When asked why someone climbed Mount Everest, their answer was "because it was there. Making stuff remotely is my solution to the problem of "talking animals, both real and fictional". CBC radio played a podcast called "Dinner on Mars" about the agricultural challenges that will eventually allow us to make food on Mars and other materials like ( Read more... )

The "10 commandments" in the Bible includes "do not lie" but it is actually "do not bear false witness"... A very specific kind of lie that turns the legal system into a weapon. People are wondering why Elon Musk sided with Donald Trump... Three things have been identified: 1) "lawfare" of many different groups trying to harm Elon and his companies ( Read more... )

Elon says his product isn't cars, his product is the factory that makes cars because the actual ( Read more... )

I told someone that "socialism is giving money to the poor and Marxism is taking money from the rich... Different goals" they retorted that they are the same goals.
