I retired at 42 at this point I only do what interests me. To keep my mind sharp and not waste 12+ years of university. I wouldn’t blink at a 50k IPO gamble on a first mover with independent verification that is how science is done.
Again be miserable this century is shaping up to be great. Can’t wait for an Ebike that does what a 1000cc does today without the shifting and torque off the line that is truly scary. We are close only the range is lacking , double the density to 400wh vs 220 and now you have a superbike with 200 miles of range at 100+ mph.
So what? I retired at 50. But continue to write your dissertations.
