It is a book written in 1994 that analyzes world history with what they call a "Theory of Megapolitics". Basically they study what are the factors that come in hand on making violence profitable and apply it to politics and project it into the future. It predicts many things and unveils many patterns that are occuring in the whole world now that are too big for us to notice. It deals in many ways with the future of the West.

This book and its authors have a long standing track record of accurate prediction. I like how many things they theorized are going to be affected by crypto.

I won't tell you more because every time I've discussed this book I have spent too much time explaining their theory. Literally hours and dozens of paragraphs of text. It really is a fascinating book that shows you how everything is from very "above".

>>10712212
hmmm thanks, ill have to check it out for sure sounds pretty interesting... have you made any decisions for your life based on predictions of this book alone?

I have. the book predicts the rise of digital currencies based on cryptography (aka crypto) and so it solidified my confidence in buying Bitcoin. The book was written in 1994 and has some eerie predictions and an interesting take on history.

The book predicts that the nation states will gradually fall apart and a new order will arise based around "sovereign individuals" and their extended retainer or social networks. The world will switch to favoring defense and efficiency over offense and expansion in the realm of violence. Basically they predict a sort of neo-feudal ancapistan, but they paint a neutral rather than nightmarish portrait overall.

>Amit Aujla: What's the most important or influential book you've read?

>Peter Thiel: The Sovereign Individual (Touchstone, 1997), by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg, is an unusual book that I read at a singular moment, just before starting PayPal. A lot of thinking about technology oscillates between two extremes: It's either a big historical force acting over the long term or it's a matter of short-term trends to bet on. The Sovereign Individual is different because it takes foresight seriously: If you think hard, you can understand and make plans for a future lasting 10, 20 years or more--and that's how you have to think to be successful.

hmm that was interesting, who is that guy? I might have to check out this Sovereign Individual book. I'm wondered myself for awhile if we've been headed on a nationless path. but, I always assumed that the United Nations would eventually govern all. I never before considered individuals, but fuck... it kind of clicks. You can already see reminiscences of it now with twitch streamers. Whenever I think of them, I think of stadiums and arenas filled to the brim, watching a man hunched over in a single spotlight in front of a computer. Making tens of thousands of dollars, living like a king.

Irregardless of my theory, that guy made a really good point about what survives a financial meltdown- the stuff that was already there, that became far more valued

Did you compare/contrast chapters and parts of the book? I thought that at first but it might be the same. To play it safe i might just buy it

If I was limited to ONE book for /biz/ then Principles by Ray Dalio, it has the right mix of self-help literature about seeing life as an evolutionary and progressive process where you're learning, how to set goals, how to make better informed decisions and balance opinions of experts. But, at least the version I read, is full of practical management and business expertise - how to design departments, what to consider when hiring people or assigning them 'goals' (not tasks), avoiding micromanagement.

Society of Mind and Institutio Oratoria are the only other two books I've ever come across with a similarly dense informational content. But only the latter is /biz/ related.

I just heard this thing where a guy said that Yukio Mishima's pathetic attempt at a military coup was the quintessentially Japanese hero story

>>10713856
Haven't read it myself but it seems to coalesce a lot of very solid observations about business strategy and in particular positioning, way better than Blue Ocean Strategy or other meme books like that. You could get the same information elsewhere but why not get it from one of the most successful Venture Capitalists around rather than some bozo who gets bandied about as a 'guru' and hasn't been involved in any company other than his own consultancy business?

"The Rational Male" by Rollo Tomassi

"Think and Grow Rich" is a good book for anyone desu. Talks about more of the mental/subconscious part of success(doesn't necessarily have to be money). Also talks about creativity and how new ideas form. Book is based on the analysis of like 200 hundred great businessmen including Andrew Carnegie.

Finished this last week, it's pretty much a hidden gem. Absolutely fascinating analysis from the 90's. It seems that their predictions are comming true a little slower than they expected, but we are getting there for sure. They absolutely nailed the emergence of bitcoin, current political polarization, how leftists and nationalists will both attack digital currencies as they undermine nationstate, and the absolute ethical downfall of journalism. The next 25 years will be exciting.

Anybody who reads The Sovereign Individual and The Bitcoin Standard with an open mind is gonna become a bitcoin hodler.

You guys probably think people are born creative as well right?

The Fountainhead
while Randian objectivism has its flaws, it's more logically consistent than other ideologies. the worship of man and of the potential of man and stoicism as a means to an end rather than a masturbatory moral position are timeless virtues that will carry you far in this world
don't fall for the anti-family meme though

I don't understand why people bother reading her fiction books to learn about her philosophy. Her book "Virtue of Selfishness" is better and you won't waste a third of the time you would with her novels.

Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher Bishop

>>10716396
Brilliant book. Might as well be called "Bayesian Graphical Models". It shows you how practically any machine learning model can be devised from a basic foundation made up of a set of rules. You can apply this to engineering, econometrics, whatever. No "data science" bs.

https://link.smartcontract.com/whitepaper

>>10716371
perhaps this wasn't clear, but i don't really care for Randian objectivism as stated, which is why i advocate for the book and not the person
Homer's Odyssey wouldn't have had the same value as a philosophical treatise, and neither does the Fountainhead. what you see as a waste of time is arguably the most important part of it all, a self-contained narrative demonstrating values through example above all (although Rand loves to hammer her points in her novels regardless, these are not the most important points)
i.e. Howard raping Dominique, the act and the manner in which it's described from buildup to finish has more insight to give you into the laws of attraction than all the seduction experts of this century, and these dynamics play a role in objectivism itself. but you can't write something like this in non-fiction, so a fundamental truth is lost

>>10716292
ok tell us what happens next then

>>10716219
Just another elaborate book shilling "LoA". Might as well read The Secret or some other fluff book

>>10715565
Not that i personally want to do that or am well versed in it but influencing people into doing and behaving what you want them to do (in a way that wont leave them hating you) is one of the most important skills in life.

Sooner or later smart people will move their wealth to crypto and gold, the governments will have no access to that and will lose a lot of taxing revenue, needing more money they will start to raise taxes on whatever they can get their hands on, this will hit real estate the most since it can't get away. Slowly these high taxes will discourage people from owning those businesses and properties so they will abandon them making the government lose even more revenue and finally collapsing. The book mentions something similar that happened during the late roman empire, look up Agri Deserti.

>>10716808
Why would governments have no access to gold?
