This show is brought to you by Policy Genius, a marketplace for finding and buying insurance. Life insurance makes me think of Marcus Aurelius and the Stoics. I, of course, think about the Roman Empire many times a day. Marcus Aurelius is one of the great emperors and also one of the great philosophers that came from the long history of the Roman Empire.

A quote from Marcus Aurelius, dwell on the beauty of life, watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. He, like many Stoics, emphasized the importance of living deeply each moment that we get in this too short life, and to meditate on the shortness, the finiteness of it, on death. That one day there will come a moment when we take our last breath.

140.8 - 172.591 Lex Fridman

Thinking about this moment clarifies just what matters. Thinking about life insurance is yet another way for me to think about the fact that this thing ends. And you should contemplate the implications of that. The pragmatic and the philosophical. With PolicyGenius, you can find life insurance policies that start at just $292 per year for $1 million of coverage.

173.291 - 193.411 Lex Fridman

Head to PolicyGenius.com or click the link in the description to get your free life insurance quotes and see how much you could save. That's PolicyGenius.com. This show is also brought to you by Masterclass. $10 a month gets you an all-access pass to watch courses from the best people in the world in their respective disciplines.

194.572 - 219.389 Lex Fridman

There's so many incredible options, many of which I've watched, many of which I haven't watched but can't wait to watch. For example, one I haven't watched yet that's in my queue is Mathematical Thinking by Terence Tao. This is one of the greatest living mathematicians in the world. And him philosophizing about the big picture of mathematics, just incredibly valuable.

220.43 - 247.728 Lex Fridman

Especially given the fact that he really hasn't done anything like this anywhere else. For me as a person that loves math, just, I can't, I can't wait. But the problem is there's so many other options. That's the thing I really recommend is to focus and really dedicate yourself to a particular masterclass. And as long as you're getting value from it, keep going until the end. Don't skip around.
