Jevon’s Paradox

Thank the lord someone said it.

"In reference to the unexpected deaths of his fellow authors, Wilcock remarked, “I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing.”

He makes a lot of promises and gets a ton of government funding and pumps up his stocks. For example; the catchable booster is cool but it was not invented by him and his promises of giving boosters a turnaround of 24hrs or something is wildly absurd. Also, the Starship HLS has been delayed repeatedly and it was promised to carry thousands of pounds into space when it has repeatedly exploded while carrying no weight. These are just a couple of things and despite the failures, he continually wriggles out of consequences whilst pumping up stocks with bullshit.

Yes, I am biased. Fuck Elon Musk and his shitty-rocket-embezzlement-scheme SpaceX.

Genuine question: Is artemis II a “Fuck You” to Elon Musk bc his shitty rockets cannot get out of orbit with 0 payload while the government builds one and sends it around the moon with people? Did Musk and the govt collaborate or what?

That’s the first service to be officially removed. We will see what happens to the rest.

Had a diet soda after work yesterday. Just sat down right now after getting home from work and am craving one intensely.

I wouldn’t really care if my inbox got deleted.

R is a lifesaver because it is free. Totally sucked learning it but I am glad I have that skill under my belt.

Does this speech mark the beginning of The Chinese Century?
