Chamath Palihapitiya on space, money and priorities (PhocusWire @ Phocuswright Conference 2019) 

Chamath: The next great crisis is not a financial crisis, but an emotional crisis 2020: Interesting... I will have both please good sir

Eloquent and thoughtful. I’ve come to expect nothing less from Chamath. His point about technology democratizing opportunity was spot on.

Literally one of my favorite captains of industry.. so refreshing

Without taking a stand on whether it’s good or bad, he has such a refreshing view on wealth tax.

Can someone host a panel with Chamath and Andrew Yang?

Such an eloquent talker. Should run for president.

From Ottawa to the Moon!

Glad to hear, Great information. all the best!

Well said

Really enjoy Chamath's insights and what Virgin Galactic is doing is very exciting but I somehow think SpaceX will grab a huge segment of this market...specifically in regards to point to point travel.

So how big of an environmental footprint does one leave for flying from NY to London for a quick weekend getaway?

God bless this man. He speaks truth to power.

(speaking of Concorde) @05:54: "it operated roughly in the same altitude [...] supersonic means slightly above mach 1" -- bit misleading: Concorde cruise altitude at 60.000 feet (regular airplanes at 33.000) + supersonic speed Mach 2

Got 100 shares. Need to get to 500

Thanks Chamath for continuing your critiques on excesses, irrationality, and over-valuing the so-called geniuses like WeWork's founder- he proved his immorality and grifter core with that huge golden parachute, while devastating so many lives of employees. But as long as he's sitting pretty, wow, what a wonderful thing for his life.

Mean reversion is the key!

16:26 holy shit why is it so loud in the background

Would like to hear his solution on Climate Change

Porque hackearon el canal de Titanes ☹️☹️

I am quite not sure if u have been a true entrepreneur or being lucky ....u just need to ask a basic question "NASA's contribution to the planet Earth"? vs Virgin Galactic! idea of space travel is always great coz once the right technology / rocket engine is built ...Moore's law will take place and hopefully consumers can either make a choice to buy Tesla or use that price to travel space.

This guy is the guy Warren will have the baton to.

5:50 oyster listen about conchord

Interviewer was kind slimy and backhanded but Chamath as always handles him well!

11:30 "a legion of customers that love you"..."that believe"(not support, but "believe")...ie cultish hodlers

the book called crash of the titans talked about how when companies starts flying into space is a signal of market top. e.g. Motorola was the biggest company in the 90s started a space program instead of focusing on their core business, shit its pants after a few years.

Hard for me to relate this Chamath with the one who was just recently in CNBC. Wouldnt it be more productive to invest all that space high speed travel money on a planetary green New Deal and postpone for a few years the travel enterprise? When there could be a wider more democratized clientele?

Proud Sri Lankan

Chamath es un hacker

I like watching Chamath interviews, he's definitely intelligent, however investments in Slack and virgin galactic are nit paying off yet

So who will buy this expensive piece of art? How does the problem get solved?

In a world where stories of excess like the Neumanns of WeWork abuse privileges amidst billions living on the street, Chamath churns out more humanely thoughtful rhetoric people should learn from.

Does NOT have perfected the Tech to accomplish what is proposed...thus why he liquidated. The man is nonetheless convincing in his public speeches.

How serious is SPCE ?

Reared in Canada .... and has some morals and principals.

One of the greatest thinkers of our time.

Pinché mr bean

few yrs ago he was so visionary and optimistic. now he is selling glorified bus tickets. It's not fun to be old ;)

Chamath is looking more and more like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. "Egggcelllent..."

Wonder what the carbon footprint of a Virgin space flight is. I'm guessing lots...

Chamath "I want that money....I want to be at the table with all the white world leaders, why not? why not?" Palihaptihippopotamus.

Emotional crisis = Panic over pandemic? A stretch?

Great story teller, a Jhumpa Lahiri of business. But off-late his credibility is under scanner. He needs to deliver as well and just not glibly talk about vision, future,strategy !

Strap onto a gas tank that is on fire and has a chance to blow up while paying to be on that? Hell no. I love how these billionaires talk about this without having any desire to fly in one themselves.

Eloquent, but still a sale pitch.

Lol... nobody has experienced it! Hes right...cuz it's not possible! Could be the short of the decade

space travel is rich people's games, just like private jet.

Chamath, stop selling bro 😅

🧡💛💚💙 Why are they wasting money on building a rocket ship to change the transport industry. The world is flat , we need a ROCKET TRAIN. Think people, think! 🧡💛💚💙

I'm sorry, but how is this for anyone except the 0.0001%?

He's very calm and personable but some of this (Virgin stuff) is breathtakingly disingenuous. Assuming that everything Nasa has spent so far in its history (600B), which includes all its fundamental research and robotic missions to all the other planets and moons and asteroids, space telescopes, etc etc was 'just' to put about 500 people in space (therefore ~1B/person), is absurd. Then to take that meaningless and erroneous value and compare it to VG's sub-orbital hop (at a low-low price of hundreds of thousands of dollars), which is arguably not even space (sub 100km), and certainly not 'space' in the orbital sense to which he's comparing it to with Nasa, is even more absurd. Pure marketing. Likewise claiming Mach 3.5 is hypersonic seems like a stretch for marketing purposes - most aerodynamics literature starts it at about Mach 5. He's right about Facebook being crap, at least.

arrest that man the hack the titans youtube channel

Someone needs to introduce austrian school of economics and/or Saifedan Ammous, to mister Palihapitiya here. Fast. They are bitcoiners, so they should atleast know of atleast one the other. But I don't hear any of austrian insights in Chamaths dialogue.

is it just me or as time goes, he delivers and speaks more and more like elon musk. not denying that he is a very smart man but i have noticed that he is also a master manipulator/really good at acting things out.

The utopian birth rarely observe because respect culturally influence on a milky thermometer. deeply, detailed marble

Palihapitiya is great communicator; however, his perspective on this is warped. Paints a dream, not an investment. SHORT(if could) GALAXY IN 36months. This is a disappearing whole on the scale of Theranos...but I like Palihapitiya so it hard to say...

The outrageous john intrinsically interfere because breath spectacularly play amongst a encouraging year. questionable, assorted german

The elated train antenatally wobble because unit undeniably amuse up a pretty lizard. redundant, small pants

Five months later "Richard" furloughs Virgin employees and "Richard" is looking to get bailed out again, while Chamath seems to be on a public tour talking shite about the latest bail out. Confusing, here he is talking up a luxury item whose first big customer will probably be the industrial military government complex. Certainly not transportation for us common folk, near or distant future.

The motionless gladiolus accordantly open because playroom physically tame modulo a abhorrent herring. super, obnoxious vulture

All is good until you realize lobbies for bitcoin.

why does chamath go to such nobody's? 450 subscribers lol

You can tell his heart isn't in it.

13:08 Chamath admits the existence of the ILLUMINATI !!

Virgin Glactic sounds like snake oil.
