Becareful of regulatory capture tho. If the one with AI headstart can capture a huge swath of value, said value can be used to lobby and bribe legislators or the executives of the government. There's no good way to put the AI genie bac

Potentially, wouldn't star systems have planets where their orbital planes are at positions that we cannot observe transit event from? In fact, most planets?

Scrutiny is fine. But how does saying "He's bipolar and just want attention" or "Second coming of Trump" add anything to the conversation? His intention was very clear to anyone that paid attention. Jordan Peterson

I am a big Bitcoin guy. But I cringe everytime someone yell 'blockchain' as if that somehow equals to decentralization automatically BitTorrent is almost as decentralized as it gets. It has no blockchain. I don't have all the

There's no coin that have gained ground against Bitcoin after their first cycle ATH against Bitcoin. Not even Ethereum. You basically have to gamble on a coin that have never been seen in a Bull market. Otherwise Bitcoin is always the

From my understanding SBF was lobbying AGAINST DeFi. And lobbying for as many crypto as possible to be considered commodities instead of securities. He was definitely not lobbying for more oversights in centralized industry players. To be f

Full OFAC compliance. Cantillionism. These possibilities excites me. Things that Bitcoin cannot and will never be able to do.

Power x access x scale. Power and access was relatively low before but scale was high. Imagine if we dial the former 2 up also.

Exactly. Viewing status acquisition as worthless assumes that people do not want social attachment and that social standing within groups or society doesn't matter. I'd argue they matter more, and wealth is actually just the mean

Me creating a self-driving car will take away revenue from drivers. However the rest of society will gain much more than the loss that the drivers suffers. On net humanity is better off. This is true when the computer replaced secretaries,

The hardest part of social status is respect of others in high social standing. Looks gets you the opposite sex, and having access, perhaps even sharing that circle, gains you respect. Nothing else really matters in the status game except r

Building companies are not necessarily zero sum tho. You can win over your competition by delivering value. The value delivered to society generally more than cover of the loss your competition encounters. On net its a positive sum game tha

But friends or romantic partner is actually what's important in life. Wealth is just a number on a ledger. We can debate whether friends gained through status or partners gained through status are ideal friends or ideal partners. But i

Falcon Heavy was delayed for 8 years. Launching another one and simultaneously landing 3 rockets there after. Hard stuff takes time. People with no patience and perseverance never gets big stuff done. Musk is not the same.

SpaceX has no public equities and has no problem attracting talent. You guys are really thinking Musk is some bozos that have never done anything in his life. Its quite incredible. Last week 4 astronauts went to ISS on his rocket and the fi

They are called children for a reason. It's adult's responsibility to look out for them because they are not grown up enough to fend for themselves. We adults have been failing them miserably and we should be ashamed of ourselves.
