     Quand il était enfant, il pensait que tout le monde était comme lui. Le jour où Elon Musk s'est rendu compte qu'il était plus intelligent que les autres : c'est quand il a réalisé que la plupart des gens ne savaient pas comment fonctionnait un interrupteur. Ce qu'il se passait derrière les murs, en fait, quand on allumait la lumière. “Je pensais que tout le monde savait ça” a-t-il dit un peu choqué en découvrant que : non. Et c'est la première chose à savoir : Elon Musk n'est pas comme nous. Il a un QI de 155, déjà (pour info, celui d'Albert Einstein était de 160). Et il a une fortune gravitant, à l'heure où on a enregistré ce podcast, autour de 200 milliards de dollars. Jusque-là, vous savez qu'il est à la tête de Tesla et de SpaceX, qu'il a rendu la voiture électrique cool (en gros), qu'il veut coloniser Mars dans un futur proche, et qu'il a racheté Twitter dans une histoire sans fin. Mais est-ce que vous saviez qu'il a grandi avec un père diabolique, qu'il a (vraiment) peur de l'extinction de l'humanité, que ses employés ont mis en place des techniques de survie pour travailler avec lui, et qu'il a, à ce jour…9 enfants ?!  Dans cet épisode de Scandales, la journaliste Marion Galy-Ramounot vous propose de découvrir qui est l'homme derrière le milliardaire de la Silicon Valley. À son micro se succèdent :  - Tim Higgins, journaliste au Wall Street Journal, auteur de Power Play, sur lemanagement d'Elon Musk - Julie Colombel, psychologue clinicienne spécialiste de l'autisme  - Luc Mary, historien et auteur du livre Elon Musk, l'homme qui invente notre futur. Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

This era marks the single worst period in human history, a time of isolation, mutation, rampant AI revolts, and the chaos that shaped the Imperium we know today. In this video, we'll explore how humanity fell from a golden age of technological marvels and galactic dominance to a scattered and fractured existence, barely surviving on a crumbling legacy.Join us as we dissect the Age of Strife from its origins in M25, through the devastating Cybernetic Revolt, the rise of rampant mutation and psykers, and the oppressive Warp storms that cut humanity off from the stars. We'll explore how the birth of Slaanesh forever altered the balance of Chaos and how Terra itself descended into warlordism, with techno-barbarians ruling the remnants of once-great civilizations.We'll also look at Mars and the birth of the Cult Mechanicus, the tragic isolation of human colonies, and how the Imperium's deep-seated fear of AI, mutants, and psykers stem from this dark period.

    Linda Moulton Howe has been investigating reports of unusual activity in Antarctica for many years. She has interviewed numerous alleged whistleblowers who claim to have firsthand knowledge of strange phenomena and hidden structures in the icy continent. While physical evidence is scarce, Howe's recent focus has been on testimonies and documents that suggest a hidden history and possible ongoing presence of non-human entities in Antarctica. Here's a summary of her recent claims: * "Spartan 1" and "Spartan 2" Testimony: Howe interviewed two individuals, allegedly with military backgrounds, who claim to have encountered evidence of ancient civilizations and advanced technology in Antarctica. "Spartan 1", a retired Navy SEAL, described a massive, artificially-created structure beneath the ice, containing advanced technology and strange hieroglyphs. "Spartan 2", a Marine, corroborated these claims and linked the hieroglyphs to similar symbols found on the Moon and Mars. * Ancient Ruins and Artifacts: Howe has presented alleged evidence of ancient ruins and artifacts discovered in Antarctica, suggesting a history far older than conventionally believed. These include pyramids, megalithic structures, and advanced technology that predates known human civilizations. * UFO Activity and Alien Bases: Howe has compiled reports of increased UFO activity in Antarctica, suggesting the presence of active alien bases or operations in the region. These reports often come from pilots, scientists, and military personnel stationed in Antarctica. It's important to note that Howe's evidence primarily relies on eyewitness testimony and alleged leaked documents, which are difficult to independently verify. Admiral Byrd and Operation Highjump: Admiral Richard E. Byrd led Operation Highjump, a large-scale naval expedition to Antarctica in 1946-47. While officially a scientific mission, some believe it had ulterior motives, including investigating rumors of a Nazi base and exploring the possibility of advanced technology hidden in the region. Howe and other researchers point to Byrd's cryptic statements after the expedition, where he allegedly described encountering a powerful force that could fly from pole to pole with incredible speed. Some interpret this as evidence of advanced technology or even contact with non-human entities. Connecting the Dots: Howe attempts to connect these events, suggesting that Byrd's expedition may have stumbled upon evidence of an ancient civilization or alien presence in Antarctica, and that subsequent expeditions and whistleblower testimonies further support this theory. Critical Evaluation: While Howe's work is intriguing, it's crucial to approach it with a critical eye. Her evidence is often circumstantial and relies heavily on unverifiable testimony. Mainstream science and governments have not acknowledged her claims, and many dismiss them as conspiracy theories. However, the mystery surrounding Antarctica and the lack of full transparency from governments fuel continued speculation and interest in Howe's investigations. It's important to keep an open mind while also demanding rigorous evidence and critical analysis when evaluating extraordinary claims like these.

