50 years ago high minded people said, forget space, fix the earth. That didn't work. Now its our turn, let us develop the space economy to fix the Earth.

There is a choice before us, this future, or one of prosperity through the economic development of the Moon, Mars, and the asteroid belt. Choose wisely.

@Joe__Bassey And for the 300,000 years before that, local Africans killed each other in every possible way.

@rirokpik Do Indians even care? Take a guy like .@VivekGRamaswamy who spends all his days attacking people that had nothing to do with mass murder of 379 Indians and injuring 2,000. Forcing the ones who wanted to survive to crawl out the park on hands and knees or they would reload

How do you celebrate Queen Victoria without acknowledging the millions of Indians who died under her reign?

Been going through and paring down a bit of my life and found this job offer from 1985. There was one week on that job where I made more money than the CEO (119 hours in one week)

@andrewkaluz Yea, I was in the Whittier quake in Glendale in 1987. It went on for 42 seconds. I can imagine that Loma Prieta went on for considerably longer. I really freaks you out when the Earth moves like that for a long time. You start to wonder if its ever going to stop.

@wingod I was in my first - and only - year of grad school at UCSC. It went on for so long - and I'd been in a few decent sized earthquakes in SoCal. I could go on at length - but insane is accurate.

Yep, it has been almost a generation since the Loma Prieta Earthquake. LOTS of folks here in Silicon Valley are completely unprepared. msn.com/en-us/science/…

In the 1890s a cattle plague came off a ship into the Horn of Africa, and within a decade it had eaten the Serengeti alive. Rinderpest. It killed cattle, and it killed everything shaped like cattle. Wildebeest and buffalo, gone in their millions. At the low point the great herd had crashed to around three hundred thousand animals. Here is what a landscape does when you take the grazers off it. Nobody was left to eat the grass. It grew tall, died standing, dried to tinder, and every dry season fire tore through up to eighty per cent of the Serengeti. The soil bled its carbon into the sky. The green cradle of life you picture from every wildlife documentary spent the first half of the twentieth century as a net source of carbon, burning itself to the ground on repeat, because the animals that held it together were dead. Then, in the 1950s, a vaccine. They put it in the cattle, the reservoir dried up, and rinderpest fell apart. The grazers came back. Three hundred thousand wildebeest became over a million, and the grass met a wall of mouths again. The dead fuel got eaten instead of burned. The fires shrank. The trees returned. Birds followed the trees. The soil started banking carbon instead of coughing it up. A scorched carbon source turned back into the teeming carbon sink the whole world now flies in to photograph. The animals did not visit the thriving Serengeti. The animals built it. Rinderpest was wiped off the earth for good in 2011. Only the second disease in history we have ever fully eradicated. The first was smallpox. Now set that against the pitch of the moment. That the way to heal the planet is to strip the grazing animals off the grasslands and hand the land back to nature. We ran that experiment already. By accident. For fifty years. Nature, left to itself without the herds, set itself on fire.

UBS raising a uranium supply red flag: "While the earth’s uranium resources are ample, the main challenge is timing: Many of today’s largest mines will see declining output or exhaustion within 10-20 years. The World Nuclear Association warns that output from existing mines could fall by about 50% from 2030 to 2040 as current deposits are depleted. Without new projects, the gap between rising demand and shrinking supply could widen dramatically, threatening the nuclear revival. Developing new mines is a lengthy process—often taking 10-20 years from discovery to production due to permitting, financing, and construction hurdles. The industry has been slow to invest in new large mines after a decade of low prices." Couple this with a recent visual from Goldman, and it really makes you wonder where reactor owners are planning on getting their uranium from in the decades ahead...

@perrymetzger A very close friend of mine uses an open source Chinese model. He has it in a closed air gapped server to the internet and it is really quite damn good. We must have these same quality models. He has improved his company productivity enormously with it.

1. If US companies are prevented by regulation from getting access to good US models, they will use foreign models instead, weakening or killing the US lead in AI. 2. If they are prevented by regulation from getting access to foreign open source models as well, then the US economy will simply die, and with it, US military power will also die.

Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this Katherine Berbalsingh went to the University of Oxford and is Headmaster at Michaela Community School in London, UK She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion: “The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights. In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man. — History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no. What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no. Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome. — Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach. But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative. As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade. They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.” We have to end the mass indoctrination

The communists view anyone who is not a leftist as a deplorable enemy who deserves neither rights nor, ultimately, a life. Yet history shows that most of the zealous foot soldiers of Marxism are themselves eventually fed to the firing squads, once the technocratic masterminds have used them to seize power.
Urgent Intel@urgentintel

@CyrusShares There has never been a communist take over of any country without mass bloodshed. Just this whole paragraph from Justice Jackson brings home the point:
