The AK-47 was not the first automatic rifle nor the most powerful or advanced. But because of its clean design and deployability, it is likely the most significant firearm in modern human history.
What about those statistics that show that a relative modest reduction in consumption would do more to save the environment and energy supplies than any foreseeable technological breakthrough in the next 50 years? Any refinement of technology today to reduce consumption would likely bore someone like Thiel; at the same time, they may also do more to save the world. Why is break-out innovation not to be respected?
