ELON MUSK: The Future of Energy Is Beyond Earth.
"It's increasingly difficult to build power plants on the ground. There are very few people who want a power plant in their backyard, so if we wanted to say double the electricity usage of the United States, which is on average about 500 gigawatts, we would have to build, about twice as many power plants, which I don't think people are, well, most communities are not super excited about that, but actually, if we go to space, we can go far beyond the electricity generation of Earth.
In fact, this is going to sound kind of crazy, but you could actually increase harnessed energy by a factor of a million and still be using much less than a millionth of the sun's energy, so current human civilization uses much less than a trillionth of the sun's energy output, which is kind of humbling to think about."
Il y a une chose que peu de gens ont compris, et qui sera pourtant évidente dans dix ans.
Nous ne vivons pas une crise. Nous vivons une bascule. Et tout ce qui ressemble aujourd'hui au chaos n'est que le bruit d'un vieux monde qui refuse de mourir pendant qu'un nouveau se met en marche.
Le premier verrou qui saute, c'est le mental. Pendant soixante ans, l'Occident a été infecté par un virus qui lui faisait haïr sa propre réussite. La honte de bâtir, la suspicion de l'excellence, la sacralisation de la plainte. Elon a fait ce que personne n'osait faire, il a nommé le virus à voix haute et il a refusé de s'y soumettre. Quand un seul homme montre que l'on peut bâtir sans demander la permission, des millions comprennent qu'ils le peuvent aussi. Le sortilège se brise toujours par l'exemple, jamais par le décret.
Le deuxième verrou, c'est la géographie de l'audace. L'Occident n'a pas perdu sa place parce qu'il était devenu faible, il l'a perdue parce qu'il avait décidé d'avoir peur. Peur du risque, peur du nucléaire, peur de la croissance, peur de lui-même. Or la frontière revient là où l'on ose à nouveau. Les fusées repartent, les usines reviennent, l'énergie redevient un projet plutôt qu'une culpabilité. L'Occident ne reprend pas son trône par nostalgie, il le reprend parce qu'il recommence à construire pendant que les autres administrent.
Le troisième verrou, c'est la rareté elle-même. L'intelligence devient abondante, le travail devient abondant, l'énergie devient abondante. Le gâteau cesse d'être fixe, et le jour où le gâteau cesse d'être fixe, toute la logique du ressentiment s'effondre d'un coup. On ne se bat pas pour partager l'infini. La réussite de l'autre cesse d'être ma perte. L'abondance est l'antidote chimique à la haine.
Et c'est là qu'arrive la plus belle partie, celle dont on ose à peine parler.
Une fois la survie résolue, la vie redevient un jeu. Pas un jeu futile, le plus sérieux des jeux. Un monde où chacun n'a plus à se demander comment survivre, mais quelle est sa place, sa quête, sa contribution à quelque chose de plus grand que lui. Certains bâtiront des villes pensées comme des œuvres, d'autres feront avancer la science comme une aventure, d'autres dessineront, soigneront, exploreront. Et au sommet, une seule grande quête commune, la seule à la hauteur de l'espèce, ouvrir le cosmos.
Des hôtels sur la Lune, des vaisseaux vers Mars, des sphères de Dyson, des étoiles colonisées. Ce n'est pas de la science-fiction, c'est le prochain objectif de niveau. La Terre n'était que le tutoriel.
Le vrai conflit du siècle ne sera plus le riche contre le pauvre. Ce sera le gardien contre l'explorateur. Ceux qui veulent un petit monde qu'ils contrôlent, et ceux qui veulent un monde immense qui les dépasse.
Je sais de quel côté je me tiens.
L'avenir est radieux. Il est temps de jouer pour de vrai, et il est temps de construire.
🚨 New York Democrats just voted to erase "Mother" and "Father”.
Governor Kathy Hochul will be replacing "mother" with "gestating parent" and "father" with "non-gestating parent."
