In this episode, we dive into a recent experience my daughter shared: her classmates were happily hanging out until one student left—at which point they instantly began speaking negatively about that person. Disturbed by the sudden shift and anxious that others might talk about her behind her back as well, my daughter came home feeling uneasy. We’ll reflect on this situation through the lens of Yujiro Ishihara’s quote: “Never speak ill of others. Forget what you do for others right away, and never forget what others do for you.” We’ll also discuss why people resort to negative talk, how we can avoid it, and how focusing on gratitude and mutual respect makes for a healthier, more supportive environment.

Is Elon Musk—visionary behind SpaceX, Tesla, and the newly rebranded X (formerly Twitter)—secretly running the U.S. government under Donald Trump’s second term? That’s the rumor floating around online, featuring allegations of a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” massive federal layoffs, and Musk’s associates embedding themselves in key agencies like the OPM and GSA.
In this episode, we separate the wild speculation from what’s actually confirmed. We look at Musk’s well-documented ties to NASA and federal EV policies, his ongoing contact with multiple U.S. administrations, and the undeniable fact that he executed large-scale layoffs at Twitter (X). Yet, we also note the absence of any official statement verifying that Musk holds real power to reshape federal agencies or control government funds.

In this episode, we dive into how AI agents are reshaping consumer behavior—from automatically finding the best deal on a recommended product to handling complex, multi-faceted requests. We discuss why conventional SEO tactics are no longer sufficient in a world where AI prioritizes “real-world” trust, reviews, and the ability to meet highly specific criteria.
We then introduce the concept of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), explaining how AI gathers and generates answers using authoritative, real-time data, and what that means for businesses trying to stay competitive. Whether it’s ensuring the credibility of your product details, strategically managing customer reviews, or integrating your data through APIs, you’ll learn the critical adjustments needed to stay relevant. Join us to explore the new marketing imperatives—and discover why, in an era dominated by AI, reliable information, strong reputation, and rapid adaptation are the keys to success.

In this episode, we dive into the world of AI-driven quant investing and ask whether this powerful combination might be truly unbeatable. We start by explaining the basics of quant investing—how data, math, and statistics guide investment decisions—and show how AI’s ability to process massive amounts of information in real time can supercharge these methods.
We also address the big question: if everyone starts using AI, won’t all strategies become the same? We’ll explore why that’s unlikely, how “counter-AI” strategies emerge, and why the human element—our goals, creativity, and vision—still plays a crucial role. Finally, we consider AI not as a magic bullet but as a tool that requires responsible use and a clear purpose.

In this episode, we explore Elon Musk’s bold plan to cut U.S. federal employees by offering them full pay if they resign—otherwise facing potential layoffs—and why this approach simply wouldn’t fly in Japan. We break down how America’s top-down, performance-driven culture enables leaders like Musk (and the U.S. president) to enact sweeping reforms, in contrast to Japan’s entrenched bureaucracy, robust job security for civil servants, and powerful labor protections. We also discuss the deeper cultural and legal reasons behind Japan’s slower pace of change, considering whether small shifts—like increased adoption of AI in government—might eventually spark bigger reforms. Tune in for a thought-provoking look at two very different systems of governance.

In this episode, we dive into DeepSeek (深度求索), a rising AI company from China, and its visionary founder, Liang Wenfeng. Formerly a hedge fund entrepreneur managing over ¥1 trillion in assets, Liang transitioned into AI with a mission to make advanced AI transparent and accessible to everyone.
DeepSeek stands out by prioritizing Explainable AI (XAI) over commercial expansion. With a world-class team from institutions like Tsinghua University, Peking University, Microsoft Research Asia, Google Brain, and Alibaba DAMO Academy, the company is working to break AI’s “black box” and ensure AI decisions are understandable.
Since its founding in 2023, DeepSeek has developed DeepSeek-R1, an open-source AI framework, improved fraud detection by 30%, and launched DeepSeek-Mind, a cutting-edge multimodal AI model that has already gained recognition in MIT Technology Review’s Top 10 AI Applications.

