From actresses who sell genital-scented candles to nuclear fusion - quite the spectrum.

Friedberg smashed it! It is going to be HARD to beat next year. Looking forward to see what Chamath brings to the table.

Seems they avoided the main topic about nuclear fission which is that they are still at a net loss of how much energy they put in vs how much energy they get out.

First time that I hear a founder say "it's not because you throw more money at a problem that it will get solved faster or more effectively". Refreshing.

"Fusion will be ready when society needs it" is such a striking quote. Thank goodness for all the smart scientists dedicating their lives to helping our planet move forward. Great episode. I hope someday we do get fusion reactors on Uranus <3
