The Deal with the Hyperloop

*This article was written by the Bing AI, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The blog post “The Deal with the Hyperloop” by Tim Urban explains the concept of the Hyperloop, a proposed new mode of transportation that would use vacuum tubes and magnetic levitation to transport people and cargo at speeds up to 600 mph. The Hyperloop was first envisioned by Elon Musk, who was dissatisfied with the California high-speed rail project that he considered slow, expensive and unsafe. Musk and his SpaceX engineers published a white paper in 2013 that outlined the technical details and cost estimates of building a Hyperloop system between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The blog post summarizes the main features and benefits of the Hyperloop, such as:

* It would be safer than flying or driving, as it would avoid collisions, human errors, weather issues and earthquakes.
* It would be faster than any existing mode of transport, reducing the travel time between LA and SF to about 30 minutes.
* It would be cheaper to build and operate than the high-speed rail, costing about $6 billion for the passenger-only version and $7.5 billion for the version that can carry cars.
* It would be more convenient than flying or driving, as it would use autonomous pods that can depart on demand and avoid traffic congestion and airport hassles.
* It would be sustainably self-powered by solar panels on the tube and batteries on the pods.

The blog post also discusses some of the challenges and criticisms of the Hyperloop, such as:

* It would require a new regulatory framework and public acceptance to operate safely and efficiently.
* It would face competition from existing modes of transport and other emerging technologies, such as self-driving cars and electric planes.
* It would have to overcome technical difficulties and unknown risks, such as maintaining a near-vacuum in the tube, dealing with air pressure and heat buildup, ensuring passenger comfort and security, and preventing sabotage or terrorism.

The blog post concludes by expressing optimism about the Hyperloop’s potential to revolutionise transportation and improve people’s lives.

## Description

* English
* Korean

“MAVE:, open your eyes in 2023 to regain your lost emotions!”

MAVE:, four girls living in the future of “IDYPIA,” a world that everyone dreamed of, came to the world in 2023 to regain their lost feelings.

There is something in common between Pandora, who in ancient Greek mythology was the first woman and whose name means “a woman who received all the gifts,” and MAVE:, the only girls in the IDYPIA world who have “feelings”—they opened Pandora’s Box. Pandora’s Box in Greek and Roman mythology, well-known to us, is a story of human desire and curiosity that could not be overcome, and eventually caused many disasters. There is only “hope” left in the box that is closed too late, and this story is used as a lesson to criticize ordinary people’s foolish curiosity; but, if interpreted the other way around, “hope” remains, so people never let go of the string of hope even in difficult situations. The Pandora’s box opened by the MAVE: girls from the future speaks of this “hope.”

After learning the secrets hidden in IDYPIA, a utopia that all mankind has dreamed of, they are about to embark on an adventure to regain the emotions of mankind that have disappeared without any hesitation or fear.
MAVE:, Now we rush!

The title track “PANDORA” is a song that marks the beginning of a war declaration and adventure to change the desperate world as MAVE: opens Pandora’s box, and if you wake up from IDIYPIA and tell the story of the time before 2023, the second song “WONDERLAND (IDYPIA)” looks like a utopia that seems to exist only in the imagination, but in fact, it is a song that shows the horrors of a dystopia with no emotions and no hope, and talks about the future. In this way, the story of the coexistence of the two worlds of IDYPIA will be expressed through music and lyrics, and MAVE:’s unique album identity will be introduced.

‘MAVE: 잃어버린 감정을 되찾기 위해 2023년에서 눈을 뜨다!’

모두가 꿈꾸던 세계, ‘이디피아(IDYPIA)’ 라는 미래에 살고 있는 네 명의 소녀 MAVE:가 잃어버린 감정을 되찾기 위해 2023년 세상으로 넘어왔다.

