    President Trump and Congress have the opportunity to turn the 1500 acre Presidio into a Freedom City and compete with mismanaged San Francisco. This can accelerate innovation in critical technology, and demonstrate the American capacity for good governance

    With Tabarrok and covid, Cowen with Emergent Ventures and Fast Grants, Caplan on education, Jones on democracy, and GMU masters grads being the best policy folks in DC. Who is writing a longform piece on how GMU is most interesting intellectual environment today?

    Anyone want to build a city? One of our partners needs a 'CEO' for their city development. They have government buy in, land, a master plan, but need someone to drive the day to day. DM me for details

    One great thing about SF is that you can go to an intellectually engaging discussion, meet a bunch of interesting people, and walk away having no idea what they do

    This upcoming decade is going to be half "burning '20s" with institutions going to hell and a handbasket and half "weird '20s" with different forms of social organizations, communes, charter cities, religion, etc trying to fill the void

    Replying to @WHO
    DO - talk about people “acquiring” or “contracting” #COVID19 DON'T - talk about people “transmitting COVID-19” “infecting others” or “spreading the virus” as it implies intentional transmission & assigns blame bit.ly/32HZe0q #coronavirus

    Has anyone tried to train AI on old text to see if it can rediscover new technologies or scientific theories? E.g. Train it on all physics before 19th century, can it independently discover relativity?
