I did NOT find that clip, please give a time stamp. But several times he used variations of "high degree of protection", and NOT anything implying 100%". He had to speak thousands of times around the US, and maybe out of those thousands he ONCE slipped, I don't know, but WHY do you IGNORE the 999 out of 1000???? That's spinning on your part, Repent to Jesus or bake!

simply aren't enough launch customers to justify the valuation and starlink can't make that up because they're only so many people in the world who can afford $100 a month for internet and don't have access to high quality wired internet.

Militaries and wealthy people in bombed-out areas seems to be a growing customer base. Invady McTintface and Bibi McZionbribe are leading the way.

That being said, it's stupid to try to be both an AI company and a space company. Split focus like that has rarely worked well for large companies over the longer run. GM once tried to become an enterprise software company, for example.

Quality literature is generally viewed as those works generated by literate people. Authors who understand the form and context and audience well enough to produce a work with lasting value.

IMHO, everything you just said boils down to "it's a matter of taste" or "I know it when I see it."

On one level, I don't disagree. Taking two fantasy authors I enjoy, Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss, I would say that Patrick Rothfuss is the better literary writer, but at the same time, I enjoy Sanderon's books more and I enjoy Sanderson as an author far more. Both authors are highly literate and knowledgeable, and their works are clearly highly influenced and referential to many other works, tropes, and so forth. I would say Rothfuss's writing is more artful, but I don't know how to quantify that.

"Lasting value" is, just like, your opinion man, and (IMHO) boils down to spectrum of enjoyment.

Some rich oligarchs just want to stay rich or get even wealthier, others - like Thiel and Musk - want to make everyone who isn't one of them serfs. There is a very big difference between these two types. And if you can see it, you are either stupid or for some deluded reason think that when the other kind does reach their goal of technofascism, you will be on the oppressor side and not on the oppressed side.
