What Tom warns against

Things Tom says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.

Claude

"They searched Bing and they were looking for the Claude desktop app. A sponsored ad comes up. The link points to claude.ai, obviously, as you would expect. So your alarm bells aren't going off. Nothing feels fishy, but when you click on it, it landed on this public cloud artifact which was user-generated."

All 97 of Tom's picks

• Claude Uses and recommends it 12 episodes "There are times where I am convinced I have something right, and I will be working with Claude and Claude will keep pushing back... I'm actually going to go look into the facts that it's presenting and it has on numerous occasions convinced me... If you hold yourself accountable to being able to win the argument by looking at the facts and all of that, it is an unbelievable thought partner." +248 others
• One Piece Uses and recommends it 6 episodes "Favorite arc is Enies Lobby. How could anybody have another favorite arc than that? Especially when you get Water 7 followed by Enies Lobby. Those two back-to-back are just beyond emotionally powerful. I'm really, really incredible — what makes One Piece one of the greatest pieces of IP ever." Only Tom
• Bitcoin Uses and recommends it 4 episodes "Bitcoin would be the most stable, let's put that in air quotes, way to do that, to fight and resist at every conceivable turn, the surveillance state... This is my single largest position." +16 others
• Eurodollar University Uses and recommends it 4 episodes "We watch Euro Dollar University around here quite a bit and there is an idea that they hit on a lot which I think is very important, which is the lowering of rates is the Fed responding to the economy." Only Tom
• ChatGPT Uses and recommends it 2 episodes "I just tried the pro version a couple days ago. It's huge. Like the pro version is wild and I forced it into pro mode and it will take like 15 20 minutes to think about something but then the answer it gives you is like holy shit it's spectacular." +159 others
• Cold showers Uses and recommends it "I made a promise to myself that I was going to do 30 days of cold showers, and by the end I ended up doing 13 months of cold showers... But I said I was going to do it, and I did it. It teaches you something about yourself. It really does wire your brain in a unique way." +1 other
• The Gulag Archipelago Recommends it 3 episodes "This is why people absolutely must read the Gulag Archipelago, which is where you watch a guy go from not thinking any of this is really a big deal to one of his friends rats him out over something that he says privately and he spends a very long time in the gulags and he writes like 1,200 pages of a man who's basically screaming into the page, absolutely eviscerating that type of authoritarian rule." Only Tom
• Short-term treasuries Uses it 2 episodes "I'm trying to diversify away from the Magnificent 7. I'm trying to diversify away from the AI bet. I'm trying to make sure that I have optionality if things go down, meaning that I've got more in just cash, short-term treasuries, things like that." +1 other
• KPIs Uses and recommends it "What we use are KPIs. So everybody knows what their KPI is. They know exactly what the metric is that they need to hit to be held accountable. We make sure that they have what they need in order to hit that KPI. But we tried OKRs for a while and we found that OKRs, for the size of company that we were at, were not working as well for us." Only Tom
• Audible Uses it 2 episodes "I probably won't read it unless you can show me that there's energy behind it. This is always the key. And then I never read books physically in my hand. It's always got to be Audible. So, get some heat behind it. Put it on Audible." +5 others
• Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom Uses it 2 episodes "This goes back to one of the things I was really hot on when we first started going live, this idea from the book The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom. Historically, the book talks about this thing called the iron law of oligarchy, that you're always going to be ruled by a small number of people... And when I read that book I was like, uh-oh, we're now living in a world where you cannot put the genie back in the bottle." Only Tom
• Claude Code Uses and recommends it "I was having a problem with something we needed to do in Kaizen, and it was costing me hours. It was costing our development team hours every time we wanted to make a change. And so, I just grabbed Claude Code, and I said, 'Hey, here's my problem. Here's what I want. Build this for me.' And in hours it built it. You can refine it in minutes. It is legitimately breathtaking." +109 others
