Those exemptions are British law, passed by Parliament, upheld by British courts. Accommodating belief within the rule of law isn’t importing “foreign thoughts,” it’s the tolerance that’s been part of this country for centuries.
Whether any religion is compatible with modern life, whether we’d be better off moving to a more enlightened way of living altogether is a separate discussion, and a fair one to have. But Rupert’s tone of intimidation and hatred isn’t in any way British.
@RupertLowe10 I am against all religion, but your proposition is un-British at its core. The British way of life is about the rule of law, freedom of religion, and tolerance.
The aesthetic isn’t dead!! it’s just no longer the only one. Ferrari looks to be opening a second front - a design language aimed at tech wealth rather than traditional petrolheads. The classic lines will keep coming for the purists. Think 911 loyalists vs. electric Cayenne buyers - Porsche didn’t kill one to serve the other, and Ferrari won’t either. We’re just not used to seeing this coming from Ferrari.
We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕
Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.
Starcloud just raised $170,000,000 at a $1.1 billion valuation led by Benchmark & EQT because investors are finally realising there is only one solution to the AI energy crisis.
Fortuitously for the 5th Episode of Forecast 2050 I sat down with my friend, @Starcloud_ CEO @PhilipJohnston to discuss how this future plays out.
I wrote the biggest check out of Nebular in my first year of the firm back in December 2023 to lead Starcloud's pre-seed. It’s been quite the ride since then. @ezrafeilden & @AdiOltean also the heros and visionaries creating this category of space data centres.
On the Forecast we speak about Philip’s ambitions - and his greatest concerns - for the next 25 years.
We discuss:
Why the Space GPU Skeptics are Wrong
The 2050 Space Economy: Asteroid Mining, Moon Resorts, and Mars as the Next America

The Hard Problem of Consciousness is Crackable
Avoiding a Calamitous Event in the Near Future

“Timing is very important. You need to pick hard problems to solve and be ambitious with them. But you've also got to pick the right time when the world and the context that you're in is the right kind of environment for those ideas to flourish.”
In his official Nobel Prize interview, Demis Hassabis discussed how his aspirations as a young gaming programmer were ahead of their time.

We waste too much time worrying about short term hype. Hyper-fixating on the news cycle isn’t going to fix the biggest problems facing society in the coming decades.
The world needs more long term thinking.
So we are launching Forecast 2050: a series of conversations with the thinkers, founders, and investors shaping the next 25 years.
Thank you to @tylercowen, Scott Aaronson, @noor_siddiqui_, @soundboy, @matthewclifford, @devonzuegel, @CJHandmer, @MalcolmRifkind, Yanai Yedvab, @viswacolluru, @pablolubroth, and @PhilipJohnston for joining us.
First episode with Tyler drops tomorrow. Stay tuned.
It would also be timely to remind the world about Troika Laundromat that he was infamously heading - in order to avoid sanction and rebuild his image, he needed a new “hero” move, hence his actions in the illegal separatist movement and financing of terroirst groups. Justice was served in the end.

While you slept last night, completely still in your bed, our galaxy moved millions of kilometers through the cosmos. You woke up in the same room, on the same planet, yet unimaginably far from where you were the night before.
The Milky Way is not drifting quietly through the universe. It is racing through space at around 600 kilometers per second, carrying billions of stars, planets, and everything on them along for the ride.
It is a good reminder that even when life feels motionless, you are always in motion.
