1/ Proven physical theories are called laws because they dictate how our world operates.
If there were such a law of capitalism, it would probably be the fact that profits attract competitors who try to eliminate it by offering customers either a lower price or a higher quality
2/ This law thus allows for only two types of businesses to exist: cost-focused business or quality-focused business.
Think of a McDonald’s v/s your neighborhood gourmet burger restaurant.
Any business that tries to be both doesn’t work out in the long run.
Learn the process of 💊 computational drug discovery.
See link below 👇
In April '20, @iamalphalee's startup @PostEra_AI launched a crowdsourced effort to discover drugs that are effective in treating covid-19.
Listen to the behind-the-scenes take on how it was done:
This was the first of its kind effort that combined research efforts from several groups across the world to design a drug that treats covid-19, is free from patents and can be made cheaply and easily anywhere in the world.
Most mainstream physicists today believe that our universe is fundamentally quantum and since quantum objects exist in super-position of properties, our universe also exists in super-position of possibilities.
But we percieve definite outcomes, not possibilities.
This so called "wave collapse" into definite outcomes is an illusion.
Possibilities do not collapse into outcomes. Rather, we the observers get entangled with those possibilities
What role does innovation play in building a more sustainable world?
(a short thread)
1/ Solar power is a stellar example of how it’s possible to use innovation to push towards a better world.
The cost of solar power is now competitive to other sources of power.
2/ But why has solar been increasingly successful in replacing coal/fossil fuels but there’s no cost-effective alternatives to plastic bag, or livestock?