• Cognitive behavioral therapy Recommends it 3 episodes "You need to introduce something from cognitive behavioral therapy called a pattern interrupt. A pattern interrupt is where they start feeling anxiety and they say, 'Nope, stop. I'm not going to do that.' It works. It doesn't work some of the time. It works all of the time, every single time." +4 others
• Unreal Engine Uses it 2 episodes "So now that I have an underlying understanding of parent and child nodes inside of Unreal Engine, I can now go edit that or create new relationships." +1 other
• G.I. Joe Uses and recommends it "G.I. Joe literally taught me over and over and over about being a hero and about not leaving somebody behind. To this day, if it's Thunder and Lightning, I know not to go in the water because of G.I. Joe. They did this whole thing about how it hits the water and it can electrocute you." Only Tom
• Quest Chips Uses and recommends it "And then I eat, shout out to Quest chips, man. That's like my big treat every day. Still have Quest chips. Those are delicious." Only Tom
• Cold plunge Uses and recommends it "This is hard, this sucks — the gym, this is hard, this sucks — cold plunging, it's hard, it sucks. But I said I was going to do it, and I did it. It teaches you something about yourself." +11 others
• Strong Convictions Loosely Held Uses and recommends it "The way that I think in general is to plant a flag so that you understand your own thinking and then immediately update your thinking as you get new information... I'm saying things with, what do they say? Strong convictions loosely held. I'm not only open to changing my mind, I'm interested in changing my mind." Only Tom
• Italian-style shaken coffee Uses and recommends it "The only reason I stopped was I discovered Italian style coffee. I shake that for like two minutes. It's just a big mouth of foam. It's amazing over ice. Oh god, so good. Shout out to the Italians." Only Tom
• Toy Story Uses and recommends it "Did you end up watching Toy Story? I did, of course, and it's amazing... Look, the first three is a trilogy. Enjoy it. It's breathtaking." Only Tom
• Hollywood Stock Exchange Uses and recommends it "There was this thing called the Hollywood Stock Exchange. And for people like myself that were obsessed with getting into Hollywood, it was a great way to see if you could recognize talent, what movies were going to do well. They started you with fake money in the game... I loved it. It ended up disappearing. But I thought it was really a cool way to find out if you actually knew what you were talking about." Only Tom
• Kindle Uses and recommends it "I just like a physical book. It's the same thing, like I have a Kindle. I love my Kindle. I read a ton of books on Kindle. But if I can get a physical book and go to a bookstore, I'll do that." +10 others
• Pitting AIs against each other Uses and recommends it "One of the easy ways is to pit different AIs against each other and have them be antagonistic. I do this all the time show prepping... One of the things I do all the time is: what are the sharpest minds that disagree with this? What do they say?" Only Tom
• The Rational Optimist Recommends it 2 episodes "There's a phenomenal book that I've mentioned several times called The Rational Optimist. And The Rational Optimist said it does not make sense to look back at 80,000 years or 100,000 years or 200,000 years... of human innovation leading to just everything improving, but tomorrow this is all going to fall off a cliff." +1 other
• Arcane Uses and recommends it "I ended up meeting the guy that was, I think he was the showrunner... Boy oh boy am I impressed... So anyway, it was a long way of saying that that show was phenomenal. I have watched it and I'm certainly well aware of the psychological nature of that." Only Tom
• Ordinary Men Recommends it 2 episodes "Read the book Ordinary Men. The fact that he was able to say, 'Look, this is what I believe and I'm going to stick by this' — that's all any of us can hope when we go into the legal system." Only Tom
• Minecraft Recommends it 2 episodes "The DNA of Kaizen, the video game that I'm building, is Minecraft. Because Minecraft to me is the thing where you have to be most self-directed. You've got to set a goal for yourself, work almost in a boring way to go get your resources, think long-term planning, and build towards that. It was a very conscious decision in terms of making something that could actually elongate people's attention span." Only Tom
• Determined Recommends it 2 episodes "The book Determined by Robert Sapolsky literally, as far as I can tell, just shuts down every conceivable angle — religious, spiritual, quantum, all of it just all shut down. Read the book. Absolutely extraordinary. We do not have free will." Only Tom
• Andrei Jikh YouTube Channel Recommends it 2 episodes "There's an incredible video by a guy, he's a YouTuber named Andrei Jikh. Highly encourage you guys to subscribe to him. I think he's phenomenal." Only Tom
