Over the past few weeks, my 4 y.o. somehow taught himself to read by playing Minecraft. I had previously been unsuccessful at teaching him to read syllables & words, beyond just memorizing the alphabet (which he has known for a while)
The only problem in education is motivation.
@elonmusk Problem is... "man's wants tend always to outstrip his ability to supply them.... [Therefore] it will be necessary to have an agency for determining relative amounts of men's needs." Which will eventually lead to "absolutism and slavery"

@daiyitastic @timparrique My worry re. energy abundance is waste and heat generation. Immagine free energy. What stops you from having the heat and AC on, at the same time? Both would generate heat. Also, abundant energy would only exacerbate extraction and production.
