“… yet nobody in tech is paying attention.” Bro I’m literally thinking about this everyday & shouting about it non-stop on x dot com the everything app (again, great piece @slow)
Undersea infrastructure is the single most fragile layer of the global economy yet nobody in tech is paying attention. Here are the facts: > Big Tech secretly owns half of the world’s subsea internet > China’s shipbuilding outpaces the U.S. by 232× > Deep sea mining is already

Still thinking about this event. The energy was incredible. The debate, top notch. More please.
The Hamilton Society is San Francisco’s premier debate society. The brilliant @yaronbrook recently challenged us to debate on the topic “Christianity will destroy the West”. The motion did not pass. But we thank Yaron for his great contributions on the night. Onwards.

I am raising my 2030 target on Nvidia $NVDA from $10 trillion to $20 trillion market cap. It may sound extreme, but my new analysis lays out a data-driven, fundamentally grounded case for how Nvidia can realistically reach a $20 trillion market cap by 2030. Link in bio.

The ocean is a multi-trillion dollar economic frontier. It underpins food, trade, security, and climate, and we currently understand and control a tiny fraction of it. The last decade built the infrastructure for space. The next decade will do the same for the sea.

All roads lead to becoming ocean-pilled
> 80% of the ocean remains unmapped or unexplored. Only 240k of est 2.2m marine species are identified. Kelp forests use a language we barely understand; hosting hundreds of interdependent species. For all the unknowns, it feels deeply familiar. A majestic, curious mystery.
