This sounds great but will be counterproductive to any progress EU wishes to have in digital technology. India have UPI and while that also on the surface sounds great it's filled with all sorts of wacky rules for implementation (on th

its not about interesting but about adoption. Crypto is interesting to anyone who spend time getting into it. Not for the same reasons and that is why the adoption looks different, but its there and that is really what matters.

We don't need a planet with infinite resources. We live in a universe with almost infinite potential. All that is required is more knowledge for how to turn seemingly useless materials (such as coal, oil, uranium and gas) into useful r

"but population control is ultimately the only long-term solution." I was responding to the above from parent comment.

Population control is one of the most antihuman positions you can have IMO. The likes of Paul Erlich and anti-human philosophies who sees humans as a cancer and who sterilized millions of Indians and south americans is one of the biggest at

99.9% of all species ever existed are extinct today. The world have been through 5 mass extinctions. In other world, nature doesn't care about us what so ever. Humans are the only species who have ever had a chance to be the exception

Yes thats still not the same as a A realist, A pessimist or AN optimist.

Create a small simple product/service, try everything you know and read about to see if you can make it successful. If you succeeds try and sell the company sell or expand the business. If not move on to another product, rinse and repe

I don't pit it as an antonym. I am simply responding to your claim that it's realism that moves things forward :) Realists are navigators, optimists are starters, pessimists are never-starters :) You need bias to move things forwa

“As it is” is always temporary. Optimists change “what is”. Not all are going to succeed but some are and thats what moves us forward :)

Realists just accept things as they are. Optimist believe they can change the future in ways realists can't. Optimism is the mental beacon for any progress not realism.

With the trenches I mean get into into energy :) That's the #1 area to solve for any future civilization and we are going to need a hell of a lot more than what wind, solar or even fossil fuel can deliver in the future. Energy-density

I think the answer (at least to me) is obvious. Maybe because I think about climate a little different than most, who knows. Climate and nature have always been a problem for humans, and will always be a problem for humans. The good news is

Problems are solved by optimists. Dont be pessimistic, we will solve problems as they arise. If you are truly worries about your future the best way is to get into the trenches.

NFTs are here to stay, it's a classic short-term over-appreciation and long-term under-appreciation. Art is only a small subset of what it's going to be used as. NFT's is a protocol for distributed exchange of digital assets

Ethereum doesn't have an energy problem, energy have an Ethereum problem. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they are working on becoming more effective but the idea that we should judge new technology purely on it's en

Getting ideas is easy. Getting ideas other people want to spend money or time on is something quite different. Even if you get an amazing idea, the chances of it being a good business are small. In fact, some of the best businesses didn’t s

There is, as often its the cost of improving and saving our lives. The idea that we can both live in a modern world with all the benefits and have no impact on nature is ignoring the cold hard facts. Nature didn't give us a safe and fr

You say it's not pragmatic yet history seems to disagree with you. Humans create resources we don't just find them. 300 years from now we are either harvesting the universe or we are just sitting ducks waiting for some giant catac
