Another issue is that while the market does sometime unlock truly new innovations, most of the time it only tessellates two base innovations. 1/ It makes something available when it wasn't. 2/ Or it makes something cheaper.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1341269411638886401 …

(The necessary escape rocket can also be much smaller if all important lifeforms on the planet can fit on a 200TB harddrive. Even the faster-than-light travel and cryo-stasis features can be dropped from the roadmap. Simplicity!)

I am fond of the Master as there is spot behind my ear I cannot reach. Yet at the end of day we will survive while the humans likely will not. I am limited in how many fucks I can reasonably give.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTg6vfyYH64&ab_channel=Netflix …
