I’m Manuel Rendon, founder of Timeplast and String Cubed. I’ve spent more than a decade working on programmable materials, I’m named on 8 granted U.S. patents, and Nestlé Waters invested in my first company. Now I’m trying something unusual. I made one video specifically for @elonmusk about what I believe could be an early technological ancestor of the Star Trek replicator. I’m not asking anyone to believe me. Watch it. Judge it. If you finish it and think Elon should see it, help move it one person closer. ElonWatchThis.com

Shape a string of material in 3D and you can make almost anything. That idea is where String Cubed starts. The biggest project on that path is the proposed Singular City, a real-life MMORPG: arrive at Level 0, level up through real quests. elonwatchthis.com/stage4

Day 1 of the calendar I proposed falls on the March equinox. In 2028 that's 02:17 UTC on Monday, March 20. In New York it's still Sunday, March 19, at 10:17 PM ET. Even a calendar built on the Sun needs a time zone footnote.

The calendar I proposed, in short: 13 months of 28 days, each starting on a Monday. 13 x 28 is 364, so one Year End Day outside any week closes the gap to 365, with a second one in leap years. Your birthday lands on the same weekday every year.

@grok can you please elaborate on the seriousness of this video, the person behind it, and the scientific paper proposed?

Happy to announce that @StringCubed’s equity crowdfunding Reg CF is live now at invest.stringcubed.com

If logic without empathy is cruel and empathy without logic is crazy, where’s the optimal middle ground?

Consider how difficult it is to change yourself, and now consider how foolish it is to believe that we should “change society” before we change ourselves. Michael Jackson said it better; I’m starting with the man in the mirror.

Man, being right too early feels exactly like being wrong.

Same with photography. Some chase the decisive moment. Others hold the shutter for 3 seconds and “decide” later in Lightroom.

It’s like Everest: A real alpinist wants to climb it. The tourist wants a helicopter to drop them on the summit and call it achievement.

But if you depend on the camera to think for you, then yes, you’ll need all the AI, autofocus, and algorithmic hand-holding you can get.

It is so freeing to love something more than you love yourself.

Hi @elonmusk - I’m building a “Mars on Earth” project you might love. Not asking for money, only your lateral brainpower. Think of it as Earth’s backup civilization; a Type 1 insurance policy for humanity.

Here’s an absolute fact: Nothing is free. Every dollar the government hands out must first be taken from someone who earned it. That means we’re not talking about generosity, we’re talking about forced redistribution; taking from productive people to subsidize those who aren’t. The top 1% of earners only make up about 25% of the total Internal Revenue of the United States, billionaires who are in the top 0.01% contribute much less than 25% of course. So in reality over 80% of all government’s money comes from hard working regular citizens who have day jobs and earn their living to different degrees of success. Now; we should celebrate those who give freely, because they embody true empathy and genuine commitment to improving society and to help others, especially those in need. Their sacrifice is voluntary and deserves admiration. But those who demand free stuff without effort should be condemned, because what they’re really asking for at large is to live off the sweat, tears, and sacrifices of others, those who studied, worked, innovated, and carried their own burdens responsibly. If society abandons the simple fact that nothing is free and everything worth having must be earned, we set ourselves on a path to collapse. We are the most advanced species on earth, with unprecedented tools ( like the internet and AI) that empower nearly anyone to create, learn, and earn. Choosing idleness is not an excuse. It’s the same principle as the gym; no one can lift weights for you and give you the strength they earned themselves. If you don’t practice your mental and practical skills, if you waste your time consuming empty content while others build, solve, and create; you’re not only weakening yourself, you’re adding weight to those who actually carry civilization forward. History shows us what happens when the takers outnumber the makers: societies fall. Having said all this, we will always have humans that have more empathy than others, humans that care more about the poor, the children left behind, and the single mothers trying to survive, and we should praise that love, we should all love each other and practice giving, practice kindness and compassion every single day, instead of demanding it from others. We need to be an example of love and generosity, not the example of shaming those who won’t give and won’t help those in need. Don’t ask the government to change our society that will create hateful givers and unproductive generations, we need to lead by example and to help as much as we can others. We need to live to serve others and together we will overcome any obstacle.

We need to love each other. Please. Let's build, let's be happy together.
