100 sats \ 2 replies \ @Solomonsatoshi 14h \ parent \ on: You are not smart enough to make it. Neither am I. - David Shapiro AI
Firstly Elon can forward me a modest portion of his Bitcoin Treasury, lets say 100 million sats, and then I will give him my advice.
Alternatively send me a Cybertruck.
I need him to know I am still very fucked off he reneged on his offer to sell Cybertrucks for Sats, after I had already paid a deposit!
Seriously, not sure what I could advise him - there seems to be no easy way to avoid the power and force of an economy that is organised from the top down with extreme determination to create the most efficient productive infrastructure and manufacturing economy. Most of the CCP poliburo are trained as engineers.
Top western producers are seemingly unable to resist the short term profits that come from working with China, even if they know the longer term loss it nearly always results in.
The west is now so far behind all I can do is constantly raise the subject, against the constant cries of denial and disbelief and wonder if there is now certain inevitability about the ongoing decline of western civilisation.
To be fair imo Elon and Trump are aware of the problem and are trying to address it, but its a very challenging and complex one.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect is the ignorance and denial of the general public.
Peter Hesslers book 'Country Driving' should be compulsory reading for all westerners who want to at least start to understand this problem.
And then we might learn how to eat bitter (Ku Gua) required to fix the problem- but it seems unlikely given our centuries long accumulated sense of entitlement...

Right. Except now that you had attention, you blew it, because you literally had nothing to say - except begging (?!?) It took me serious effort to read after the fifth word.
I understand that you don't feel taken serious at times here on SN, but let's be honest, have you actually given thought to all this? You challenge this same thing over and over but you don't have any solution. How on earth is that possible?
PS: Do you really believe that Elon is a short-term operator?!? haha

Horsewater!
I believe Elon is a realist.
And that he already understands the problem while most westerners don't.
Have indicated a general basis of solution for readers who are willing to face it.
Elon took a similar approach and got shit for it too.
The fact you don't see that, only reinforces my argument.
If people cannot see and acknowledge a problem, they are most likely not ready to hear let alone adopt any solutions.
No hurry, western civilisation is all that's at stake.
