[@panpiper]

Eighteen minutes is just way too short to do justice to all Elon Musk has done and is doing.

[@Biographics]

How long would you realistically watch?

[@panpiper]

Well, I'm a total Elon Musk fanboy. I would take a bullet for the man and die happy. "I" would watch a two hour biography of Elon Musk, and watch it with the same verve as I would a Marvel Blockbuster. I would 'pay' for it! But I am a sample of one and probably not indicative of the general populace.

[@beachcomber2008]

@@panpiper Indicative of me as well. I would also like to be about thirty years younger, too.

[@panpiper]

@@beachcomber2008 Stick around another thirty years and you just might be... younger. Some 'very' interesting things will be happening in the next thirty years, like singularity and mature molecular manufacturing. To get there, look into keto diet (or at least low carb), fasting for autophagy, get in shape, quit bad habits, look both ways before you cross the street, don't let your ego start a fight, etc.. There is no reason you can't make it into your nineties. And if you are still here in thirty years, there is every possibility of achieving biological immortality. Beyond that, who knows... A nanotech substrate to your neuronal brain structure to give you the mental acuity of a super computer might prove to be such an improvement over your chemical systems that your consciousness, memory and the personality the two engender, might shift to preferentially using the nanotech substrate as opposed to your 'much' slower chemical systems. Having done so, your consciousness could literally become distributed and/or even backed up, so even accidents or murder couldn't actually kill you. The future will be 'interesting' and there is no reason you couldn't see it.

I knew nothing of this man before watching this video. Yes, I live under a rock. He has quite the knack for success in technology, I'd like to see what new ideas he will come up with in the future. The only thing I question is whether Nikola Tesla would be satisfied with those cars not having perpetual motion machines guiding them. He was quite particular. (edit: typos)

[@moiquiregardevideo]

If alive today, Nikola Tesla would try to feed the entire internet to a neural network trying brut force instead of applying the multiple steps of data processing as seen in carbon based brain systems. Nicola would also invest all his money in nuclear fusion, which is a slow and low yield power source. It is a good news for us and all other form a life which depend on a similar star to provide energy to their planet, that the sun will barely consume 20% of itself in the next 5 billions years. It is said that the sun as a metabolism lower than a cold blooded lizard. If you scale the total mass of the sun vs the energy it produce to a rattle snake, the serpent would win in term of total amount of energy produced. Of course, the snake get its source from the rodents it eat while the sun don't get new supply of hydrogen. The dream of transmitting electricity thru the air was a money drain.

I don't know that Tony Stark is based on Elon Musk, because I think IronMan appeared in comic form, with that story line, at least a decade before Elon was born. Having said that, he is about as close to Tony Stark as anybody in the real world can get. I am an old bloke now, but I find it hard to think of any other person in whole world, I envy or admire more. If I could 'be' somebody else, I'd love to be Elon Musk. Going back to that idea, if Howard Hughes, the Aviator, had a son very late in life, and that son grew into Elon Musk... You'd pretty much have IronMan. He'd inherit Hughes helicopters and aircraft, a defence conglomerate, and be a manufacturer of advanced weapon systems for the us gov & mil. He'd simply be stepping into the family business. It's IronMan, letter perfect!

AI can be dangerous, we just don't know yet. That's a bit scary.

[@thermonuclearlabcoat3701]

I appreciate this.

hey Simon I love ur both channel

[@Wysiwyg43]

Thoroughly enjoyed that Biographic. Musk is a focused man. I still can't understand his ex- wives with their major complaint being boredom. I look forward to whatever project Musk is involved in.

[@annettefournier9655]

wysiwyg43 It wasn't boredom. It was his absence from the relationships even when physically present.

[@ricksmith6637]

perhaps he was too involved in his work to pay suffenct attention to her and his family

[@Jay-jb2vr]

The wives weren't technological geniuses like him. So they became bored.

[@MAJmufin]

Should have gotten hobbies ey?

wysiwyg43 unfortunately even when he is a genius he has bumped into gold diggers in the past. /:

Read the book by Robert Heinlein "The Man Who Sold The Moon". Pretty much describes Musk's life. Amazingly parallel.
