the former flyer: People are so lame! I was told that there was a joe Rogan/Elon musk interview where Elon goes a bit crazy and smokes pot. My friends were commenting about how he must be suffering from stress and stuff. I just watched the interview and thought it was fantastic. The guy was super open and interesting. Ideas were fantastic. He did take one puff of a marijuana/tobacco joint. Big deal. They also drank whisky. People are so weird.
b1-66er: one of the weirdest things about the internet -which i never would have guessed- is that everyone's an expert because they can look everything up...
...but people have become remarkably lazy. so they don't actually refer to the source, they refer to a biased synopsis OF the source...
...but people have become remarkably lazy. so they don't actually refer to the source, they refer to a biased synopsis OF the source...
...which almost certainly is some one (or thing) that's:
A undereducated
=and/or=
B looking for consensus bias in what they already believe
=and/or=
C have monetary interests in what they're saying...
...i never, ever, would have expected all this to turn out this way.
FF: Have you seen that interview?
b1: no. I've read about it, though.
I'm not a fan of musk's, so i don't cross into his reality distortion field.
I'll watch it if you want me to. (you have THAT MUCH) control of my behavior.
FF: I personally thought it was interesting. I liked the discussion about AI. What don't you like about him?
b1: I'm not convinced he's doing anything to save the planet...
...but a lot of stuff to tear it up.
FF: They talk about planet saving stuff in the interview
b1: so here's his non-planet saving stuff i know about...
he's making electric cars with no obvious frame recovery and battery disposability...
he's hell bent on getting to mars. which requires HUGE resources, trashes the Earth's atmosphere, endangers another planet's nearly pristine ecosystem.
FF: Ok. I get your pint of view.
b1: i think he, desperately, wants to be > SJ.
FF: If you think about it, it's not such a bad desire to want to be better than Jobs. It's better than not trying to achieve anything. I'm sure he has completely messed up ego stuff. But I still find him interesting. I'd prefer to hear about theories on AI and it's future in our society rather than stupid politics and out of date racist ideas being revamped to serve someone's financial agenda.
