Played a quick game with Daniel Negreanu (Daniel Negreanu) before the podcast. Wild how fast someone at his level can read you. We spoke about how people behave when the stakes rise, what pressure does to decision-making, how influence works at a table, and physical cues. Also got into failure, long losing stretches, early life, Vegas, reading people, chess vs poker and poker math. Very few people think this cleanly about competition and human behaviour.

PGX Ideas with Aravind Srinivas, Co-founder and CEO of Perplexity - What does it mean to be intelligent? Why humans wonder. Why we create. Whether AI understands anything at all or is it merely mimicking intelligence. And the deeper questions that follow from that. We spoke about emergence, India’s competitive culture, China, behaviorism, memory, learning, hardware, and the question of where this all leads. The AI Hindi-dubbed version of this episode is also attached in this thread. Enjoy.

Did a PGX Ideas episode with Gad Saad. In case you guys aren’t familiar with the format — I take one central question and chase it with the guest. With Gad, I asked: Why do we want what we want? That led us to questions like: - Why humans are wired to consume - Why we over-consume and compare - Why men chase power - How marketing exploits evolutionary instincts - Why people buy ideologies, not just products - And how technology will change human desire itself The Hindi-dubbed AI version is also attached in this thread. Timestamps: 00:00 — Why are humans wired to consume? 05:27 — Why do people avoid emotional principles? 08:36 — Why do we over-consume? 13:04 — Why do men chase power? 17:32 — How do humans consume? 29:40 — Are fake smiles a form of social deception? 33:11 — Why did Mamdani win? 39:40 — What do marketers understand about humans? 43:24 — Why do we buy through comparison? 45:44 — What’s broken in modern society? 48:10 — Why do intellectuals dress poorly? 56:14 — How marketing psychology actually works 1:05:00 — How do generations differ in consumption? 1:07:44 — The Sydney Sweeney controversy 1:10:33 — Does morality shape evolution? 1:15:35 — How will technology change consumption? 1:22:46 — Questions for me
