What if ideas aren't getting harder to find, just harder to implement?

If your opponents are opportunists, one way to beat them is to outlast them. Opportunists almost by definition lack staying power.

the lesson of the atomic bomb was that scientific materialism really works. you really can spend a lot of time doing arcane things to bizarre substances to produce the most dangerous weapon in history. i think science fiction as a genre largely exists to process this fact

Ok, going to sleep again. Back tomorrow.

Ok—I’ll pick up replies again tomorrow. Thanks for the talk everyone.

How come we haven’t seen any climate change deniers rush in to fill the insurance provider gap in Florida? Seems like easy money since risk isn’t actually going up, just wokeness

most people in most places are checked out. they don't display any basic curiosity about what their desk neighbor is working on or what their product does. you can win over and over again just by caring

Is this a "I have a PhD in astrophysics, but I'm too dumb to do calculus" week, or an "any idiot can learn category theory" week? Trying to get my calendar in sync.

People will say that electric cars still aren’t quite there yet because the 6 times over the life of the car they’ll need to charge it on a long trip, it might take 20 minutes. Then they’ll go sit in line at Costco to save 20 cents/gallon.

Just remarkable -- Antarctic sea ice extent is quickly approaching 6 standard deviations below the most recent 1991-2020 mean. Can an expert in Antarctic sea ice please chime in here? WTF is going on?

We need to decarbonize how we make things, not just how we make energy. Co-Founder and Co-CEO John Bissell @bysl joined the Engineering Matters podcast @engineermatters to discuss. $ORGN Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5MR… Apple podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

This seems true. It’s the school model of reality: the basic assumption that your job is to please, direct, and correct the authorities who are the only ones with real agency.

The funniest and most ridiculous bear argument that I've read on $ORGN is that founder and co-CEO John Bissell, and I quote, "Talks too smart."

#RethinkingMaterials conference in London, UK. I was pleased to participate in a panel discussion to talk about new supply chains for biomaterials, and discuss our partnership with @OriginMaterials for the development of #FDCA and #PEF based and 2nd generation feedstock.

$ORGN "We're not trying to be a one plant company or meet some niche application. We're trying to be a major part of these companies' long term supply chain, as evidenced by the 9 Billion order book. Some of our customers need multiple O2, eg billion dollar plants, just for their own needs, and that's what quickly leads you to licensing conversations because it would make no sense to provide for a single customer or to build the next 3 plants for one customer. So, part of what we're excited about is partnering customers who need multiple plants with companies that are really good at building plants like these, and we provide the technology. You know, we think the world needs dozens and dozens of these plants, way more than we're going to be able to build with our own balance sheet and our talent constraints and things like that, and we're really open minded to how we get this platform into the world and have as big of an impact as we can." -@rriley17 43:16 mark open.spotify.com/episode/0UU…
