As the predominant mode of work shifts from primary agriculture and resource extraction to tertiary industrial roles consuming outputs, the urbanization of life and prevalence of complex economic roles with higher education demands for both sexes increases, reducing fertility:
Sam Altman says "people will lose jobs" to AI and "not everyone's going to like all of the impacts, but this is coming. This is a scientific achievement of humanity that is going to get embedded in everything we do," per tsarnick.
One year. Time just goes right by, doesn't it? Make sure you're using it well and not getting distracted by all the 'current events' you can't control and spending time with people and on things you care about.
One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up…
There is so much about life contained in this video
It's funny because it's true 😂😂
.@POTUS: "No people came in last month — ZERO... A year ago, we had hundreds of thousands of people come in... Why would anybody do to our country what these Democrats have done? And honestly, we can NEVER forget it."
Good piece. I think it’s great for kids to have computers, but not: - entertainment screens - social media The easy fix: make the form factor immobile, visible, and contained. Bring back The Computer Room, too. Make Computers Appliances Again
I must confess: We kept going hunting for more bison meat than our wagon could carry because shooting bison was fun, not for what it taught us about fragile prairie ecosystems and weight-to-calorie ratios. understandingamerica.co/p/bring-back-t…
“the real answer is that it was exhausted”
Europe is basically not participating in chips manufacturing, even worse with rare earths. Should there be a geopolitical event in Asia, European economy would come to full stop. The naivety & complacency of European governments is stunning. But hey, build some more wind turbines
I moved in Britain 🇬🇧 in 2005, 15 years after the fall of the Thatcher government. Energy prices in Britain were a fraction of what I was accustomed to pay in Italy 🇮🇹. A tiny fraction. 20 years later, 35 years after Thatcher’s fell, British energy prices are if not on par more…
just saw a british guy explaining to an american that british energy prices are so high because thatcher privatised the energy companies… brother…
“It feels like the mall” A very sad statement on some modern societies.
Every day there's something in Miami that sends a few people back to NYC:
how many people in this country have been murdered and harvested and who is going to prison for this
The Mexican Govt used to go as far as to publish how-to guides for their emigrants becoming illegal aliens here:
How is this not a scandal? The president of Mexico is openly trying to help her fellow countrymen in America avoid our new remittance tax. Ironically, this is precisely WHY we need to crack down on remittances. My bill—the REMIT Act—will do just that. (1/7)
The Democrats radical DEI political agenda took precedent over upgrading the nation's outdated air traffic control systems, which still uses floppy discs. @realDonaldTrump and @SecretaryDuffy are working to clean up the mess made by Mayor Pete and former President Biden.
Another HOAX! Luis Leon was never deported by ICE. Luis Leon did not die in the custody of ICE. Our ICE agents are already facing an 830% increase in assaults against them. The journalistic malpractice must end.
There is a simple three question diagnostic you can apply to every country (even tribe, even family) to figure out if it'll have a better or worse future, relative to its past and everyone else. Feel free to steal it and do the data analysis and name it after yourself.
Using national income and demographic statistics is a relic of the 20th century when populations were young and growing. Today it's misleading due to the Boomer Bulge, who will die soon. The relevant statistics today are of the 18-49 year-olds. GDP per capita of Nicolas 30 ans.
My fear is there's not enough money and status to go around. Let's assume the 20x number is even just 20. 20 talented (brave) people, taking on immense personal risk (extremely delayed earnings, high failure probability), to create capital intensive factories, because of some of…
there needs to be 20x more manufacturing founders building factories
Very important. If you aren't reading High Capacity, you don't know how/why the material world will change in important ways.
Exciting personal news: I've just signed a book contract with Princeton University Press. My book will be about China's industrial policy, from EVs and batteries to AI and robotics. It's aimed at both general readers and researchers, in the style of my High Capacity newsletter.
Reminder: please send your eager younger brother and wayward old friend to BUILD SUBMARINES DOT COM and tell them to get a great job that pays well where they BUILD SUBMARINES
Lots of young Americans should be going to build submarines dot com and using an LLM of choice to learn how they can qualify for those excellent jobs in as short a time as possible.
Housing? Cheap. We can build so much + redevelop crappy places. Vehicles? It will cost nothing to run a factory with 10x the energy. The materials become cheap to acquire with more energy, too. Literally everything gets better with more energy and gets worse with less:
