Is your real name Hari Seldon?”–Richard Hall demographics is destiny. Economics, demographics, global power distribution, generational cycles in response to ‘forgotten’ generational foundation myths.

One produces…

(FB 1548825871 Timestamp) —“Consider the implications even from 1980, the Apple II era. A single iPhone at 1980 energy-efficiency would require as much power as a Manhattan office building. Similarly, a single data center at circa 1980 efficiency would require as much power as the entire U.S. grid. But because of efficiency gains, the world…

(FB 1548825829 Timestamp) The Jevons Paradox is why you do NOT TRY TO SAVE ELECTRICITY. Why? It merely increases the consumption of electricity and demand for increased production of electricity. At your most optimum, you will simply transfer cleaner electrical production domestically to uncleaner electrical production overseas. ECONOMICS IS COUNTER-INTUITIVE. All human behavior is best…

Engines matter because they convert otherwise useless forms of energy into useful work. And as the energy efficiency of…

Collectively, all those transistors consume more electricity than the state of California.”— Mark P. Mills Longer Version —“The invention of the transistor-based logic engine, the integrated circuit, turned 60 this year. Today, humanity…

(FB 1548823316 Timestamp) FOR EVEN MORE ‘DIRECT’ ECONOMICS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR, PLS FOLLOW/FRIEND Eli Harman His posts aren’t sharable (defensively), so I can’t fill my feed with them. But he’s back cranking out good thought every day. Eli uses reciprocity tests and hyperbole to illustrate and educate and he’s a master of it. Cheers

(b) White Sharia successfully conveys radical intolerance. (c) it also conveys the wrong basis for that intolerance. (d) it still floats around but mostly as ‘insider language’ or more…

(FB 1548905811 Timestamp) by John Mark The only thing I’d clarify about this is that there are a couple areas where the Left has been operating in reality better than the Right. So: Copy the Left’s tactic of gossip rally ridicule shame? No. Maybe to help win an election as a short-term play to buy…

Not that it affects the argument. 😉 Evidence of all language is that it competes in markets and as such was only slightly weakened by (a)the standardization of…

This time of year, ninety days without continuous data, power, cash is unsurvivable for many tens of millions. The fourth meal is…

(FB 1548891462 Timestamp) —“Once we remove the involuntary/parasitic subsidy of r from the environment (something “No more lies” accomplishes), K will out-compete and out-reproduce r. The only subsidy then available to r will be charity or trade (for example – in return for not reproducing)”—Luke Weinhagen (follow Luke)

(FB 1548891393 Timestamp) WHY? —“The argument that the right hasnt been doing it right and needs to learn from the Enemy because they evolve rapidly is outright wrong.

(FB 1548885864 Timestamp) —“I’d argue that the energy efficency increase brought more mass media, and that exponential increment on the propagation of lies is what made it easier to dumb down or deceive the populations. That should be counted as a factor, at least.”—Alejandro Luque
