I will watch at least 3-5times cause don’t wanna miss anything from his mouth

There is another element to all of that. Large complex systems tend to have a lot of built-in inertia as they essentially recursively recreate themselves through time to maintain internal stability. They also tend to accumulate & institutionalize some errors, which can become dogmas at some point with very few realizing where that or the other practice came from in the first place. Being inside those systems and trying to change them from within can indeed be rather suffocating and they are notoriously difficult to change. Woke culture being a distraction perhaps fits into that, but then it's probably not even a distraction, but a reaction aimed at releasing and funneling all that supressed energy that's trapped inside the system (and we're talking about young people who tend to have a lot of that). Anyway, great discussion. Also, Manhattan project succeeded wildly in part because it didn't have those built-in deeple institutionalized customs and rules, that being a new insitutution. Well, in addition to an incredible accumulation of the brightest minds of that era, virtually unlimited resources and the ambitious goals that they were chasing, strict discipline notwithstanding, because I'm sure it was exhilarating for everyone involed to play around with things that it would take years to get funding for in academia

Corporate investment in R&D down, funding of universities down, government investment in R&D down. Cost of education way up. Well that was tough. But don't worry, China is racing ahead.

GOOD!!

The current wave of regulatory capture on software will stop the bits and bytes revolution in its track.

I heard Peter hates the main stream media. I’d love to talk to this guy. MSM is 🚮

Tech progress has progressed faster and faster, and is still accelerating.

Haha... Yeah, it's a bit slow now... Mr Thiel is confused perhaps? 😂 Disappointed in life, the emptiness of isolation?

Wasn’t this guy just exposed as a federal agent?
