Master the sciences, master the arts. Become a polymath and a polyglot. A hacker and a pianist. An entrepreneur and a poet. A mathematician and a writer. An investor and an athlete. A physicist and a historian. Embrace the Greco-Roman ideal of being a well-balanced man.

It's so hard to understand why the person (@elonmusk) who is probably the best CEO of our times is so hated. He definitely has made mistakes (just like we all do), but he has created more value for the world than any other human being in our times.

Literally no one believed in reusable rockets back in day, same for electric cars. He literally went all in and put the entirety of the fortune he accumulated after creating Paypal on the line. Having that level of intelligence, work ethic and skin in the game deserves respect.

1. higher taxes as you have the same infrastructure to maintain with less tax contributors 2. more healthcare spending + retirement pensions because of an ageing population and a smaller workforce (in EU countries) 3. less consumers, smaller markets, less innovation and growth

We should embrace exceptional human beings, not hate them. Scientists and entrepreneurs are those who move humanity forward, and we should have *much* more respect for them.

If there are so many space startups nowadays, and that it's finally becoming a viable business model, it's thanks to him, for example. Without Musk, we would still be relying on government agencies like NASA, leading to a lack of competition which in turn slows down innovation.

Zcash has no competition. - Bitcoin is fully transparent + stagnating - Monero has weak decoy-based privacy + bad culture + linked to crime - Aztec, Privacy Pools, etc. are great but too recent for SoV use cases + not as perfect privacy-wise No alternative to ZEC 🛡️

I’ve spent weeks working on this. Today, it’s live: my full guide to Many-Worlds. If you’ve ever wanted a clear, rigorous, but beginner-friendly guide to quantum mechanics → this is it.

Martin Skreli reassuring Do Kwon about prison during the livestream is definitely one of the greatest moments in crypto’s history.

From reading the attached excerpt, this isn't hack to be honest. It's impressive and slightly scare, sure, but it's not a hack.

He essentially organized a pump and dump while having absolutely 0 legal liability, 0 ethical issues (he just posted memes), and probably millions in profit. Brilliant indeed.
