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.

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.

Also, a reminder that Musk was a junior programmer on two of the worst Sega CD games.
This just keeps getting better and better.

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

Which is absolutely insane. The knowledge to make efficient, modern jet engines is heavily concentrated (for example, India has been trying to build their own jet engines to reduce dependency on the US and Russia and have only managed to get to 1970s-era technology) and I have no expectation for Boom to be able to match that by any means.