• S&P 500 Recommends it 2 episodes "From the second you were born, you were getting money put into — instead of like social security, you were getting it put into something like the S&P 500. And that's just compounding in the background, growing and growing. There has never been a 20-year period where somebody wasn't better off than where they started." +14 others
• Cash and cash equivalents Uses and recommends it "Personally, I am slowly rebalancing away from a heavier expectation of continued growth and I'm increasing my cash and cash equivalents to maintain my optionality." Only Tom
• Tesla Uses and recommends it "I have ridden in a Tesla that took me like five or six miles up into the Hollywood Hills without the driver ever once touching the steering wheel. I could not believe it. So I was like, whoa, this stuff is getting good. It's going to keep getting better." +24 others
• ChatGPT Pro Uses and recommends it "Then the very next day I experienced ChatGPT Pro and was completely blown away." +1 other
• Hightail Uses and recommends it "I've played Hightail. Hightail is fantastic. There are things that they do that I think will always make it a shadow of Minecraft." Only Tom
• Truflation Uses and recommends it "I think Truflation is the most accurate real time read of actual prices that people are paying. And Truflation says that inflation is dropping like a rock." Only Tom
• Entourage Uses it "Lisa and I are re-watching the show Entourage. Hilarious watching it in a new social context." Only Tom
• Godzilla Minus One Recommends it "If you guys haven't seen Godzilla Minus One, I beg of you go watch that movie... If you know the history of Japan after World War II, you will understand how profound this movie is. That movie is Japan coming to an empowering understanding of their role in World War II... Check that movie out. It is an absolute banger. Right now I'm putting it in my top 10 all-time movies, and it's a monster movie." +1 other
• Lead magnet Recommends it "You would do a test first. Don't build the product. I teach people to do it using a lead magnet. So something that solves a different part of the problem or solves it in a different way... That would be how you would find, with the least amount of capital expense upfront, the least amount of time, the answer to the question: is there a potential product market fit?" Only Tom
• Sugar-free diet Uses it "I eat eggs a lot, chicken a lot, beef a lot. I eat vegetables, so like jicama. I don't eat carrots because carrots spike my blood sugar massively... I do it for my own sake because I have a high inflammation response so it makes my joints hurt." Only Tom
• 48 Laws of Power Recommends it "If you've got somebody that has more seniority than you and a fragile ego, you need to be careful. Read The 48 Laws of Power. I think that book gets at a human truth of corporations, even though it's not really written technically about corporations, but I think that it really understands something. So, even if you need to play the game in such a way that you need to get the elder on your side so that they don't feel that you're a threat so that you can still shine. I think that's very good advice." +2 others
• What If My Behavior Were Universal Uses it "I like to play a game as an entrepreneur called 'what if my behavior were universal?' And then you get a picture of, if everyone is like me, search is going to fall off of a cliff. Ad revenue is going to fall off of a cliff." Only Tom
• Shark Tank Recommends it "Shark Tank does something very different and it's brilliant what they've done... That show is awesome and every aspiring entrepreneur should watch it to understand about how to negotiate, to understand about deal structure. That show is legitimately cool and they do an amazing service to the business community to be able to see how those kind of negotiations go in this sort of speed dating way." +2 others
• Amazon Uses it "You can get cheap shoes on Amazon. Now, are they maybe blowing my knees out? That's entirely possible. I think people expect me to dress expensively because I could if I wanted to. And I buy my nine-dollar shades off Amazon." +11 others
• After Effects Uses it "I spent four months learning After Effects all on my own. And I loved that journey." Only Tom
• Discord Uses it "If you try to put something through and it's really short and it still blocks it, then definitely let us know. But yeah, if you just message — they can drop a Discord message and I'll go look. I have it on my phone." +4 others
• Diaphragmatic Breathing Recommends it "Taking control of your breath is one of the most life-changing things that you can do. Learning to breathe from your diaphragm is utterly fascinating. What you're doing is a mechanical process that has stimulatory effects in the body — it allows us to reduce our excited state, to move out of the sympathetic nervous system fight and flight to the parasympathetic nervous system where it's rest and digest. You can mechanically move yourself from one to the other simply by breathing from your diaphragm." +2 others
