🔥 $PLTR Co-founder Joe Lonsdale with Tom Bilyeu on Why Meritocracy and Intelligence Matters "At Palantir, we started off with a bunch of these math champions and chess champions, just the best people out of the Ph.D. programs at Stanford, MIT, and other places. They brought their smartest friends, who brought their smartest friends, and that’s just a huge advantage. In the tech world, with the very, very top companies, you don’t see just average people there. You see extraordinarily bright minds, and that three, four, or fifth standard deviation of skill is the same way. By the way, if you want to have the Oakland A’s be a top baseball team or a top basketball team, you can’t just have an average guy on the team. You need the very, very best—the top merit in that area. In some cases, it’s a skill, like in sports. In other areas, it’s IQ, and IQ matters a lot for what we’re doing." The American government was really competent in the mid-20th century. Is it something that no one else could do? You know, we fought two world wars. We went to the Moon. It turns out that we used to have really hard tests to run things in the U.S. government. So, allow me to go back a little bit to the 19th century. The government grew a lot after the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln created a lot of new departments, and the central government all of a sudden became a much bigger thing in the 1860s and 70s. By the time of 1883, it was a mess. Everyone agreed, this is a mess because whoever wins the presidency just brings in all their friends, all their cronies, their stupid cousin Vinnie, whoever else. They’re all getting paid a ton of money just to hang out in D.C. and not get anything done. So, they said, “Guys, we need to have tests. We need to have merit. We need to actually say the people running things need to be really smart.” So, we put in these tests with the Pendleton Act of 1883, and these tests were there all the way through the Moon landing, through everything. Then, come the late 1970s, our country became very politicized around affirmative action. It turns out these tests had different results on average for different races. They weren’t racist tests, by the way. I would agree that the tests actually measured your performance. But despite that, the activist courts on the left said, “No more tests.” So, around 1980 or so, they threw out the tests. And, by the way, they didn’t just throw out the tests. They made it almost impossible to fire people. They put in massive protections where it’s really hard and slow to fire people. So, starting in 1980, our government is not able to do tests anymore, not able to do merit. It just starts getting dumber slowly over time—dumber and dumber. So, for 45 years, our government’s been getting dumber. That is interesting. Tom Bilyeu: One of the great revelations of my adult life—and this actually bothers me—is the degree to which intelligence matters. What role do you think intelligence plays, full stop? Whether you’re trying to improve the government, whether you’re trying to be the baddest kid on the international block, or you’re trying to build a company? Joe Lonsdale: This is a really important point because, obviously, intelligence isn’t everything. I think integrity, faith, why you care about the world, and your motives matter to help people. But if you actually want to be effective at whatever those motives are, intelligence is absolutely central. Merit is absolutely central. If you look at the very top companies versus an average company, you have the best and the brightest.
