Have a great time at the generator. Would love it if you brought the show back to the UK.

Yes. AI has a lot of hype and can be transformational in some applications. The potential for quantum computing, cryptography and communication is huge.

The thing is, the LoTR and the Culture are the exact opposite of what Musk, Thiel, and the other tech Bros promote.

Also, even Frodo was ultimately corrupted by the ring and was only freed of the ring by someone else corrupted by power. Frodo learned to rise above hate, offering pity to those who had fallen from grace.

I expect that there are military planners that understand this, but if the policy makers at the top have no strategic vision, then defeat is a high probability. Warrior culture is not going to help in a high tech missile/drone exchange.

Just thinking from Tom's comment that it's not civic education. That is junior and high school stuff. Once you get to college does that education make you less likely to be a hard-core Trump supporter?

How many of those have post secondary education? Just wondering what it is with that specific demographic.

Whatever you think of Musk, Starship/SuperHeavy has great potential for getting tonnage to LEO. Using a modified Starship as a lander was just a dumb idea.
