Hey here's an idea I've been thinking about. I've been thinking about this for years but I think finally the technology has reached the point where it works. I'm thinking about creating my own college course. You know maybe I'd call it the Scott Adams College course. And it would be a collection of books you should read or classes you should take to have what I would call a great education that would make you a powerful citizen who could go in a lot of directions.

And yeah it would be all free or low-cost, you know meaning the price of a book. So I could say for example if you've read all of these books and you've taken these online classes, all of this stuff being low-cost, then I give you the Scott Adams degree.

Now at the moment the Scott Adams degree would not be a great brand, right? So my brand is not strong enough to make this idea work. But now imagine it's Warren Buffett or it's Bill Gates or it's Elon Musk.

All right. So imagine other than me. And I don't have that kind of credibility that somebody seriously credible says, let's take Warren Buffett. He's my favorite example. Let's say Warren Buffett or Jeff Bezos for example. Someone who is unambiguously successful and knows a lot. And they say all right here's the Warren Buffett class. You got to read these 50 books. It's a lot. It's gonna be a lot of books, right? It's not gonna be six books but you got to read these fifty books and you got to take these online classes. And when you're done I, Warren Buffett, would totally hire you in a heartbeat if you've done all those things.

All right. So that would be, do you say Jordan Peterson was working on this? That would be interesting.

Now it might be that people like me or Jordan Peterson or anybody else who's interested could start putting together their own curriculum if you will. And in the short run it's just something that people say oh that's good information about what to read. And in the long run maybe it's worth something. So in the long run maybe we can make our brands worth something.

Tim Ferriss would be a perfect example of someone who has credibility and could have a curriculum. Peter Thiel and Jordan Peterson are working on this, like actually working together or working separately.

You should post your 50 books. I'm not sure I have 50 books. You know it's the sort of thing if I were going to do this I wouldn't do it casually. I would have to read the books first and then make sure there were the right 50 books.

All right. Focusing on the humanities is just reading your comments. Or like a trade product. Yeah. Taleb's books. "Skin in the Game." Yeah. Lot of us have brands that are not general. So if you wanted let's say a business degree then you'd want something like a Warren Buffett business degree. So his recommendations would be around things that are specifically business, good for business.

You can imagine Jordan Peterson doing something specifically around the humanities. And you could imagine me doing something specifically around persuasion and success and stuff like that.

All right. Get Tom Sowell involved. I downloaded some of Thomas Sowell's books when I was traveling and I didn't get to them but he's I think he's next on my list of stuff to read after I read Greg Gutfeld's new book. Value investing. Yeah. Carmen Simon. Yes she could have a curriculum as well. Yeah. Naval Ravikant. He could come up with a curriculum.
