Early access to smartphones and social media has damaged Gen Z... and they know it. Jonathan Haidt explains: "I have this analysis of what happened to Gen Z. I paint Gen Z as a generation that's been damaged, that's going to be less than they would have been." "They're less ambitious, they're less successful, they're less happy, they're less competent." "I've given a version of this talk in middle schools, in high schools, in universities. I always ask at the end of it, 'What do you think? Did I get your generation wrong?'" "Maybe one time someone said, 'I think you got this wrong.' The other thousands and thousands and thousands of times they say, 'Yup, that's basically right.'" "Young kids like 9-10, they desperately want phone, TikTok, everything." "But by the time they're in late high school or certainly college, the overwhelming view I find among Gen Z is, 'Wow, did this mess us up.'" "'Not that I'm going to quit because I don't want to be alone, but man, did this mess us up.'" And that's why when you ask them, 'Do you wish social media was never invented?'" "Most of them say, 'Yes, I wish it was never invented.' That's why this is so different from any previous tech panic, it's that the kids themselves see the problem." #reels #socialmedia #technology #instagram #tiktok #genz #millennials #smartphone #screentime

How China views the US: "You can't have two tigers in the valley." 🐅🐅 At last year's All-In Summit, the legendary Graham Allison broke down how China views itself when compared to America and the West: "... for four or five thousand years, (China was) the predominant power in all the world they knew." "They're Confucian. Harmony and peace comes through hierarchy. They're at the top of the hierarchy. That's the normal place." "They were displaced from this by Westerners with technology 150 years ago. They call that the century of humiliation. And their aspiration is to go back to normal." "China is the 'center of the universe.' You can't have two tigers in the valley. There's the big one and the other one." This year, you can learn directly from the world's greatest minds at AIS 2024.

Politicians Have Broken the Trust of the American People This is a major challenge. At last year's All-In Summit, Rep.

"My job in life is to make the power law." David Friedberg cooked on this one. 🧑🍳🍳 "The biggest piece of advice that I still struggle to take every day, every time I have, though, it's had profound impact on my life, is to focus." "Every time I focused and avoided distractions, it's made a huge impact." "I think that everyone assumes that there's this power law in the world that you are a passive participant in. You're either going to catch one of the power law winners or you're going to lose it. Therefore, you've got to portfolio your way to a power law to catch a power law." "I don't give a s*** about that because I think my job in life is to make the power law and to make that outcome. And I feel like that has made a huge impact on how I think about life." "Every time I've tried to act on it, it's actually paid back significantly." "So focus is the biggest piece of advice I've gotten that I think matters." "Seven Samurai. Akira Kurosawa did such an amazing job representing this ethos, I think. You strike, and you strike perfectly, and you strike with full force, and with all your energy, and everything you have, your whole character, everything. And you can accomplish incredible things." #focus #success #business #tips #learn #howto #startups #tech #entrepreneur #founder #usa #allinpodcast #allin #allinpod #clips #podcastclips

America Needs Nuclear Energy to Compete with China On E189, David Friedberg did a deep dive on the current and future state of energy in the US and China: Total capacity: -- today, china has ~3x electricity production capacity (~3 terawatts 🇨🇳 vs ~1 tw 🇺🇸) -- by 2050, 🇨🇳 anticipates to nearly triple capacity to 8.7 tws vs ~2 in 🇺🇸 Cost: -- today, 🇨🇳 is ~3x more efficient vs 🇺🇸 -- 7-9 cents/kwh in 🇨🇳 vs 17-25 cents/kwh in 🇺🇸 -- by 2050, 🇨🇳 expects to decrease cost to ~6 cents/kwh Innovation: -- 🇨🇳 just demonstrated its new pebble-bed reactor can pass a “meltdown” test -- 🇨🇳 has 26 reactors in construction with plans to add ~300 Friedberg's take: "China has more electricity production, it's cheaper to make electricity, and it's cheaper to build new capacity." "And they're building at an accelerated rate." "This is why investing in and deregulating nuclear reactor technology in the United States, to enable a competitive playing field with the US and China in the decades ahead, is so critical..." If things stay the same, 🇨🇳 China will be driven by low cost, highly abundant power. 🇺🇸 America will not. #nuclear #tech #energy #china #usa #america #election #startups #innovation #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #climatetech

Lawrence H. Summers on what's wrong with America and why we can fix it: "Many of you have probably been to Harvard Square." "There's a bridge. The bridge goes over the Charles River. It's 362 feet long." "It had been around for a hundred years. It needed to be fixed." "(It took) five years and two months with one lane of traffic closed in order to renovate a 362 foot bridge." "To put that in perspective, Patton built a bridge over the Rhine -- 3,000 feet -- in one day!" "Julius Caesar built his bridge over the Rhine -- 3000 feet, not 300 feet -- in nine days!" "And this is what it took us." "So do we have huge problems? Yes." "Is this the first time we've had huge problems? Hell no." "Do I think we, all things considered, have a more solvable set of problems and a more dynamic society for solving them? Yeah, I do... than the other places." "And never forget this: we are the place that people from every part of the world want to come to." This was taped at last year's All-In Summit.

A Founder's Greatest Tool: Subtraction Tobias Lütke explains how founders are uniquely able change their companies by cutting things out: "It seems to me that it's only founders who subtract in companies." "This is the meeting thing in a nutshell. Everyone adds recurring meetings and gums up the system." "I'm super pro great meetings, but like once every year and a half or so, we randomly delete all recurring meetings." "We actually kind of do random deletion of Slack channels and all these kind of things." "Because they will come back if they are useful." This was taped at last year's All-In Summit.
