There isn't a revolution underway. Everyone switching to an electric personal automoblie won't save us from anything. We'll just be destroying the planet at a marginally slower rate. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too.

- Fricken 8y agoReason is slave to the passions. Musk sells a mirage that you can be reasonable without ever having to examine your passions. Who doesn't love driving? We just want to be told a lullabye that driving can still be the right thing to do. Musk is there for you. Musk and his little man.

Man would have never reached the moon, and the atoms wouldn't have been split. Big progress largely happens because of irrationality. You have to be a little stupid and stubborn to do attempt a few things. Intelligent rational people are too clever for somethings in this world.
