I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.

The man has demonstrated that he can take a ~250 ft tall, 300 ton rocket booster traveling at Mach 5 at ~300,000 ft altitude, reorient / decelerate it, and land it on a tower with a spatial and velocity error of < 1 m and < 1 m/s, and y’all retards are out here speculating that he must have faked a 4000 lb car doing a kick flip from rest at sea level.
I’m sorry but you just don’t have any intuitive sense for physics or engineering difficulty.
If you’ve seen a man piss through a keyhole 100 m away, you don’t need a conspiracy theory to explain how he manages to piss in a lake.

bro u can literally go to the store and buy an electric car that drives itself or a magic square that pulls gigabit internet from a satellite cluster delivered to orbit by reusable rockets
you don’t have to like progress, but calling the man a snake oil salesman is retarded

The most retarded thing on earth is all these people debating the merit/point of the Tesla Roadster cold gas thruster.
One side legitimately thinks it's a step on the way to flying cars.
The other thinks it's frivolous and pointless to develop the first place.
This is literally why we can't have cool/nice things. If more billionaires did things for no reason but the fact that it was awesome the world would be infinitely better.
YOU'RE ALL RETARDED.

cosa del genere, non vederne il potenziale ENORME, dovete essere ciechi, e inariditi sufficientemente nell'animo da non avere più immaginazione.

But you ran against a black queen and took away her Senate nomination, which makes you the Typhoid Mary of the whiteness virus.

For fucks sake its a closed loop system, they just top off the tanks as water evaporates. And you know what happens to evaporated water? It returns to the form of rain. No fucking water is leaving the planet, its not going anywhere.
My favorite World of Warcraft experience was when a friend told me to remap my backpaddle key to a CD. I asked "what if i have to back up?". He said "We only move forward."
Gamechanger.

A Wired journalist went to interview John McAfee once and described the following encounter:
‘He loads the bullet into the gleaming silver revolver, spins the cylinder.
"This scares you, right?" he says. Then he puts the gun to his head.
My heart rate kicks up; it takes me a second to respond. "Yeah, I'm scared," I admit. "We don't have to do this."
"I know we don't," he says, the muzzle pressed against his temple. And then he pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. He pulls it three more times in rapid succession. There are only five chambers.
"Reholster the gun," I demand.
He keeps his eyes fixed on me and pulls the trigger a fifth time. Still nothing. With the gun still to his head, he starts pulling the trigger incessantly. "I can do this all day long," he says to the sound of the hammer clicking. "I can do this a thousand times. Ten thousand times. Nothing will ever happen. Why? Because you have missed something. You are operating on an assumption about reality that is wrong."’

I don’t know what to think about the new Russian virus propaganda but if the reptilian saturn worshipping communists played the long con where they first released Covid (fake) and then the vaccine that killed you specifically to train me into distrusting viruses and vaccines so they could later release an actually deadly one that would kill me without treatment knowing I would rather die than take a vaccine because the point was now to cull the insubordinates then they have succeeded and I will perish.
