Randall Munroe On Being Good With The Numbers

Randall Munroe going through what people like Elon Musk and Geoff Bezos do to map out the future of humanity, and figure how to make money from it, except he's not worrying about the profitability of the exercise. He points out that it is thought-provoking, however.


But consider what a 1 MWatt Solar Furnace like the one at Odeillo in the French Pyrenees costs. It was built in the seventies. And think about these cooperative projects and others like them: How Not to Deal With Space Junk and Near Earth Asteroid Ideas Shifting ... and ask yourself, well, what is it about the way people like Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey and Geoff Bezos think that makes them such total alpha-males? Is it because they care about the trees? So What's The Difference Between Capitalism and Socialism? and why aren't these sorts of business called socialist? Sorry We Missed You. Come on, this stuff is not rocket science, is it?