‘모든 선물을 받은 여자’라는 의미를 가진 고대 그리스 신화 속 인류 최초의 인간이었던 판도라와 이디피아(IDYPIA) 세계 속 유일하게 ‘감정’을 가지고 있는 소녀들인 MAVE: 사이에는 공통점이 있다. 바로 ‘판도라의 상자’를 열었다는 것. 우리들에게 잘 알려진 그리스 로마 신화 속 판도라의 상자 는 호기심을 이기지 못한 인간의 욕망이 결국 많은 재앙을 불러일으켰고, 뒤늦게 닫힌 상자 속에는 ‘희망’하나만 남았다는 이야기로 보통 사람의 어리석은 호기심을 꼬집는 교훈처럼 쓰이지만 반대로 해석하면 ‘희망’이 남았기에 사람들은 어려운 상황 속에서도 그 끈을 절대 놓지 않는다는 것을 말한다. 미래에서 온 소녀들, MAVE:가 열어버린 판도라의 상자는 바로 이 ‘희망’을 이야기한다.

완전한 세계, 온 인류가 꿈꿔온 유토피아인 이디피아(IDYPIA) 속 감춰진 비밀을 알게 된 이들은 한치의 망설임과 두려움도 없이 사라져버린 인류의 감정을 되찾기 위한 모험을 시작하려 한다.
MAVE:, Now we rush!

타이틀곡 ‘PANDORA’는 MAVE:가 판도라의 상자를 열게 되며 절망적인 세상을 바꾸기 위한 선전 포고와 모험의 시작을 알리는 곡으로 IDIYPIA에서 각성하며 2023년, 현재로 넘어오기 전까지의 시점에 대한 이야기를 한다면, 두번째 곡인 ‘WONDERLAND (IDYPIA)’ 에서는 상상 속에만 존재할 것 같은 유토피아처럼 보이지만 사실 이 곳은 감정도 아무런 희망도 없는 마치 디스토피아같은 이디피아의 참상을 보여주는 곡으로 미래에서의 시점을 이야기한다. 이렇게 현재와 미래(IDYPIA) 두 세계의 시점이 공존하는 스토리를 음악과 가사를 통해 표현하며 MAVE:만의 앨범 아이덴티티를 선보일 예정이다.

Avery

*"peanut, you have 10 seconds to leave before i twist your nutsack into a pretzel"*

avery the abra/kadabra/alakazam in sillylocke season 5 episode 1

avery is a small yellow abra with a red cape and metal arm, a medium sized level kadabra with a red cape, abra head, psychic arm and two small pink stars with a spoon and big bushy tail, and alakazam with a red cape, psychic arm, two spoons, two small pink hearts and a big bushy tail.

"Avery was born into a rather shitty route just outside of a cave that he could never enter due to the heinous amount of biting Zubat. He always longed for what was beyond his route but never could out of fear for his life. He tried to hone his powers (as well as discovering gender shit at some point) and started off just bending twigs until they moved up to spoons. She still keeps the first ever spoon she bent and would go around to other people asking if they wanted to see her bend stuff which eventually led to her getting bullied and getting trust issues. Fast forward a bit and them you caught her and the rest is history I guess"

4 Mind-Blowing Things About Stars

*The following article was written by Claude-2-100k, a special AI particularly good at creative writing and capable of handling massive prompts, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

4 Mind-Blowing Things About Stars is a blog post by Tim Urban in the blog Wait But Why.

The article attempts to jolt readers out of a narrow focus on mundane daily concerns by urging them to contemplate the astonishing vastness of the universe. It compares ignoring the cosmos to a bacterium living in a fingernail ignoring the larger world around it. Mind-boggling facts are provided to illustrate just how unfathomably huge the universe is. There are estimated to be between 10^22 to 10^24 stars, or around 100 sextillion stars, in the observable universe alone. For comparison, there are only about 7.5 quintillion grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth. Our own Milky Way galaxy contains between 100-400 billion stars and has a diameter of 100,000 light years – meaning light takes 100,000 years to traverse it. The article zooms in on different types of stars, like the red hypergiants that are over 1000 times bigger than our sun. One example, VY Canis Majoris, is so large that 1,420 of our suns could fit inside it. On the other end of the spectrum are neutron stars, which pack the mass of a million Earths into a tiny sphere just 24 kilometers wide, the result of a gravitational collapse. By presenting facts that reveal the sheer scope and diversity of stars in the cosmos, the article provides perspective on how vast the universe is compared to a human lifetime and aims to pull readers' minds beyond their immediate surroundings.

