Had to be said. Being openly cynical is optimistic right? Since it might effect positive change?

This. I’m surprised 3D printing hasn’t been employed more aggressively to cut down the complexity of production & sourcing. I’d imagine MM3D being used to create electro active polymer pumps acting in series to create the displacements (~.5L), and parts like pressure sensors designed in a simple albeit more mechanical fashion.

Props to Elon tho for taking on the task!

My take so far (with limited research) is that Peterson is trying to evoke debate on the issues in a centrist fashion reminiscent of Plato and his cave. The ‘shapes’ of traditional societal structures are being bound to new normals on the ‘wall’ of the human condition; solving this jig-saw of a problem necessitates open debate & negotiation.

Caste systems will never go away until the asymmetric advantage they endow to a majority is honestly weighed against the hidden costs of society manifesting self-fulfilling prophecies in the minority. Which way should the slippery slope slide? Should an individual’s means to succeed be the rule or an exception. That’s freedom, thats’s bravery in my eyes.

I think bitcoin’s fixed-limit and deterministic transactions makes it a uniquely closed & conserved system (regardless of deflation and lost wallets). The discrepancies in valuation among exchanges & localities seem to show a relativistic (to borrow a physics term) quality. [I’m however not really into bitcoin or an economist though]

Ha... I guess I can be a bit terse. Just think of the “turbulence” in navier-stokes as valuation fluctuations. Without the realworld dampening effects of regulation, slow tranactions, and managed markets — volatility along the lines of the infinite incongruities posed in the article are possible. ( note: Im not referring to a pendactic ‘infinite’ wrt a blockchain).

All the more reason to do your christmas shopping early. Lol. I take the total crypto market cap more seriously though.

...maybe check if it's "convergence insufficiency".

It sucks that the company probably has some decent IP that can change the world, but is (by my outside opinion) so top heavy business-wise that it'll just eventually end up locked away by competitors via some forced sale.

If I had to pivot a miniature lab that fails because of small sample size; I'd think of just making it invivo.
