34/ A sobering analysis of why large companies with a single major product have no incentive to incorporate an improvement (even a large one) to a single part of that product.

35/ I feel like *accidental* blackouts don't happen anymore in developed countries. One of those subtle but big improvements.

36/ Nuance about commercialization. I feel like *commercialize all the things!* can be as dangerous as *commercialization taints your soul!*

37/ Now this was a 🤯🤨🤔 moment - the assertion that patents aren't actually there to reward an inventor. Instead it's to give a venture captialist incentive to *fund* the inventor. Still mentally masticating this one.

38/ I'm *very* hesitant to use the B word. But if there was actually a good way of encoding what was new about an invention - what constraints it relaxed and which constraint it had, might that be a place for (furtively looks back and forth and whispers) Blockchain?

39/ The level of meta self-awareness here is off the charts. Also a lesson for a lot of people talking about AI today ...

41/ He's calling out that electric cars would be awesome ... in 1970. Problem was the batteries. Imagine if we had a good way to encode which technologies would be amazing except for a precise constraint - how much awesome could we unlock?

42/ Did you know that Stirling (of Stirling Engine fame) was a clergyman? So much early science (see: Mendel) was done by clergymen because monasteries were one of the few places where you had a bunch of educated people with time and relative safety on their hands ...

43/ Advances in material science are the root cause for a mind-blowing number of technological advances. The field is still underappreciated.

44/ Air force needing oxygen for pilots -> research to make oxygen -> cheap oxygen -> cheaper steel making -> order of magnitude cheaper steel. 🤯

53/ More nuance. Instead of the debate over whether education is just skill training or signaling, maybe it's complex and many things.

end/ There are lots of great pieces I skipped so if this intrigued you - read it! It's (used) on AMZ or on . This is part of my ongoing research into people/orgs that enabled quantum tech leaps. or
