nelox··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
His experience at PayPal during the dot-com period gives him direct knowledge of how speculation can lead to major losses. This background encourages careful analysis of current conditions rather than automatic acceptance that all is well.

A point frequently overlooked is that professionals in his position have strong personal reasons to be accurate. Incorrectly concluding there is no risk can damage their investments and reputation more severely than acknowledging potential problems. His assessment rests on specific differences from earlier periods, such as major companies generating profits and consistent demand for critical hardware.

The Bible contains many verifiable historical references supported by archaeology and ancient records, even as a primarily theological text. Here are three examples:

1. The Tel Dan Stele and the House of David

This 9th-century BCE inscription records an Aramean king’s victories over the “king of Israel” and the “king of the House of David.” It gives the earliest extra-biblical proof of the Davidic dynasty at the heart of the Hebrew Bible.

2. Sennacherib’s Prism and Hezekiah

The prism names “Hezekiah the Judahite,” details the capture of 46 cities, and describes besieging Jerusalem in 701 BCE, closely matching 2 Kings 18–19, including the tribute paid.

3. The Pilate Stone and Pontius Pilate

Found at Caesarea Maritima, this inscription names “Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea” under Tiberius, directly confirming the Roman official who tried Jesus in the Gospels.

These independent sources from rival powers strongly support the Bible’s historical value where evidence exists.
