This video was made by the a16z video team.
Many of the visuals were painstakingly built in 3D, rendered, and then treated. We custom composed a track to the video. A tool was built to sort through thousands of archived footage.
A massive effort by incredible people.
Enjoy.
Between 1982 and 2020, the number of the 100 richest Americans who got rich from inheritance decreased from 60 to 27. And yet on the left they think the mid 20th century was the good old days, because economic inequality was lower then.

no suppliment/peptide can beat the POWER this method has on your ability to concentrate on deep work
here is an excerpt from my article on reversing retardation…
𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗙𝗔𝗨𝗟𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞
tesla. houdini. tolkein.
electricity. showmanship. unprecedented storytelling.
the type of genius we haven’t seen in half a century.
what if i told you the gap between modern people & historical geniuses wasn’t just IQ…
but rather the inability to access the brain’s “default mode network.”
the state your brain enters during silence.
no scrolling. no podcasts. no stimulation.
just boredom.
𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙨:
•processing memories
•solving problems
•generating original ideas
tesla’s inventions were not internalised in the 15mins of silence in between putting the phone down, making a coffee & going back to doomscrolling….
they came in moments of spontaneity after long walks in silence
technology has given humanity convenience at the expense of genius.
HOW TO ENTER THE DEFAULT MODE NETWORK TODAY
this will feel like death at first…
•avoid tech 1hr prior to waking
•train before stimulation
•create before consuming
that podcast does not need to be running while you train, shower, shave & get ready
segmenting certain activities for silence slowly restores dopamine sensitivity.
𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙮:
•music hits harder
•work becomes easier to start
•focus deepens
•creativity returns
your ability to stabilise dopamine is directly correlated to the quality of your ideas.
