Just because PRC didn't collapse doesn't mean PRC perform well. On the contrary, the current strength of PRC is probably a reversion to mean, what China would be like if it wasn't so mismanaged, and yet decades late from wher

Munger is just one man. His experience isn't everything. Ditto for Musk. I think of Musk as a specialist. He has glaring weakness in the social realm that he never really done much to resolve. That's why he flailing around with Tw

I held a more complex view of Musk and I pretty much devour at least two book on him. He will probably still be the most influential and the most important entrepreneur in our lifetime, and I mean that mostly in a technological sense. But h

At some point you will hit diminishing return. That's a good time to start exploring other endeavors and add to your skillset. It's not that specialization is junk or good, it is that we get complacent. For example, I dabbled with

Based on this comment alone, Elon Musk's politics should have nothing to do with their rejection of SpaceX launches.

I am merely saying that predicting trend out to a century or more is too far out. Your claim is that this trend doesn't just stay the same, that it might reverse. But it's so much worse than it merely not reversing... the trend b

Population growth/degrowth is contextual. You cannot extrapolate trend and expect the condition to never change. There is no reason to expect that the population will die out in a few century, only that we are in a currently bad situat

Pollution has more to do with high intensity resource usage and unpriced negative externality than the # of people who are alive. For example, meat is much more energy intense because you require farmland to not only feed people, but also t

The Library of Alexandria wasn't that significant and likely wasn't destroyed in one cataclysmic event, but rather centuries of neglect.

Exactly how is the economy going to function if 20% of people can't afford anything if they have no way to trade for goods and services?

The internet is important in my formative year, taught me a lot, including how to program. You could say that my intellect is formed by the internet firehose. I would like to say that my experience is largely positive, but it's hard to

I don't use the word "content" that way. What you call "content" I call internet slops.

I don't have a problem with Mr. Beast doing charity as a business model. Better to reward good behaviors over demonstration of private virtue. It doesn't matter if Mr. Beast is a genuinely nice or good person if he's actually

This focus on advertising junk food to children is ignoring the fact that it's a system wide issue, not limited to just children. Our food system as a whole is definitely helping to kill us. Never mind the facts that most advertising i

A quick victory over Russia is crucial to the integrity of the Russian state or otherwise instability will continue to increase. I am already hearing about gangs harassing funerals and hospitals. With oligarch forming PMCs, we might even se

One place that I see this happening is the Ukraine/Russia conflict where just because there hasn't been a nuclear exchange yet, people assume that there won't be, and keep pushing the line on acceptable escalation (on both s

Multipolarity is a more dangerous world, as we have seen Russia asserts itself at the expense of Ukraine.

There's a power asymmetry between large and small firms and it doesn't favor small firms in term of patents and IP. IP and patents protect big firms from competition. Patents doesn't guarantee you business success. All it doe

We were only temporarily good at shipbuilding in the world wars. The United States just don't have much of an aspiration to be world class in building ships. Given that we have the largest navy in the world, it would behooves us to gro

There seems to be so much distinction between immigrants and citizens. Citizens can be 'smoochers' too, but you don't see anyone exiling them from their home countries. As for integration, I don't see why people who are

Generally people who preferred niche apps like OpenSCAD preferred not to be restricted in how they can use the app.

I think if you want to do complex things in OpenSCAD, you have to use someone's library or write your own. For example, I wrote centering code that basically work for arbitrary length, which then become a frequently used part of the co
