Possibly, hard to tell. Corporate profits are at record highs[0], so while it might be difficult to justify Tesla P/E ratio, you can't say no one cares about profits anymore. These companies are flush with cash and buying up anyon

Yep, I agree with your last point especially. I try to read the thing right away now but I don't save something unless it's necessary. It's a mental tax that I never end up paying off.

Well yeah but the struggle is still those with incredible amounts of money locked away in static capital. We can't rightly liquidate capital assets can we?

that's a good point, and seems very likely given recent history.

I mean his other three points are actually pretty good: 1. don't compete 2. live cheap 3. invest lots of young programmers dont think that proactively and thus miss out on a lot of money.

I assume he means cognition without classical computation, but that's non-controversial already-- we mostly agree (minus some holdouts) that processing units are also memory units. Whatever else he could mean is not clear to me. Also,

Reddit is in general hot garbage, but sub-communities have been wonderful if you can find them. Reminds me a lot of the old message board communities.

Less depressing is that Ray Monk put together a Spotify playlist of Wittgenstein's favorite music, so he must still enjoy it a little bit. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4v540LW145G9MpAQSkmVWK
