| 0:00.0 | Hey, young and profitors, welcome back to our YAHPSNAC's New Year special where we're |
| 0:04.8 | taking a look at past conversations from the year and we're seeing what secrets to |
| 0:09.6 | profiting in life we can uncover from some of the brightest minds in the world. |
| 0:14.0 | As you guys may know, the last question that I ask on all my interviews is what is your secret |
| 0:18.9 | to profiting in life? And I don't send any pre-prep to my guests. So this question really puts |
| 0:24.7 | them on the spot and I get their true gut reaction. And sometimes their responses related to their |

| 1:26.8 | René de Cart is often called the first modern philosopher and I think many of you have heard |
| 1:31.9 | his famous saying, I think therefore I am. René is credited for laying the groundwork for how we |
| 1:38.4 | conceptualize our sense of self. But what if there's an entirely different way to think about |
| 1:43.5 | personal identity, a non-western philosophy that rejects this emphasis on individualism? |
| 1:50.3 | The Western philosophy says, I think therefore I am, right? Cogato ergo-sum, I think |
| 1:56.3 | therefore I am. But there is an African philosophy called Ubuntu, which basically says, no, |
