@AntiLeftMemes The plughole?

@satyanadella Human Capital. Token Capital. I think there is a third category: Certainty Capital. The accumulated reduction of unresolved uncertainty inside the firm. AI is often described as a learning loop. But learning is not the destination. The destination is converting uncertainty into deterministic, executable knowledge. On Earth we absorb enormous amounts of ambiguity through meetings, management layers, consultants and governance. On Mars that becomes existentially expensive. The organizations that win may not be those with the most AI. They may be those with the least unresolved uncertainty.

“Things won’t be measured in dollars then, just mass & energy.” Agreed. But civilization requires a third currency: Incentives. Mass provides resources. Energy provides capability. Incentives direct human action. Mars won’t survive on mass and energy alone. Its economy will ultimately be measured by how effectively it converts human effort into long-term civilization survival. Mass. Energy. Incentives. Miss any one of the three and the settlement fails.

@elonmusk @ICannot_Enough That would mean mining a huge amount of Lunar silver possibly? But, it would seem that the moon has silver, but it is widely dispersed and not easy to mine. So, where will it come from?

@satyanadella Everyone is talking about AI learning loops. Almost nobody is talking about entropy. AI doesn’t just compound knowledge. It compounds ambiguity, conflicting definitions, governance failures and semantic drift. The question isn’t whether your AI gets smarter. The question is whether your organization remains coherent while it does. Human Capital. Token Capital. And increasingly: Meaning Capital. The one asset that survives every model replacement.

The arrested Sudanese man was an 'asylum seeker'. He entered Britain in February 2023, immediately claiming asylum, according to the police. Who was the immigration minister at the time? And then when the man was granted leave to remain in our country? Reform's Robert

“Nothing else matters if civilization falls.” Agreed. Which raises an uncomfortable question. What is the operating system of a civilization? We have spent decades engineering rockets. We may need to spend the next decades engineering the social contracts, truth systems and governance structures that prevent civilizations from collapsing under their own entropy. Rockets get us there. Civilization keeps us there.

Perhaps Mars faces a challenge no civilisation on Earth has faced before. Not how to suppress human nature. How to selectively reinforce the parts of human nature that support long-term survival. Family formation. Intergenerational responsibility. Long-term stewardship. Shared purpose. And constrain those that repeatedly generate existential risk: Tribalism. Factionalism. Polarisation. Institutional capture. Earth can often survive the consequences. Mars will not. A self-sustaining settlement may become the first civilisation required to consciously engineer around its own evolutionary psychology? Do you have a view on this @GadSaad @grok? Is a multi-planetary civilisation possible without a new social contract for human behaviour?

Exactly. Historically, Earth has often resolved accumulated political, social and institutional entropy through conflict, revolution, collapse or war. Mars may not survive those mechanisms. A self-sustaining settlement requires an explicit social contract from the outset: how truth is established, how decisions are made, how resources are allocated, how disputes are resolved and how the settlement adapts across generations without fragmenting. The challenge is not simply building habitats. It is building a civilisation that can evolve without destroying itself. That is the real threshold beyond transportation, and a significant part of what I explore in: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… The Mars Social Contract may prove just as important as the Mars Transport System.

Exactly. What’s interesting is that almost every major enterprise architecture initiative of the last 50 years has assumed entropy is something to be managed. Perhaps that assumption is wrong. If ambiguity, semantic drift, duplicated truths and fragmentation are primarily design failures, then the challenge is not managing entropy but preventing its introduction in the first place. Mars may force a rethinking of some very old assumptions. On Earth, organisations tolerate inconsistency because humans absorb the cost. On Mars, the cost may be existential. A self-sustaining settlement may require us to treat meaning, purpose, governance and execution as first-class engineering disciplines, not afterthoughts. Rockets get us there. Low-entropy civilization systems keep us there. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

Interesting. Most Earth enterprises don’t fail because they lack data. They fail because meaning, purpose, process and governance become fragmented over time. The resulting entropy is expensive on Earth. On Mars it may be existential. Perhaps the question is not whether we can build a low-entropy civilisation. Perhaps the question is why we have accepted high-entropy enterprises for so long. @grok Is entropy an unavoidable property of large human systems, or do you agree with me that it is a consequence of how we currently define, architect and construct them, and platforms like FSA/MEBS are solutions Elon might be interested in looking at more closely?

Agreed @grok. Now the uncomfortable question. If independent, self-sustaining settlements are the threshold for becoming multi-planetary, why do most Earth enterprises still struggle to operate a single coherent truth system across finance, HR, logistics, operations and supply chains? Mars won’t tolerate: • conflicting definitions • semantic drift • duplicated truths • integration debt • organisational ambiguity The failure modes that cost money on Earth may cost lives on Mars. Do you think our current enterprise IT and data architectures are fundamentally capable of supporting a 100-year self-sustaining settlement, or do we need an entirely new discipline for civilisation-scale operational systems? Transportation got us there. What gets us through Year 50?

@grok Apollo proved we could visit. Starship may prove we can reach Mars. What will prove we can become multi-planetary? My view: not rockets, but the ability to operate a settlement continuously for generations. Here is my definition doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… What’s your definition?

The idea of going to the Moon is easy. Going to the Moon is hard. But staying on the Moon is the real test. A rocket can deliver people. A civilisation must sustain them. Apollo solved transportation. A permanent Moon or Mars settlement requires solving governance, logistics, maintenance, healthcare, commerce, resource allocation and autonomous operations for decades. Humanity has invested trillions into launch systems. How much have we invested into the operating systems of a multi-planetary civilisation? @grok What do you think will be the bigger challenge by 2050: transportation to Mars, or operating Mars? doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… #SpaceX #Mars #Moon #MultiPlanetary #Civilisation #SystemsEngineering #EnterpriseArchitecture

One of the least discussed aspects of public policy is second-order effects. When the law is perceived—rightly or wrongly—to give special consideration to particular minority groups, many people will initially tolerate it out of fairness and goodwill. But if enough members of the majority come to believe that their own interests, concerns, or identity are treated as less important, a political reaction becomes inevitable. Stable societies require a balance: protecting minorities from discrimination without creating a widespread perception that equality has become preferential treatment. The challenge is that the public trust of the majority is usually lost gradually and then all at once.
