I don't think computers have been enough to keep productivity growing quickly. I'm with Peter Thiel and Jeremy Grantham, we've had a remarkable secular decline in productivity, and the problem will not be solved until we successfully win the war against this virus.

i've worked with both Bill Gates and Peter Thiel! They both funded LightSail Energy. Bill has a point that we could do much better *BUT* are constrained by attitudes that are everywhere Bill confessed to me about his problems even appointing a CEO of Microsoft. It's hard to do!

I can certainly agree with that. My point is markets are also pricing in that you will in fact do so much better, maybe better than you expect.
