Will scaling work? 3 years ago

I am very curious on what you mentioned, but not able to comprehend. Can you ELI5? Are you saying fossil fuel based industrial revolution is not as significant as it was or we could have directly jumped to a higher level fuel?

What do you mean when you say S&P has crashed already? You mean the constituent companies are tanking/no-growth? Are investors/institutions liquidating their positions in those companies? Trying to understand the situation. TIA!

Hi Steve, bit of a tangent, I stumbled upon your blog from intro section and went down the rabbit hole. Wanted to ask if you have any recommendations on documentaries. TIA!

Thanks for sharing this, I came across the same material in a different format (either slides or may be a video couple of years back, can't exactly remember). What stuck to me is "If you are not working on an important problem, your work is not important". I tried to take a positive spin from this statement by considering whatever work I am currently doing is important enough to solve an important problem but it's really hard to convince yourself after some time when it is clearly not. Needless to say, I am still looking for that important problem.

This is something similar to how Ebay changed their logo color. I think it was here on HN couple of days back: instead of a drastic change in background color slowly changing by one gradient kept it unnoticeable.
