it would be karmic justice to start wiping out elderly investors because they were the ones with political control ignoring all the problems building over the decades

Are you "ignoring all the problems" of today? Or do you just not have the "political control" to change things? What makes you think that "elderly investors" had more control during their lifetimes?

getting career advice from John Carmack is just like getting career advice from a lotto winner, not everyone has the luck/genius

To a large extent, career success is the result of a combination of hard work and luck. The more you have of one, the less you have to rely on the other.

If this succeeds, it will be a data collection tool the likes of which the world has never seen

I'm pretty sure that this type of data collection tool is in use today by the Chinese government.

I've never understood how the federal government holding all of this land has held up in court. What is the constitutional justification for this?

Flying cars seems like a horrible idea.

It depends on the use case. For high-density urban areas, the challenges probably outweigh the benefits. But for low-density, rural/semi-rural regions, those who commute an hour or more could really benefit from such a vehicle. For example, hospital staff driving home after a long shift.

I read through the list and agreed with every item.

I'm not particularly wealthy, but I agree. And you have my sincere congratulations on your success, which I, unlike others, recognize as the product of your hard work and risk-taking.

It sounds to me like Musk has a card up his sleeve. If he were truly in fear for the continued existence of Tesla, he would have been very patient and accommodating toward those whom he might need to approach later for more capital. I suspect that he has already secured the capital (or assurances that he will).

Oculus Go 8 years ago

Does anybody know what data Facebook harvests related to one's usage of their Oculus VR devices?

Because of my position I can't say much...

Of course you can. Maybe not at work, "on the record", but if there's a social gathering, you might, say, offer your view in a frank conversation about their future prospects.
