Every hospital in Britain had a stockpot on the stove until approximately the 1960s. Every workhouse before that. Every military mess. Every school kitchen. Every farmhouse. Every household that could afford bones, which was every household, because bones were the cheapest thing the butcher sold. The stockpot ran continuously. Beef bones, pork bones, chicken carcasses, lamb shanks. The bones went in with water and were simmered for 12, 18, 24 hours. The broth that came out was the foundation of every soup, every stew, every gravy, every sauce. Bone broth contains collagen, which breaks down into gelatin during cooking. Gelatin provides glycine and proline, essential for joint health, gut lining integrity, and connective tissue repair. It contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium leached from the bones. It contains glucosamine and chondroitin, now sold as joint supplements at £15 per bottle. It contains bone marrow, rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2. Your grandmother did not know the names of these compounds. She knew the broth kept the family well. She knew a bowl of broth settled the stomach when someone was ill. She knew the broth made the gravy and the gravy made the dinner and the dinner kept the children growing. The broth was replaced by the stock cube. The stock cube contains salt, maltodextrin, palm oil, yeast extract, flavouring, sugar, and colouring. It does not contain collagen, glycine, glucosamine, or any of the compounds the 24-hour broth provided. The stock cube is flavoured salt water. The generation that grew up on the broth has joints. The generation that grew up on the stock cube has a glucosamine subscription and an orthopaedic appointment. The supplement industry now sells, individually and at substantial markup, every compound the bone broth contained for free. Collagen powder: £25. Glucosamine tablets: £15. Bone broth itself, repackaged as a wellness product: £8 per serving from a company in Shoreditch with a minimalist label. They have not discovered anything new. They have rediscovered what their grandmothers threw away. The stockpot is still available. The bones are still at the butcher's. Water. Bones. Heat. Time. The broth has been the broth for approximately 10,000 years. The stock cube has been the stock cube for approximately 70. The broth's track record is better.

In China they have marathons for robots They have festivals where grandmas line up to install OpenClaw They make sure every man woman and child uses AI In America the AI execs tell you AI is too dangerous to be released publicly If things don’t change here we’re going to lose
Kyle Chan@kyleichan

This Chinese humanoid robot just shattered the world record for a half marathon, finishing in 50 min 26 sec. This video shows its crash just meters before the finish line where it had to be picked up by a team of humans. The robot is from Honor, the smartphone maker and Huawei spin-off. This robot was teleoperated while others were autonomous. It seems like all the robots had battery swaps along the way.

What if memory loss isn’t actually memory loss? What if the memories are still there… But the brain can’t access them? Alzheimer’s disrupts the connection between key areas of the brain responsible for storing and retrieving memory. That’s why this conversation matters.

“We should have been thinking about the apocalypse every week since 1952–53.” Eric Weinstein dropped this on Triggernometry: The old world order is collapsing, birth rates are cratering, and single-planet civilization is now far too fragile. AI has finally woken us up to the danger. His solution? Sprint. Colonize as many planets as possible. Run the largest number of experiments humanity can. Live the science fiction future we’re already halfway into. “We are already living science fiction lives,” he said. “Why can’t we live a science fiction future?” When the stakes are existential, do we play it safe on one vulnerable planet… or do we go full multi-planetary as fast as humanly possible?

@PeterDiamandis One strong possibility is DNA stewardship, which solves aging by allowing you to step down once your next life cycle is underway. You can invest in that today. waypointregistry.com

Nick Bostrom says AI is already showing creativity by building on learned patterns, much like the human brain We build on what others discovered, make new leaps from it, and call that creativity "whatever the brain can do, machines will do better and faster, with more compelling symphonies"

Dustin@r0ck3t23·
Eric Schmidt just called AGI the most important event in a thousand years of human history. Then the interviewer brought up radical abundance and UBI. Eric Schmidt: “You tech liberal you.” Every traditional economist already knows the rebuttal. UBI means printing money. Printing money means inflation. End of discussion. Their math is not wrong. Their math is obsolete. The old rule is simple. Print dollars without producing goods and prices explode. Every hyperinflation in history confirms it. But that rule has a hidden assumption buried inside every model. Human labor is the bottleneck of all production. AGI removes the bottleneck. Permanently. Autonomous machinery pulls raw materials from the earth. No operator. Self-driving trucks haul those materials across continents. No driver. Automated factories turn them into goods. No worker. Humanoid robots load the freight, stock the shelves, wire the buildings. No hands. When those robots break, better robots design, build, and replace them. No engineer. No technician. No human anywhere in the loop. From the mine to your front door, the entire chain runs without a single paycheck. Labor is the largest cost hidden inside everything you own. When it hits zero, the price of everything chases it down. Not cheaper. Not discounted. Functionally zero. This is where the inflation argument dies. UBI inflates only when printed dollars chase scarce goods. That is the textbook answer. And the textbook is correct. But inside a fully automated loop, goods stop being scarce. Machines produce faster than humans can spend. GDP does not grow linearly. It goes vertical. For the first time in recorded history, supply will outrun demand at every price point in every market on earth. Ten thousand years of civilization. Every empire. Every war. Every famine. Every economic theory ever written. All downstream of two words. Not enough. AGI does not solve that problem. It makes the question obsolete.

One of the biggest advantages someone can have going into the future is not who has the most capital, but those that can understand exponential cruves before anyone else.

The constraint on human civilization is about to shift from "What can we imagine?" to "How fast can we build it?" AI removes the intelligence bottleneck, Terafab slays the chip constraints, Starship removes the mass-to-orbit bottleneck, and Orbital data centers removes all power limits. We're in the final innings of scarcity. Most people haven't noticed yet.

Renewables just hit 49.4% of global electricity capacity. 5.15 terawatts. Solar drove 75% of the new additions. Some people thought it was impossible.

What do Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk all have in common? They are all obsessed with transhumanism. -Altman wants to upload minds. -Thiel funds young‑plasma transfusions. -Musk wants human‑AI symbiosis. They all believe in singularity, where man and machine merge into one to reach our full potential. They’re not hiding their plan. They say it out loud. The only step left is getting the public on board. Don’t give them a pass. Name them. Call it out.

Actually, AI/Robotics will mean everyone can have a penthouse if they want. The output of goods & services will be several orders of magnitude higher than today’s economy. Read the Iain Banks Culture books for the best imagining of how it will be. That said, what is the future you want? Amazing abundance seems the best to me.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
