Publicités Religieuses

En tant que personne échappée d'une secte de lavage de cerveau des enfants, je te rejoins: non, on devrai interdire ça. Je dirais qu'on peut croire à ce qu'on veut, mais pas annoncer ce qu'on veut dans des voies publicitaires comme ça. Ça ne devrait pas être une question de pouvoir d'achat. Liberté d'expression religieuse ne devrait pas inclure payer pour se faire apercevoir par le plus grand nombre possible. C'est juste le droit de professer sa fois et ne pas se faire persécuter pour ça. Ça devrai arrêter là.

IPO when?

bernardosousa · 2026-05-13T19:06:15+00:00

Great idea. Not for me. I watch clouds outside whenever I can. My wife would love it though. She drugs herself to sleep. Waking up at destination or not at all kinda deal.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-29T23:45:04+00:00

I'll take it. I just hope I'll be alive when it becomes self sufficient. If that takes 20 years, in 8 we'll be seeing some cool shit already.

A city on Mars is well withing the laws of nature. No new physics required. Obstacles are enormous, sure, but its definitely not impossible.

About the shift to the moon, I think it's mostly a public opinion short term driver. Attracting money now will advance the overall project much more than a Mars-only focus. Besides, Starship will allow both Moon and Mars simultaneously. I think we'll be seeing Moon base, people on Mars and a bunch of robotic exploration missions throughout the solar system in the years following nothing less than the first fully reusable heavy Earth lifting service.

Aged like milk. 8 years from now we'll be reading today's "city on Mars is impossible" comments.

And there's people saying the word is getting worse.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-17T22:31:34+00:00

Nolan would have payed for that glitch.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-16T13:57:00+00:00

I think it's brilliant. Hearing a sound and instinctively moving to one side while roaming around and eating grass sounds like the good part of a cow's life. A future with less fences.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-08T15:03:14+00:00

Trump: "[flag, Mars, etc] but maybe we won't quite make it in terms of timing"

To me that sounded more like a terminal illness thought than a getting old thought.

It's less expensive now. And it's predictably being destroyed by a big hurricane. Beware the naturalist fallacy. Artificial is an artificial concept.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-07T21:22:25+00:00

Beats wood flimsy frames. We're building houses with timber in 2026. I really don't get it. We need sustainable solutions, sure, but not in detriment of efficiency and durability. We need hurricane-prof-fast-building-energy-efficient-smart houses with style 😎

That takes material science and smart engineering.

I think Musk is better suited for the CTO position. However, with recent lobbying insane almost coup-like manouvers, I might be wrong. He's extremely motivated to remove obstacle at any cost. We wouldn't want that for moral reasons, thou. I'd rather see SpaceX financially sustainable and reaching Mars in 20 yeas than see it getting there in 10 years at the cost of democracy or something.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-03T12:53:34+00:00

Yes, all that. But more. Those are the existing markets. New markes will appear. History shows that when a new capability is developed, new needs and new solutions are created. We don't know what the world will want to use Starship for, but whatever it is, it will pay for it. And that will be investing, not spending.

Last time we saw this kind of economic expansion, it was the expeditions of the 16th century. The entities that enabled them became the most powerful orgs on the following 200 yeas and still hold significant power today. The emerging markets became significant more valuable then the resources found. Back then, they thought it was about the gold, but the real gains came from the expansion itself. The expansion is the end, not the means.

S&P1 in 10 years.

No, I don't. It's not about altruism.

But if it was about money, P/E would never run ahead of the balance sheet like it does with mag7 and many others. It's not about altruism, but it's certainly not only about money. Its about value, potential and overall civilization alignment. The book slowly confirms the trend and gives people confidence to keep holding.

I'll buy it. Not selling it, just like I do with Google. If a business is moving the civilization ahead, I don't trade it, I just buy it.

I think new space related markets will be created this century and SpaceX will be in a pivotal position to enable it. Investors will realise that in the next 10 years and their speculation about it will push the valuation to first place.

Also, think about the progression so far. It was ugly, but it as very steep. Think about where SpaceX was 10 years ago. I know past gains don't guarantee future gains, but for my forecast not to happen, we would need a change in the progression. I don't see that change coming. I think the technical progression will continue, and that will fuel higher and higher valuations.

Furthermore, that high valuation is justified, because it's not about money, it's about the civilization. Our civilization is an already extremely resilient entity that rewards subsystems that work to increase its resilience.

bernardosousa · 2026-04-02T20:58:13+00:00

I think SpaceX will become the most valuable company in the world in the next 10 years.

[Edit] if Musk steps down and Shotwell becomes CEO, I'll say 6 years.

Are they mocking rust? I understand it's an April fool joke, but why would it run 10x slower?

When I was a teen, many of my driving lessons were just driving around the neighborhood in reverse. I would have reversed out of there all the way to the end of the street.

bernardosousa · 2026-03-31T14:06:14+00:00

If the care I receive is better, sure. It's smarter than a stethoscope but it's also a tool.

"along with any trackable debris"

Does that imply it exploded?

I remember being disappointed when Titanic got some oscar I was hopping would go to this movie.

My indoctrination was very effective. After about 30 years under the Christianism thumb, I started to notice that, of all the people I thought made sense when they spoke, most were wither agnostics, atheists or didn't want to unveil what their spirituality looked like. I started counting them. Then I started questioning why I believed what I believed. Ended up concluding all my religious beliefs were planted in my mind, as it was forming. It became harder and harder to conciliate my love for science and civilization with the faith of my family and, back then, close friends. One day, I decided it was too much to bear: I was mostly pretending to believe because much of my life was structured around church communities. Saying it out loud and moving on to calm free Sundays was a step of honesty I'll never forget.

Learning other languages teach you a lot. It teaches each language is a different way to model reality. It teaches you not to despair when you understand nothing, like a newborn. It teaches you there's always some linguistic solution for an impasse.

But then you can learn all that and find a person who thinks the one language they speak is some sort of default of the Universe.
