If only his life was interesting. You could make a movie about his empire and the brilliant people he bought though. Gwynne Shotwell is killing it at spacex.
Yeah, listening to a monologue about a topic you have zero comprehension for is no great conversation. Conversation partners who are unable to read your boredom and keep rambling until you set boundaries and beyond are the worst.
And the non insurable nature of nuclear power besides its distant break even point is the reason only governments have ever build nuclear plants, or had to give huge guarantees. There are financial problems with nuclear, too.
Easy, gods used to do devine interventions all the time. Didn't sacrifice to Neptunus before your sea journey? His mood storm sinks your ship. Didn't please Mars before your battle? You fight at bad weather and the enemy has surprise reinforcements.
Modern day gods? They left a secretary or something. Buhbuh you did something bad, I put you on the naughty list but I'm a weak noodle so your punishment will have to wait until after your death. When your soul which is not your body but has all senses asif it were because we antromorph everything, gets hurt.
If you can bomb a kids hospital without getting struck by lightning, there are no gods. There are millions of people praying for peace and the save return of their children in the ukraine war on both sides, nothing happens.
I claim that the presence of a god would be obvious if they took their job description seriously. Like a managers/auditors presence can be felt in the office without seeing him.
That's the us ngo satanic temple, you also have people who religiously worship satan instead of jesus. Christian multiverse. High chance of encountering cults if you look for them.
If you really want to know and have time, there is a fascinating documetary about it.

It seems to be a common view in countries without social policies. To blame ideology when polititians fall to greed and fail to govern. Who knows where op is from, they might actually need a revolution there to get a reshuffling in politics.
Thanks, this place is full of dreamers and sometimes it feels violent to bring realism and nuance into their wonderous worldview. I'm happy my comment got upvotes, the first readers can downvote you to drown at the bottom of a comment thread. Good to have multiple voices like ours here.
Huawai is the biggest contributor, followed by intel, google, amd... Most volunteers are all on a payroll. Companies working together on an industry standard is still noble, though.
Who knows what this new money will do with the old ad-financed entertainment parts of the internet. VR/AR could actually get a second chance and maybe "smart" devices more usefulness than spamming ads. I hope cities and municipalities discover their role as online activity promoters for offline life.
We are in a new phase and what you call stagnation is actually the maturity and stability of the internet that is spawning new services at the moment. For example:
Logistics are coming online. Loading lists, import/export paperwork, scheduling your truck unloading time from your smartphone. Lots of saas startups in that area.
Factories are coming online. Scheduling production across factories/countries on a single product level is still sci-fi, but they are working on it.
Trades are coming online. Billing software, planning, documentation. Each sector has their own ways to get accelerated and now they see value in it.
Plenty of stuff that was happening in excel sheets is replaced with a tailored web services which are content aware and allow live data entry/analysis from multiple end points.
There is so much work to be done. Universal availability and reliability of data centers, mobile networks, fibre connections were the backbone neccessary to build the next generation of services. They are in the making.
