Im Losing My Mind

I genuinely wish I could see inside Musk’s head or at least get an explanation for how he was thinking his plans would work out.

Like it’s clear now he is fantastically out of touch with reality but I still really wanna know like, to what degree. Did he think people would accept his ultimatum? Did he genuinely think it would only take like 300 people to keep Twitter running?

For those who don't know, in 2018 I founded #Paleostream, a series of streams that happen every weekend. We are on Twitch and try to walk as many unexplored paths as possible, in the way we reconstruct extinct creature, the way they behave, look and are part of their environment.

Here some examples.

Another fun math tip: the speed of sound in air in ambient conditions is almost exactly a third of a kilometer (343 m) per second. The old trick of counting seconds between the flash of lightning and the associated thunder and dividing by five to get the distance in miles is handy but imprecise, and it's hard to divide numbers by five offhand if they're not directly divisible. I like to use thirds-of-a-kilometer instead.

Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!
