About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of the phrase 'this time is different' in investing and the importance of recognizing historical patterns.

“This time is different.” It’s one of the most common, and potentially dangerous phrases in investing. Every generation believes the rules have changed as new technology emerges and yesterday’s impossible becomes today’s normal. In this episode, we explore why history keeps rhyming, how our definition of “normal” quietly shifts over time, and why recognizing those changes may be far more valuable than trying to predict the future.
