I figured many people couldn’t join @elonmusk clubhouse room. So will share notes here:

1) 5.5 years before we get people to Mars.

Childhood existential crisis on why life exists and why are we here and hitchhiker guide to galaxy helped to point universe and need to have better questions. So expanding consciousness and multi planetary life seems like a good way to find answers.

Would be good to have multi planetary in the short window we have in case of man made or external calamity as history has many many mass extinctions.

Travel possible every 2 years and will need 6 months to travel. Not possible to travel when Mars is on other side of Sun. Could go down down 1 month in future.

2) Aliens: Haven’t seen any conclusive evidence of aliens so far. Doesn’t mean it’s not possible in future.

Those who control memes controls the universe. Memes are complex form of communication. Picture says a 1000 words. Memes probably say 10,000.

I make some memes. I get sent some. I have some kick ass meme dealers.

We have multiple layers already 1) limbic 2) cortex 3) digital . Bandwidth between cortex and digital is very slow. Need to fix this. That’s the plan and vision of neuralink.

We have the best monkey facility and are keen to get them play some games with their mind. Early applications could be for people with brain injury. Before it becomes available to all.

Most of my kids education is from YouTube and Reddit.

Most important to focus on “why of things” when teaching kids. That forces kids to understand relevance of things.

Why doesn’t world have more Elon musks : I feel strong compulsion to do things I do. It’s very painful and not sure many people feel like doing it. Most people who want to be like me: don’t do it. Don’t do a startup if you need encouraging words. Comes from deep compulsion.

Views on Bitcoin : I should have bought Bitcoin 8 years ago. I am late to the party. I am supporter of Bitcoin. It’s on verge of wide acceptance by financial world.

That’s all folks. I got kicked out of the room for some reason and can’t get in now. Now back to checking on budget.