• Gold Uses it "I own Bitcoin. I own gold. I own more Bitcoin than gold by a lot because it's so much easier to custody. Actually trying to hold gold at your house — yikes. Trusting somebody else with my gold — yikes, as the US has a longstanding history of confiscating your gold." +7 others
• Tidal Uses it "I use Tidal instead of Apple Music or Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon." Only Tom
• Hugging Face Uses it "HuggingFace is where the world's AI models and training data sets live. I've spent a lot of time there as a part of what we're doing on Kaizen so that we can really get a singular output." +2 others
• Genshin Impact Uses it "If you guys haven't played, if you're a gamer and you haven't played Genshin Impact, it is pretty dope. I went into a hard loop on Genshin. Now, it's a gacha game, so it's got mechanics that are very similar to gambling, so I wouldn't let your kids play it." Only Tom
• Whole food diet Recommends it "I eat a whole food diet whenever humanly possible. I find when I'm taking in artificial ingredients, highly processed food, artificial sweeteners — over time that begins to build up. The more I just eat religiously whole foods, meaning you would recognize it from what it looked like out in the wild, that's the kind of stuff I eat and that's going to account for probably 90% of my calories." +1 other
• Apple Vision Pro Uses it "The Apple Vision Pro is a great example — you put it on, it completely boggles your mind. They had this dinosaur thing and literally you feel like the dinosaur is going to step on you. It was so cool. But the real thing is it's just so heavy and the quality is just low enough that it doesn't feel like a good trade-off once the novelty has worn off." +3 others
• Claude Fable Uses it "I've played with Fable a little bit. Some of the stuff that I've seen other people do with it from a game world generation standpoint are startling in terms of how fast you can output stuff." +12 others
• Tokyo Junkie Uses it "the one I'm reading? Uh Tokyo Junkie. The way that they were able to convert the culture from riers, prostitution stuff to like a shared we're on the same page" Only Tom
• Troy Camp Uses it "It wasn't through the big brother organization. It was through something called Troy Camp, but I ended up big brothering for this kid for ages. Ended up being eight and a half years and was extraordinarily close with him." Only Tom
• Vitamin D Uses it "Since I got skin cancer, I've been super obviously hesitant to be out in the sun, but I know I need vitamin D. So, it's like I've got a supplement" +21 others
• Open-source AI Uses it "I spent my Christmas vacation learning how to do where you control the open-source AI so that you can control every aspect of the image" Only Tom
• Principles Uses it "At Impact Theory, we have something called Principles. This is an idea that we got from Ray Dalio. They turned it into software and it allows us to tell each other whatever we need to tell each other in documented form." +1 other
• Codex Uses it "I built an app with Codex this weekend. That's their version of cloud coding. It was very fun." +97 others
• Grok Uses it "I went to Grok and Grok was like, 'Yeah, no problem. Here's all the stats.' So, it's very interesting" +35 others
• Manga Uses it "I collect manga. Manga costs like $9, $12. Those kind of things, they don't have to be expensive to be something that really bring you joy." Only Tom
• Ethereum Uses it "Bitcoin I'm already massively deployed. ETH I'm already massively deployed but I might start picking up some more there." +1 other
• Embracing Defeat Recommends it "I got that from a different book which was called Embracing Defeat, which is about post World War II Japan and Tokyo. So yeah, if you want to know about that, read Embracing Defeat. Absolutely incredible." Only Tom
• Fleekazoid's GTA 6 Breakdown Recommends it "Do you guys know who Fleekazoid is? Oh my god, he's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. I don't think we could ever play his stuff on here, but he did a whole GTA 6 breakdown that is very funny. I encourage anybody with an edgy sense of humor to watch his breakdown of GTA 6." Only Tom
• Not Stolen Recommends it "There's an incredible book. I'm in the middle of reading it right now, so the punchline I suppose could all fall apart, but the book is called Not Stolen. And it is about how Americans treated Native Americans, or how Europeans, more truthfully, treated Native Americans when they came here. It is a far more complicated story than we were told." Only Tom
• Flight simulator training Recommends it "Here's the thing. If you're going to get a pilot's license, spend a lot of time in the simulations. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot." Only Tom
