- A problem We are currently making Earth look like Mars faster than we are making Mars look like Earth
- Lords who have been knighted by the twitter verification wand are upset that the proles will be able to buy status
- There is more risk in not taking enough risk than people commonly understand
- It’s okay if Bill Gates is short Tesla. It only has an average ESG rating and is “misaligned” with climate goals. So long as he is long an equivalent amount of Shell Oil—higher ESG rated than Tesla—then there is no hypocrisy at all. All good.
- Replying to @wintonARKTesla scores very poorly on this metric. Their cars are *way* too safe. Clearly don’t take emissions reduction seriously. Makes sense that ESG portfolios avoid them.
- There is value in an audacious mission. Even when the end-goal is not directly capitalizable. The tech required to master Mars is so badass that upon development it turns out to be remarkably valuable on Earth, not least because no other team has the determination to follow that
Wow, they really don’t get it. Mars is critical to the long-term survival of consciousness. Also, I’m not going to ask any venture capitalists for money. I realize that it makes no sense as an investment. That’s why I’m gathering resources. - The room temperature superconductor in Avatar, Unobtainium, cost $40,000,000 per refined kg This week we learned that we might be able to synthesize an equivalently performative kg from $24 of phosphorus, $1.30 of lead, and $.20 of copper

- How gene editing and gene therapy companies could exceed $1 trillion in market value over the next 5 years up from $160 billion today
- When you’re about to become a parent everyone tells you that it goes so fast. And then you become a parent, and you blink… And you find someone who is about to become a parent, so you can try to convince them.More than 40% of your parenting time has elapsed by the time your kid enters kindergarten. Once they get into middle school it is 2/3rds gone.
