So much of the news cycle has been consumed with fertilizer, when the planet has been burning down.
It might be good to remind public officials that without water, it doesn’t matter how much fuel or fertilizer you have.
Growing food locally just became a lot more important just as adding green canopy two urban areas is absolutely essential. Great way to make space for all that is to make your community walkable then you can use up all that nifty parking space for something useful.

Thinking about a little little . FLIP simulation with appropriate attribute set to particles to define a color might do the trick because any advection of the FLIP particles would kind of hold them somewhat consistently as a mass and so you could simply use the attributes to each particle as a color code.
Still, it would be fun. I think, although I probably should know better to actually think about thermodynamics.

It’s not enough to put the Republicans out of power and play like we go back to normal. The super rich who worked for a half century to bring America to the state in today need to have their corporations taken from them. Corporations need to be seized, broken up and shuttered. The rich need to have their morbid wealth strip from them down to a size where they don’t have enough money to pay for tax evasion anymore. A lot of of them deserve to end up in solitary for the rest of their lives.

This actually makes me wonder if similar dynamics aren’t in operation with respect to retail space especially in SF high vacancy. You would figure normally that the landlord would be desperate to get somebody in and paying rent.

hu berlin references Boehm
"The concept of levelling originates from Christopher Boehm’s studies in the 1990s on the origins of egalitarianism in hunter-gatherer societies. In both human and non-human groups, the power of individuals who exploit others can decline and may even result in their exclusion from the community."

I will then be more precise.
Dominant animals punishing or terrorizing subordinates is the standard pattern.
Egalitarianism is humanity’s superpower, and it is a very specific kind of collective action of the many over the tyranny of the few. Cultural anthropologist referred to egalitarianism as an inverted dominance hierarchy
Troglodytes is male dominated, bonobo females demonstrate more sophisticated alliance.

One very interesting thing is that global fertility apparently peaked in 1965. Nate Hagens conducted a relevant interview. I think last year sometime. “Human Impact, Extinctions, and the Biodiversity Crisis with Corey Bradshaw | TGS 136” at the one hour 10 minute mark a few minutes from there, the thing that brings down fertility rates is is a drop in child mortality. When women know their children will survive to adulthood and have families of their own the fertility Dre drops.

I suspect the dynamics to this have some subtlety to them as well because the US population is aging, which means lower needs for food and young people aren’t having kids. So on top of plummeting affordability, we also have factors that the overall demand for food probably isn’t increasing either. Even this is tricky because we’d have to figure out the amount of food waste in overall numbers where stores simply throw out the food that they purchase.

“ So while in 1980 every barrel of oil equivalent (boe) energy invested into drilling resulted in 30 new barrels recovered on a global average, this number is well below 10 by now, meaning that more and more energy needs to be reinvested into getting energy, leaving an ever smaller surplus for the rest of the economy.”
Can people now understand why electrification is desperately and even oil companies have to acknowledge transition? They need a power source to extract oil.

“ At the same time the frantic drilling and fracking of ever faster depleting wells began to cannibalize diesel fuel and electricity flows, eating away these valuable energy sources from the rest of the productive economy.”
This is a very important point for people to internalize about fracking. It’s a very energy intensive oil extraction process. All those trucks needed to bring the materials pumped into the ground to break free oil or gas for extraction. A veritable red queen.

“ Despite solar’s rapidly increasing share of world energy—now at 8.7%—all other forms of energy use continued to expand in absolute terms, including fossil fuels. Coal, oil and gas use have all increased throughout 2025, and still accounted for 86% of all energy supplied to the economy. Contrary to the stories we tell ourselves the energy transition still hasn’t started yet: wind and solar are still mere additions to an ever growing pile of carbon based fuels.”

My sense is that people’s attitude, especially among children are shifting and I hope it’s not wishful thinking

If anyone in the United States was ever confused why Europe has such strange privacy laws it those laws were a direct consequence of Nazi persecution as well as East German Stasi. You know you’re basic Orwellian nightmare.

It’s really very interesting but largely it’s hard to disagree. Some of his experience included, Stalin killing off his engineers in pogoms. He also built refineries for the Nazis

That calculation is still predicated on the idea that LLM are productivity add. The research is it is productivity destruction.
The limitations of the technology, its nature is understood clearly enough for researchers to say that this technology will always experience model breakdown and hallucination. It’s not coherent.
The steam engine allowed for more work to be done and the consolidation of economic power. AI is the illusion of that.

This isn’t relevant. The bottom line is mineral resources like oil, copper in aluminum and especially just copper and oil or tapped out.
There isn’t the resources to transition as a replacement when you account for all the infrastructure that needs to be electrified. Replacing fossil fuel in manufacturing dramatically, increases the amount of electrified energy needed, and the copper and aluminum and other things needed to provide that aren’t enough

One way or another the global economies resource intensity is going to collapse. The decline and collapse of resources is already here.
The question is not electrification, if you think electrification is going to swap out fossil resources and we will live like we are now.
Communities have to face the reality that the global economy will not be around in a couple of decades and maybe sooner.

Horses were never mentioned in this thread, Which I think is the source of irritation.
Injecting horses into the discussion is and was a red herring

“ Now it’s the other way around: we are using more and more electricity, natural gas, and in some cases even “renewables”, just to keep diesel flowing and the world economy ticking.”
People have to wrap their heads around the reality that the petroleum extraction business isn’t net energy positive today.
In a very important sense net zero is a given, at least with respect to oil or gas. The detail is our modern life is built on this stuff.

“ Sure, when taking all fuels together, producing oil is still net positive in energy terms but extracting petroleum long ceased to be a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating process. Half a century ago when the energy cost of oil was a mere 3% (or less), the 10% useful work derived from the diesel portion of a barrel was more than enough to power the oil business AND provide 7% “free” energy to the economy.”

You seem to be implying That a walkable community would somehow be a horse driven community or the transportation would be horse driven.
This is disconnected with the conversation at hand

“ That roughly 10% of energy derived from a barrel of crude is what keeps billions of people and a globalized world economy alive. The rest remains embedded in products (plastics, solvents, lubricants, asphalt, wax etc.) or simply get burned for our convenience in cars and jets. “

I can’t wait for the next round of extra high oil prices to start affecting gasoline. We won’t need to worry about bike lanes because the cars will be gone.
