00:00Although Buffett is known for fantastic returns, I think the returns on the impact of his charitable
00:04giving at an earlier age would have outperformed his returns in the market. I think that impact
00:09would be larger. And so I think that the way he's doing it, while it being generous, is suboptimal.
00:15I don't think it's the most fulfilling path that one could have. What is the return on an investment
00:20of an education of a person? Or what is the return on saving a life from starving today
00:23versus waiting in the future to save, you know, 10 more lives, right? How empowering is that?
00:28My accumulation for Buffett would have started much, much earlier than where he is right now.
00:34His best friend, Charlie, I saw one interview where he says, I love going fishing and now I can't because
00:40I can't lift the tuna out of the ocean. And I thought that was a sad thing, but you know,
00:44a stark reminder that certain activities belong in certain periods of your life.
