Palmer Luckey is easily my favorite living inventor, and probably — full disclosure — this has something to do with the fact that separate from my awe of what he’s built throughout his life, he’s a fundamentally good person, and a friend. Today, I have the great honor of presenting you all with our ninety minute conversation.
Topics including: our astronauts are stuck in space, how do we save them, how the hell did this happen, and why has the Blob State dragged its feet on tapping Elon? Then: Anduril's Arsenal-1, the state of U.S. manufacturing, a conversation on tariffs, the evolution of Trump’s appeal in Silicon Valley, Google’s latest activist hysteria, the state of media (and Palmer’s Christ-like forgiveness of the haters and the losers), our vanishing internet, Palmer's most heretical thoughts, making babies, and a hopeful vision for the future.
