Watching TV as the primary form of leisure peaked in 1999. From 2000 onwards it started falling off. More and more data continues to pour in that 1999 was the peak of human civilization. Everyone watching TV unified us. It was a single cultural schelling point. We were unified.
How Americans aged 25-35 spend their free time, 1920-2026. A shift toward ever more leisure and solitude. The most underrated change is the loss of time spent “doing nothing” (i.e. introspecting).

Elon Musk on the legacy of Tesla, Edison, and Ford:
"Nikola Tesla is a major inspiration, but Edison also did impressive work. Great minds like Benjamin Franklin, Shakespeare, Newton, Edison, and Ford deserve admiration. Henry Ford’s biggest achievement was making mass manufacturing of complex objects possible.
Ford essentially helped create the modern automotive industry on Earth. His methods were so effective that everyone else eventually copied him."
