The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - and spiders. #SpaceX #Tesla #AI I might not share your politics, but that is okay. We can still be friends

@engineers_feed I have a number, but I am going to go all retro and throw out 1951 When Worlds Collide. I am probably biased - I really loved both books "When Worlds Collide" & "After Worlds Collide" by Edwin Balmer & Philip Wylie before I saw the movie. https://t.co/WgeDZG1iSw

@jeffdeist @PressSec should check out John Stuart Mill’s book On Liberty. Paying special attention to The tyranny of the majority (or tyranny of the masses) Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

@JeremyTate41 As a really young child - Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss. I still love that story. When I was 8 or 9 - I loved all of Robert Heinlein’s juvenile fiction. Rocket ship Galileo & Red Planet were early favorites. https://t.co/dsM2o8Pxyt
