I feel like it still starts off too credulous towards the rationalists, but it's still an informative read.

Around this time, Ziz and Danielson dreamed up a project they called “the rationalist fleet”. It would be a radical expansion of their experimental life on the water, with a floating hostel as a mothership.

Between them, Scientology and the libertarians, what the fuck is it with these people and boats?

There was an arcade beat-'em-up simply called Cadillacs and Dinosaurs which I believe is considered pretty good. I remember watching the show as a kid and enjoying it, but that could have just been lower standards at the time. After all, I have a sneaking regard for the pretty corny BattleTech cartoon that was released around the same time...

Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine and I believe also Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm. Both FMV-laden turds.

Elon Musk trying to make himself out to be a god gamer is such a lose/lose situation; the people who care are also the ones who are going to be the quickest to call him out on his bullshit and other people either don't care or make the logical conclusion that the time expenditure required would be prohibitive for his supposed job of CEO of multiple companies. It's just such a hilarious self-own.

Also, a reminder that Musk was a junior programmer on two of the worst Sega CD games.

Unfortunately, they missed the techbro arseholes in California who not only did vote for him, but have lined up to supplicate themselves before him.

There's also the fact that debts increase in relative value over time, therefore discouraging people taking out loans for various purposes (mortgages, starting businesses, etc.), which was a major reason for the protests against the gold standard in the US around the late 1800s - see the Cross of Gold speech.

The US has one of the worst ratios of representatives in their legislature per capita in the world, no less.
