Isn't this exactly what Peter Zeihan said was going to happen? I think it is.

I also appreciate the marvelous rhythm of the modern world, more miracles per square foot than the life of any saint.

I was unpacking and yesterday from a move and saw a copy of his "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" book and remembered he time he answered a fan email I sent to him with the simple reply "I…

this is such a good idea for a movie

I firmly believe the only way to stop our culture from obsessing over the wrong things (politics, climate emergency, vaccines) is to give it something even worse to focus on - ente…

b/c the 'writing' part is at the end of the process of gathering the news.

I have noticed the same kind of degradation -- pair-programming with GPT4 used to feel like I was working with one of the smartest people in the world, and now it's really uneven.

The spontaneous toxic content stuff is a little alarming, but probably in the future there will be gpt-Ns that have their core training data filtered so all the insane reddit comme…

My advice is to read "Spiritual Laws" by Emerson - with an eye towards trying to discover your own "calling". This doesn't have to lead to another project, but will get you to star…

this would be a really bad idea -- b/c if you shoot too much into the atmosphere - you'd basically have an ice age - right? It's just scary b/c we don't have a "QA" planet to test …

thank you - I thought someone might make a comment like this, which is why I added the qualifier ("weather which led to the dust-bowl") to distinguish it from the human factors - b…

I'm sorry, but this is utterly unhinged. There is no evidence of weather patterns of any kind, much less indications that we are about to face "extreme-weather". What caused the we…

Sorry about your friend. I bought some books yesterday from Powells - a good bit more expensive - and I won't get them for 2 weeks - but I feel good about it - and will give me mor…
