Were in the eye of the revelations hurricane that started in 2020.

I give us 2 years of hope/wishful thinking that this is all going to result in a happy world and strong global and state economies.

Then. When that turns out to not happen, trump will get re-elected shortly after, and then it’s just have a pint at the windchester time.

I was seriously hoping for a perfect storm and one world government under pogroms to solve the degeneracy. And a real cutie icon leading it all, at least 29 years old but looking more like 21 with the goal of running her empire for 250 years before stepping down and joining the post singularity sims.

Elon.

Once he starts mining asteroids making more money than anyone who has ever made in history he will start giving it away to people in the form of a basic income with his own crypto called elon coin, or some meme name like "el coino [You must be logged in to view images.

I know a lot of people hate him with good reason, but this is why I like him even if it's just a joke right now.

The guy knows how to truly be funny, chill, at a level that transcends angry barbarism.

I kinda am feeling the Anne Ryand line of thinking, that 1 man(or woman!) can truely stop the motor of the world.

I mean look at Steve jobs, bill gates, Rockefeller, edison, ford, just go downs the line, everything that is big was always driven by 1 crazy person everyone loved or hated.

Without a crackpot megalomaniac, all you get is tesla (the real tesla) and by that I mean, great ideas, but lack of practical applications. You need those entrepreneurs who are both creative, and insane, and understand the practicality of the market.

Right now, who are these guy's? Bezos, Zuck, and Elon? Seriously? its no contest, elon is going to be sitting on a golden throne in 10 years.

He's got zero competition.

It takes access to information and bribes for licensing fees to innovate.

We are sitting on a endless well of information and technology. U r pretty smart and know a lot more than me.

What angered and upset me the last four years was watching stupid people piss this potential away on a quest for cultural supremacy and junk food. Cheaper cigarettes and "safety". And to milk tort and liability to the point even lawyerjews balk. The left does that shit too to some degree.

Why do you think China is suddenly sending probes and starting high energy experiments.

It's a race towards efficiency and cheap rapid production at this point.

China is also less bound by our patent and copywrite and liability legislation.

Elon will play nice with our Military and federals right up until he can just do whatever he wants with whoever. If he's smart.

There's also the matter of digging that rare earth stuff up. But Elon is good there I think unless the USA goes completely north Korea
