  1. At 16:40 Bill says. . . In America: "They don't cut down the tall trees." Obviously lives in a different America than Christopher Columbus, George Washington, and Elon Musk's public personas do. While it is obvious to me at least, that if even one of Musk's far-out projects reaches fruition: Self-driving electric cars, space exploitation and exploration at an exciting pace, a computer/human interface, affordable AI directed humanoid robots, affordable internet access from remote locations, his threatened age of abundance, he will have achieved an Odin-like historical stature, beyond the likes of Henry Ford, Edison, and perhaps even Einstein. I personally can attest to the salubrious effect of an age of abundance to one's outlook, having spent part of my life in the so-called Age of Affluence, back in the sixties and seventies. In retrospect I am told, by the media experts it was not really an age of affluence but one of high inflation and many cultural challenges. A laughable group at best (those media darlings). Affluence is mostly a state of mind, or to be more honest, a state of hormones which inculcates a reciprocal state of mind. Status, and power are two tried and true ways to enhance this hormonal state even into advanced age. But it's not the only way. Basically that's what the sixties was all about: breaking the bonds of group imposed templates that regulated neuropeptide/endorphin enrichment of the subjective state. All the tropes of the "Age of Aquarius" are related to freeing the individual from these biochemical shackles posing as cultural norms: psychedelic drugs, spirituality and personal growth, humanistic psychological movements, experimental sexuality, and on and on. Of course for better or worse, these organically derived cultural norms had been both themselves mutating and directing this internal metabolic rewards system in humans since before the first non-instinctual behavior in our species, and like most things human, have their origins in the so-called "survival instinct".
