don't worry, he's starting with physics and will invent economics from first principles on his own because he's a genius

- bogwog 2y agoYou gotta admit, building a desktop recording app is only a few short hops away from building our civilization.
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoCrazy idea: work for DOGE but secretly just do whatever the most educated (and compassionate) people on the topic say to do. Don’t let Elon know you’re poisoning his well with good ideas.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoI have serious doubts that this guy would identify anyone I consider "the most educated or compassionate" for any topic, though.
- ETH_start 2y agoA lot of people consider Elon to be highly compassionate (in the balanced sense of taking into consideration second-order effects) and educated (in the non-credentialled sense of being informed). So comments like your are little more than flamebait.
- entropicdrifter 2y ago>A lot of people consider Elon to be highly compassionate (in the balanced sense of taking into consideration second-order effects) I suppose if you're into redefining the common meaning of the word, anyone could be considered highly compassionate.
- ETH_start 2y agoHis actions could reasonably be characterized as motivated for deep care for others, and that includes not just his work on popularizing electric cars and giving humanity better internet connectivity via StarLink, but also his political activism. Of course of all of this is subjective, which is all the more reason to not pretend your view of compassion is the objective irrefutable truth.
- entropicdrifter 2y agoMy "view of compassion" is the literal definition of the word, yours is deciding that a robber baron with sufficiently sci-fi justifications for union-busting is somehow a compassionate person.
- ETH_start 2y agoThe entire premise of your position is that 1. Successful entrepreneurs are exploiting people, i.e. are robber barons, and 2. being for union-enforced labor relations is compassion, both of which are highly contentious claims that are in no way linked to the conventional definition of "compassion". You're trying to gaslight people with this nonsense, which is typical.

- lowmagnet 2y agowhen this went from calling coworkers "NPCs" to "working" for DOGE, to "studying physics" and I'm just going to leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJI6qIqURA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmJI6qIqURA
- Pxtl 2y agoCame here to post this and am happy to see that's already been done.
- remh 2y agoTo be honest, this video was quite cringe, 50min of repeating the same thing over and over, repeating her opinion, saying ridiculous unsubstantiated things such as: “musk bought twitter because he was annoyed people were saying he was not a physicist “. Let’s do better and post better content.
- ydnaclementine 2y agoshe's not wrong though. it's exactly like one the comments says: "It's the intellectual equivalent of the wannabe tough guy staple: "I almost joined the military.""
- entropicdrifter 2y agoShe's a physicist, sharing her perspective on how weird it feels that several billionaires seem intent on posing as physicists
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoI think it was a very good video.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoShouldn't he start with math for the most valuable results? https://xkcd.com/435/ https://xkcd.com/435/
- Arn_Thor 2y agoThose people are so exhausting. I work with one.
- postsantum 2y agoNo, he is about to invest in longevity research, like all other cool non-NPC billionaires do
