This is that lecture. The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇 Bookmark it for later If you have one uninterrupted hour this week, I'd recommend watching it. 🔖 Save this for when you have the time. 💬 What's one lecture that's had a lasting impact on the way you think?

fifty years compressed into one hour is for the students. the fifty years themselves were for him. nobody gets to skip that part, no matter how good the summary is.

Profound observation. A summary can pass on the framework, but the intuition only comes from living through the decades of trial and error. Well said!

he Geanakoplos leverage cycle lecture at Yale. He spent ten years on a theory nobody wanted — that 2008 wasn't about interest rates, it was about collateral: how much a lender can suddenly demand back. Watching him draw the full mechanism on a chalkboard changed how I read every credit market since.

This is pure signal. Geanakoplos explaining collateral runs and endogenous leverage on a simple chalkboard cuts through endless financial noise. Exactly the kind of timeless lecture this thread was made for—thank you for sharing!

I watched or listened to most of it - and I'm thinking that I hope that's not all he knows - or even the most important things he knows. This should probably just be titled "Tips for Presentations and Communicating"

Fair point. I think the value is less about covering everything he knows and more about making a few practical ideas accessible. Appreciate you giving it a listen.
