Over 600 autonomous rocket landings so far
Most people don’t realize how insanely autonomous Falcon 9 already is
Once Falcon 9 lifts off, almost the entire mission is executed by the rocket itself
And the crazy part is
This autonomy does not depend on generative AI
It comes from brutally refined flight software, physics, sensors, control theory and advanced optimization.....improved across hundreds of missions
Falcon 9 autonomously handles:
→ Liftoff and ascent through closed-loop guidance
→ Stage separation at precisely calculated conditions
→ Engine ignition and shutdown sequences
→ Orbital insertion and payload deployment
→ Booster boostback, entry and landing burns
→ Real-time guidance corrections during descent
→ Landing on a floating droneship hundreds of kilometers offshore
→ Autonomous flight termination if mission safety rules are violated
A 70-meter orbital rocket launches itself, separates itself, puts a payload into orbit.....then the first stage falls back through the atmosphere and lands itself on a floating platform hundreds of kilometers offshore
Physics, software, and hardware engineered to absurd precision
Falcon 9 is one of the greatest autonomous machines humanity has ever built
And SpaceX made it look routine
Model Y
Tesla Model Y has become one of the most dominant cars on Earth
It finished as the world’s #1 best-selling passenger vehicle for three straight years:
2023 — #1
2024 — #1
2025 — #1
And more than 4 million Model Ys have now been sold globally
4 million of one fully electric vehicle
It went head-to-head with every gas car, hybrid and EV on the planet.....and stayed at the very top of global auto sales
And now in 2026, Model Y is #1 again through July, with sales up nearly 20% YoY
Model Y is now going for FOUR straight years at the top
The frequently-stated rebuttal is that these are isolated incidents, but even a cursory review of actual statistics proves that these are in fact common!

This is the first time in Earth’s history that the path is visible: cure cancer, slash traffic deaths, give anyone high agency no matter their body — and reach the stars — by scaling compute and energy.
Don’t squander it.

Sachsen-Anhalt hat gesprochen: Die AfD ist mit 44,2% mehr als doppelt so stark wie die CDU und hat einen Regierungsauftrag erhalten. Gratulation an Ulrich Siegmund und die AfD Sachsen-Anhalt!
Illuminating
Now the Third Man – Rudi Dutschke – The Man Who Gave the Long March Its Name.
Gramsci invented the strategy. Dutschke named it – and then went out and implemented it, in the streets of West Berlin, in 1968, with a generation of students who had read Gramsci and were ready to march.
1. Born in East Germany in 1940, he fled to West Berlin in 1961 – two days before the Wall went up. He had seen actually existing socialism from the inside – and concluded not that the project was wrong, but that the method was. He didn’t want that version. He wanted a better one – built from the inside of the Western institutions rather than imposed from above by a party apparatus.
2. He read Gramsci. He read Mao. And he synthesized them into the phrase that named the entire project: der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen – the long march through the institutions. Not Gramsci’s phrase. Dutschke’s. Gramsci had described the mechanism. Dutschke gave it the slogan that made it actionable, transmissible, and operational for an entire generation. The phrase spread across Europe in 1968 like a match dropped in dry grass. Every student who heard it understood immediately what it meant and what it required.
3. The target was precisely identified: not the state, not the economy, but the institutions that reproduced the cultural hegemony – the universities, the media, the schools, the churches, the legal system. Infiltrate them. Occupy them from within. Replace the people who ran them with people who shared the counter-hegemonic project. Don’t storm the Reichstag. Get a job in the editorial office. Get a position in the faculty. Get appointed to the curriculum committee. The revolution would happen through tenure, not through barricades.
4. On April 11, 1968, Josef Bachmann shot Dutschke in the head on the Kurfürstendamm in West Berlin. Three bullets. Dutschke survived – but never fully recovered. He spent the rest of his life in partial recovery, moving between Germany, Denmark, and Britain, still writing, still thinking, still speaking at conferences with the damaged brain of a man who had been shot for his ideas. He died in 1979, drowning in his bathtub during an epileptic seizure caused by the brain damage from the shooting. He was thirty-nine.
5. The shooting produced something Bachmann had not intended: it made Dutschke a martyr and the movement a cause. The protests that followed — directed primarily at the Axel Springer media company, whose tabloid Bild the students blamed for inciting violence — were the largest street demonstrations in West Germany since the war. The attempt to silence the long march accelerated it. The generation radicalized by the shooting went on to become exactly what Dutschke had described: the professors, the journalists, the civil servants, the judges. The bullet proved his point.
6. Gramsci designed the theory in a prison in Italy. Dutschke gave it its name and its generation in Berlin. The 1968 student movement he led was the transmission mechanism – the moment the Prison Notebooks left the academy and became a political program with a slogan, a street presence, and a generational identity. Without Dutschke, Gramsci remains a text. With Dutschke, he becomes a movement. The long march through the institutions began, as a practical matter, in West Berlin in 1968, among students who knew precisely where they were going and had a name for the route.
7. The institutions they marched through are now theirs. The universities, the media, the civil service, the judiciary – all transformed, over fifty years, exactly as Dutschke described. He was shot for saying it could be done. It was done. The man who named the march did not live to see its completion. He died at thirty-nine in a bathtub, from the damage done by a bullet fired by someone who thought killing him would stop the march. It did not stop the march. It never does. Ideas shot in the head have a way of surviving their authors.
Even the bad ones.