Billions of years ago, Mars had vast oceans and a suitable climate for life. Today, it's a cold, barren desert, but NASA's rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance, are unearthing fascinating clues about its ancient history. Could Mars have once harboured life?

As a former astronaut with three space shuttle flights under her belt – including one flight as commander – Pam has made lasting contributions to human spaceflight. She's also a veteran of the U.S. Air Force as a retired colonel. In her most recent role, Pam helped shape the NASA's focus on long-term strategies, including Moon to Mars exploration, space sustainability, and a long-term vision for NASA's future as an organization. Now, as she prepares to pass the torch, Pam joins us to reflect on her NASA career and share insights from her time as a pilot, astronaut, and public servant.

As this podcast goes to air, we've moved through the first full moon of the year, which offers us a time to go deep within, feel our emotions, and access the deepest resources of our intuitive selves. What is your soul saying to you? Where are you on your path? Or are you just going along… doing your routine.. trying to stay ahead of it all? Without asking these questions.. and just keeping yourself on the treadmill of life.. it can be very exhausting.. and it can create burnout. There are many ways you can shift out of your old ways.. the limited beliefs of your mind… and open up to expanding your consciousness as we have been talking back over the last few months. We are at a precipice right now with so much change coming forward. Full moons are just one of the things that cosmically push and pull on us.. all the planets are shifting and creating a parade in the sky that vibrates out to us. We are going through major planetary shifts.  Across social media, many sources have claimed that January 25 will feature a rare alignment of planets in the night sky. but really this planetary "parade" is not confined to just one or two nights.   Throughout this month, on any clear evening, we have been able to witness a giant arc of six planets — Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn — gracing Earth's skies. A "planetary alignment," is where multiple planets gather in proximity on the same side of the sun. Keep in mind that this lineup isn't as precise as the viral videos claim, and Mercury and Earth will be out of sync with the group.   While the term "planetary alignment" describes planets clustering on one side of the sun, the term "planetary parade" is less formal and simply means that multiple planets will be visible in the sky at the same time. Throughout January and February 2025, stargazers will get a "planet parade" view in the evening sky. All planets except for Mercury will be visible after nightfall, so it's still a great opportunity to get outside and look up.  I use the stargazer app.. so much fun to note where they are around me. Now not only do we have our calendar new year… we also have the year of Year of the Dragon drawing to a close with the Year of the Snake is almost upon us. The date usually falls on the second new moon after the Winter Solstice. The snake, symbol of transformation, coils at the heart of the zodiac, bathed in ethereal light. The elements swirl in the cosmic backdrop. The Year of the Snake 2025, beginning on January 29, promises to bring wisdom, adaptability, and definitely a sense of transformation. Transformation: The snake's ability to shed its skin represents letting go of the past and embracing new opportunities. Elegance: The snake is often seen as a figure of elegance and mystery.  Good fortune: The snake is often associated with good fortune.  Chinese astrology, each year is also associated with one of the five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. 2025 will be the Year of the Wood Snake which is believed to bring abundance and prosperity. There are many stories and fabels associated with the wood snake. One that I like is a story that tells of how Snakes are associated with wealth and prosperity. According to legend, a snake once saved a village from drought by bringing a precious jewel to the surface of the earth. From that day on, Snakes were revered and considered lucky animals. So .. get ready for even more shifts.  But here's the thing... how you approach these changes is key… Having a Spiritual Practice can help you to notice the old patterns that are keeping you stuck and allows you the energy tools to create the new pathways.. the neurons in your brain to help establish these new ways for you. Change is possible but you do need the skills and tools that a Spiritual Practice offers you.  We have all heard The Einstein quote regarding solving a problem which is: "We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that we used when we created them.". This essentially means that to solve a complex issue, you need to approach it with a new perspective and not remain stuck in the same mindset that created the problem in the first place.  Want to break free?  What to learn these tools for you.  Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me and let's talk about the #1 thing that is keeping you stuck and what you can do to break free and create the shifts you want to see for this year. Click here. In today's episode, I wanted to round out our journey through the Akashic Realm.  