Reading Links Jan 2025 Part 1

  1. David Graeber opines on flying cars and technological stagnation, which is a good companion to [[ TheSiteRepo/_notes/Graeber and Thiel|my earlier post on his debate with Thiel ]].

  2. A friend shared Varoufakis’s post on Star Trek’s model for a techno-optimist utopia; I generally was left feeling that [[ TheSiteRepo/_notes/Varoufakis offers no solutions to achieve his vision ]].

  3. In addition, I am reading Eric Berger’s Liftoff, which grounds the reality of building SpaceX against these utopian visions.
