There is A LOT of evidence for my claim. Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Larry Page, and just about everyone within the TESCREAL movement (William MacAskill, Toby Ord, Nick Bostrom, etc.) believe in this eschatological vision. From MacAskill's 2022 book "What We Owe the Future":

The world's most feared investor. Paul Singer hasn't had a down year since 1977. His fund returned 14% annually for 46 years, going from managing $1.3 million to $72 billion through activist investing... Here are 8 of his best investing rules: (No. 6 is fascinating)

Steve Jobs announced the iPhone in January 2007. To value Apple in January of 2007 not based on the prospect of this cutting-edge device, but instead on iPod sales would’ve been a massive mistake for any investor to make. So remember: when you buy a company, you’re buying all of its future cash flows—not just the cash flows for the next 6 to 12 months. If you’re buying Tesla today, you’re investing in their AI technology. It is second to none. I gotta tell you—I don’t wanna make a confession here on air—but I am trading on material, non-public information when it comes to Tesla. Not because I’m doing anything wrong. But because when I drive the car, I have information that 99% of investors don’t have. For folks who want to invest in Tesla, I gotta tell you—just do this: go to a Tesla dealership, schedule a test drive, and use the Full Self-Driving technology. When you step out of that car, you’ll want to buy Tesla stock with both hands and feet. This technology is magic. And most investors haven’t fully appreciated that yet. cc: @elonmusk

Tim is such a blithering idiot! Hells bells, most of our greatest research in the history of our country, came out of people, from other countries. They went to our universities to do their research! The current Republican party are just brainless, MAGA cultist, who hate our country!

The private sector doesn't research til it has a clear proven short-term cycle to high profits. Late-stage research. That's obvious. They'll never pursue a drug with the potential to help people that doesn't have huge market potential. Good luck if you have a rare disease.

Rep. Tim Burchett on medical research at universities: "They want to destroy this country. The research stops when the money stops. That's bull. We ought to put it out in the private sector ... and we find out that a majority of their students aren't even American citizens? ... it's a disloyalty to our country."

Boeing just lost 8,830 plane deliveries to China because of Trump’s ridiculous tariffs over the next 20 years. Boeing is one our greatest American companies. The final assembly and supply-chain job losses will be huge. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/15/b…

“All those iPhones built in China, that those tariffs are temporarily off but they're gonna be coming right back on in another form in a month or so?” “Correct. That’s right.” Incoherent, incompetent administration through and through.

You’re not missing much. It’s industrial policy disguised as patriotism. It rewards the giants with China manufacturing and kneecaps smaller or domestic players. Looks more like picking winners than protecting American jobs.

You fix trade imbalances by producing better products than your competitors. America needs to be more like China

Now imagine China recognizes that the below outcome is the likely outcome. If you were China, what would you do? The answer, I believe, is that you would sit down with @SecScottBessent and @realDonaldTrump and make a deal, and you would do so soon. China is an incredible country with remarkably talented, innovative, hard working, and entrepreneurial people. China no longer needs trade barriers and tariffs to compete. China does not need to steal IP to create innovative companies or electric cars or to advance AI. They have proven otherwise with Alibaba, BYD, and DeepSeek and more. Imagine a world in which we do business with China on a level playing field and we cooperate to advance humanity. What a world that would be.

Who better to demonstrate a revolution against THE MAN than these two gentlemen? Power to the people! Down with artificial scarcity! @crispinhunt @Rahll