I think the reason I love working in the Akashic Records is that in this Realm we are able to do very deep healing. The more you work in this realm you begin to recognize the shift in your consciousness, which scientifically means, a shift in how your brain is working. One of these states that we can easily access is called Gamma Consciousness. Gamma brain waves are one of the fastest brain wave patterns produced inside your brain. It is often said this is the brain pattern that shamans, gurus, yogis use to shape shift and/or reach enlightenment. As I have been learning and practicing, in the gamma consciousness state, we achieve this station of healing, which can be pictured as a broad vertical ray of light. From the state of highest grace that holds only truth, the heavens and higher dimensions, in which light, sound, and date move faster than the speed of light (luminally) akin to wave particles. The Higher Mind, primarily through the pineal gland, runs your higher brain. By accessing the Ascending Charkas (8th and 9th) the Gamma Consciousness is called in along with the Absolute Scalar Waves and the Higher Frequency of Harmonic Color. Absolute scalar waves are healing streams of grace. They are a type of light that has been present in pre-life, pre-universe.. the big bang. It is an electromagnetic field that can be used for healing working with the chakra fields of energy. I perceive them as coming from the highest place of light and love. As I learned from working with Cyndi Dale this pure scalar energy is found within light and sound waves that can penetrate any solid object and travel faster than the speed of light. They can even pass through the earth from one side to another with no loss of strength. I have experienced them by simply calling them in and allowing the healing to occur. To me, the energy feels like a fast vibration, light, heat, spreading out to create a pure energy of potentiality where change is made. All we have to do is to align Spirit to Spirit and simply call them in.  Perhaps you have noticed when we go into meditation and open up to the Akashic Realm I call in Absolute light and streams of grace… and it happens.. quickly. So this allows us to get out of what I call waking state consciousness and expands our abilities to tap into our Soul energy. As we work with these vibrations in the Akashic Realm, you become one with the divine.. you are guided to the truth within your soul.. there is no judgment… which helps you to remember you are an infinite Soul… so freeing… as we so often think we are the physical presence of our body.. and only want the eyes can see in our physical world.. but we are so much more. The records open us up to our soul and all the many lifetimes we have lived.. to the wisdom we carry.. to infinite possibilities. I'll share an experience that I've been working with… I know I've talked about many during these episodes… mostly ones of healing.. but this one is about how we can connect with our star people.  For me, it's connecting with the my Lemurian Guides.

    Quietmind Astrology — Learn Vedic Astrology with Jeremy Devens

    Today, I'm reflecting on the life and legacy of filmmaker David Lynch, who was born on January 20, 1946, at 3am in Missoula, Montana, and who just passed away on January 15, 2025. Lynch has been a great influence on me—not just through his groundbreaking, surreal films like Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, and Eraserhead, but also through his work with meditation and bringing mindfulness into schools, which inspired me to do the same throughout the 2010s. In this episode, I'll explore his life and creative process through the lens of his Vedic birth chart, diving into the astrological patterns that shaped his artistic vision and spiritual practices. Whether you're a fan of Lynch's work or just curious about astrology's ability to reveal life patterns and gifts, this episode offers an insightful blend of reflection, research, and inspiration.

    Going Where We've Never Been Before: 2025 Astrology Forecast

    Veteran astrologer and Mystical Messages host Hilary dives into the cosmic nitty gritty for the first half of 2025.  The New Year definitely promises to be a ride; so hold on tight to the steadfast constants in your life.  Interior planetary retrogrades kick off 2025 with Motivating Mars in nurturing Cancer the Crab.  From the outset, the year demands (or invites) change.  With Powerful Pluto opposing Motivating Mars, we are pushed out of our comfort zones.  The old ways simply will not work.  Pluto joins the Moon in avant garde Aquarius from Day One. Now in Aquarius through 2043, Pluto prompts our invention, innovation and non-mainstream approach to life. There is no rush. All three interior planets Mercury, Mars and venus will be retrograde, back to back, now through mid-April, giving us ample time to feel into how we can reinvent ourselves and rise to the demands posed by 2025.  Take advantage of these slow motion planets because by the end of April, shock and awe greet us at nearly every turn. What makes 2025 so cosmically unusual is the planetary changing of the guard en masse.  Fully five outer planets change sign within eight months-time.  This is very rare indeed. Why?  Planets beyond Mars move very, very slowly, especially the outer three. From November 2024 through July 2025, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will shift energetically.  We move from earth and water to fire and air elements, turning from practical, grounded and intuitive (earth and water signs) to creative, innovative, idea-oriented and communicative (fire and air signs). You will feel these shifts. Our lived experience at the beginning of 2025 will be incredibly different than by the end of the year. So it is really important to sink into the interior planetary slow-going afforded us during the first few months. January opens with Motivating Mars retrograde motion.  Mars is the gas pedal of the zodiac, the kick in the pants to get us out of bed in the morning.  Retrograde, Mars turns our energy inward, focusing on self-nurturing, home, family and ancestral patterns as it cycles through Cancer the Crab from January 4th through April 17th.  Deep in mid-winter, it is a convenient time for this passage. Our energy feels sluggish through the end of February.  Watch for lack of motivation and general inertia. Key themes with Mars retrograde in Cancer are:  food, family, self-care, diet and digestion, house, residence, home improvement projects, ancestors, hospice and life endings, maternal figures in your life (mom, sisters, aunts, grandmothers), psychological conditioning and programming, biological inheritance, nation, country. Thursday, January 30th:  Game Changer Uranus turns direct motion.  You may feel a marked gear thrust forward.  