It's all designed. Top down, one mind. Designed. That's why it all works.

Think about all the cells, and the thousands/millions of jobs they do, in perfect coordination just in your fingers or hands.

It's all designed.

They should make recommendations, and then before anything goes into effect, these recommendations must be passed into law (Congress passes bill, President signs it).

They could bundle these up regularly.

Starting at the bottom with basic facts helps build understanding.

Almost seems too-good-to-be-true right? Such a tight margin-of-error...

CO2 is 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere, amazing!

79% Nitrogen

21% Oxygen

0.9% Argon

0.1% Other (includes CO2)

Amazing how precise we can get these number with what appears to be a very tight margin of error.

The temperature estimating margin-of-error for sponges must be super tight! ;)

Spoiler: There's no life on any of those planets.

This is the correct take. Well said.

Another great memory was writing "broken" HTML comment tags so you could disable "auto-inserted" ads from Geocities and Angelfire (and other) sites so you could look cool with your premium, ad-free site.

So, so much time spent on DynamicDrive. It was the future. Thanks for the reminder!

Agreed. Glad to see the "opening up" of Aerospace/Military that SpaceX has enabled by simply being extremely competent. Anduril is also making great plays in the Military contractor space. They don't do "cost plus" projects, but design and build the entire POC themselves then offer it to US Armed Forces.

Agreed. This is absolutely immoral. I don't know how we can trust that this evidence is useful in an "real" sense.

Just put this out there:

The higher the stakes, the less we should trust what we're "told". Esp if we're told to "believe and don't question".

It won't always be obvious to you directly, why something is wrong or corrupt, rather this is a sense we have to develop over time: question the people and ideas that we're supposed to "trust".

Yes. But you have to know how to use them. And I don't mean "pressing buttons".

This is awesome. A lot of good comes from colocating office work into a central building so the outlying areas can be used for "life affirming" purposes.

Housing, parks, churches, restaurants, entertainment etc.

We should want more "lone wolf" office buildings like this in every city.

If you have an erroneous view of life and it's origins on earth, you'll come up with variations of this type of thinking.

However, life didn't evolve through a random walk of chemical reactions turning into complex systems with the ability to replicate and gain ever increasing complexity over time. Not possible.

Entropy is increasing.

Glad to see that SpaceX has lit a fire here. We'll look back and marvel at how much SpaceX accelerated our technological timeline due to aggressive optimism and engineering leadership.
