One of the most misunderstood facts is that the US was founded with abundance, whereas it was in fact built from scratch.

At the time of founding, Britain was the greatest nation governing the Seven Seas, while China was at its height with total land dominance in the East under the Qianlong Emperor.

The usable land of the US at founding was much smaller than that of either nation. The 13 colonies spanned 430K square miles, while Britain governed 2.5M square miles and China owned 5M square miles of territory.

The trade and economic volume of the 13 colonies was minuscule, consisting mostly of raw materials that barely registered on the charts. Combined, the 13 colonies produced $4B GDP, while Britain made $350B and China $2.5T in today’s dollars.

In other words, the 13 colonies were less than 0.2% of the world economy and much smaller than that of many African nations today.

The wealth of the US was not inherited but earned through survival and competition against stronger nations. Most people who came here brought nothing but empty hands yet built an empire from the ground.

This is something that people who inherit great resources from parents and ancestors cannot understand—like most nations in Europe and Asia, where wealth was dominated by inheritance, not earned. They mistakenly believe what we have now is a privilege. The trees we enjoy today were planted and nourished with sweat and blood by previous generations so that we could cut the wood for warmth.

Be a tree planter, not a wood chopper. Plant your tree today. 🌱

Rooftop solar is obviously hugely beneficial for meeting peak summer air conditioning demand.

Having generation on site means you’re not only saving on generation capacity, but also transmission and distribution.

Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

log scaling increases. spikey RSI sigmoids. compute shortage. algo leaps. compute collapse. humanoids scale to 10B. BCI scales to 10B. log scaling moves to space. bio accelerationism. self-replicating robot space economies. the dissolution of mercury. bishop rings. wormholes.