In Taurus, Uranus awakens our values, self-worth, skills and talents, relationship to money and all resources.  Notice where this is active for you. February is a remarkably quiet month cosmically speaking.  I strongly recommend taking advantage of the calm before March madness descends!   Generous Jupiter turns direct motion in Gemini on Tuesday, February 4th.  Jupiter is the titan of abundance, learning and expansion.  In Gemini, communication flows more easily; information you are seeking or sharing is readily available. Monday, February 24th:  Motivating Mars finally turns direct motion!  Notice how your energy picks up steam.  Where we felt lethargic, Mars now lights a fire under us, actively urging us to tend to our self-care, family, our home, elders, and how we cook and feed ourselves. Enjoy the last week of February when all the interior planets are briefly direct motion to book travel plans, sign major contracts and documents, purchase large ticket items. March Key Dates:   Very busy cosmic month Sunday, March 2nd Valuable Venus turns retrograde in Aries.  Watch temptation on all fronts: tempting love affairs heading nowhere and impulse buying things, especially luxury goods that you do not need.    Also watch for all variety of relationships from the past resurfacing:  old friends, relatives, romantic partners.  Venus is retrograde March 2-April 13th and it is not a great time to initiate any relationships or launch businesses. In the midst of this stretch, Friday, March 14th delivers the first eclipse of 2025, a total lunar eclipse in Virgo.  Health, wellness, service, work, habits, practices and routines move front and center now.  We are asked to surrender what we cannot control. The very next day, Saturday, March 15th:  Messenger Mercury turns retrograde in Aries until Monday, April 7th.  The great news is we get both Mercury and Venus retrogrades out of the way at the same time!  Watch for communication snafus, heated arguments and misunderstandings, overpromising things you cannot commit to, avoid signing major contracts or key documents, and hold off on booking travel plans or buying phones, tablets, laptops when possible until mid-April.  Life kicks into overdrive with the second eclipse on Saturday, March 29th, a partial solar eclipse in Aries.  Look where you are incited or invited into action?  Standing up for yourself, defending the vulnerable, and/or trying anything new to you, be it methods, exercise, travel, food, methods of thinking, and more are on the table now. Underscoring the urge to explore the untried and new to us is soulful Neptune's shift into pioneering Aries on Monday, March 31st.  Neptune is the planet of the soul, dreams, the subconscious.  Ephemeral Neptune is not especially comfortable cycling through Aries, the first sign and first fire sign of the zodiac.  Its key phrase is I AM. Rules the head, identity, self, war, conflict, battle. Known for physicality, leadership, athleticism, initiative, impulse, lack of follow through, action, doing (not being), up for/willing to try anything.  Personality type:  the Warrior, the pioneer, the executive, the Great Initiator. The best possible combination of Neptune in Aries is pioneering solutions benefitting all of mankind; the downside is religious zealotry. By the end of May, Taskmaster Saturn joins Neptune in Aries.  You will surely feel the fire under your fanny and your feet when these two join forces!  This duos inspires and commands our soul craving something brand new, what we've never done before.  What is that for you? Monday, June 9th Generous Jupiter moves into nurturing Cancer the Crab for the next full year.  Exalted in this maternal sign, Jupiter offers endless silver linings to any challenges we may endure.  Look for the helpers, as Mr. Rogers said.  Earth angels abound if you only ask for assistance. Just after the 4th of July holiday, change agent Uranus moves into communicative Gemini.  Aligning to Pluto in Aquarius, watch for smoother connections, proliferating idea exchange, technology developments, and surprising solutions to stubborn long-term problems. It is important to remember that the planets impel, the do not compel; meaning, you have free will and choice how you respond to planetary stimulus.   To reach Hilary Harley: www.hilaryharley.com http://www.hilaryharley.com/ Hilary@hilaryharley.com Facebook:  hilary harley. https://www.facebook.com/hilary.harley.3 hilary harley astrology https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057501487642  holistic healing https://www.facebook.com/hilaryharley714 Instagram:  hilary.harley https://www.instagram.com/hilary.harley

    Netanyahu announces Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas "Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a deal to pause war in Gaza and return captives from the besieged Palestinian enclave has been reached. The announcement comes a day after Netanyahu's office said there were last minute snags in talks to free captives in return for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Palestinian abductees. Netanyahu said he will convene his security cabinet and then the government to approve the agreement. The conflict, now in its 469th day, has devastated Gaza, with estimates suggesting up to 200,000 deaths. Israel's Ben-Gvir threatens to quit Netanyahu govt over Gaza deal "Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir threatens to resign if the government approves the Gaza ceasefire deal brokered by the US, Egypt and Qatar. Calling it a ""reckless deal,"" Ben-Gvir claims it undermines Israel's war achievements by releasing Palestinian fighters and ceding strategic ground. Despite political tensions, Prime Minister Netanyahu retains a parliamentary majority. US officials expect the ceasefire to commence Sunday." At least $10B needed to rebuild Gaza health system: WHO "The World Health Organization estimates that at least $10 billion will be needed over the next 5–7 years to rebuild Gaza's devastated health system. With less than half of Gaza's hospitals functional, the need for immediate and sustained humanitarian aid is