This seems very profound to me - as is much of what Scott Galloway has to say. I have become a fan of his.
“Economies are defined by scarcity, not abundance (scarcity = value). Today, information is abundant, attention is scarce.”
This quote is from No Mercy/No Malice.

Hey, remember when Elon Musk was going save hundreds of billions of dollars by revoking Social Security benefits for dead people? Didn't happen, because hardly any dead people were getting Social Security. Instead, there's been a big *increase* in Social Security recipients since Musk's DC stint.

If this math is correct, smart governments would see a clear path forward.
Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.
