most of the world has lost the will to do big things--incredible alpha now in working on a big project. most of the world has also lost the ability to think on a long time horizon. combine the two and you'll be really happy!

Those things are not lost. They are just not very present in normal people. Never have been. It's always a tiny minority who can think and act big. This is actually against our biology so no wonder...

This may all be true, it's worth thinking what the causal factors are. For example, one would be far more able to take on big risky long-term projects if they had the safety of $3M in a well-diversified portfolio, rather than a living paycheck to paycheck...

Big things I'm working on or intend to in the future: 1) A venture capital fund focused on fusion energy & directly enabling technologies (@FusionEnergyCap). 2) Hoping to explore the possibility of treating/curing cancer with a cocktail of oncolytic viruses + cancer vaccines.

Give me funding and I’ll build you prototype deep sea mining robots to extract rare earth mineral nodes located on the bottom of the ocean. It’s really quite an interesting field.