critical. World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus welcomed the ceasefire agreement, stating that ""the best medicine is peace,"" but urged its immediate implementation. He stressed the need for safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid to reach those in need." UK and Ukraine sign '100 year partnership' agreement "During a surprise visit to Kiev, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a landmark ""100 Year Partnership"" agreement. The agreement aims to deepen defence cooperation, address maritime security challenges, and strengthen ties in areas such as trade, energy, and climate change. Zelenskyy described the partnership as a significant step in strengthening the relationship between the two nations." Space X Starship test flight explodes after the liftoff "Space X's latest Starship launch ended in disappointment with the spacecraft breaking apart shortly after liftoff. Despite a successful booster landing, the spacecraft experienced an ""unscheduled disassembly,"" losing contact with ground control.   The test flight aimed to send the spacecraft on a near-orbital journey around the globe, but the mission was cut short.   This was the seventh test flight for the world's most powerful rocket, which is crucial for Space X's plans for future lunar missions and ultimately, Mars exploration.

    Big changes are happening: space; energy; and, of course, artificial intelligence. The difference between sustainable, pro-growth change, versus a retreat back into stagnation, may lie in how we implement that change. Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I talk with Virginia Postrel about the pitfalls of taking a top-down approach to innovation, versus allowing a bottom-up style of dynamism to flourish.Postrel is an author, columnist, and speaker whose scholarly interests range from emerging technology to history and culture. She has authored four books, including The Future and Its Enemies (1998) and her most recent, The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World (2020). Postrel is a contributing editor for the Works in Progress magazine and has her own Substack.In This Episode* Technocrats vs. dynamists (1:29)* Today's deregulation movement (6:12)* What to make of Musk (13:37)* On electric cars (16:21)* Thinking about California (25:56)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Technocrats vs. dynamists (1:29)I think it is a real thing, I think it is in both parties, and its enemies are in both parties, too, that there are real factional disagreements.Pethokoukis: There is this group of Silicon Valley founders and venture capitalists, they supported President Trump because they felt his policies were sort of pro-builder, pro-abundance, pro-disruption, whatever sort of name you want to use.And then you have this group on the center-left who seemed to discover that 50 years of regulations make it hard to build EV chargers in the United States. Ezra Klein is one of these people, maybe it's limited to center-left pundits, but do you think there's something going on? Do you think we're experiencing a dynamism kind of vibe shift? I would like to think we are.Postrel: I think there is something going on. I think there is a real progress and abundance movement. “Abundance” tends to be the word that people who are more Democrat-oriented use, and “progress” is the word that people who are more — I don't know if they're exactly Republican, but more on the right . . . They have disagreements, but they represent distinct Up Wing (to put it in your words) factions within their respective parties. And actually, the Up Wing thing is a good way of thinking about it because it includes both people that, in The Future and Its Enemies, I would classify as technocrats, and Ezra Klein read the books and says, “I am a technocrat.” They want top-down direction in the pursuit of what they see as progress. And people that I would classify as dynamists who are more bottom-up and more about decentralized decision-making, price signals, markets, et cetera.They share a sense that they would like to see the possibility of getting stuff done, of increasing abundance, of more scientific and technological progress, all of those kinds of things. I think it is a real thing, I think it is in both parties, and its enemies are in both parties, too, that there are real factional disagreements. In many ways, it reminds me of the kind of cross-party seeking for new answers that we experienced in the late '70s and early '80s, where . . . the economy was problematic in the '70s.Highly problematic.And there was a lot of thinking about what the problems were and what could be done better, and one thing that came out of that was a lot of the sort of deregulation efforts that, in the many pay-ins to Jimmy Carter, who's not my favorite president, but there was a lot of good stuff that happened through a sort of left-right alliance in that period toward opening up markets.So you had people like Ralph Nader and free-market economists saying, “We really don't need to have all these regulations on trucking, and on airlines, and these are anti-consumer, and let's free things up.” And we reaped enormous benefits from that, and it's very hard to believe how prescriptive those kinds of regulations were back before the late '70s.The progress and abundance movement has had its greatest success — although it still has a lot to go — on housing, and that's where you see people who are saying, “Why do we have so many rules about how much parking you can have?” I mean, yes, a lot of people want parking, but if they want parking, they'll demand it in the marketplace. We don't need to say, “You can't have tandem parking.” Every place I've lived in LA would be illegal to build nowadays because of the parking, just to take one example.Today's deregulation movement (6:12). . . you've got grassroots kind of Trump supporters who supported him because they're sick of regulation. Maybe they're small business owners, they just don't like being told what to do . .. . and it's a coalition, and it's going to be interesting to see what happens.You mentioned some of the