I read a book in undergrad written in 2004 that predicted 2032...so not too far off.
John Archibald Wheeler, known for popularizing the term "black hole", posited that observers are not merely passive witnesses but active participants in bringing the universe into existence through the act of observation.
Seems similar. Though this thought is likely applied at the quantum scale. And I hardly know math.
I see other quotes, so here is one from Contact:
David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that's an understatement. What you don't know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.
Ellie Arroway: Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it.
Just eyeballing this, but trading at $180 gives DoorDash a market cap of $60 billion. The IPO priced it at $30 billion.
Uber's market cap is $95 billion.
Lyft's market cap is $14 billion.
UPS's market cap is $120 billion.
Delta's market cap is $40 billion.
So with this naive analysis, I assume there is a lot of potential in last mile delivery. And moving things is more profitable than moving people. Or moving things is stickier than moving people.
In general, curious to wonder how durable this trend is. Or their proprietary gifts. And the pivots they take in the future. They are capturing a lot of taste and preference data on top of logistics.