This isn't inclusion, it's insanity.
While New Yorkers battle sky-high taxes, crime, and failing schools, The state is obsessed with rewriting biology and the English language. Real parents don't need woke bureaucrats redefining them.
Reject this nonsense.
Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.
Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.
Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.
Fidelity has announced that it is making the SpaceX IPO available to any customer with a retail brokerage account with $2,000 or more in the account (down from up to $500k before).
"SpaceX has decided to reserve a much higher percentage of the offering (up to 30%), which means there should be more shares available to retail clients, which is why we have decided to reduce IPO eligibility for this offering."
SpaceX’s literally destroyed the cost to orbit so much even you can afford the ticket to ride on it in the future
- For decades, launch cost to low Earth orbit was roughly $18,500 per kg
- Falcon 9 brought that down to around $2,700 per kg
- Falcon Heavy pushed it closer to $1,400 per kg
➝ Now Starship is targeting a 99%+ cost reduction
When the cost of reaching orbit falls by orders of magnitude, space stops being a rare government program and starts becoming industrial infrastructure
Starlink, orbital manufacturing, lunar cargo, AI compute, and Mars all depend on one thing:
getting cost to orbit as close to zero as possible
That is why Starship matters so much....It is not just a bigger rocket
It is the cost reset that opens the next economic frontier
Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.
MARC ANDREESSEN: "We had meetings with the Biden admin where they told us to not even start AI companies because there's no way they'll let them succeed."
JOE ROGAN: "What do you do after a meeting like that?"
MARC ANDREESSEN: "You go endorse Donald Trump."
LMAO
🚨BREAKING: SPECIALIST DOCTOR SAYS HENRY NOWAK COULD HAVE LIVED IF NOT FOR POLICE
In summary:
- Henry was alive when they arrived and likely clotted
- Aggressive police intervention likely tore clot
- Major Trauma department was minutes away from scene
- Judge and Pathologist were FAR TOO LENIENT on Police
- Henry Nowak had 50% CHANCE to survive
- Absolutely convinced that if he arrived in hospital alive he would have survived
This is disgusting, the family deserve justice
Full breakdown below:
Dr Krzysztof Magier [@DrMagier] based in the Isle of Wight is a qualified Paediatric Care Lead and part of the 'Critical Care Network' with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds) has analysed the footage and claimed the AGGRESSIVE Police intervention may have contributed towards Henry's death.
Dr Magier DISAGREES with the pathologist's and judge's opinion that Henry Nowak had ZERO chance of SURVIVAL.
As well as the claim that handcuffing him essentially changed NOTHING.
In fact he claims the REVERSE IS TRUE, there is a high likelihood that the police intervention CONTRIBUTED TO HENRY'S DEATH.
He analysed the autopsy report, which points to DAMAGE to the subclavian vein as the main source of BLEEDING.
In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the NATURALLY FORMING CLOT, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding.
The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was CONCIOUS ENOUGH to speak LOUDLY.
He was therefore NOT YET in a terminal state.
After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely STRETCHED, the clot TORN, and BLEEDING DRAMATICALLY INTENSIFIED.
Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and DIED.
People with suspected internal injuries should NEVER be moved or yanked abruptly, such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage.
Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police ARRESTED HIM.
If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been MUCH HIGHER.
AS HIGH AS "50%"—writes Dr. Magier.
Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation.
Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes' drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment.
"I AM CONVINCED THAT IF HENRY HAD ARRIVED THERE ALIVE THE DOCTORS WOULD HAVE NOT LET HIM DIE"—writes Dr. Magier.
The aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. "I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police"
Reading this again, I thought you meant for making like a full length movie or a 30 min episode.
For this 40 sec trailer it was actually just a few days of iterating and playing with the edit and/finding the right music track etc etc. Not anything too crazy at all.
Very doable over the course of a few days to a week max with the Grok Heavy subscription especially with the current discounted rate.
