13. Have a message you're actually enthusiastic to tell people.
The audience can quickly tell if someone is there because they want to talk about the topic they're presenting, and having a receptive audience makes it much easier to get on stage to talk about it. If the audience knows you're there because you want another line on your resume or because you're trying to sell them something the atmosphere can turn quite cold and that is a world of pain for a speaker.
it's physically painful for me to stop talking about my topic

The critiques of 'circular funding' don't really make sense to me. If you invest 20 billion and you get back 20 billion, your profit is the same. Sure your revenues look higher but investors have access to all that information and should be taking that into account, just like all the other financial data.
Michael Burry is betting against AI growth translating into real profits as a whole, not the circular funding.
It's certainly a problem when circular investment structures are used to get around legal limits on the amount of leverage or fractional reserve, or to dodge taxes from bringing offshore funds onshore.

To say the quiet part out loud, I don't think any serious companies have any intention to build a data center in space. There is no benefit in actually trying this. There is however, benefit in saying you'll do it to advance a narrative and distract from the problems terrestrial data centers are facing to an audience that mostly doesn't understand how heat transfer in a vacuum works.
To say the even quieter part out loud, datacenters are colonial encampments (like energy projects). Space has no indigenous people to colonize.

There's only one electron. It looks like separate ones because it's traveling backwards and forwards in time.

That's a lot of economic theorizing, but to me, it doesn't seem to be substantiated all that well.
You can just as well argue that labor is getting more expensive in the West because of two non-market pressures. First, we have a multitude of government programs that seek to eliminate extreme poverty, so there are fewer people who are desperate to take any job for any money. Second, you have consumer protection policies that make it genuinely expensive to, say, be a HVAC repairman. Educational requirements, permits, licensing, business insurance, waste disposal, etc.
On my neighborhood Facebook group, every time someone asks for recommendations for menial, minimally-skilled backyard labor, they always insist the person needs to be licensed, bonded, and insured. And then, they're surprised that it costs $10,000 to paint a fence.
it's not surprising that you've picked up some unsubstantiated protestant dogma disguised as economic theory, if you are hanging out on facebook neighborhood groups

The question posed sounds like "why should we have deterministic behavior if we can have non-deterministic behavior instead?"
Am I wrong to think that the answer is obvious? I mean, who wants web apps to behave differently every time you interact with them?
Designing a system with deterministic behavior would require the developer to think. Human-Computer Interaction experts agree that a better policy is to "Don't Make Me Think" [1]