• 2001: A Space Odyssey Recommends it "If you guys have never seen the movie 2001, it is a banger. It's slow and by today's standards probably obscenely slow. It was slow when it came out, but it really is good." Only Tom
• Vibe coding Recommends it "It is beyond extraordinary what AI can do with code. If you guys have never tried to vibe code something, it is shocking to see how far that's come even in the last 18 months." +3 others
• Multisig Recommends it "You could take me and wrench attack me. I wouldn't be able to help you. I can't by myself access my crypto. So you've got to multisig all that." Only Tom
• Succession Recommends it "If you guys haven't watched Succession, that gives you a glimpse into what it actually looks like to have shareholders, them flying out to meet with you, to try to pressure you, to do things." Only Tom
• Conversations with Coleman Recommends it "I love it. I vouch for all of it." Only Tom
• Long-term diversified investing Recommends it "People have got to be playing the long game... You have to be sensible, diversified, not be in on debt, not have money that you need to get back in less than 20 years, just to keep it simple." Only Tom
• Artemis Recommends it "Any sci-fi fans out there, if you've ever read any books that are set on Mars or the moon, for me anyway, they're thrilling. In fact, the guy that wrote Project Hail Mary... Andy Weir... also wrote a book called Artemis, if I remember correctly, about a moon colony. By his own admission, the book didn't do as well, but I actually really liked it. I thought it was a great book." Only Tom
• Plague Inc. Recommends it "Have you ever played Plague Inc.? It is a very fun game from my childhood where basically you make a virus and then you have to figure out how to transmit it, how to bypass labs. It's so fun. Apparently they've run it on COVID. It's obviously still a silly game and it doesn't tell you everything, but yeah, just something very interesting. I recommend it." Only Tom
• Tailor Brands Recommends it "Shout out to Taylor Brands, man. I love those guys. Not officially sponsoring us today, but we have such a long partnership with those guys, and I really love what they're doing. I want to show you guys love by reminding you there is somebody that can take that work off your hands." Only Tom
• Intermittent Fasting Recommends it "Skipping breakfast is amazing. I encourage you guys to do it very frequently. To give you an idea, I haven't eaten since yesterday at 2 p.m. and it's now 8:15 a.m. So by the time I eat, I'll have gone 17-18 hours without eating. Intermittent fasting will change your relationship to hunger. It is absolutely amazing. Do more of it." +9 others
• Palworld Recommends it "Look at a company like Pocket Pair that made basically like Pokémon Evolved in Palworld and they did all the things you guys wanted them to do and you rewarded them so tremendously. Remember, Palworld is an indie game. It performs like a AAA game. Convince me otherwise. It is so good. But you've got to support them." Only Tom
• Patrick Boyle YouTube Channel Recommends it "My man, Patrick Boyle. You guys, if you haven't subscribed to him, do. You will love it. He's absolutely fantastic. He puts out a ton of great content." Only Tom
• GTA 6 Recommends it "What they've done from a technical perspective is breathtaking. I am so impressed. This game is going to be mind-boggling. People are going to get lost in it. I don't play much GTA. I'm going to play the hell out of this." Only Tom
• OBF Recommends it "I didn't know this guy before. OBF. Go check out your boy OBF. OBF on YouTube. Obfyt. That was dope, man. Great video. Very, very important." Only Tom
• Maxinomics Recommends it "That was great, man. Really great video. Definitely somebody I'm subscribing to now. You guys should do the same. Make sure that we link to that in the description." Only Tom
• Infographics Show Recommends it "This is coming to us, by the way, from the Infographics Show, somebody I'm newly familiar with. Very interesting. By all means, please support the channels that we feature here on the Reacts. These guys put together some incredible stuff." Only Tom
• Steve Keen's YouTube Channel Recommends it "I doubt this will be the last video that we do with Steve Keen. We were trying to get him on the show. He is really expanding my connective tissue with the cause and effect of the economy. I think this is going to be very important to my entire economic worldview." Only Tom
• Blade Runner 2049 Recommends it "Blade Runner 2049 is extraordinary. It's a visual feast. I definitely encourage people to watch it." Only Tom
• Goat Academy Recommends it "Felix and Friends, who we were reacting to today, he runs the Goat Academy. Check those guys out. I'm very grateful. I don't have any relationship with him. I've never talked to him ever in my life. Felix, if you happen to see this, thank you, man, for putting together another quality video. I've seen a ton of your stuff." Only Tom
