Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Forced to endure an episode of an Irish tv programme about the environment in which a guest sincerely listed carbon capture & storage and small nuclear reactor as potential energy solutions. As mentioned above, the earth is our coffin, hope is a mistake, etc
Carbon capture, small nuclear reactors. We stopped thinking big. To really solve climate change we need to do one easy, but big thing. Blow up the Sun.
Kill and dethrone God.
You'll hear no complaint from me.
Malcolm McDowell successfully blew up a star in one of the Star Trek movies, even if it did immediately get reversed by a time-travel MacGuffin. Perhaps we just need new leadership?
Don't think we should put another space guy into politics, no matter their expertise at blowing up stars. They tend to go bad quickly.
SMRs make me so goddamn miserable. We already know how to build nuclear plants. Build those! We're kind of on a tight deadline here, maybe don't waste time trying to invent a less efficient reactor that's supposed to solve a problem we don't have.
We already have working carbon capture technology, too. It's called plants. Thanks to deforestation and ocean pollution we're making negative progress creating CC machines, nice job.
