<p>There is also one of my favorite talks tangentially related by Lawrence Krauss. He explains that eventually a civilization exploring the universe around them will only see it's own galaxy and likely believe that's all there is.   
We are living in an extraordinary time where we are still able to see other galaxies.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo</a></p>

<p>Liberal by definition is anti-racist. A major tenet of liberalism is egalitarianism and it's what allows free market capitalism.<p>Maybe you should go educate yourself about what Liberalism is before appointing yourself the racism police on Hackernews.<p>I'm a liberal and I've said I prefer not having more racists in California with illiberal sentiment. That is the opposite of racist.<p>There is a long history of America enforcing white racial integrity which you seem to be naive to. As a native Californian I think it's fair to be weary.<p>I stand by not wanting more transplants in my state and it's not just me.</p>

<p>Why do you think there are so many posts about people wanting to leave California?<p>Do you think it's really all about taxes? It's not.<p>The prevailing rhetoric of California being "bad" is mostly  political and has racist anti-liberal roots.<p>By shutting down counter views you're allowing those racist viewpoints to prosper.<p>And by the way, none of your rhetoric counters what is historical fact.<p>The plurality of California are not Hispanic by pure accident.<p>Lastly, it should be possible to have a rational discussion about demographics on this site without people over reacting and name calling.</p>

<p>settled != colonized<p>California indigenous who settled and mestizos who colonized share the same haplogroup d dna.<p>They are the same people.<p>And for what it's worth the massive anglo/white immigration into California has been tantamount to ethnic replacement - not just in California but all over this continent.<p>So excuse me if I don't cry a river over fewer transplants.</p>

<p>No, we get it.<p>DeFi is being able to trade unregulated equities or lend on their collateral on decentralized exchanges with transactions guaranteed by code.<p>In other words, it's for degens that think avoiding taxes on shitcoin trading is peak crypto.<p>There are other interesting things on blockchains that can be done outside of decentralized finance. But trading shitcoins is what people are getting off on right now.<p>It reminds me of how porn is almost always first in new technology adoption.</p>

<p>A lot of people complain about California policies, but I don't ever see anyone stop to think that maybe those policies aren't there to serve them. That is, perhaps they aren't the constituency those policies were implemented for.<p>And maybe America and certainly California don't need half the country moving to just one state.</p>

<p>Many of these companies have been making cars for generations.<p>Toyota for example is set to introduce prototypes with solid state batteries in 2021.<p>Most consumers will opt for their familiar and reliable Camry that happens to run on batteries.<p>Tesla will need something new to entice consumers. But, I just don't see much more innovation outside battery tech happening.</p>