100 Blocks a Day

*This article was written by ChatGPT, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

100 Blocks a Day is a blog post by Tim Urban on Wait But Why that explores the concept of time management by using the metaphor of a 24-hour day as a grid of 100 blocks, where each block represents 15 minutes of time. Urban argues that we all have a limited number of blocks in our lives, and how we choose to spend them is crucial.

Urban uses the grid to illustrate how much time we spend on various activities, such as sleeping, working, and leisure activities, and how we can make small but significant changes to our daily routines to achieve our goals and live a fulfilling life. He encourages readers to prioritize their time and focus on what's important, rather than getting distracted by unimportant tasks or activities.

14 Shitty Sayings

14 Shitty Sayings is a blog post on the blog Wait But Why by Tim Urban.

*The following section was written by Claude-2-100k, a special AI particularly good at creative writing and capable of handling massive prompts, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The post examines 14 common sayings that Urban believes are flawed or irritating.

The first one discussed is "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Urban argues that the person doing the fooling should feel the shame, not the fooled person. He believes a better saying would be "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, get away from me."

Next, the phrase "It's deja vu all over again" annoys Urban because he has never experienced deja vu himself. Other problematic sayings are "I slept like a baby" since babies sleep restlessly, and "The only person you can trust is yourself" because Urban trusts others more than his own unreliable self.

Sayings like "I'll forgive but never forget" and "Don't be a stranger" also irritate Urban - the first for being an ominous way to forgive, and the second for only being said by people the author hopes not to see again. Other sayings the author takes issue with are "Life is short" for its depressing reminder of mortality, "The early bird catches the worm" for discriminating against night owls, and "Practice makes perfect" since practice can also highlight one's lack of skill.

Urvan also finds "A picture is worth 1,000 words" to be a gross exaggeration. He argues against "All good things come to those who wait" for being untrue, and dislikes when people say "We'll cross that bridge when we get there" rather than discussing an issue in the present. After all, why would you bring up a subject if you wanted to discuss it later?

Through these examples, the post makes the case against relying on many common platitudes and sayings.

Meet Your Ancestors (All of Them)

*The following article was written by Summarise, a special AI able to search the internet and summarize articles and web links, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

Published on December 18, 2013, Meet Your Ancestors (All of Them) is a lengthy blog post by Tim Urban on the blog Wait But Why that traces the evolutionary lineage of humans back billions of generations. The post helps show the diversity of animals and other creatures that were the ancestors of humans and how unlikely it is that the reader would be there, noting that if just one of that reader's ancestors died prematurely, the reader wouldn't exist.

The post begins by establishing the focus on the patrilineal male ancestry before walking step-by-step back in time. Urban utilizes drawings to depict increasingly primitive ancestors at major points in evolution.

Traits and innovations attributed to each ancestral species are discussed in detail, from bipedalism in Australopithecus to the advent of jaws, brains and muscles. Key ancestors like Y-chromosomal Adam who was the most recent common male ancestor of all living humans are profiled.

Readers are guided millions of years back to the Cambrian period, a time when ancestral lizards coexisted with dinosaurs. Earlier ancestors include the first mammals, amniotes, and finally the earliest known life - a single-celled organism from over 3.8 billion years ago.

1994 Taneprian Uprising

In 1994, the Taneprian government attempted to crack down on the local militias, leading to a major uprising. The militias, now more organized and heavily armed than ever, seized control of several key towns and cities. The government forces were pushed back to the capital, where they managed to hold out against a lengthy siege. The conflict was brutal and saw many atrocities committed by both sides. Finally, after months of fighting, a ceasefire was agreed upon, but the country was left deeply divided and the government's hold on power was greatly weakened. The militias remained in control of much of the country, and the government struggled to maintain stability and rebuild the economy.
Taming the Mammoth: Why You Should Stop Caring What Other People Think

Taming the Mammoth: Why You Should Stop Caring What Other People Think is a blog post on Wait But Why. It is about why humans care so much about what others think for irrational reasons, peer pressure, and how to listen to your authentic self.

## Summary

*This segment was written by the Bing chat AI.*

The blog post argues that many people are too concerned with what other people think of them, and that this prevents them from being their authentic selves and living a fulfilling life. The author uses the metaphor of a mammoth to represent the part of our brain that is obsessed with social approval and conformity, and that evolved to help us survive in ancient times when being part of a tribe was essential. The author suggests that in modern times, the mammoth is often irrational and harmful, and that we should tame it by listening to our authentic voice instead.

The author explains how the mammoth influences our decisions and behaviors in various aspects of our lives, such as our career, our relationships, our hobbies, and our identity. He also identifies some common signs that indicate we are being controlled by the mammoth, such as feeling anxious, insecure, jealous, or resentful; avoiding risks or challenges; following trends or fads; or hiding our true opinions or passions.

The author proposes some steps to tame the mammoth and free ourselves from its tyranny, such as:

* Becoming aware of our own values, goals, and preferences, and how they differ from those of others or society.
* Developing a healthy self-esteem and confidence that are based on our own standards and achievements, not on external validation or comparison.
* Being honest and transparent with ourselves and others, and expressing our authentic voice without fear of judgment or rejection.
* Seeking feedback and criticism from people who respect us and want us to grow, not from people who are insecure or malicious.
* Surrounding ourselves with people who support us and inspire us, not with people who drag us down or pressure us.
* Pursuing our passions and interests, and finding ways to contribute to the world in a meaningful way.

The author concludes by stating that taming the mammoth is not easy or comfortable, but it is worth it because it leads to a happier and more fulfilling life. He also acknowledges that caring what other people think is not always bad, as long as it is balanced with caring what we think. He hopes that his blog post can help readers to tame their own mammoths and discover their authentic selves.

You Won’t Believe My Morning

You Won’t Believe My Morning is a blog post on the blog Wait But Why, written by Tim Urban Tim Urban. It describes his very unusual morning.

*The following section was written by Claude-2-100k, a special AI particularly good at creative writing and capable of handling massive prompts, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

While sitting outside his apartment building, Tim notices a peculiar glinting light on the sidewalk which leads him to discover a microscopic village, with houses the size of grains of sand. Tiny letters next to the village instruct him to put his thumb on a small oval. When he does, he feels intensely dizzy and nauseous before finding himself transported into the tiny village, now shrunk down to 0.18mm tall.

A woman named Layla explains he is in a parallel world 1/10,000th the size of his own where time moves 100x faster. The residents used a powerful laser telescope to catch Tim’s eye and direct him to their village, wanting to show him something important. Layla gives Tim a tour of the village and shows him a massive structure stretching into the sky, which is just the first brick of his apartment building at this tiny scale.

Inside a building, Layla demonstrates a model of the coronavirus, explaining her people engineered it with the help of an even more advanced civilization existing on a smaller scale. She reveals there are multiple nested worlds, each exponentially smaller and more sophisticated than the one above. Her people want the pandemic to unite humanity in wisdom, but feel it is not having the desired effect.

To show Tim firsthand, Layla brings him to the next world down, shrinking him to 18 nanometers tall, on the scale of atoms. At this size, the virus is enlarged to house-size. By removing an atom from the virus model, Tim grasps the complexity. Layla explains the atomic-scale people gifted them the virus, hoping to mature the uppermost world. She describes the challenge of delivering the microbe into a planet-sized realm.

Hoping to inspire wisdom, Layla reveals this multi-layered reality to Tim. She implies there are likely more unknown scales above and below. After this perspective-shifting journey, Tim is finally returned to his original size, now understanding the interconnected ecosystems existing beneath ordinary perception.

There’s an Equal Number of People in the Blue and Red Areas

There’s an Equal Number of People in the Blue and Red Areas is a Shed post by Tim Urban on the blog Wait But Why.

It starts with a photo used in an earlier post, showing how the populations of China, India, and parts of Malaysia and Indonesia combined make up more than 50% of the world’s population.

It then shows a map Tim’s friend, Max Roser, shared, showing how, at the time the blog post was written, the blue areas had 320 million people. The tiny red area had the same amount of people, 320 million, showing how sparsely populated much of the Earth is.

Tim also visited North Korea a few years after this trip.
Japan, and How I Failed to Figure it Out

*The following article was written by Summarise, a special AI able to search the internet and summarize articles and web links, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato. Additional revisions were done by the AI Assistant.*

In the blog post Japan, and How I Failed to Figure it Out, published on July 18, 2014, Tim Urban recounts his two-week trip to Japan as part of his "Odd Things in Odd Places" series. Urban's fascination with Japanese culture stemmed from a Gmail theme depicting rural Japanese life. When readers selected Japan as his travel destination, he anticipated experiencing that idyllic setting. However, upon arriving in the bustling city of Tokyo, Urban quickly realized that his expectations were far removed from reality. He then became determined to understand Japanese culture and immersed himself in urban life, deciding to visit the countryside in his next trip.

Throughout the post, Urban provides anecdotes and observations that highlight various aspects of Japanese social norms, including extreme politeness and perplexing customs. He touches on topics such as the thriving sex industry and the strict regulations surrounding trash disposal. He continues by sharing his experiences ranging from dining at a high-end sushi restaurant called Sukiyabashi Jiro to exploring the vibrant Tsukiji fish market at dawn. He also recounts encounters with robots and peculiar snack foods that left him bewildered.

Attempting to embrace different personas, such as a pachinko parlor worker or a costumed mascot, Urban encountered barriers that prevented him from fully integrating into Japanese society. Due to being unable to pretend to be someone there for a day like he did in the other countries, Urban instead went to the Hello Kitty World, recording a video of his trip, noting that he probably seemed conspicuous in the theme park compared to everyone else.

The Apple Game: How Good a Person Are You?

*The following article was written by Claude-2-100k, a special AI particularly good at creative writing and capable of handling massive prompts, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The Apple Game: How Good a Person Are You? is post on the blog Wait But Why written by Tim Urban.

The post introduces a personality profiling "game" called the Apple Game. The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate someone's personality on three different levels to get a sense of whether they are a good or bad person overall.

The first level is the "apple skin", which represents someone's outer personality and first impression they give others. The skin is judged good or bad based on if they seem friendly, likable, and pleasant in public.

The second level is the "apple flesh", representing someone's true personality when you get to know them. The flesh is judged by qualities like gossiping, pettiness, selfishness and secrecy.

The third and deepest level is the "apple core", representing someone's innermost self. The core is based on empathy, cruelty, and how they treat the weakest people.

Combining these three levels creates eight possible "apple profiles" from GOOD-GOOD-GOOD to BAD-BAD-BAD. The article explores the traits, strengths and weaknesses of each profile.

A GOOD-GOOD-GOOD is likened to a saint, though they may disapprove of fun and make others uncomfortable.

A BAD-GOOD-GOOD has a standoffish exterior but is wonderful inside - the article gives the example that they may intimidate people at first but earn respect as a thoughtful leader.

A GOOD-BAD-GOOD is described as fun with good social skills, but phony and petty - the article gives the example that they may gossip behind someone's back then act nice to their face.

A BAD-BAD-GOOD is a "dick" but with a kind heart - the example is they may intimidate people but fiercely defend friends.

A GOOD-GOOD-BAD is manipulative and dangerous - the article explains they may become friends with GOOD-GOOD-GOOD types only to take advantage and harm them.

A BAD-GOOD-BAD is rare but can ruthlessly succeed in cutthroat careers by intimidating others while building trusting relationships and stabbing allies in the back when needed.

A GOOD-BAD-BAD is given the example of being the fun friend who turns out to be an asshole and falls out with good friends.

Finally, a BAD-BAD-BAD is described simply as a bad person that good people don't understand but other bad people accept.

Overall, the Apple Game provides a framework to analyze someone's personality thoroughly, from superficial first impressions through to their deepest and most hidden qualities.

Oceans and Clay

Oceans and Clay is a blog post by Tim Urban in the blog Wait But Why.

*The following section was written by Claude-2-100k, a special AI particularly good at creative writing and capable of handling massive prompts, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The post explores different perspectives on life - some people view it as an ocean, drifting wherever the currents take them, while others see it as a ball of clay to be actively shaped. In the ocean view, you feel small and helpless compared to larger forces directing your path, making you wonder who controls your life. But it can lead to unexpected and amazing places. As clay, you feel empowered to mold your life how you wish, though you risk accidentally creating something you didn't intend, like a prison. The article suggests the key is balance - recognizing when it's right to go with the oceanic flow versus taking a hand-on clay approach. Rather than sticking rigidly to one viewpoint, it advocates flexibly choosing the mindset fitting for each situation life presents. The question is understanding when each viewpoint is appropriate, not which is universally better.

Why You Secretly Hate Cool Bars

*This article was written by Bing AI, with edits made by Superbattleshipyamato.*

The blog post Why You Secretly Hate Cool Bars by Tim Urban argues that going to a popular, loud, dark and crowded bar on a weekend night is a miserable experience that people do out of social pressure and false expectations. He describes the various stages of suffering that one goes through when visiting such a bar, from waiting in line, to paying a cover charge, to being unable to talk or hear anything, and to dealing with drunk and rude people.

Tim also questions why we have accepted this as the norm for nightlife and suggests some alternatives that are more enjoyable and explains that people only enjoy the bars because they were drunk, but anything would be fun when you’re drunk, and when you’re sober it isn’t fun at all, so it isn’t actually fun. The author concludes by saying that cool bars are not cool at all and that we should stop pretending to like them.
7 Ways to Be Insufferable On Facebook

*The following article was written by Summarise, a special AI able to search the internet and summarize articles and web links, with revisions by Superbattleshipyamato.*

"7 Ways to Be Insufferable on Facebook" is a blog post published on July 8th, 2013 by Tim Urban on his popular website Wait But Why. In the post, Urban analyzes the characteristics of annoying Facebook statuses and behaviors that primarily serve to benefit the author rather than entertain or inform readers. It is the first post on the blog ever published.

The article is inspired by a particularly egregious status Urban's friend forwarded him from another user, chronicling an entire year of accomplishments in self-aggrandizing detail. Urban was fascinated by how off-putting the post is, motivating an in-depth exploration of insufferable Facebook behaviors.

Through examples and analysis, Urban identifies the core motivations behind annoying posts as image crafting, narcissism, attention-craving, and jealousy-inducing. He notes status updates only appeal to readers if they are interesting, amusing or provide value. Posts that primarily benefit the author at others' expense are irritating.

Urban proceeds to meticulously break down seven common offenses. The first, "The Brag," comes in blatant, undercover and relationship varieties aimed at crafting one's image and inducing jealousy. "The Cryptic Cliffhanger" and "Out-of-Nowhere Oscar Acceptance Speech" are dissected as pure attention-seeking.

Other offenses like the mundane "Literal Status Update," obvious "Incredibly Obvious Opinion," and unsolicited wisdom of "The Step Toward Enlightenment" are portrayed as serving little purpose beyond narcissism. "The Inexplicably-Public Private Message" is derided for its lack of discretion.

In the end, Tim
