The 3 Ideas That Will Shape The Next 10 Years – Naval Ravikant

💡 Top 3 Underestimated Forces of the Next Decade

1. The State of Modern Medicine is Still Primitive

• Naval critiques our overreliance on surgery and lack of foundational biological understanding.

• “Biology is still in a very sorry state…we’re in the Stone Age.”

• Points to regulatory constraints limiting life-saving experimentation.

• Praises self-experimenters like Brian Johnson but emphasizes simplicity: “Just eat liver, man.”

2. Drones Will Dominate the Future of Warfare

• Envisions war with “autonomous bullets” – self-guided, AI-powered drones.

• “There will be no tanks, no infantry… just drones versus drones.”

• Compares this shift to the obsolescence of aircraft carriers.

3. GLP-1 Drugs: The Most Disruptive Since Antibiotics

• Calls GLP-1s (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy) “miracle drugs” with wide-ranging benefits:

• Weight loss, addiction treatment, cancer reduction, aging reversal.

• Highlights inequality: Americans pay thousands, others access them for far less.

• Predicts massive political and economic implications: “Whichever politician tackles this will be richly rewarded.”

• Declares: “The body positivity movement is dead.” These drugs are reshaping the health narrative.

🧠 Key Takeaways

“Obesity is the #1 cause of malnutrition globally. Twice as many people are obese than starving.”

• Biology revolution is overdue – our understanding lags behind other sciences.

• Tech in warfare will render traditional military assets obsolete.

• GLP-1s are a paradigm shift – affecting everything from obesity to opioid addiction.
