Not only is Elon’s new venture—Neuralink—the same type of deal, but six weeks after first learning about the company, I’m convinced that it somehow manages to eclipse Tesla and SpaceX in both the boldness of its engineering undertaking and the grandeur of its mission. The other two companies aim to redefine what future humans will do—Neuralink wants to redefine what future humans will be.

The mind-bending bigness of Neuralink’s mission, combined with the labyrinth of impossible complexity that is the human brain, made this the hardest set of concepts yet to fully wrap my head around—but it also made it the most exhilarating when, with enough time spent zoomed on both ends, it all finally clicked. I feel like I took a time machine to the future, and I’m here to tell you that it’s even weirder than we expect.

But before I can bring you in the time machine to show you what I found, we need to get in our zoom machine—because as I learned the hard way, Elon’s wizard hat plans cannot be properly understood until your head’s in the right place.

So wipe your brain clean of what it thinks it knows about itself and its future, put on soft clothes, and let’s jump into the vortex.

By your/Reddit's interpretation of the law (and I'm not sure what this has to do with New York, since CNN is in Georgia - is this some racist Jew York reddit ****?) then CNN would also be guilty if they had published the name, because it would be a standing threat to all other r/td posters that their personal information would be leaked if they didn't stop posting. In fact practically ANY investigative journalism would consititute coercion by your interpretation, for the same reason.

But hell, I'm not a lawyer either. I guess you think you'd be able to convince a prosecutor, grand jury, and a judge/jury that what CNN did passes the same bar as revenge porn, though? Because that's how criminal law gets "applied".

CNN says the person who made the gif is an adult male and they've spoken directly with him. I don't know who this "4chan" person is, but I'm pretty sure they're lying (like they do constantly).

wait but why is the worst. I read that guy's 20,000 word slob-fest about Elon Musk's multi-planet species ambitions, and it was so awful. Could have been 1,000 words and not lost anything important. I like Elon Musk quite a bit, but good lord does that WBW writer have an unhealthy worship of him.

Today I came across an interesting piece of trivia: Palpatine's first name. It's Sheev. Which is incredibly close to Steve. Coincidence?

Ugh, Sanders literally created #GamerGate and #Breitbart.

This same person told me the solution is to dissolve the fringe left in the democratic party and go hard center. So yeah, these same Clintonites are literally just moderate Republicans, who are basically just upper middle class suburbanites who believe the economy is meritocratic, but it has structural problems still because there aren't enough woman and black CEOs.

That's a totally reasonable reaction from somebody who genuinely liked Clinton's platform. Clinton was a Goldwater girl as a child and a neoliberal as an adult, which is sort of the antithesis of the socialist identity of Sanders.

That's exactly the problem, these are almost all privileged people.

To be quite honest Reid you sound a bit sandy right now to me.

But anyway I'm not on the side of your Clinton apologist.

Though I did listen to the person say that the fact blacks overwhelmingly voted for Hillary in the primary is evidence of Sanders' white nationalism.

I've recently arrived at what feels like a clearer picture of where our troubles come from.

I think the big sin of American politics is politicians who promise jobs. Jobs are boring and slowly going away. But the rich don't want to share the wealth, and telling people that they have to work means that workers will blame themselves for inequality. Meanwhile, people are too dulled by working so much that they can't think with enough clarity or accept that this way of life was unnecessary or even immoral, and resign themselves to passive forms of entertainment like television or now YouTube and reddit.

For example, there are a lot of redundant jobs in computer software that don't provide a net gain for society. But the rich have got us blinded by the allure of making money, and this is how it has been from the very earliest days of silicon valley.

What I am saying is that if you replace the classic econonics fable of the crowded theater with a person shouting fire, but instead replace the person with a politician shouting "jobs" (or riches, if you're a go big or go home kind of guy / temporary embarrassed billionaire), you basically can see the problem here.

And the problem I see going into the future is exactly what I said, these people put all of the blame for losing an election to the worst candidate in U.S. history on Sanders and Russia.
