Tante rediscovering the spark

10/10, no notes again from one of my favourite thinkers in this space: Think about a person who works on developing chemicals basically saying: “Yeah we’re just throwing random stuff together. There’s at least a 10% chance that – since we don’t really do any security – we might poison everyone, but please give me all the money you had planned to give to hospitals. KTHXBYE.” The world we currently live in is the one where we respond with “Sure Mr. Altman. Here’s also all the money we wanted to spend on schools.” By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-09-11.
