If small underwater drones can infiltrate and destroy a $500M submarine inside a defended naval base, with patrols, sensors, and barriers, then trying to clear an open shipping lane that is hundreds of miles long is basically impossible. You can run escorted corridors and do

This wasn’t on my bingo card for 2025. 🔋Battery-powered UUVs threatening international shipping as an industry. Reindustrialization is not an option but a necessity.

Drones on the ground, drones in the air, drones underwater, drones everywhere

Every device should be capable of bidirectional wireless charging. I don't want 10 different wires and cables. I want to charge my phone with my laptop and my headphones with my phone and my lawnmower with my vacuum cleaner and my car with my stove and...

My firm belief is that we can get ultra cheap energy from more than one currently available source. That said, to get there we need to increase the demand for energy (and unblock supply obv) orders of magnitude to get there. Scaling laws are needed. This means we should be

91.4% of worries experienced by people with anxiety never come true.
