Next-generation masks could be to N95s what jets are to biplanes. A massive new wearable category. Combine:

- AR
- HUD
- infrared
- internet
- 360 camera
- microphone
- computer vision, audio
- flexible display for styling
- protection vs infection, pollution, face recognition
Comes with UVC chamber and some type of antimicrobial coating for self disinfection.
If billions must wear them daily, make masks amazing. Pack with sensors like a phone to give enhanced vision, hearing, smell.

Basically, Terminator vision on everything. With earpiece you’d also get ML to analyze audio. And olfactory sensors might get you bloodhound-level smell.

DIY masks are just the beginning. Autarky is back.

Autarky is simultaneously anti-capitalist and ultra-capitalist.

Build so you don’t need to buy, so you can withdraw from the market.

Or build so you can sell, so you can win the market.

But build.
I’ve been interested in technological autarky for some time.

It’s a natural extension of open source, buying local, 3D printing, and other trends.

Interesting to see how far we can push it given that we have the internet.
In addition to tech, biotech, and crypto I think entrepreneurs should help turn America into producers again.

There has been phenomenal work on the “producer internet” — tools for analytics, graphic design, and so on.

What about the physical world?

2020 may end the 20th century, the century of mass society.

Concerts, events, rallies, marches, K12, higher ed, restaurants, bars, airplanes, mass transit.

Anything with tightly packed crowds of people is now a health hazard. Permanently reduced demand.
Concerts, events → streaming

Rallies, marches → slacktivism is the new activism

K12, higher ed → online

Restaurants, bars → cloud kitchens, delivery

Airplanes → infrequent except for permanent relocation, replace with VR tours

Mass transit → individual autonomous cars
Best counterargument: after Spanish Flu we had Roaring 20s

Best counter-counterargument: seems crucial to dig into, but circumstances appear different.

Economy feels less resilient, more leveraged. Spanish Flu lockdowns didn’t mean soaring unemployment. Worth diligencing...

I don't think people realize that there is no normal to go back to anymore.
At absolute minimum:

1) Supply & demand has been reallocated across the economy, with travel & events zero'd out, remote work & masks to infinity
2) Virus permanently changes public behavior
3) Supply chain disruption just starting
4) More still en route:
Even if the virus did vanish in a puff of smoke and everyone went "back to work", the behavior of billions of people and every country has been permanently changed.

Demand won't quickly come back, borders won't easily reopen, international relations won't be the same.

Further to our discussion on Nigeria’s development and the contributions, we obviously have a vision problem. We have visions as individuals, families, organisations, and even ethnic groups, but not as a nation. #vision #theNigeriandream
Vision is one of the most potent tools for influence. It gives hope. It defines direction. It fosters unity. It becomes the basis for evaluation, defining success. A vision problem is a leadership problem. #vision #theNigeriandream
Where there is no vision, there is no leadership. The eyes are in the head. Leadership is more than position. It is influence. We’re all leaders, from the president to the peasant and all in between. That includes you and me. #vision #theNigeriandream

1. This is a Plutonium Pit. It is the heart of most nuclear weapons. It is not a Gamma emitter so you can hold it in your hands. Warm to the touch. On the right is what it looks like inside its shell of high explosives used to trigger it. My metaphor for #N@zi hate. Plutonium pit
2. My estimate when Trump started was 15% of Americans were pure unadulterated bigots. N@zis. KKK, all of a kind. They are the Plutonium Pit of American politics. @realDonaldTrump is the shell of explosives that surrounds it. The trigger is held by his master @KremlinRussia_E.
3. But the single Pit is not enough to destroy America. It needs a surrounding secondary fuel that in H-Bombs is often a kind of water. Not H20. But special isotopes of Hydrogen ready to fuse when the Trigger gets them compressed in a hot rage of hate. That's the #GOP.
