    • I’ve read books.
    • In multiple languages.
    • And I can read musical notes.
    • I’m a capable home cook.
    • I’ve built stuff. Assembling IKEA furniture counts, right?
    • My mum still keeps most of my paintings.
    • If you can read this, you know that I can write.
    • I can cut down vegetation.
    • I can even dive.
    • Yes, I open the camera app daily.
    • There’s an app for that as well.
    • I’m wearing my backpack already.
    • Five of the seven continents (as many of us understand them culturally), so far.

    Which is why I have an orgy every night.

    Top left: An aerospace conglomerate with an all-consuming focus on short-term profits, leading to endemic problems. The featured product being the 787, a functional and popular airliner which had numerous problems related to excessive outsourcing. Some safety concerns about newly delivered planes of this type, due to the company’s endemic problems. As an airline, I would prefer to buy Airbus. And as a passenger, I would avoid the 737 Max totally and all Boeings for the first years of service.

    Top right: A major electric car company with major leadership problems. The featured product is an automobile which compares disfavourably to other electric pickup trucks in most conventional metrics. As a consumer, I would look at alternatives.

    Bottom left: Someone thought they could build a submarine.

    Bottom right: The world’s leading space launch company. Also the world’s leading satellite internet company. The featured product is the Falcon 9, a large rocket capable of sending a large payload into orbit or beyond. The first stage can then land and be reused. Some concerns about the leadership of the company, and the side effects of their failure tolerant testing. As a for-profit company, I would have no other choice in launch providers. As a consumer, I could be in a situation where they are the the only real provider of internet access.

    A very diverse “team”. Assembled by someone with a different perspective than my own.