deregulation in the Carter years, that's a real tangible achievement. Then you also had a lot more Democrats thinking about technology, what they called the “Atari Democrats” who looked at Japan, so there was a lot of that kind of tumult and thinking — but do you think this is more than a moment, it's kind of this brief fad, or do you think it can turn into something where you can look back in five and 10 years, like wow, there was a shift, big things actually happened?I don't think it's just a fad, I think it's a real movement. Now, movements are not always successful. And we'll see, when we saw an early blowup over immigration.That's kind of what I was thinking of, it's hardly straightforward.Within the Trump coalition, you've got people who are what I in The Future and Its Enemies would call reactionaries. That is, people who idealize an idea of an unchanging America someplace in the past. There are different versions of that even within the Trump coalition, and those people are very hostile to the kinds of changes that come with bottom-up innovation and those sorts of things.But then you've also got people, and not just people from Silicon Valley, you've got grassroots kind of Trump supporters who supported him because they're sick of regulation. Maybe they're small business owners, they just don't like being told what to do, so you've got those kinds of people too, and it's a coalition, and it's going to be interesting to see what happens.It's not just immigration, it's also if you wanted to have a big technological future in the US, some of the materials you need to build come from other countries. I think some of them come from Canada, and probably we're not going to annex it, and if you put big tariffs on those things, it's going to hamper people's ability to do things. This is more of a Biden thing, but the whole Nippon Steel can't buy US Steel and invest huge amounts of money in US plants because, “Oh no, they're Japanese!” I mean it's like back to the '80s.Virginia, what if we wake up one morning and they've moved the entire plant to Tokyo? We can't let them do that!There's one thing about steel plants, they're very localized investments. And we have a lot of experience with Japanese investment in the US, by the way, lots of auto plants and other kinds of things. It's that sort of backward thinking, which, in this case, was a Biden administration thing, but Trump agrees, or has agreed, is not good. And it's not even politically smart, and it's not even pro the workers because the workers who actually work at the relevant plant want this investment because it will improve their jobs, but instead we get this creating monopoly. If things go the way it looks like they will, there will be a monopoly US Steel supplier, and that's not good for the auto industry or anybody else who uses steel.I think if we look back in 2030 at what's happened since 2025, whether this has turned out to be a durable kind of pro-progress, pro-growth, pro-abundance moment, I'll look at how have we reacted to advances in artificial intelligence: Did we freak out and start worrying about job loss and regulate it to death? And will we look back and say, “Wow, it became a lot easier to build a nuclear power plant or anything energy.” Has it become significantly easier over the past five years? How deep is the stasis part of America, and how big is the dynamist part of America, really?Yeah, I think it's a big question. It's a big question both because we're at this moment of what looks like big political change, we're not sure what that change is going to look like because the Trump coalition and Trump himself are such a weird grab bag of impulses, and also because, as you mentioned, artificial intelligence is on the cusp of amazing things, it looks like.And then you throw in the energy issues, which are related to climate, but they're also related to AI because AI requires a lot of energy. Are we going to build a lot of nuclear power plants? It's conceivable we will, both because of new technological designs for them, but also because of this growing sense — what I see is a lot of elite consensus (and elites are bad now!) that we made a wrong move when we turned against nuclear power. There's still aging Boomer and older are environmentalist types who still react badly to the idea of nuclear power, but if you talk to younger people, they are more open-minded because they're more concerned with the climate, and if we're going to electrify everything, the electricity's got to come from someplace. Solar and wind don't get you there.To me, not only is this the turnaround in nuclear, to me, stunning, but the fact that we had one of the most severe accidents only about 10 years ago in Japan, and if you would have asked anybody back then, they're like, “That's the death knell. No more nuclear renaissance in these countries. Japan's done. It's done everywhere.” Yet here we are.And yet, part of that may even be because of that accident, because it was bad, and yet, the long-run bad effects were negligible in terms of actual deaths or other things that you might point to. It's not like suddenly you had lots of babies being born with two heads or something.What to make of Musk (13:37)I'm glad the world has an Elon Musk, I'm glad we don't have too many of them, and I worry a little bit about someone of that temperament being close to political power.What do you make of Elon Musk?Well, I reviewed Walter Isaacson's biography of him.Whatever your opinion was after you read the biography, has it changed?No, it hasn't. I think he is somebody who has poor impulse control, and some of his impulses are very good. His engineering and entrepreneurial genius are best focused in the world of building things — that is, working with materials, physically thinking about properties of materials and how could you do spaceships, or cars, or things differently. He's a mixed bag and a lot of these kinds of people, I say it well compared.What do people expect that guy to be like?Compared to Henry Ford, I'd prefer Elon Musk. I'm glad the world has an Elon Musk, I'm glad we don't have too many of