The ocean is the new Wild West. Trillions in resources are untapped. 99% of the world's data flows through UNGUARDED undersea cables. And new "flying boats" are set to move cargo at the speed of a plane for the cost of a ship. Meet the founders building the autonomous fleets and sea drones to tame this frontier. w/ @DisruptionHedge, @DavidZagaynov, & @willobri ROP #38 #technology #drones #logistics

Can you guess how many new reactor designs America’s nuclear police, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, have greenlit since it took control of atomic energy half a century ago? Zero! Only 2 reactors started commercial operation on the NRC’s watch, compared to 133 before it.

I was happy to sit down with @DisruptionHedge on the @RationalOptSoc podcast and talk a little bit about the state of play in autonomous systems and EW at @CX2_Industries . In this interview I go over the "Ten Commandments of EW" aka the spectrumimperative.com

We're just getting started 30 innovators in 2 weeks with @dan_steinhart and @mattwridley Follow along on my X, I've been sharing a bunch of pics. And read my latest @RationalOptSoc diary on our 2-week sprint across America here: rationaloptimistsociety.subs… Future's bright!

I love this old British WWI poster. I imagine my six-year-old Aubrey asking: “Dad, what did you do when everyone said the world was doomed?” I want Aubrey, and your kids and grandkids, to know the truth: The world is bursting with opportunities. With grit and innovation, we can tackle almost any problem. That’s why we started the Rational Optimist Society @RationalOptSoc You can read our work here: rationaloptimistsociety.subs…

A handful of $500 drones recently caused $5 BILLION in damage to a fleet of Russian strategic bombers. This is the new reality of warfare, and America is not ready. CX2 co-founder Nathan Mintz (@Gundo_OG) explains how this revolution is forcing the US to completely reinvent its military.
