Probably my all time favourite movie. I later learned that Stanley Kubrick was the genius who created several great movies I liked. Just 20 minutes ago driving through Tauranga enroute to golf, I pondered yet again the global termite mound the human gene pool is producing as we simultaneously selectively breed the creating gene pool to bootstrap greater and greater in a self referential sky's not the limit accelerating process, now with supra-somatic intelligence lifting off from the biological realm, like the bone flying into the sky. Bitcoin is an attempt to create a unit of value but it's a failing attempt. Even while it seems skyward. As predicted by me as soon as it was announced, one of its defects is the abhorrent energy wastrelism. Nature is not big on wastrelism. Same with all the frenzy for blockchain. Golf now. Shall try to remember to again read the article. Mqurice

TJ, The opening clip in 2001 is brilliant and your placing it here and now is exclamatory and perfectly on point. The clip shows the moment, after billions of years of evolution, the ape discovers tools. The next million years are man perfecting those tools to control nature. It was an epiphany. We are now at the precipice of a digital virtual world. One can live in single room and experience the entire universe without leaving the room. Musk and others are working on the next steps to digitally connect our bodies, but the ultimate step, living in a completely digital world is on our doorstep. I recommend the TV series Upload on what it is like living in a digital world. The more digital we get the more obvious it is that we live in a simulation, we are PCs (player characters) or NPCs in a LARP game. Maybe gold will be a relic in this new world. The transition will be cataclysmic but I think it will take 100 years. (Maybe gold is like the 100 year Chinese egg that comes out stinky) Then again may be it will only take 10 years and start with the interregnum. When will the levers of power fail to suppress the insurrection? When AI takes over.