them, and I worry a little bit about someone of that temperament being close to political power. It can be a helpful corrective to some of the regulatory impulses because he does have this very strong builder impulse, but I don't think he's a particularly thoughtful person about his limitations or about political concerns.Aside from his particular strange personality, there is a general problem among the tech elite, which is that they overemphasize how much they know. Smart people are always prone to the problem of thinking they know everything because they're smart, or that they can learn everything because they're smart, or that they're better than people because they're smart, and it's just like one characteristic. Even the smartest person on earth can't know everything because there's more knowledge than any one person can have. That's why I don't like the technocratic impulse, because the technocratic impulse is like, smart people should run the world and they tell you exactly how to do it.To take a phrase that Ruxandra Teslo uses on her Substack, I think weird nerds are really important to the progress of the world, but weird nerds also need to realize that our goal should be to create a world in which they have a place and can do great things, but not a world in which they run everything, because they're not the only people who are valuable and important.On electric cars (16:21)If you look at the statistics, the people who buy electric cars tend to be people who don't actually drive that much, and they're skewed way to high incomes.You were talking about electrification a little earlier, and you've written a little bit about electric cars. Why did you choose to write about electric cars? And it seems like there's a vibe shift on electric cars as well in this country.This is the funny thing, because this January interview is actually scheduled because of a July post I had written on Substack called “Don't Talk About Electric Cars!”It's as timely as today's headlines.The headline was inspired by a talk that I heard Celinda Lake, the Democratic pollster (been around forever) give at a Breakthrough Institute conference back in June. Breakthrough Institute is part of this sort of UP Wing, pro-progress coalition, but they have a distinct Democrat tilt. And this conference, there was a panel on it that was about how to talk about these issues, specifically if you want Democrats to win.She gave this talk where she showed all these polling results where you would say, “The Biden administration is great because of X,” and then people would agree or disagree. And the thing that polled the worst, and in fact the only thing that actually made people more likely to vote Republican, was saying that they had supported building all these electric charging stations. Celinda Lake's opinion, her analysis of that, digging into the numbers, was that people don't like electric cars, and especially women don't like electric cars, because of concerns about range. Women are terrified of being stranded, that was her take. I don't know if that's true, but that was her take. But women love hybrids, and I think people love hybrids. I think hybrids are very popular, and in fact, I inherited my mother's hybrid because she stopped driving. So I now have a 2018 Prius, which I used to take this very long road trip in the summer where I drove from LA to a conference in Wichita, and then to Red Cloud Nebraska, and then back to Wichita for a second conference.The reason people don't like electric cars is really a combination of the fact that they tend to cost more than equivalent gasoline vehicles and because they have limited range and you have to worry about things like charging them and how long charging them is going to take.If you look at the statistics, the people who buy electric cars tend to be people who don't actually drive that much, and they're skewed way to high incomes. So I live in this neighborhood in West LA, and it is full of Priuses — I mean it used to be full of Priuses, there's still a lot of Priuses, but it's full of Teslas and it is not typical. And the people in LA who are driving many, many miles are people who have jobs like they're gardeners, or their contractors, or they're insurance adjusters and they have to drive all around and they don't drive electric cars. They might very well drive hybrids because you get better gas mileage, but they're not people who have a lot of time to be sitting around in charging stations.I think what's happened is there's some groups of people who are see this as a problem to be solved, but then there are a lot of people who see it as more symbolic than not. And they let their ideal, perfect world prevent improvements. So instead of saying, “We should switch from coal to natural gas,” they say, “We should outlaw fossil fuels.” Instead of saying, “Hybrids are a great thing, great invention, way lower emissions,” they say, “We must have all electric vehicles.” And what will happen, California has this rule, it has this law, that you're not going to be able to sell [non-]electric vehicles in the state after, I think it's 2035, and it's totally predictable what's going to happen: People just keep their gasoline cars longer. We're going to end up like Cuba with a bunch of old cars.I swear, every report I get from a think tank, or a consultancy, or a Wall Street bank, for years has talked about electric cars, the energy transition, as if it was an absolutely done deal, and maybe it is a done deal over some longer period of time, I don't know, but to me it sort of gets to your point about top-down technocratic impulse — it seems to be failing.And I think that electric cars are a good example of that because there are a lot of people who think electric cars are really cool, they're kind of an Up Wing thing, if you will. It's like a new technology, there've been big advances, and exciting entrepreneurs . . . and I think a lot of people who like the idea of technological progress like electric cars, and in fact, the adoption of electric cars by people who maybe don't drive a whole lot but have a lot of money, it's not just