Wow, I knew he was old, but had no idea he wasn't well. Aftermarket movement of BRK.A/BRK.B seems to be muted, so I guess right now investors aren't too worried about the future of Berkshire.

A legend of the business and investing world.

Acquired podcast got to do one of (possible the) last interviews with him a month ago for anyone looking for recent content from him: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/charlie-munger

Also Stripe Press is releasing just next week a book (technically re-release of an older book) on his collected thoughts: https://press.stripe.com/poor-charlies-almanack

I have a Munger quote on my corkboard behind my monitor, which I read every so often and try to embody:

> Feeling like a victim is a perfectly disastrous way to go through life... self-pity is not going to improve the situation... If you just take the attitude that, however bad it is in any way, it’s always your fault and you just fix it as best you can, I think that works

Everybody should read his speech, "The Psychology of Human Misjudgment": https://fs.blog/great-talks/psychology-human-misjudgment/

It's a fantastic read that can really help you understand why supposedly rational masses of people can end up being so wrong. In the tech world, it ends up being more relevant than one would like it to be.
