Episode 2110 notes Today, we're going to explore the parallels between two core human pursuits, prosperity and longevity. These have long been the goals of individual societies and political systems. Since the dawn of humanity, we have sought systems that offer comfort and freedom to pursue our desires. We now define that broadly as prosperity Today, Dr. Firouz Daneshgari (Dr Bowtie) and I are going to explore the parallels between two core human pursuits: Prosperity and Longevity, as these have long been the goals of individual societies and political systems. Since the dawn of humanity, we have sought systems that offer comfort and freedom to pursue our desires. We now define that broadly as prosperity. Dr. Firouz Daneshgari: "D.O.G.E., (Department Of Government Efficiencies) is doing some the stuff that a lot of people admire. They say this is the way it has to be. Some people are scared. What are they doing? So I thought this is the time for us to kind of step back and basically ask some fundamental big questions: Why American society - 5% of world's population - generates a good, one third of the world GDP. And what is the engine? What is it? You know, are we different kind of human beings or. And the answer is no. “Don't focus on your goals, focus on your systems”. Because everyone has goals. Both the winners and losers have the same goal. They want to, you know, win something. It is the difference in the systems, that basically determines who wins and who loses."
