19. When Einstein met Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said: "What I admire about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." Chaplin replied: "It's true. But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

The best-performing stock market of 2024 is… Argentina. The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF $ARGT is doubling the S&P 500’s performance. Argentina’s new president Javier Milei @JMilei is doing something radical. He's letting free markets work. Lex Fridman @lexfridman interviewed Milei recently. It’s worth a listen because Milei’s deregulatory agenda is the blueprint for Elon Musk’s @elonmusk “DOGE” aimed at cutting government waste and red tape. In 2020, the Argentine government decided to "help" renters with strict new rules. Landlords had to offer three-year contracts, and they couldn’t raise rent much even as inflation was rampaging. The results were predictable. Rents jumped 1,800% in four years. Since Milei scrapped these damaging regulations 12 months ago, the number of rentals in Buenos Aires has tripled while rent prices have tumbled 40%. Fridman’s interview with Milei was great for another reason: AI. Milei speaks Spanish. Lex speaks English. No problemo. AI tool ElevenLabs @elevenlabs acts as a hyper-realistic translator and made it sound like a fully English conversation. ElevenLabs isn't just breaking down language barriers. It's preserving human voices. With just a few minutes of voice recordings, ElevenLabs can produce highly realistic replicas of your voice. It’s like a time capsule for sound, which is a game changer for folks suffering from diseases like ALS. ElevenLabs allows them to keep speaking in their own voice through their computer, even after they physically can't. Clone your voice and keep it forever, just in case. Between this and Neuralink’s @neuralink blindsight device that aims at restoring sight, we're entering an era where losing your ability to see or speak isn't necessarily permanent. How great is that?

Instead of “once upon a time,” Korean folk and fairy tales often begin with 호랑이 담배 피우던 시절에. It means “back when tigers smoked (pipes)”

In this sense, ornamentation gives things identity. That's why when you take away all the unique cultural details of a place, people feel isolated. They don't own their surroundings anymore.

The US is the US because we tear ourselves apart like this every half century or so. It’s why we are fundamentally an anti-fragile country and will come out on top. It’s healthy but uncomfortable chaos gifted to us by our freedoms. The non-American mind can’t comprehend this.
