#4 Some men have shared their visions. Unfortunately, these men appear to be difficult to find today.

"I am collecting the history of our people as written into things their hands made and used .... When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived, and that, I think, is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition."

~ Henry Ford said of his museum and Greenfield Village:

#11 Isn't Elon Musk in something of a No-Win here? If he provides Starlink connection to (quote)relief groups(un-quote) he is a Bad Guy and if he doesn't ...he's a Bad Guy. It looks like he just decided to get ahead of the PR Curve and incidentally score some free publicity.

#12 Any ISP has total control over what modems where are active. Who's connected and what they are doing not so much. You really believe any NGO wouldn't allow access to bad actors? I wouldn't.

#14 I think all these self-made billionaires: like Soros, Gates, and Musk; are crazy. If fact, isn't there a technical term for people who are good in one particular area thinking that they are universally competent?

#15 Dunning-Kruger effect, and while Musk's span of competence is impressive, he's visibly subject to it.

#16 I try to avoid any situation involving the emotions of an engineer or accountant.
