#18 Naval Ravikant: The Angel Philosopher

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

NOTE

Embracing the 'Micro' Mentality

The speaker has changed their mind on macroeconomics, viewing it as a discipline that doesn't make falsifiable predictions and is corrupted by political narratives. They believe that spending time on macroeconomics is no better than astrology and consider it to be junk science. However, the speaker still sees the value in microeconomics and game theory, viewing them as fundamental for success in business and navigating modern society. They apply this 'micro' mentality to other areas as well, such as environmentalism, charity, and improving the world, emphasizing the importance of changing oneself and influencing smaller spheres before attempting to change the world at large.
