      A weird trend: a lot of people I know are going back to look at stuff done in the 1960s to help with their current work. e.g. @LaureneTran91 with firm economics, @patrickc with scientific project management, @gauravvman with RNA, and ofc @nickarner and I with human augmentation

      Other data points: China looking at 1960s US science, @boomaero It's consistent with the theory that: we used to have some institutional knowledge about how to create progress and prosperity, but lost it somehow (and then ended up with 40 years of bubbles, Enron, etc)

      This is very much Peter Thiel's viewpoint - that we have to choose to make science and progress a priority, and need an attitude something like "definite optimism"

      It also ties into PT's view that *something* important peaked in 1969.

      What are best guesses as to what that may be? Seems plausible, at least in a world of atoms

          That’s a great policy recommendation but I don’t think that’s it More that you had an “establishment” of pro-science people in business and government before the hippies revolted

          can you dumb this down for me how was the switch from long-term deterministic (dare to say optimistic) thinking to short term economic gains pushed by students looking for "world peace/unity"?
