I think JD Vance is right on point on this. One of the reasons why we've seen stagnation since the 70s may as well be because of the offshoring of American manufacturing to China, Mexico or other developing countries. The signs for that are pretty clear in industries that didn't see much competition for decades but started to see competition recently. The most glaring example is car manufacturing. Tesla is finally able to upend old car makers and the innovation in the industry. Same with Space and SpaceX. We need to bring back manufacturing to the US if we want to see innovation back. Very hopeful that we start to see innovation back in the US

this is... actually quite reasonable however, I'm not sure that the next scale should be framed as only being solved by complex technology, digital or otherwise. the technium is mostly unsaturated. even basic web features are unsaturated, as many proprietorships simply don't update their priors. the best way we can take advantage of the recent hype cycle is working backwards on what needs the same legos, assembled differently. https://warpcast.com/july/0x2a35e21f https://x.com/BasedBeffJezos/status/1832230714252914944

"Here, we describe the unique case of a 50-year-old self-experimenting female virologist with locally recurrent muscle-invasive breast cancer who was able to proceed to simple, non-invasive tumour resection after receiving multiple intratumoural injections of research-grade virus preparations, which first included an Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine strain (MeV) and then a vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana strain (VSV), both prepared in her own laboratory." what a badass cc @christin https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/12/9/958

Capital always tends to find high ROI, moving into new layers of the “cloud”(l2, l3, gaming economies) is the only option to drastically reshape markets for now until space related businesses becomes more available as industry grows. 😉🫣

Given that Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, was a terrorist who killed people with mail bombs and lived in a shack in the woods, I expected his manifesto to read like the ravings of a lunatic. I was wrong. His prose is quite readable, and the manifesto has a clear inner logic.
