  • eh, money is supposed to represent resources, and saying that money = hours, is to say that there is no other resource besides human labor. there is land usage, plant growth, mineralic reservoirs, etc.

  • eh idk, i had difficulty finding exact numbers. apparently the napoleonic wars did have wide consequences but not so much because of the number of people that died in them but because they basically pushed very severely the modernization of all states in europe, which then caused a whole lot of things to happen rather quickly.

  • yeah that's not what i meant. phylogenetic trees are constructed by considering the genetics of recent (living) species, not from fossils.

  • The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily

    Jump

  • this doesn't really have anything to do with "work", therefore it's questionable whether it belongs in the "work reform" community. anyways, it's a good post, with a good point.

    it's quite clear that we need tax reforms. the current system works for no-one anymore, not even for the rich. the stock market is a bubble only waiting to burst, and everybody's well aware of it. the economy, the way it is today, is absolutely not sustainable. people are getting poorer, due to not having jobs, or rather the jobs pay like shit (bullshit pay for bullshit jobs) because the jobs aren't fundamentally important to the economy. there's a declining labor market because there's not so many new inventions compared to 1900 when stuff was new and hot. (consider that the electric grid was literally invented around 1900, there's an interesting chapter of history there, current wars). that's why the labor market is cooling down.

    i advocate for spaceflight partially because it would create jobs. also waging wars would create jobs but deeply unpopular so nobody wants to do that. so jobs will still be lost, and can only be partially replaced. we need a universal basic income or sth similar to give people enough resources to live. we need to start writing policy proposals for that. i propose the following fields should be covered and provided for by state-run services somehow:

    • water, food, healthcare
    • housing
    • transport
    • energy
    • IT, telecommunication, education

  • I'm going to change the world

    Jump

  • there are 3 sources of energy on the surface of earth:

    • energy from inside earth (geological heat)
    • energy from the moon (tides can make water go up and down -> generates energy)
    • energy from the sun (and hypothetically, other stars)

    so, the thing is that earth's internal heat generates 0.03% of the energy on the surface of Earth (source) while i couldn't find any numbers for the moon (so i guess it's too low to mention). so basically everything comes from the sun.

    and this is true for living beings. living beings can live off the sun's energy (photosynthesis) or they don't, in which case they're utilizing Earth's internal processes (volcanoes, ...) as an energy source.

    basically all life was dependent on energy from inside the Earth before photosynthesis was developed, which is severely restricted. this is why this is such a big breakthrough.

  • ehh, modern biology doesn't construct evolutionary history from fossil records, but from genetic similarities.

  • I think this may have just happened to you OP. That’s not a common way to see children.

    i don't see it that way, but a lot of people in the US seem to, at least from what i can see. see my other comment for explanation.
