AI hot take is one of the many reasons that the general public doesn't love AI is they're not benefiting from any of the economic boon it's given, right?
Like, who are the people who love AI?
The venture capitalists, people getting paid really high salaries.
The average American is fully locked out of that wealth creation.
And I think the companies are realizing that they're like, OK, fine, if I can give the average American some piece of that wealth creation, they'll start feeling more favorably towards it.
Yeah, so I think private market investing is one.
I don't think everyone should invest in private markets.
I think private market investing is something you do when you kind of have your index funds.
You have the majority of your portfolio locked in.
Personally, I'm very irresponsible.
I have more than half my money in private markets.
I do not think people should do that.
So I totally would that.
But I think as you think about you're building a legitimate portfolio within that, owning 100% index funds or whatever, a certain point starts to feel a bit irresponsible because you're fully kind of hedged with how the market is.
And while the market goes well, you don't have that many opportunities to have asymmetric bets, right?
Again, Bitcoin back in the day was an asymmetric bet.
And I think if you can afford it, if you have 70, 80, 90% indexing the market, you can afford to take asymmetric bets with the leftover 10, 15, 20%.
And that's where I think private markets can come in because so much of the compounding of wealth in America lately happens in private markets.
Companies are staying private longer.
On average, the number of public companies in America has fallen by half.
