I remember when I was preparing for the Roman Empire episode, I came across a lot of places where there was a rigorous discussion about the intricate tax collection algorithms used by the Roman Empire.
The reason I use the word algorithms is basically there's a systematic process for determining how much you owe based on your location, based on your status, based on your job, based on all these kinds of factors. It's sad, but those rules in the early days initially give power to the individual because they protect the individual.
But when they become too complicated, then the bureaucracy, the centralized power, starts to abuse its power by using the rules. And then the individual loses power because they can't figure out the complexity of the rules. That's essentially why you need the CPAs and the firms to figure out the complexity. Anyway, these guys are good. Talk with one of their strategists for free today.
Call 1-800-958-1000 or go to tnusa.com slash lex. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp, spelled H-E-L-P, help. I got to recently meet a lot of interesting people when I visited San Francisco. I was there in part to celebrate Josje Bak and the newly launched California Institute for Machine Consciousness. I, by the way, encourage you to check it out. I think it's C-I-M-C dot A-I.
And there, I talked to a lot of brilliant people, and one of them was a grad student studying the so-called dark triad. These are the three personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. A little bit for a brief moment, it made me wish I took that path of studying the human mind. And perhaps that is the indirect way.
Through all the AI, through all the programming, through all the building of systems, and now with the podcast, Maybe I somehow sneaked up to that dream in the end. Anyway, I say all that because these topics are studying the extremes of the human mind. But of course, the extremes are just the edges of an incredibly complicated system that's just so fascinating to study.
