What technical issues did Scott face during the podcast?
Did you just disappear? When I tap my papers, did the picture just disappear? Because it threw me out of the app. How could everything go wrong? How is that even possible? All I did was this. I won't do it again. And it turned off the app. This is so beyond, this is so beyond possible. I mean, we're into some statistical impossible situation here. It can't be that all the apps died at the same time. They couldn't all be broken at once. Could they? I know there's a massive incompetence problem, but that's pretty impressive. Anyway. If you'd like to take your experience today up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brain, none of it makes sense today, does it?
The preamble doesn't make any sense because the starting assumption is that things went right, so the preamble doesn't make sense. Let's just do the simultaneous. But let's just surrender. Shall we surrender to the fact that everything's just going to go wrong today? Just absolutely everything's going to go wrong. Sip to that. Sometimes it goes that way. And then he is slap happy. It's up 172% since I told you about it. Anyway, all right, let's talk about some of the news. You ready for this? Let's try for the fourth time in a row to push one freaking button. Okay, I'm going to use my finger, which I know is a human finger. I'm positive I'm still alive. And I'm going to push the button, which I've pushed now five fucking times once it worked. All right, careful, careful.
Push the icon. Yes. Yes. I pushed a button and it did what it was supposed to. First time today. All right. Did you know there's a breakthrough in fusion? Nobody cares. General Atomics. They figured out how to get 20% higher than the Greenwald limit. The Greenwald limit, which you all know about, of course. It's some kind of limit that the fusion people needed to get past, and they got past it.
What recent breakthroughs have occurred in fusion energy?
It was considered difficult or impossible. But they did, and they've also figured out to stabilize the plasma. Now, the thing with the fusion is it might be another 20 years of, there's another breakthrough. without actually anything breaking through. But once it gets serious, it's all going to happen at once. Now, isn't it weird that fusion is coming, which would lower the cost of energy to zero over time? At exactly the time, we need cheap energy and relief from inflation. Have you noticed that we have a number of timing things happening that are weird, meaning that all right, we're heading toward doom with our debt and our expenses and nobody can live. But at the same time, if fusion were a little bit faster, it would save us. But it might just be late by 20 years. I mean, if you look at the history of humankind, missing it by 20 years, that would be the slightest, slightest miss. But we have other timing, too.
So, you know, the AI people at OpenAI think that we're on the verge of being able to solve all of our cancers and diseases because AI will figure out some pattern recognition and figure out how to do it. What about the people who have terminal cancer this year? They might miss the cure for all cancers by a month. Now, It's bad enough that you have to die from cancer at all, but think how dumb you would feel if you died a month before all cancer is cured. That's going to happen. It's like somebody's family member is going to die a month before all cancer is cured. I don't know if that's a year from now, but that's what the AI people say. It could be a year from now. Meanwhile, NASA is testing a nuclear propulsion to go to Mars in 45 days. So currently it's six months. I think that would lower from six months to 45 days. That would be a pretty big deal. And then, um, what else? Oh, I saw a quote from Naval Ravikant, who's on Tim Ferriss' podcast. And he said that people who don't homeschool their lives suck. And then he described why. Totally right.
If anybody has had kids in the last, say, last 20 years, you know that the life of the parents is essentially destroyed by school. Because the school loads them up with homework, so you can't have any quality time at night. But you've got to get up, and you've got this stress of getting them there, and the traffic, and everything's tense, tense, getting the kids to school.
