I admire Jeff Bezos more than any other American entrepreneur, and Amazon the best company in the world as far as I can see - BUT, I am not sure all this space stuff is that great. What about global warming and the atmosphere? In terms of infrastructure, it's probably more than "Amazon winnings" can afford, but I'm think it is carbon free energy infrastructure that Earth needs, not more space stuff. That means Nuclear power on a massive scale. We build enough energy infrastructure and we can do amazing things, like - 1 - Reduce the cost of power enough to allow people's homes and abodes not to have to expend huge amounts of resources, labor and capital to retro-fit all the houses in the world with insulation. That is how they originally built most existing houses - to work with cheap energy. 2 - Desalinate water so we can quit stealing from nature and killing the environment. 3 - If we have the water we will have enough energy to pump it and distribute it around the world to bring back deserts and use them for farming and nature. 4 - We have the energy to make recycling affordable, and we can use all that stuff sitting around that no one uses to offset our mining and taking from Earth natural systems. 5 - The stuff we cannot recycle we can incinerate and reduce the volume of garbage that we generate. The economies of scale and infrastructure this would create would transform the world much more effectively than manufacturing "muscle-rockets" that we do not really need.

Almost 100 years later now Hitler and Napoleon are both being brilliantly put in perspective by John Mearsheimer. Where is German society does their brilliance come from - because they are really good engineers, and the Nazis put that engineering together to create a society as cold-blooded as the Islamic Caliphates. Thank God the Islamic empire is so fragmented today, and not as functional or unifed as the Germans.

BS ... we do not have to go to space to save the Earth. We need to massively build-out nuclear power and incease the energy available per-capita - for everyone on the planet.

This is one important thing that Elon has thought about deeply - but not come up with anything sensible. I agreed more with his earlier comments about having no choice to destroy Hamas. I don't think he defines Hamas broadly enough, of if he does he minimizes the threat to Israel. Acts of kindness are what Islamic radicals are experts are twisting. The idea that the closer Israel gets to destroying Hamas, and killing a lot of Gazans, and even West Bankers you will make their attitude towards Israel worse is ridiculous. Has he ever listened to Palestinians, or understood how their societies work? 70% of Palestinians think Hamas was justified and will next time as well. That is not valid reasoning.

You should not allow Ben Shapiro to define the debate - period. That skews the whole issue. Then on the other side, don't have one or these wackos with one name represent the "Left" whatever the Left is supposed to be. When I see this it is blatant bias, as in your description where you introduce Shapiro first. I like Ben Shapiro, but that doesn't mean I don't see he can be a vicious and oblivious liar for the Right in a debate. He often has good points, but when he doesn't he if too often allowed the steamroll with this shrill voice and machine gun rhetoric. I have no idea who Destiny is, and nor do I care. I pay close enough attention to stuff that I feel that if I have not heard of someone they should not be put up to debate against Ben Shapiro. Why should there even be a debate here? Why not just objectively have some people dig out facts and compare them objectively. Or why not have a podcast where you explore how hard it is to get information on our country, society, system, economy, etc? I remember when Michael Brown was shot by the policeman there is no requirement for police offices to forward their crime stats up to the state and federal level - so they had no idea how many police shootings there were. This leaves the country at the mercy of experts at data manipulation who are pushing some side of every issue that is never understood. We need a system that puts observational reality closer to the average citizen.

@MH-ro1lg The BLM movement, as all the "movments" we've seen, like Occupy Wall St., or #MeToo get so much push-back from the "establishment" and are lost or distorted or just plain corrupted by the media or bad management. The "Left" does not know how to manage, or use business practices to organize and focus their efforts, and then always seem vulnerable to attacks and criticism from the "Right" in these broad terms that trying to engage with is like being trapped in a giant paper bag. I agree, Michael Brown the guy who was shot was no one that anyong should want to defend - especially that case. But then late there was "Trayvon Martin" who was basically followed and engaged with to the death by George Zimmerman who had been called off by the police, and yet followed and engaged with and ultimately shot. Then it became a war over who was justified, or had the right to defend themselves. Then there was also Kyle Rittenhouse who shot two men and wounded another because he was marching along with an assault rifle and forced some kind of a confrontation that I doubt we will ever really know what happened. No question that some police with the qualified immunity laws behind them kill people for no good reason. Then there was Sandra Bland also who was sarcastic and disrespectful to a cop who killed her for not signalling a turn. And this happens all the time. I wonder why some people seem to have to be smart-alecs to the police instead of just taking the ticket and listening to them, but looking at the cases that are made public it is almost 100% black people who are killed. The cases of white people doing the most outrageous things and not getting shot for it, when a black person in the same circumstances would have scores of bullet shot into them is sickening. At least to me.

16:34 - The Hunger Plan ( i'd not heard of this before ) Chilling and nauseating. Hunger plan intended to create an artificial famine in Eastern Europe, which would have resulted in deaths of around 31 to 45 million inhabitants through forced starvation.

Sam Harris has really evolved over this career. However ... I think he is wrong about 7:00 where he says that he has resisted expressing opinions on stuff he knows nothing about. The issue is, or should be, judgement. I think Sam has the judgement to know whether his opinion is relevant in a vote on something, whereas some - say Trump supporters, they have no judgment because mentally they are howling in psycho pain and are barely human reacting to random stuff they see in the world that they have never had the intelligence to process or the judgement to reality-check. So, in order to make democracy work we have to have a way to sort people as to the value of their opinions. And saying we should not do that and allow everyone to vote - that is one solution - if everyone voted or were required to vote, but if not and we have to choose an elite to run things, what we have chosen ends up empowering a certain elite, like criminal mob bosses. Our society and economy selects for people who can manipulate and manage power, like kings, which getting rid of was the entire reason our country came into existence ... at least that is what we are told to get us to buy in. What is real, what is gaslighting?

Fascinating. You have to run before you can walk! LOL

I had an open mind about Trump ... for about 5 minutes. It has been downhill ever since to the toxic fascist threat to humanity he is today.

Do you think he did any of this engineering?

@codycast That is not so true for tech companies. For the most part, when the engineers get kicked out of management usually companies start to decline. They say this is what happened to Boeing. You are trying to pull statistic out of too broad a catagory, cherry-picking your examples. Jobs was less technical than Wozniak, but he was there from the start. A good counter-example would be Larry Ellison of Oracle. Musk is not helping his companies with his erratic behavior or extreme political BS opinions. He is certainly not helping his employees by not being a friend to the working man. If every company in the US did this our economy would collapse.

@incognitofellow Ignorant is the only word for you. The Tesla was engineered before he bought the company. Now get lost.

@mattsparks5957 Of course it was.

@MokeAnit What do you think they were doing before Elon Musk bought the company, knitting doilies?

Cool, this is the kind of crazy I can relate to!! ;-)

Ayn Rand was such a complete fake, a manufactured icon of the Right, and when that succeeded they want on to create FOX News and all kinds of other brainwashing ops against Americans to undermine democracy by calling it communism, or collectivism.
