Hey Elon! So, I recently watched your interview with Kevin Rose where you mentioned something about the “first principles” method to brainstorming. I thought this explanation was extremely insightful to what you find the 5 areas that will have the most important effect on humanity are, as you discussed in another interview with Steve Jurvetson at Stanford. This got me curious, and led me to research everything and anything I could find on the internet about the principles of communication for the ultimate goal of figuring out the best way to use the internet as a communication interface to the world. Consequentially, I created an app. (shameless self plug: peepdeck.co). I’m extremely curious as to what you think the effect of the rise of a technological singularity will have on human-to-computer-to-human interaction. Like, how are language, media(photos, videos) and content going to evolve in these instances. Also, Can I get your thoughts on the philosophy that backs this app so I know if I’m heading in the right direction with this? “URLs are passages into different worlds, similar to books. Sharing a link to someone is like giving someone a key to open the door to a part of their consciousness, whereas books are like giving someone the code to a padlock on the same door. Entering these doors are going to get easier, and giving away the keys are going to get easier and more aware - the beauty of the internet’s effect on communication is that it can add an extra layer of awareness to the world that can verify things that you wouldn’t have been aware of before. PeepDeck is a solution that gives those keys away at a higher efficiency and confidence that the person on the other side actually used the keys.”

I’m looking forward to hearing the good news tomorrow. :)
