He's a classic visionary with the ability to manifest that vision in others with his words. His track record speaks for itself, likely because of his vision and willingness to risk. He likely has strong skills in seeing positive outcomes and cast them as truths into others. He will continue to succeed in business outcomes, until his vision falters.
Above the Curie temperature for a given material, the spin orbits of the atoms are randomized. When it was a "magnet" the atoms spin orbits were lined up.
A spinning barrel has all the motion of the atoms "lined up" in a curve. The curve becomes a frame of reference to the remainder of the Universe. Whether or not the individual atoms of the barrel are lined up with each other, or not, is irrelevant to developing a gravitational gradient.
Magnets pull together field lines in the extant magnetic field. These field lines either don't exist or are straight lines, unless they happen to intersect with a gravity gradient or a piece of matter, which is itself a manifestation of vibrations in various fields. These vibrations are assumed to have various alignments, depending. When the Curie temperature is reached in a particular piece of matter, those vibrations become randomized in direction. So, the field lines passing through that matter would then remain "straightish". They aren't bent significantly in one direction or the other.
There is another possibility, which accompanies the idea of divergent magnetic field lines. Crystalline bismuth will causes fields lines to diverge along certain directions of the crystalline lattice. Above the equivalent idea of a Curie temperature for dielectrics, the material ceases to diverge the field lines and they regain their "straight" nature. If a plate of crystallized bismuth is placed in a magnetic field, it will tend to spin to align its lattice to the field lines with the least amount of divergence.
So, take a crystalized plate of bismuth. Create a strongly aligned and coupled magnetic field with two bifilar coils. Rotate the plate through the field, aligned perpendicularly to the field lines. Ensuring the planes of the lattice, as it rotates, impact the lines of force at an angle that maximizes the divergence of those field lines. Increase the rotation to the point that the field lines, in the frame of rotation are diverged significantly to form an effect. This would be assumed to have proportional effects based on the inertial mass of the rotating crystal. This would be visualized as a circle of bent field lines within a larger lattice of straight field lines, which grow larger as the rotational velocity is increased.
The resulting effect should manifest as an inertial field dampener for existing gravitational gradients. In other words, it should nullify the existing curvature of space in a particular area around the device, in a particular plane, maybe in the form of a circle.
If this were possible, it might have significant implications for developing a gravity shield. Or not.
There's a slight problem in your use of "everyone". You, personally, don't know or have sampled everyone. You are using it as a indication that "people warned" and "people should know", given people warned other people.
Saying you can't believe people didn't know is just showing lack of empathy in how others form trust. Many of those people form trust by looking at a screen and seeing a nice website with nice logins and nice charts. They look at things with dollar signs and say, "that's a good number there". Others dig in and are curious about how things work. Some laugh when people complain about how much power proof-of-work takes and believe it is the eniventible conclusion to why we don't see aliens out there.
Don't be the wurst person. Be the best! See that all humans need our help from an understanding technology perspective. Know that software can be implemented to take away their choices, or give them more choices than they had before.
Eating habits can change with stress. If I eat certain types of wheat, my back hurts. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy that came back normal, but I had some inflammation spots in my stomach, likely due to consuming some bad wheat or something else. These changes can come about from the state of gut biomes.
Cleaning up my eating habits and consuming probiotics seems to have helped a lot. I can eat limited amounts of gluten now without my back hurting, or my stomach complaining about it. I still struggle with cravings of sugar and cream at times, especially when I'm fighting depressive events. Eating things the body craves is an easy out. It's limiting those actions with mind, when it is not so healthy, that challenge many of us.
Spin. Everything that has gravity eventually spins, so spin produces gravity and gravity produces spin. Even the moon spins, so I must be right.
Also, if you spin someone in a barrel, it produces a force that is indistinguishable from gravity, for the person in the barrel. Simple, but scientists like to make things complicated and confusing. Probably makes them sleep better at night.
See Newtons bucket argument. Spin is relational to the universe. If something spins, it produces gravity gradients. These come from differing frames of reference to time, or more specifically, variance in the pace of causality.
I was thinking about "physical reality" as a means to establish a chain of trust. If you and I sit next to each other, we have vocal and image chat available. Other than someone coming and physically injecting themselves into our "sphere", our communications can be trustworthy and reliable.
If a "chunk" of data could be "sovereignized" by association with other "nearby" chunks of data (through some common signing event), one could "move" seamlessly from one chunk to the other, regardless of where it was being "served" from.
When I talk about "chunks" here, I'm talking about document boundaries and ownership/control of the data.
If we were in some sort of simulation, moving from my sphere of data to yours would look something like a probability distribution. By having signed contracts between the spheres, one could increase the probability that movement in a general direction resulted in access and loading of trusted data.
Because the chains start out empty, nobody "owns" these fictitious plots until they are established through preexisting trusted channels. Various channels as well. None of this bullshit NFT land grab crap that nobody can trust. Use NFTs, or even better, Lightning payments to establish the "authenticity" of the nearby data spheres.
There is value in the burn of mining. Understanding this requires understanding how humans evaluate risk and reward. Not all human evaluation of risk may be influenced by outside thought. It is ingrained from childhood.
Never ceases to amaze me how companies will do whatever the fuck it is they want to do. Snap should be ashamed of taking the brand of an educational device for their floating piece of garbage tech.
Someone should do something similar with Lyft, who will allow the drivers app to report you’ve been picked up and dropped off all the while the rider is still standing waiting for the car to show up. Adding insult to injury they ask you to “rate” the ride that never occurred before providing a button to report it.
The “rights” we are talking about is mostly the right to run their own utility and trash services. That’s about it and whatever else the government usually provides. Street repair. Security. They don’t get a lot of financial breaks and what they do get from it is based off efficiency of their models, not some “sweetheart” deal.
13 year olds don't worry about houses, they worry about things shared online by their peers. That's on Silicon Valley, folks. Denial of our own hand in this is real.
