20 thoughts I keep repeating from episode to episode
Collected from every ToTheMoon transcript since April 2024: 170 recordings I took part in, 88 of them in the last 12 months. The list includes only what I say myself, directly and many times over. Each thought comes with my verbatim quotes and timecodes, a note on whether it has come true, and a separate priority for people and for business.
Trends are the thoughts Alexander Volchek repeats in the episodes most often: advice, forecasts and principles, counted across every transcript.
Twenty thoughts
By default the order is by the number of episodes in the last 12 months where I say this thought directly. The buttons let you reorder the list by importance for people or for business.
The bar and the number show in how many episodes in the last 12 months I say this thought directly (out of 88). The number's colour is the status. The dots are the priority: people · business.
Where to start
The steps go in order: from what the rest won’t work without, to what can be done later. Each step leads to its own thought below.
What else comes up all the time
Assessments of companies, the market, geopolitics and risks. I say these all the time, but they are not advice, so they did not make the main list. The number shows the episodes in the last 12 months where I say it directly.
How the list was made
The source is every recording on the ToTheMoon channel from April 2024 to September 2026. Transcripts of 162 recordings were taken from besolid.com. Another 8 recordings that are not on the site (No. 111, 113–118 and the extra video of 20 May 2026) were taken from the transcription archive. Speaker attribution there is rougher, so they are included in the count, but no quotes from them are given. For No. 123 and No. 125 there are no transcripts anywhere, and in No. 112 it is not marked who is speaking. Episodes and videos without Alexander—6 episodes by Anna Volchek and Ilnar Shafigullin and 5 videos by Ilnar—were not counted.
