Do You think it's possible that every person in the world can be rich? (write your opinion in @talkschat)
At the first hand it seems impossible, but Naval thinks otherwise.
Naval Ravikant answers some great questions regarding building of wealth and builds a strong case how everyone can become wealthy.
The world has changed we are rapidly moving away from building of wealth by taking away from others to building of wealth by collaborating with others.
The fact that people like Jeff Bezos or Pavel Durov get rich doesn't mean that we get poorer, it's exactly the opposite. I can become rich because of the platforms these guys have built. I can stand on their shoulders so I can reach my own goals with @channelmenubot and this will in return help other telegram bloggers to reach their goals.
It's such an amazing idea, that has transformed the way I think and perceive the world.
World doesn't look like a scary place, it looks more like a place with lots of opportunities to be discovered !
If you want to become rich by helping other, but you're still struggling with ideas listen and re-listen to this podcast.

The next outbreak? We’re not ready | Bill Gates | TED
In 2014, the world avoided a horrific global outbreak of Ebola, thanks to thousands of selfless health workers -- plus, frankly, thanks to some very good luck. In hindsight, we know what we should have done better. So, now's the time, Bill Gates suggests…
Before you can be emotionally intelligent, you have to become emotionally literate. Which means you should be able to pause at any moment and understand "What am I feeling right now?"
Here's a list of Emotions that might help with that:
Fear → feeling of being afraid , frightened, scared.
Anger → feeling angry. A stronger word for anger is rage
Sadness → feeling sad. Other words are sorrow, grief (a stronger feeling, for example when someone has died)
Joy → feeling happy. Other words are happiness, gladness
Disgust → feeling something is wrong or nasty. Strong disapproval.
Surprise → being unprepared for something.
Trust → a positive emotion; admiration is stronger; acceptance is weaker.
Anticipation → in the sense of looking forward positively to something which is going to happen. Expectation is more neutral.

Someone had a really busy quarantine 😱
Since the launch of @channelmenubot the major problem was convincing people to try our service.
People hate trying new things!
Even if it will save them hours of useless work or brings them value. They don't want it !
People just want be left alone in a permanent state, but it's impossible live is always changing and u have to adapt or die.
I think if I decide to try 1 new thing every month, I will be ahead of the 99% of people in 2 years time.

It seems pretty apparent that American political system needs reforms. The people sitting in Senate are out of touch busy fighting each other for power and main weapon- blaming.
The democratic party clearly lacks any leadership. They do not act with reason, they seem to be constantly reacting with emotions. Why do they always advertise Trump? It started with Hilary Clinton's campaign. With all the smartest campaign managers they haven't learned that any advertising is good advertising. I was 100% sure she was going to become a president untill I saw her campaign ad 🤦♂it was talking about Trump!
Democrats need new leaders who can lead, not complain. They should look for ideas of reforms from the current crisis, test them for people support and promote their ideas instead of Trump.

Again my humble outside/calm observation on US politics:
- I see only one leader, who is being constantly advertised by everyone - Trump.
- Current crisis is a feedback from people asking for justice.
Great!
Design justice reforms and lead them, or continue crying and pass responsibility to Trump.
I think that this must come from Democratic Party, they should stop playing identity politics and get back to core problems.
Republicans and Democrats have been able to generate great balance of the Strength and Empathy.
At least that what it looks like to outsider: Republicans are about Strength and Freedoms, while Democrats are about Empathy for people.
You must have both! Even as a human being, if you have no Empathy you can become a cruel sociopath.
If you do not have Strength, you become a hysterical crybaby.