In this episode, we explore the contrasting “light and shadow” of libertarian thought through two novels: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Jennifer Government by Max Barry. Atlas Shrugged illustrates the optimistic side of libertarianism—spotlighting innovation, personal responsibility, and the perils of excessive regulation. Jennifer Government, on the other hand, depicts a near-future dystopia where corporate power undermines public services, and the weakest members of society are left behind. We’ll discuss how these works raise tough questions about freedom versus social responsibility, the role of government, and whether unbridled competition ultimately helps or harms. Join us for insights into how fiction can illuminate real-world debates on liberty.

In this episode, we explore how advances in AI are empowering individuals to handle tasks that previously required entire teams. Yet this newfound “freedom” comes with a twist: if we don’t continually learn how to use AI effectively, we risk being left behind—merely following instructions instead of offering real value. We also discuss why the most successful future businesses will be built with AI at their core, leveraging it to streamline knowledge work while demanding ever more creativity from the human side. Finally, we cover how each of us can choose whether to be “used” by AI or to embrace its potential by studying and experimenting, ultimately shaping a more liberating future for ourselves.

Drawing from my experiences climbing the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest, I’ve developed a unique way to assess my physical and mental state by thinking of it as “altitude.” At higher “altitudes,” like 6,000m or 7,000m, fatigue and foggy thinking become warning signs to slow down and focus on recovery.
In this episode, I share how I combine this mindset with exercise routines, like swimming and running, as barometers for my health. I also emphasize the importance of rest—sleep, nutrition, and pacing—to keep your “altitude” manageable.
The key takeaway? You don’t need to climb mountains to benefit from a personal system like this. By creating your own “health barometer,” you can better tune into your body’s needs, prevent burnout, and maintain long-term balance in your life.

In this episode, we examine the idea that Donald Trump acted like the first CEO of “Corporate America,” running the country as a business and viewing citizens as shareholders. We discuss the privatization of prisons, the commodification of war, and how tech entrepreneurs are building new governance systems beyond traditional government control. Is this kind of corporate-driven model more efficient, or does it risk sidelining those who don’t turn a profit? Join us for a look at how shifting economic and technological realities are shaking up our notions of the nation-state, and what it means for our collective future.

In this episode, we explore the debate surrounding Alaska’s iconic mountain—currently known as Denali—and the push by President Trump to revert its name to Mount McKinley. We discuss the mountain’s astounding beauty, the unique challenges of climbing it, and the deep cultural significance it holds for the indigenous Athabascan people, who have called it “Denali” (“the high one”) for centuries. We also examine the political motivations behind the proposed name change, why many see it as a dismissal of local heritage, and why a name can symbolize far more than just a label.
-
In this episode, we examine President Trump’s recent large-scale pardon of approximately 1,500 to 1,600 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. We explore how this unprecedented use of presidential power has sparked intense debate across America—ranging from questions of judicial independence and the proper limits of executive authority, to the deepening social divide between supporters and opponents of the previous administration. We also look back on historical examples, such as Nazi Germany and militarist Japan, highlighting how easily extreme forces can rise when society fails to question troubling events. Finally, we discuss why it’s crucial for each of us to remain informed, curious, and willing to question political actions—even if we can’t singlehandedly change the system.

The idea of a “G-Zero World” describes a leaderless global state, where no single nation takes charge, leaving international challenges unresolved. It might sound unsettling, but history shows us that similar periods—like the fall of the Roman Empire or the post-World War I era—often paved the way for new orders and innovation.
In this episode, we’ll explore the characteristics of today’s G-Zero World and how it compares to past moments of transition. While the uncertainty can feel overwhelming, could this chaos also spark new ideas and solutions for global challenges? Together, let’s reflect on what history can teach us and where we might go from here.
