2 小时 25 分钟Okay, today have the pleasure of speaking with Brian Potter,
who is an engineer and the author of the excellent construction physics blog,
where he writes about how the construction industry works and why it has been solo to industrialize and innovate.
And it's one of my favorite blogs on the internet.
I highly, highly recommend that people check it out.
Brian, my first question is about the line project in Saudi Arabia.
What are your opinions?
Okay.
Yeah, just this will be a just in no particular order.
One that it's just, you know,
interesting that this country Saudi Arabia is and the Middle East just kind of in general is just so willing to just do these big crazy ambitious building projects.
And just pour just huge amounts of money and constructing this infrastructure in a way that you don't see a huge amount in like the modern world,
you know,
they do it China obviously does it huge amounts Some other minor places,
but in general you don't see a whole lot of countries doing just these big massive Incredibly ambitious projects.
So like on that level, it's like Interesting.
I was like, yes, glad to see that you're doing this.
But like the actual project is clearly insane.
It makes no sense.
I mean, just from like a physical arrangement.