• Diversification Recommends it "While diversification isn't sexy, the deeper I dive into this moment in economic history, the more I become convinced that being broadly allocated with a keen focus on downside protections is more important than ever." +2 others
• Death Note Recommends it "If you guys have never seen the anime Death Note, watch it. It is so good. You've got the power, you can kill anybody you want." Only Tom
• Philip DeFranco Recommends it "My big three outside of Impact Theory that I would recommend would be Philip DeFranco, BBC, and AP. They're all pretty straight down the middle. I think he's a great show for people to watch. I think he is pretty middle of the road." Only Tom

• Project Hail Mary Recommends it "That book was so good that I am very optimistic about this movie. The book was phenomenal. If you at all like sci-fi, it's so good. That book was written so well, man. Cheers to Andy Weir. He is absolutely brilliant." +2 others
• UFC Recommends it "If you don't watch the UFC, watch the UFC. That is what it looks like when two people are locked in a cage and they are able to do as much damage to the other person as they can do." Only Tom
• Rise and Kill First Recommends it "If you really want to have your eyes open to Israel, read the book Rise and Kill First. I think that's the exact title, but somebody check me." Only Tom
• 1984 Recommends it "Read 1984. Read 1984. This was a guy in the 60s who was like, 'Oh, I see where this goes.' And once the government gets a hold of surveillance on the level that we have now, they're going to clamp down thought crimes." +1 other
• Atlas Shrugged Recommends it "And by the way, they will just not produce. Read Atlas Shrugged." +1 other
• Attack on Titan Recommends it "Attack on Titan is so good. It's not the greatest anime, but it shows the horrors of war in a way that is breathtaking. You watch a cartoon and you'll be like, 'Oh, damn.'" Only Tom
• Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage Recommends it "The book is called Endurance, I believe. And it is so good when you read how long these guys were trapped. You got to read it. That one will make you go, 'Oh, I've never done anything hard in my life.'" Only Tom
• 1929 Recommends it "If you want to understand more about this, there is an exceptional book and Drew is going to get me the author on the show, book's called 1929 and it talks about what led up to the stock market crash." +2 others
• Claude Warns against "They searched Bing and they were looking for the Claude desktop app. A sponsored ad comes up. The link points to claude.ai, obviously, as you would expect. So your alarm bells aren't going off. Nothing feels fishy, but when you click on it, it landed on this public cloud artifact which was user-generated." 248 recommend it
• Gemini Warns against "People are not angry enough about Google's Gemini. I will just tell you that right now. That thing will lie to your face by omission if nothing else. That is wild. Beware." 73 recommend it
• Grok Warns against "Right now I think Grok is sorry Grok, but you're the fucking AI. Like it is not the good one." 35 recommend it

• OKRs Warns against "We tried OKRs for a while and we found that OKRs, for the size of company that we were at and how much of our core business was getting the same thing done well at ever-increasing performance, OKRs, which are far better at handling new things, were not working as well for us." 2 recommend it
• Ozempic Warns against "Ozempic just dials down desire. And so now good luck getting anything you want. Learn to point your desires at things that uplift your life. Do not try to numb out and not want anything. That is not how the human animal is wired." 2 recommend it

• Project Lazarus Warns against "We just found out that an insider at Meta had said like three years ago, hey, we're working on this thing called Project Lazarus. It is designed to allow if somebody dies, Meta will be able to take over their account, as an AI, act like that person and keep commenting and interacting with the digital world in the way that the other person still did. And they were saying, you know, at first we thought this was very interesting. Now it's getting like super creepy and very Black Mirror-y." No one recommends it
• Rotten Tomatoes Warns against "Critics have disgraced themselves year after year, movie after movie. So, I'm going to wait until we get the audience score on this one. When I see a 95, to me that says critics tend to be wildly left-leaning." No one recommends it

• Sugar-Free Monster Warns against "There's something in sugar-free Monster that was the biggest culprit for me. I was drinking three full big cans of that a day. I still love them — God, they're so good — but alas, I had to cut that out." No one recommends it
