@COPIER @VividProwess This “map” does not have any basis in history.

@VividProwess In reality, they don’t care about Gaza or anything else. Perhaps they care about their search for meaning

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just scored human civilization on the only scale the universe keeps.

Zero.

Musk: “We’re practically nowhere on the Kardashev scale. Not registering.”

The Kardashev scale measures one thing.

How much energy a civilization captures from its star.

Type 1 harnesses its planet. Type 2 harnesses its star.

Humanity is not Type 1.

We are so far below it the math rounds to nothing.

A trillion is a million times a million.

That is the gap.

Every reactor ever built. Every barrel of oil ever burned. Every grid on every continent.

Rounding error.

Three centuries of industrial progress.

Not a flicker on the only scale that tracks whether a civilization is real.

Oil is just old sunlight.

We killed each other for the crumbs.

The sun throws 3.8 × 10²⁶ watts into empty space.

Earth intercepts one two-billionth of that.

We harness a fraction of even that.

The rest hits nothing. Warms nothing. Powers nothing.

The offer has stood for four billion years.

Musk: “Even one millionth of what the sun outputs. Extremely kickass civilization.”

One millionth would make us gods by current standards.

We are not at one millionth.

We are fighting over condensation on a fire hose.

And that is the most hopeful fact about our species.

We mistook the floor for the ceiling.

Musk: “Launch satellites to orbit Earth and capture solar power. Avoids the need to build massive power plants on Earth.”

This is not a policy position.

It is a coordinate change.

Institutions don’t scale. Physics does.

Bureaucracies were designed to manage scarcity. They have no operating manual for abundance.

So they fight it.

Because abundance makes gatekeepers unemployed.

Everything we call history happened in the dark.

Every atom in your body was forged inside a star.

You are not reaching for something foreign.

You are the sun’s output reaching back for the sun.

It poured out an empire for four billion years.

No one showed up to claim it.

Until now.

@MalloryMcMorrow You’re suggesting selling MI to Elon Musk?

@klara_sjo Well done

@IsaacHayes3 He was not found guilty because he is black.

@iamdave1984 @DefiyantlyFree I don’t find that to be at the core of the voters’ reasoning no. They believe they are being pragmatic, not morally superior.

[StructureofTone @dungeonmasterja]

@_Spiritbear_ @DefiyantlyFree Good question

[StructureofTone @dungeonmasterja]

@Fritterdude @DefiyantlyFree Yet they have to try and pander to Christian voters. Whether they follow through or not is another matter

[StructureofTone @dungeonmasterja]

@iamdave1984 @DefiyantlyFree Indeed, to try and sway Christian voters, I presume.

@MattWalshBlog We need a movie about Godfrey the Bouillon and the siege of Antioch, culminating in the retaking of Jerusalem, Spear of Destiny in hand.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes
