      You have to be fantastically credulous to believe in imminent "comercially viable" fusion power in 2021. Like how are there still adult men with above room temperature IQs that fall for this stuff? Even a Grug can recount how many decades fusion power has been "close" by now.

      2/ I mean "technical analysis" in the sense of "analysis of the technology", not in the sense of stock-price pareidolia.

          3/ yep, I sub to this channel and watched this video a while back I found it to be lacking It raised a valid critique about press releases ... but didn't talk about why fusion reactors can't work. Also, to date the research as all been gov run >https://twitter.com/LudditeHacker/status/1457677285792825347 …

          4/ ...and government and academic R&D projects look at expenses at a BENEFIT. Endless R&D is ideal. Look at academic/gov spacetravel vs free market (SpaceX) Look at academic/gov gene sequencing vs free market etc etc etc I think it's a decent bet.

          5/ I think the chance of Thiel, who's a genius, and who can get the absolute best technical briefings on the planet, understanding the technical constraints and opportunities better than you (or me) is 100%.https://twitter.com/Tinkzorg/status/1457678184581849098 …

          Ironically, the chances of Thiel understanding the finer points of how to generate fusion power for commercial purposes are only very slightly higher than me doing the same. It's hardly some sort of accessible field open to happy amateurs, lol.

          6/ yes, I agree with that the news is written by journalists who are reading press releases by academic hacks it's uselesshttps://twitter.com/LudditeHacker/status/1457679006418051074 …

          I don't think the point was that reactors can't work. Just that they currently are nowhere near as close as you might think based on the news.

          7/ absolutely Thiel bets on fusion if the payoff is high enough to justify the low chance of success. I'm not arguing that fusion is guaranteed, or will happen in 5 years. I'm arguing that Thiel is making good decisions.https://twitter.com/krishnanrohit/status/1457680093980024834 …

          I think this gets the Thiel bet wrong. The bet isn't that fusion will work, it's that fusion can work and if it does it has an outsized payoff. The bet to maximise chance of being right is "fusion won't work". The bet to maximise chance of being rich is "fusion might work".

          8/ yes, it IS an appeal to Thiel's authority or, as I like to think of it, Bayesianism > Thiel's chances of reaching a specialized physician's level of knowledge is very low. I don't respect physicians as much as you dohttps://twitter.com/Tinkzorg/status/1457680392543248394 …

          At the end of the day, this is an appeal to Thiel's authority as a genius. Note that I didn't say "understand better", I said "understand the finer points". The distinction is important: Thiel's chances of reaching a specialized physician's level of knowledge is very low.

          > stock-price pareidolia lollll I've always liked "reading the market tea leaves" or some such, but this is much more succinct. Cheers.
