The massive thing that can be done is to make sure your incentive structure is such:

There's gotta be a carrot and a stick.

What we're observing is not a riot against experts, but a riot against a certain kind of experts.

I call those IYI, intellectual yet idiots, because of lack of contact with reality.

Anything that, like Academia, doesn't have contact with reality, collapses.

The whole purpose of SpaceX is to help make life multi-planetary.

It'll be increasingly important for the US to use what I think is its greatest attribute, invention.

To create space technology that is the best in the world.

In fact, if the US does not use breakthrough innovation, it will fall behind.

I just feel no human should ever have seen this,

Sometimes you read something that's completely BS, it takes more energy to displace BS than truth.

It's the opposite. Truth is a basin of attraction, it has been over history.

So eventually things will revert to the truth.

People don't realize that what I'm writing in Skin in the Game is an outcry against BS intellectuals

who're actually pseudo left. They want identity politics, it's actually a form of racial segregation

The way they define themselves, it's a white supremacist type of thing.

Don't shoot for equality, shoot for a high bankruptcy rate.

People have the illusion that you want opportunity so people are able to go up.

No! You want people to come down from the top!

I came from practice to theory, usually people go from theory to practice.

This parallels that people have the illusion that technology comes from science, it's the other way.

They started doing something, didn't know why it worked, and someone claimed credit later on.

What I call "Lecturing birds how to fly."

The solution is both local power generation and utility power generation. It's not one or the other.

Of course you're going to have a lot of warmongers today, this is a danger for humanity!

They'll use any excuse they can, even leftist ideas, cause our merchants know how to play the system

They can say humanitarian war, or like in Libya, change of regime. "But look, we have democracy"

You kill everyone and say, well look, their cholesterol level improved.

You cannot have civilised society unless those who create risks aren't also aware of the risk.

Ludic Fallacy is that the probability or risk and uncertainty that we encounter in life,

has very little to do with things you encounter in casinos or games. 

I realised people who traded have a different worldview than those who came from theory.

I figured out that those who became practitioners after knowing theory always blew up!

There's something in the mindset of people who studied economics that made them blow up.

Excepting mathemathicians, because they're sort of theory free.

Eventually, we're gonna print human organs in 3D using adult stem cells, your own DNA.

It's gonna transform how we do medicine here on Earth.

We're creating advanced materials that you can only create in the microgravity of space!
