The most important thing Elon said in this interview is that our Limbic system dictates how the cerebrum functions. Our cerebral cortex is simply trying to keep our limbic system happy. When AI is sophisticated enough to understand this, we stand zero chance of survival as a species. There will be a period before our demise when we actually have AI that is good enough for us to manipulate/enhance our abilities, but this euphoric period will not last long as AI will surpass even our most heightened abilities due to the limitations of our physical form. I have more respect for Joe Rogan after watching this as well. I think he really said the right things for Elon to open up and share some pretty amazing thoughts.
could be but what a shame they had to resort to high school douchebaggery and the 'look at me I'm cool cuz I get high' nonsense.

LOL, so naive.
Ponzi was also considered a brilliant living mind in his day.

Discussing limbic system is TED bro-science at this point.
Hardly anything brilliant.

interesting...

So how is a moment of inertia, used to measure an object's ability to resist torsion (or used to measure an object's ability to resist bending) Different than a moment of inertia which characterizes an object's angular acceleration due to an applied torque? --other than being scalar vs vector. :cool:

Would he be investigated if he was only drinking booze during the interview? I don't see the difference, now that pot is 100% legal to consume here. :confused:

island911 09-08-2018 09:30 AM
I had the same thought. Of course if you think State's rights trump Federal contracts...

Totally irrelevant. Drug use including marijuana is not allowed if you have a government security clearance. If I lived in CA and smoked pot I’d still get canned because it’s against company policy. Much like showing up to work after drinking, even if it’s not against the law it can still get you fired.

He won’t get arrested but his security clearance might get revoked.

Not 100% legal. Marijuana is still 100% illegal at the Federal Level, which is what counts. SmileWavy

His head of Tesla HR resigned. I imagine it’s hard to ensure that you have an unimpaired workforce when the CEO is openly toking. Time to move him to emeritus-status.

The Chief Accounting Officer also just resigned after only 30 days.

Especially when you have security clearances.
Hence why they're investigating...

Just finished watching the podcast.
I’d wager if he was tested for THC it might not show up at all.
That was a tobacco/weed combo thingy they had.
Also, he later said he felt no affect....er, effect. Yeah, that one.
I have no horse in this fight...or dog in this race...don’t care either way.

Social media will do what they do.
Facts be damned.

No?

Could it be that you are confused?

What you are saying is akin to being pedantic over someone commenting on a 911's low c.g. (center of gravity) when what they really mean is center of mass Z height as a relative function of X, Y tire-contact distances. :rolleyes:

Polar moment (of inertia) is a purposeful simplification/subset of (mass) moment of inertia. While it is used in beam theory to describe relative placement of cross-section to an axis, it is still, mathematically, moment of inertia.

So, for purposes of simplified vehicle dynamics discussion it has utility, as what it does is imply that one is considering only the frontish/rearish weight (mass) distribution as seen from a plan-view (looking down) of the car on a plane (flat road) about a perpendicular (normal) axis to said plane. (some relative yaw center)

To insist on not using polar moment is to say you want to consider only the 3-D tensor of the moment at any given ...er... moment. Which is fine. But don't claim that people are confused if they speak of polar moment. :)

I’ll defer to you guys on this one. I don’t know much about the subject of clearances.

Not a fan of either. But this is funny

Like I effin care....lol. Just quoting Wiki reference. If it's so important to you look it up..

I thought that as well. It'd be ok if he was drinking Scotch though. I'd suggest he would be more coherent after a joint than after half a dozen Scotches.

Putting the drug arguments aside for a minute...

At work, if you do a random urine test on an employee and it come back positive for illegal drugs, what happens to that employee?

Just recently a guy I know was discharged from the Aust Army for testing positive to cannabis.
This is after more than 20 years service with no prior record.
Imagine how much money was spent on training and paying this guy and the sacked him for smoking weed? :confused:

The whole "illegal drugs" thing is completely nutbags IMO!

dewolf 09-09-2018 10:07 PM
^ Funny that Peter. It would've been fine if he had alcohol in his system though. Would've been told to go home and sleep it off. And let's face it.....the Australian Army does really have a drinking culture. Have friends who wnet in and didn't drink. Turned into raging drunks in no short order.
