This has a lot of good issues and vision. You can probably get the core ideas after watching a short while (Though at the end he talks about some possible alternatives).
He does go on and on and probably could say everything with much less words. But the bottom line is he's probably right unless there is some radical new technology / technique that shows up. And if that happens, all the Big HyperScaler companies go bust.

Mars - The Search Begins (1974): #Mars, including speculation on what form that life might take, many of the core ideas are still current 1/2 century on. The film was made just before NASA's Viking landers were launched in 1975 to begin the search but after the great success of the orbiter Mariner 9 - Olympus Mons was still called Nix Olympica and model makers believed that the sky over the Martian landscape was a deep blue.

99% of stakeholder "ideas" are just copying a feature they saw on a competitor's product. And the features they notice most are the ones that yell at their users the loudest.
Now all software (not just consumer apps, but also metrics dashboards) yells at you, and trains you to attend to its yelling. Strategy becomes dominated by the overriding need to make the good number go up.

Australia should ban *everyone* from social media next, and maybe also make it difficult to leave the country without a Good Reason (beyond the extent to which it already is). Maybe the UK could follow suit. Then, Ireland would fall in line, because they're not creative enough to come up with their own ideas for laws. Just imagine the harmony in the Anglosphere thereafter.

What to cook for the Super Bowl: Recipes and ideas from The Athletic staff https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7011252/2026/02/01/super-bowl-recipes-2026-the-pulse/
@hex@kolektiva.social2025-12-20 23:22:58
So in another dream I just woke up from, I was talking to someone about "the idea problem" (that it's becoming harder to monitize ideas, from a vox article written by an AI cooked reporter).
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-it-could-happen-here-30717896/episode/executive-disorder-white-house-weekly-46-313675864/
Basically, I was arguing that the majority of inventions target men because patriarchy puts economic control in men's hands. As men have started to help more with childcare, there have been more inventions related to childcare. (I don't have any idea if this is true. Seems legit, but I'm just relating my dream. I think I was also oversimplifying a bit to "men" and "women" because of my audience, but anyway it was a dream.) There's actually more low-hanging fruit, I pointed out, related to making care work easier.
So I argued that the real problem was a failure to invest in research into solving that problem. Today there are all these boondoggles built around killing people. What if, instead of all this government research into killing people, we dumped a ton of money into making it easier to support a household? That would be great for the economy. (Being asleep, I seem to have forgotten that working people need money.)
In the blur of being just awake I started thinking about how you could kickstart the US economy by taking the money from the AI boondoggle and other autonomous murder bots and create something like a program to build robots for housekeepers. You'd still be funding tech with government money, so the same horrible people get paid, but you're now actually solving real problems. It wouldn't even matter if it was a boondoggle, honestly. Just dumping money into something other than murdering people is good enough.
I imagined first if there was a program to fund a robot housecleaner, like robot dog with AI some laundry pickup, that would be provided, free of charge, to help people with children. It would work the same as the military boondoggle where a private company makes the government buy a piece of hardware from them and then also pay them to service it for some number of years. But instead of that hardware sitting around waiting to kill someone, it would be getting brought to people's houses to help them.
Then I thought, hey, you could even boost the economy more if you just had government funding for doulas and housecleaners and paid them a living wage. Hey, you could really kickstart the economy by nationalizing healthcare and including doula support as part of all births. Oh, and you could also just include the optional household help for families with children until the kids turn 18.
None of this is perfect (I don't actually think most of this is possible from any state), but the point is that it's actually wildly easy to figure out all kinds of ways to invest in the economy and monitize ideas as long as you aren't entirely focused on the same old "make money from spying on people and killing them." Funny that. Like they said in the podcast, maybe "finding ideas" isn't the problem.
Hope you enjoyed the weird semi-awake brain dump/rant.

The Avi Lewis AMA on Reddit this afternoon was interesting. He didn't answer my question, and I'll eventually get over it, but he was swinging for the fences with his ideas. His responses would resonate I think with MastoCanucks as they pretty much call for the government to get more involved in providing real solutions. Including building 1M public homes, tackling U.S. ownership of our media, getting rid of FPTP with electoral reform, guaranteed income programs, publicly owned options for major business categories (banks, grocery, phones, etc). Those big ideas could wake up and excite voters while at the same time facing huge opposition from big businesses and wealthy Canadians who would face a new wealth tax.
I hope he wins the leadership. At the very least he'll push the Liberals to be bolder, and maybe even lead a minority government that could bring some of his ideas to fruition.

This episode of Ideas is powerful. Still - and not to minimize the experience of veterans - I'd really love a parallel series focused on the moms and dads, partners, and kids who stayed behind.

Presidents have always sent people to lead the Pentagon who respect the institutions and personnel of the armed forces,
not least because Americans tend to bristle at any sign that an administration does not unreservedly support the men and women of the U.S. military.
(Just ask Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, both of whom were castigated for such supposed disrespect.)
In his first term, Donald Trump sent General James Mattis, a veteran of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,

People up a few levels in org hierarchies are always coming up with ideas that sound great and make sense in a Powerpoint or on a spreadsheet, but are actually terrible ideas if you understand how they’ll play out.
This is only human! Management is about seeing things zoomed out — and all problems look smaller at a distance. It’s just a hazard of the job. Anyone in such a role is susceptible, even the best; what distinguishes •good• managers / administrators is that they mindfully, actively counter this self-trap.

I find unending inspiration in history's giants who reshaped the world. Tchaikovsky's compositions and Churchill's determination offer profound lessons that endure. Their legacies resonate through time. Which historical figure inspires you the most? Let's exchange ideas and learn together! 🎶📚 #InspiredByHistory #EndlessLessons

When people talk about the Enlightenment as if it were an intellectual garden party where everyone sipped wine and agreed about reason, they're missing the part where producing and distributing ideas was (in fact) dangerous and thankless work.
Today we have more information than any civilization in history.
But aside from Wikipedia, we've organized the sum total of our collective knowledge into formats optimized for making people angry at strangers in pursuit of private …

This DHS funding battle is part of a bigger question Democrats must answer as they fight to regain power.
Large sections of the Democratic base are now echoing calls to “abolish ICE.”
Some Democratic leaders, like New York Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader,
are pushing back against this with much more tepid, unwieldy, and frankly pretty weak ideas to “restrain, reform, and restrict” the agency.
ICE is just over 20 years old, formed as part of the sec…
