The Timeline

Hey there - we just published a new piece.

How many times have you heard the timeline for:

  • AGI

  • Fusion power

  • Widespread renewable energy

  • Medical improvements

  • Self-driving cars

  • Humans on Mars

  • Really any kind of new technology

Our guess is: a lot. 2026, 2030, 2050, 2060, perhaps even 2090 (since 2100 always feels so far away, you know, for a timeline). Here are some short ideas on all of these “timelines”, whether they are helpful, and what we can do about them.

Cheers,

- Carter and Jordan
