Finally something mildly interesting coming from Bezos. I guess he is bored out of his mind at this stage.

- wpasc 5y agoI agree, if capitalism and the free market is to produce individuals who have fuck-you-money^2 then it would be great if they did interesting/innovative things that the market as a collective may pass on as being too risky and/or researchers can't get the funding for bc there's not enough money or the grant seems too risky.

- merpnderp 5y agoIf Bezos is paying for it, then by definition the market is investing in it. Unless you think Bezos's money exists somehow outside of the market. When I invest in an ice cream cone, that ice cream is about to be destroyed and my investment will soon be down the toilet, but I was certainly participating in the market. If Bezos's reactor blows up, it will be little bits of the free market raining down. And if it powers the world with endless green energy, there will be little green energy free market electrons pumped across the world.
