Satoshi Nakamoto is a great example of a 1000x engineer (or a bunch of 1000x engineers) with an impact measured in trillions of USD, but the article may be right that he wouldn't have been able to have that impact inside a big financial organization, as his engineering is disruptive.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoIf you measure his impact in turns of extra CO2 emitted you might take a different view.
- xiphias2 5y agoIsn't that true for any trillion dollar industry? Industries use energy whether you like it or not, and it's unfair to make such a big deal from one just because it's adopted in a different pattern than others. Agriculture, mining, electricity, transportation, defence...all have CO2 emissions, and it's extremely hard to get rid of it.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoYes, except all those industries produce something useful.
