Exactly, and profit is too great a drug for 99% of companies. Consumers just aren’t going to be willing or able to collectively buy up research and regulatory bodies themselves or we would already have a replacement.

I have 2 foil drives for wake thieving and a SUP for downwinding and I’m just excited that someone on HN is talking about foiling. Such an underrated sport.

Which coastal major city do you live in?

I went to a tech founder conference recently and it was quite jarring given the current state of startups to see no lecture or discussion of ethics of products people should be building. It was all focused on demands of PE and delivering profit, no matter the moral cost, not a minute to stop and get a broader systemic reality check. “It turns profit, it must be good”. Not sure how we collectively combat these dominant forces of privacy violation, attention demands, and mass exploitation.

Nice, this is what I’ve been working towards and reaping the benefits of for the last couple of years. Getting my ski days in the winter and foil surfing time in the summer. I love having low hours, with the few hours I’m spending building things being very intentional and feeling more rewarding.

I got a vasectomy a number of years ago in my mid 20s with 0 kids. I exist to experience things like love, hydrofoil surfing, skiing, and the journey to try to do more of these things. There are many people or trained models that could say I have a wasted existence of sorts, but the universe’s ending will always be the same no matter how many times the power dynamics on earth and beyond shift.

Holy smokes, are you willing to share any vague details of what you’re running for 16 hours per day?

Yes, but your attention rapidly loses value the more that your subsequent behavior misaligns with the buyer’s desires. In other words, the ability to target unsuspecting, idle minds far exceeds the value of a willing and conscious attention seller.

What are some predictions people are anticipating for V4?

My Hail Mary is it’s going to be groups of machines gathering real world data, creating their own protocols or forms of language isolated to their own systems in order to optimize that particular system’s workflow and data storage.

Could I get a source of proof for the USAID-EcoHealthAlliance funding and development? I’m googling a lot of variations but I can’t find a good article. Just curious. Thanks.

Good points. I’ve always had negative preconceptions around secession, but I suppose that if the government fails to be productive in adding value to its people and the world, I can see the benefit in being broken up into smaller, more independent or interdependent components.

Appreciate your thoughts.

The way I see it is that Trump’s policies, if acted upon, will have a delayed effect. I see it as a major event contributing to the rebirth of authoritarianism in the 21st century. I think selfishly doing Trump’s America for four years by pumping money into oil production, cutting back on contributions to global stability, and creating distrust in alliances could have disastrous consequences over the next couple of decades. I believe the current structure of techno-feudalism will only become more concrete with the erosion of science and education. Whether there are immediate consequences to this leadership or not, I’m very pessimistic for the future.

What are some other perspectives or predictions regarding how things will go under this current Trump admin; namely foreign policy, global stability, and school system reform?

Wouldn’t this just cause progressives to lose every subsequent presidential election, with those rights eventually being federally outlawed? 270 gets harder to reach the more concentrated a mindset is.
