I don't want a drone coming outside my window; it's that simple. If you have a drop point for drones to deliver goods and services, fine. If you got a package, leave it in the back. But don't come up to my window knocking and say, "Are you in? Can I come in?" No.

Plus, these are airborne things. There's got to be a limit to how much they can carry. There's physics behind this. All right? If you carry a light box with a thumb drive in it that someone ordered, fine. But suppose I order a weight set? Suppose your drone is not carrying my dumbbells?

Okay, suppose you ordered a 5B bag of sugar. Or if you built the drone strong enough to carry heavy groceries, it will be loud and large. I don't see that happening. If I see a drone outside my window, I'm shooting it. Okay? I'm sorry, and I've never shot a gun in my life.

I'll go buy a gun just to shoot the drone that shows up outside my window. I don't know what kind of camera is on it; I don't know where it's from. I don't know. No, no, do something else with your drones, but don't put them by my window.

Charlie Munger: The Investment Opportunity of a Lifetime

The Best Advice I Can Give Anybody in Their 40's and 50's

There’s a life cycle: right, your teens, your 20s, your 30s, and so on. Every phase is a little bit different, or quite a bit different. People have asked me, uh, in their 20s, what is good advice for their 20s. I gave that, and now I’ve gotten some quest…

My thoughts on money and relationships

What’s up you guys? It’s Graham here. So, a little over a year ago, I posted a video about why I was single and, uh, well, lo and behold, weird timing, but right after I posted the video, I met my girlfriend, Macy. Since then, I’ve largely shut the door o…

How the Quantum Vacuum Gave Rise to Galaxies

We take it for granted that our universe contains planets, stars, and galaxies because those are the things we see. But the only reason these big structures exist is because of the nature of nothingness - empty space. But to understand why, we have to go…

What we have here is just a small sample of the types of molecules that you will see in a biological system. At the top left, right over here, you have an example of an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. If we were to take a look…