environmental, cool, or even status, it's partly techno-lust, especially with Teslas.A lot of people who bought Teslas, they're just like people who like technology, but the top-down proclamation that you must have an electric vehicle, and we're going to use a combination of subsidies and bans to force everybody to have an electric vehicle, really doesn't acknowledge the diversity of transportation needs that people have.One way of looking at electric cars, but also the effort to build all these chargers, which has been a failure, the effort to start to creating broadband connectivity to all these rural areas — which isn't working very well — there was this lesson learned by people on the center-left, and Ezra Klein, that there was this wild overreaction, perhaps, to environmental problems in the '60s and '70s, and the unintended consequence here is that one, the biggest environmental problem may be worse because we don't have nuclear power and climate change, but now we can't really solve any problems. So it took them 50 years, but they learned a lesson.My concern is to look at what's going on with some of the various Biden initiatives which are taking forever to implement, may be wildly unpopular — will they learn the risk of this top-down technocratic approach, or they'll just memory hold that and they'll move on to their next technocratic approach? Will there be a learning?No, I'm skeptical that there will be. I think that the learning that has taken place — and by the way, I hate that: “a learning,” that kind of thing. . .That's why I said it, because it's kind of delightfully annoying.The “learning,” gerund, that has taken place is that we shouldn't put so much process in the way of government doing things. And while I more or less agree with that, in particular, there are too many veto points and it is too easy for a very small group of objectors to hold up, not just private, but also public initiatives that are providing public goods.I think that the reason we got all of these process things that keep things from being done was because of things like urban renewal in the 1960s. And no, it was not just Robert Moses, he just got the big book written about him, but this took place every place where neighborhoods were completely torn down and hideous, brutalist structures were built for public buildings, or public housing, and these kinds of things, and people eventually rebelled against that.I think that yes, there are some people on the center-left who will learn. I do not think Ezra Klein is one of them, but price signals are actually useful things. They convey knowledge, and if you're going to go from one regulatory regime to another, you'll get different results, but if you don't have something that surfaces that bottom-up knowledge and takes it seriously, eventually it's going to break down. It's either going to break down politically or it's just waste a lot of money. . . You have your own technocratic streak.Thinking about California (25:56)Everybody uses California fires as an excuse to grind whatever axe they have.But listen, they'd be the good technocrats.Final question: As we're speaking, as we're doing this interview, huge fires raging sort of north of Los Angeles — how do you feel about the future of California? You live in California. California is extraordinarily important, both the American economy and to the world as a place of culture, as a place of technology. How do you feel about the state?The state has done a lot of shooting itself in the foot over the last . . . I moved here in 1986, and over that time, particularly in the first decade I was there, things were going great, the state was kind of stupid. I think if California solves its housing problem and actually allows significant amounts of housing to be built so that people can move here, people can stay here, young people don't have to leave the state, I think that will go a long way. It has made some positive movement in that direction. I think that's the biggest single obstacle.Fires are a problem, and I just recirculated on my Substack something I wrote about understanding the causes of California fires and what would need to be done to stop them.You've got to rake that underbrush.I wrote this in 2019, but it's still true: Everybody uses California fires as an excuse to grind whatever axe they have.Some of the Twitter commentary has been less-than-generous toward the people of California and its governor.One of the forms of progress that we take for granted is that cities don't burn regularly. Throughout most of human history, regular urban fires were a huge deal, and one of the things that city governments feared the most was fire and how were they prevented. There's the London fire, and the Chicago fires, and I remember, I just looked up yesterday, there was a huge fire in Atlanta in 1917, which was when my grandparents were children there. I remember my grandparents talking about that fire. Cities used to regularly burn — now they don't, where you have, they call it the “urban wildlife,” I forget what it's called, but there's a place where the city meets up against the natural environment, and that's where we have fires now, so that people like me who live in the concrete are not threatened. It's the people who live closer to nature, or they have more money, have a big lot of land.It's kind of understood what would be needed to prevent such fires. It's hard to do because it costs a lot of money in some cases, but it's not like, “Let's forget civilization. Let's not build anything. Let's just let nature take its course.” And one of the problems that was in the 20th century where people had the false idea — again, bad technocrats — that you needed to prevent forest fires, forest fires were always bad, and that is a complete misunderstanding of how the natural world works.California has a great future if it fixes this housing problem. If it doesn't fix its housing problem, it can write off the future. It will be all old people who already have houses.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised▶ Business* Google Thinks It Has the Best AI Tech.
