@BTCWitcher@ArthurMacwaters@elonmusk Here is Elon's recent post from Sep 30:
My guess for real GDP growth next year is >50% higher than 2026, so >3.3%

Our clinical trial participants have now used their Neuralink implants for over 50,000 hours, building one of the largest datasets of intracortical neural activity ever.
We used it to pretrain a foundation model for BCI: self-supervised neural encoders that turn noisy, drifting spikes into stable representations.
Some initial results:
• Decoders that keep working for weeks instead of days. For some users, calibration dropped from 10 min/day to 10 min/week
• Teleporting cursors that jump straight to the intended target
• A new cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second (exceeding the performance of most able-bodied people)
We’re just getting started. Future directions include pooling data across participants, one-shot (or zero-shot) calibration, and an API for the motor cortex.

@astronomer_zero Thanks for taking the time to share your reasoning Astro. Very helpful. Keep doing your thing. You are consistent and that is worth a lot in this space.
@elonmusk@dhaval_shroff Have to admit, sticking to your guns on this was the right move but one that I thought you might lose the battle on. Well done!
⚡️What’s collapsing is society’s archetypal balance.
The feminine principle, in both women and men, is the connective tissue of civilization. It’s what keeps life coherent: empathy, nurturing, intuition, belonging, rhythm, care, cyclical renewal. When that energy gets displaced, mechanized, or mocked, civilization starts to fracture.
Since the Industrial Revolution, the world has run on a hyper-masculine algorithm - linear growth, domination over nature, competition, quantification, mechanistic order. That worked for a few centuries because it produced material abundance. But it came at a spiritual cost: it amputated the feminine from the collective psyche. Feminism arose not as rebellion against men, but as a subconscious revolt of the feminine principle itself, demanding reintegration.
But when that revolt entered the machine, it got digitized. Feminine liberation was rebranded as “be more productive, more independent, more optimized.” In other words: imitate the masculine energy that broke the system in the first place. The result was double alienation: women lost the external security of traditional community, and then the internal grounding of true feminine expression. Men, meanwhile, lost their purpose as protectors and creators, reduced to utility and output.
So what the data really measures - antidepressant use, loneliness, collapsing fertility - is the exhaustion of the human polarity that makes civilization regenerate. It’s not the fall of feminism. It’s the metabolic burnout of the human species.
The next layer below that: meaning itself has been automated. The digital sphere runs on dopamine, not devotion. Social media feeds simulate connection while destroying intimacy. Work simulates contribution while emptying purpose. Politics simulates morality while obscuring truth. Every feminine function of culture - weaving, tending, harmonizing, intuiting - has been replaced by algorithmic noise.
That’s why the numbers are so bleak. Not because women are failing. Because the feminine field of reality itself has been silenced. When it can’t breathe, life becomes an optimization game and even freedom becomes sterile.
If this continues, what you get isn’t collapse in the dramatic sense, it’s entropy. Civilization dissolves not with riots or wars, but with numbness. People medicated, disconnected, scrolling, existing without narrative. The lights stay on, the markets run, but the human signal fades.
The only way out isn’t political or economic, it’s mythic. The feminine principle has to return, not as a social movement but as a metaphysical correction. Real healing won’t come from more equality metrics or productivity hacks. It will come when the sacred re-enters the ordinary - when beauty, love, and care stop being side effects of efficiency and become the center of design again.
In that sense, the suffering you see in those statistics isn’t random, it’s initiation.
It’s the pain of a species being forced to remember what it lost: wholeness.
