Within our lifetimes, the elderly will be the largest single population cohort. In fact, we will be them.

Outside of singularity-driven abundance, or really massive mass immigration of young workers, society will be unable to permit full "retirement" for most people.

Reality.

if this is true i’d be surprised if it weren’t just guys losing fupa fat

The ephemeralized "trash world" of the 20th century was simply a developmental stage, much like the "satanic factories" of the 19th.

By doing everything the cheapest/lightest/fastest way, we did achieve certain goals.

But It will be transcended soon, everyone is tired of it.

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had Tesla, we had SpaceX, we had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could have shut your mouth, been Tony Stark, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no! You just had to blow it up. You, and your pride and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.

What a day. Searched for and found wife's family in ancestral village in mountains of Croatia. Drove 2.5 hrs up and asked random woman on road about the two family names. She said to ask this other guy, who told us yep they're still around. Then found group of guys drinking beer at the town store. Showed them family pictures in that village from 50 years ago. One guy pulls out phone. We hear him say, You're old and i figured you'd know who they were talking about. Guy on other end say drive up the mountain, so we do. Turns out to be wife's cousin!

They welcome us in and pour šljivovica. We give them jam and liqueur from the apple tree the ancestors planted when they came to MN from this village and the woman starts to cry. She tells us she made a lot of food today in the hopes someone would come to visit. And we did. She put out a pot of cabbage/saurkraut, a plate of cold roast pork, homemade bread and boiled potatoes and beer. And then coffee. They looked at all the pictures of rhe village from 50 years ago and knew who everyone was and remembered wife's priest uncle. They have a lovely but very steep hillside farm they've worked their whole life. Lived a happy slow life never wanting for anything. Chickens and sheep and plums and vegetables. They say they lived their lives digging. Can't imagine anything different.

This is why we came here. This is why we travel. Today was a gift from God.

The ride to orbit was much smoother than I had anticipated. Apart from the final minute before SECO, I barely felt any G-forces—it honestly felt like just another flight.

I had imagined it would feel like being in an elevator that suddenly drops, but that sensation never came. If I hadn’t set free Tyler, the polar bear zero-gravity indicator, I might not have realized we were already weightless. I think being tightly strapped into our seat buckets made the transition less noticeable.

The first few hours in microgravity weren’t exactly comfortable. Space motion sickness hit all of us—we felt nauseous and ended up vomiting a couple of times. It felt different from motion sickness in a car or at sea. You could still read on your iPad without making it worse. But even a small sip of water could upset your stomach and trigger vomiting.

Rabea spent some time on the ham radio, making contact with Berlin. No one asked opening the cupola on the first day—we were all focused on managing the motion sickness. We had a movie night watching our own launch and went to sleep a bit earlier than scheduled. We all slept really well.

By the second morning, I felt completely refreshed. The trace of motion sickness is all gone. We had breakfast, took a few X-ray images, and opened the cupola three minutes after midnight UTC—right above the South Pole.

Stay tuned.

Feel like I’m living in a different world from the people who use AI for entertainment. Like I’m watching people devolve into a lower form of intelligence.

None of these shitty fucking demo reels involve dialogue and you know why? Because the jig would be up instantly and send you balls deep into the uncanny valley. Go on, add dialogue you shitheads.
