Creating a life that you enjoy and are proud of is 100% up to you. I know that upsets some people because we live in an anti-accountability culture and it's easy to blame eveybody except yourself.
But it's up to you. Nobody else can do it for you.
One of the infinity useful things Scott Adams did was write How To Lose At Everything And Still Win Big
"What if I used music to brainwash myself and others with useful ideas and messages?" I mused, after reading it, close to a decade ago
Not long after, MEANINGWAVE was born
MEANINGWAVE is a musical psychotechnology I developed with the aim of helping listeners to achieve their potential in this lifetime.
I transmute speech and the written word into songs that people can listen to over and over all day long, deliberately brainwashing themselves with useful ideas and wisdom, using the most powerful delivery method known to man: Music
The catalogue of over 600 songs created since 2017 has received 100s of millions of streams, and hundreds of thousands of people listen to the music every month.
This includes three albums built around the wisdom of Scott Adams himself, the most recent of which, December 25's ALMOST ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN TODAY, is already approaching 10 million streams
People write to me every day telling me how this music has changed their lives - helped them get through tragedy, get off drugs, start businesses, navigate parenthood, find love, and improve their lives and those around them.
Scott Adams' effect on this realm is incalculable. But one thing is for certain - he has been about as Useful as a human could possibly hope to be, and his life is proof, if ever it were needed:
One Man Can Change The World.
🚨Thorium Reactors: China Just Did What Everyone Else Talked About for 50 Years
China has just crossed a line the rest of the world never managed to step over. Their experimental thorium molten salt reactor has successfully converted thorium into uranium-233 and sustained nuclear fission inside a working system.
This matters more than most people realize. Thorium has always been the nuclear fuel that sounded great in theory and died in practice. It is more abundant than uranium. It produces less long lived waste. It is also harder to weaponize. The physics have been understood since the Cold War, but the problem was always execution, materials, corrosion and chemistry. Control.
China solved enough of those problems to make the fuel cycle work. The reactor in question is small, producing only two megawatts so it's not powering cities or feeding the grid, but that is not the point. This was a proof of capability, not a commercial rollout.
They demonstrated something no other country has publicly demonstrated. Breeding uranium-233 from thorium inside a molten salt reactor and using it to sustain fission. That single step unlocks the entire thorium fuel cycle.
They did it with a reactor that operates at atmospheric pressure, uses liquid fuel, and can be designed to shut itself down passively if things go wrong. No danger of high pressure steam explosions, no fuel rods to melt and no water cooling dependency.
China has large domestic thorium reserves. Uranium supply chains are global, fragile, and politically exposed. Thorium changes that equation. It also changes waste profiles and long term fuel availability. In theory, it allows centuries of base load power from material that was previously treated as a curiosity.
The United States, Europe, and others studied molten salt reactors decades ago and walked away. Not because they were impossible, but because conventional uranium reactors were already entrenched, regulated, and profitable. Thorium was disruptive before disruption was fashionable.
China stayed with it and built materials science programs around it. They accepted slow progress. They ran experiments without promising headlines, and now they are the only country that can point to an operating thorium molten salt reactor that actually does what the textbooks said it should.
This does not mean commercial thorium power is around the corner. Scaling this is hard and so is licensing it. Operating molten salt systems for decades is hard. But the breakthrough is real.
If the technology that could redefine nuclear safety, fuel independence, and long term energy stability just matured outside the West, what else are we assuming is impossible simply because we stopped trying?
