      Great video! Awesome ending! I'll just ask you to please edit the subtitles in two places: one is at 33:54 Elon mentions if "G" were 10% lower or higher, but the subtitles say "due" and "energy". The other is at 35:37, Elon says "This is false: Mars" but the subtitles read "possible". Thank you again!

    This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it czcams.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

      Imagine Tesla doing a 30 minute interview of which 3 minutes end up in the broadcast. One question is how he balances wprk and live and the other about pleasing some stupid investor.
      Elon is one of the brightest engineers of our time and he is changing the world like very few have befpre him. Having those records; him taking his time to speak to those who want to listen is amazing and incredibly valuable.
      For those who listen now; those who will listen in the future and those in the future that will listen to history as it happened and see the brilliant mind operate with their own eyes.

      @@xPRODIGYxGAMER Interesting.. So far every time they’ve tested this, it’s failed. They used to have signs over the operation tables, because people always described floating above and seeing what’s going on. But it always fails, because it’s just something the brain does when it’s dying or starving of oxygen, or other symptoms. Like deja vu, our brains make things up to fill in the gaps we can’t remember, but to us, feels like a real experience.

Just imagine how many people will lose their jobs because of Tesla Robotaxis and this is only the beginning, many jobs are going to be replaced by AI and Robots, just imaging the disaster this will cost. Not only that, imaging people connecting their brains to the internet. Looks like nobody sees how dangerous this can be. Just imaging a hacker stealing information directly for your brain or implanting new memories. We are still very dumm. I really don't know how we are going to be able to make it and survive as species.

Also, driver sensing ("torque at the wheel"/auto pilot) invigorates fun and safety, for sure. The "pale blue dot" is somewhat unique. Encourages imagination incorporating all these factors mentioned.👩🏿‍🚀

    That last part with the reading of the great Carl Sagan’s book closing was powerful. Thank you. I think Elon really felt proud at that moment.

      Carl Sagan was very eloquent. Very few scientists had the gift of poetry at the time.

      That is .. when he's being sensitively, knowledgeably and intelligently interviewed.
      Stark contrast to Kara Swisher as an interviewer.

      I've noticed this whenever he has an interviewer that's actually listening and understanding or at least trying to understand him. His speech is a lot more precise, and he talks about such interesting topics. I think it was EverydayAstronaut that interviewed him after the reveal of Starship last month, that was an amazing interview too, short, but very informative. Joe Rogan, also reached that level of comfortable speech with him. It's really great to hear.

      He seems to prefer people with a technical background trying to understand the nuances of his ideas than regular journalist/analysts looking for soundbites.

    Keep pushing the vision to act on our needs in the long run
