I think there are a number of noteworthy accomplishments from EM tagged projects.
I pick on him because he's a very annoying form of full of shit. He's disrespectful to his audience because he knows that 95% of what he says is complete BS but he forces them to parse it out. Creates a fuckin' burden on everyone else. Different than basic liars who can't even help themselves and lie reliably about any and all things.
With Elon we get the extra special situation where if you call out his patently false 95%, the fucking nut hanging simps go - "look at this 5% thing! that was true. Genius!"
Hint: Ain't nobody living on mars cities in 20 years or whatever the fuck he says these days when the Adderall gets mixed with sativa.
Hold it. There's a thread about this?Last edited by CarlMega; 06-16-2022 at 09:44 PM.

I got that list from a New Zealand science website. The reason I'm posting it is because of something Lyn Alden said (on What Bitcoin Did) that I just can't shake. She said that throughout history, whenever we use a new form of energy, the previously prevalent one does not decline, meaning we still have the same amount of wood burning fires as we ever did.
I read that half of the world's population is located in east Asia and they do not have the best conditions for wind and solar, but they have a lot of coal. I really thought humans would stop burning coal altogether eventually, but I guess not?Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

In the first 3 minutes he says the vast majority of traditional investors lose money in the markets and only a small group of professionals make money.
Huh I woulda thought people invested in order to make money for later in life/retirement. I guess we’re all just giving our money away despite the returns.
