I have this gameplay trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axqdmSsaBtI&t=12s

I am not sure your comment refers to the in-game economy in the video-game or the video-game business model itself.

The video-game business model is pretty simple: sell on PC for a one-time cost of around $15-25 through channels like Steam.

Thanks for the feedback. You are right getting an economy working will be hard and slow, and it will become quite heavily subsidised for some time. Sharing the infrastructure you build (space tourists...) could certainly work, and to some extent sending some raw materials to orbits, which is cheaper to do from the Moon than from Earth.

I understand your comment on the price point, this is a topic of endless debates, I aligned myself on the price of similar indie games for the genre. Maybe you are right, but you are the first person mentioning it is too expensive.

I am not sure how precious helium is. The fact we put it in party balloons would hint at helium being relatively cheap (though those party balloons are typically 10$ each in France).

On the other hand, I understand that it is a significant cost driver for industry.

I would hate to have significant holdings in a crypto coin and see it progressively go out of fashion because there are coler alternatives elsewhere.

Why I enjoy frank opinions that challenge the current consensus, I think the post only concerns 'men with very important positions'.

More white collar positions are not very important. So while I would agree a CEO taking 6 months off is hard (some have to do it for health reason), a typical engineer or middle manager may very well do so.

I have also heard several people knowing Tim Ferris mentioning he does not work at all 4 hours a week.

I actually lost 20 pounds since the start of COVID. This is due to me eating a small home-prepared sandwich for lunch instead of a full meal on most week days.

I also eat a fruit every morning at breakfast.

At night, I have a full balanced meal but with no special restrictions. I sometimes enjoy fried stuff, good cakes.

In my experience, replacing a full meal by something small is a good way to lose weight.

I think a common mistake is to think civilization are wiped-off in a cinematic event like the Fall of Constantinople.

Actually, what happens often is that a civilization degrades slowly over decades and centuries. It was once a leading power, but it is now a medium power with far less relevance. One good example is Spain going through a long decline after being probably the leading world power.

In an era of nuclear weapons, you do not take cities anymore, but you could see countries that do not share the West ideology become more powerful, and progressively, develop all the new technology and have the most influence.
