I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

 

If you are wondering what else to read on that website, I highly recommend the two part article on AI. Link: http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html

I wish all super rich people were like Elon Musk! He is changing the world for the better.

 

 

If more people would be like him we'd already be trekking through the stars instead of obsessing about the latest iProduct.

I'd happily settle for them being passive instead of active in this regard :)

 

That's because you are from Eastern Europe (just like I am). Our past is dark, and our past leaders (read tyrants) were scum. We just can't trust anyone with a vision anymore, and more often than not we are paranoid about anyone who dares to have one.

You didn't understand me. I wasn't clear enough, I admit. What I meant, if all of the top richest started doing absolutely no-thing right now, it would be a positive change already as often being rich involves constant investments which contemporarily just happen to circle around: takeovers of smaller companies, takeover of natural resources (including water!), speculative actions and other forms of virtual money making etc. And of course spreading the expenses all the way down, to consumers and natural environment.

Yeah Musk is brilliant. Guy doesn't even own a home though, what's up with that.

 

I imagine he travels a lot. I would also imagine him to be one of the first to emigrate to Mars or Europa or wherever, once he makes that viable in about 80 years or so.
