Our Pale Blue Dot π
Look again at that dot. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives
8 billion people, we're all in this image π

Futarchy by @robinhanson - where we vote on values but bet on beliefs
We vote on what we want as a society (values), but use prediction markets to determine how to achieve it (beliefs)
Evolution or Extinction of politics?
believing in a singularity requires what @kevin2kelly calls "thinkism" β the belief that thinking really hard is the only thing you need to solve all the problems in the world
rich people now are so boring
all they do is LP in random venture funds or get their last names attached to random street signs
go be a patron of the arts, commission random shit, start high society institutes, fund individual scientists, build underwater cities
βCapitalism was the only system in history where wealth was not acquired by looting, but by production, not by force, but by trade, the only system that stood for manβs right to his own mind, to his work, to his life, to his happiness, to himself.β

Attempted to write a Steam Engine hype at the era of Industrial Revolution as if it was the age of AI β
The steam engine breakthrough is insane right now.
Wattβs separate condenser + new GRPO optimization just dropped the 405 hp-class engine. We went from 7 hp β 70 hp β 405 hp+ in basically three years. One machine now does the work of 50+ men or water wheels β nonstop, rain or shine, anywhere.
Textile mills, ironworks, everything scaling 5-10x overnight. Productivity exploding.
This isnβt incremental. Itβs automating physical labor at massive scale. Jobs shifting forever. Society about to look unrecognizable.
The Industrial Revolution isnβt coming. Itβs here and accelerating faster than anyone predicted.
Terrified. Excited. Both.
What a time to be alive. ππ¨
