Kelly Johnson of Lockheed (designer and PM for record breaking aircraft) had a very strong position on core competency. It had to be protected and advanced at all costs.
There was some truth to that. The 737 MAX is a hot aircraft (a light airframe with new powerful engines) that could quickly get away from you. Most US pilots come from the military and are typically top notch. Third world pilots to be quite honest, don't measure up in all areas.
I have no doubt the metaverse will be the future. Obviously it's hard for people to imagine the possibilities. It's also hard to explain it to people who lack imagination. I think it opens up amazing new horizons for humans to be a part of. From work to recreation. One example, you are working, writing code. You have virtual monitors hanging in front of you. No need to have a physical monitor with limited real estate. Your virtual monitors can be any width or height. They can be swiped aside or brought into focus. Your teammates appear and disappear as the needs dictate. You can have that virtual golden retriever you always wanted, lying by your feet. Music is playing in the background. This while you sit in the Taj Mahal. Later in the day you want to walk on the beach in Bali. One gesture, you are there. It's live and it's sunset. So yes, I want the metaverse sooner than later.
I have suffered from ADHD my entire adult working life. I am a developer and it’s been a real struggle. I could not utilize Adderall as I have high blood pressure and it hits your system all at once. Two years ago, a doctor prescribed Vyvanse. It’s been miraculous. I’m now able to function at a high level and maintain that performance throughout the day. I believe it restores your dopamine levels to that of a normal person. Vyvanse is a time release formulation that is also a single enantiomer (highly purified) and does not contain other undesirable chiral components of Adderall. Please look into this medication if you suffer from ADHD.
