After thirty or so years of globalization, however, the United States is divided into a country of winners and losers. Winners have prospered in global value-adding services like finance, law, consulting, marketing and design, and in high-technology sectors such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace and digital products and services, all of which tap into world markets and exploit US strengths in intellectual property. Losers are clustered in local services like hospitality and retail and in lower-value manufacturing sectors where a combination of automation and competition from cheaper, foreign labour hollowed out local industries and jobs. By 2015, only some 50 per cent of American thirty-year-olds were earning more than their parents in real terms.4 The country’s overall GDP may have continued to grow, but the rewards flowed mainly to those already at or near the top of the income ladder. Between 2001 and 2016, upper-income families added 33 per cent to their net wealth, whereas middle-income families saw their median net worth fall by 20 per cent and lower-income families by 45 per cent.5
China’s markets remain opaque; state-owned enterprises continue to dominate key sectors; they and their private sector counterparts receive subsidies and loans at preferential rates, and approval of foreign investment often requires the forced transfer of IP. Despite this, between 2010 and 2020, US companies invested £150 billion in China, principally in the information and technology, automotive, energy and retail sectors – nearly two-thirds of it in greenfield investment rather than acquisitions, in the hope of penetrating the massive Chinese market.
Because they are playing with an end point in mind, Carse tells us, finite-minded players do not like surprises and fear any kind of disruption. Things they cannot predict or cannot control could upset their plans and increase their chances of losing. The infinite-minded player, in contrast, expects sur- prises, even revels in them, and is prepared to be transformed by them. They embrace the freedom of play and are-open to any possibility that keeps them in the game. Instead of look- ing for ways to react to what has already happened, they look for ways to do something new. An infinite perspective frees us from fixating on what other companies are doing, which al- lows us to focus on a larger vision. Instead of reacting to how ew technology will challenge our business model, for exam- e, those with infinite mindsets are better able to foresee the applications of new technology

—Their old world, covered in optical fiber, was a world shrunk to its limits, a civilization created by unbelievable wit and wisdom. Yet the massive flood of information this technology made possible, somehow only taught them more and more how foolish people could be.
“ I know I don’t have any right to be, but I was very proud when you went on to study technology. You get it from me. You’re so much better than I was at your age.”
The pride in his voice, the pride she had never been on the receiving end of in her entire life, twisted something inside her chest.
mRNA aşısı neredeyse her vakada kalp anormalliklerine neden oluyor
mRNA vaccine causes heart abnormalities in almost every case. In the week that Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman were awarded a Nobel Prize in Medicine for pioneering the mRNA vaccine, other researchers discovered it "significantly increases the risk" of heart abnormalities.
Weissman warned as much in 2018 when he discovered the new mRNA technology caused "non-trivial" systemic inflammation and autoimmune reactions.

Güzel kaos çıkar buradan,
Kişisel özgürlüğün makul ve ortaklaşa alınmış kararlar dışında keyfi nedenlerle ortadan kaldırılmak istenmesi ancak diktatoryanın, tiranlar idaresinin kurulması ile mümkündür. Popper, özgürlüğün, icab ederse silahla korunması gerektiğinde tereddütsüzdür. Bu fikir, tabii ki Popper'in orijinal fikri değildir: Maraton'da Termopil'de,

Most cleantech companies crashed because they neglected one or more of the seven questions that every business must answer:
1. The Engineering Question (Can you create breakthrough technology instead of incremental improvements?)
2. The Timing Question (Is now the right time to start your particular business?)
3. The Monopoly Question (Are you starting with a big share of a small market?)
4. The People Question (Do you have the right team?)
5. The Distribution Question (Do you have a way to not just create but deliver your product?)
6. The Durability Question (Will your market position be defensible 10 and 20 years into the future?)
7. The Secret Question (Have you identified a unique opportunity that others don’t see?)

Temiz teknoloji şirketlerinin çoğu, her işletmenin yanıtlaması gereken yedi sorudan bir veya daha fazlasını ihmal ettikleri için çöktü:
1. Mühendislik Sorusu (Kademeli iyileştirmeler yerine çığır açan teknolojiler yaratabilir misiniz?)
2. Zamanlama Sorusu (Şu anda kendi işinize başlamak için doğru zaman mı?)
3. Tekel Sorusu (Küçük bir pazarın büyük bir payı ile mi başlıyorsunuz?)
4. İnsan Sorusu (Doğru ekibe sahip misiniz?)
5. Dağıtım Sorusu (Ürününüzü sadece yaratmakla kalmayıp teslim etmenin de bir yolu var mı?)
6. Dayanıklılık Sorusu (Pazar konumunuz gelecekte 10 ve 20 yıl boyunca savunulabilir mi?)
7. Gizli Soru (Başkalarının göremediği benzersiz bir fırsat belirlediniz mi?)

In a world of gigantic administrative bureaucracies both public and private, searching for a new path might seem like hoping for a miracle. This would be depressing but for one crucial fact: humans are distinguished from other species by our ability to work miracles. We call these miracles technology. Technology is miraculous because it allows us to do more with less.

Hem kamu hem de özel sektördeki devasa idari bürokrasilerin olduğu bir dünyada, yeni bir yol aramak bir mucizeyi ummak gibi görünebilir. Bu moral bozucu olabilir ama çok önemli bir gerçek var: İnsanlar diğer türlerden mucizeler yaratma yeteneğimizle ayrılıyor. Biz bu mucizelere teknoloji diyoruz. Teknoloji mucizevi çünkü daha azıyla daha fazlasını yapmamızı sağlıyor.

“Every monopoly is unique, but they usually share some combination of the following characteristics: Proprietary Technology, Network Effects, Economies of Scale, and Branding.”

"Her tekel benzersizdir, ancak genellikle aşağıdaki özelliklerin bir kombinasyonunu paylaşırlar: Tescilli Teknoloji, Ağ Etkileri, Ölçek Ekonomileri ve Markalaşma."
Our technology has outpaced both our concepts of what it is to be human and our relationship to the natural world. Values, philosophy, religion, and ethics are being lost in the wake of a technology that plows into a surreal future.

California Tech
CalTech kısaltması altında bilinen California Institute of Technology (Kaliforniya Teknoloji Enstitüsü) fen ve mühendislik araştırmalarında dünyanın en önde gelen kuruluşlarından biridir. ABD' nin en iyi öğrencilerini alan ve 1921 yılında kurulmuş olan bu üniversitenin 2000 öğrencisi vardır. Bunun 11OO'ü lisansüstü, 900' ü de lisanstır. Bu 2000 öğrenci 81O hocadan ders görürler (280 öğretim üyesi, 130 araştırma profesörü, 400 doktora sonrası bilimcileri). Yani, 2,5 öğrenciye bir öğretim üyesi düşmektedir. Bu küçük okulun hocaları 27 tane Nobel ödülü almışlardır.
