Which particular technology innovations have you found it worth to put your money in?

Totally.

And I mean, I think the name Pax, like you said, says it all where the eras of relative stability have been defined by who is in power and who has the most technological power.

And I think for us in America to be able to ensure continued stability

relative stability in the world, we need to make sure our robotic systems are incredible, our supply chain, and our ability to mine and refine critical minerals.

I invested in a mining company called Mariana Minerals that's working to reshore all of our capacity to bring all these critical minerals to the industrial base.

I think

Looking around corners, what should we prepare against for future threats?

We should be looking at biosecurity and biodefense.

We should be looking at all sorts of things on the AI and what that does for cybersecurity.

And so I think there's an element of like, how do we reshore and reindustrialize?

And how do we see around corners for what are the threats coming next?

Michelle, hi, it's Ed.

It's good to see you.

Welcome to the show.

I'll go back to basics just for a second.

So you were at Andreessen Horowitz and you were part of this American Dynamism team.

And the thesis was like simply supporting the national interest.

And you've decided to go out and do something almost solo, right?

And I just wonder if you reflect a little bit on the decision-making behind that, the pros and cons of going from such a big team within a big firm to doing this with PAX.
