Sustainability is a function of technology.
Without technology, the planet could only sustain a population of a few tens of thousands people, in the African Savannah.
With stone age hunter gatherers technology, (fire, spears, needles to make clothes) the planet can statain maybe a million people.
With Agriculture and iron, maybe 100 million.
With better technology such as genetic engineering, clean cheap abundant energy (solar), AI, robotic, recycling and preservation, the planet can sustain a population of a trillion people. And humanity can be a lot more given the nearly infinite space and

We are on a debt cycle that will cause the collapse of our current financial system. The process started with Nixon in 1971, when he left the gold standard, followed by the West exporting production to other countries.
The West (Canada, the US, and Western Europe) economic system will collapse due to high debt and lack of production.
The dollar will be replaced by a new currency backed by gold and industrial output. Maybe a future backed by gold version of the Chinese Yuan.
The financial collapse due to debt and lack of industrial production is expected to happen in the next few years, maybe

Who is a bigger risk to Western Civilization

Should Spain be excluded from the Schengen area?

Same hate, different flavors.

How is everyone doing today?
Do you like green?

Should Canada leave the ICC?

Intel and AMD are up 12% today.
Is the downtrend correction over?

Watch more good news instead of bad news.
Humans evolved to focus on bad news and not on good news.
If you live in the African Savannah and you hear a noise from the nearby bush, it made evolutionary sense to assume a lion is hiding there, even if it's a low probability case.
Today, we consume 90% bad news and 10% good news. When reality maybe 50% or more of the news is good news.
The problem in the modern world, is that it's mostly safe. And being angry, fearful and hateful because of over consumption of bad news and under consumption of good news can cause medical issues in the long term.

Mamdani is helping Netanyahu get re-elected in the upcoming October elections.

Karim Khan, the ICC persecutor who issue an arrest warrent against Netanyahu, was fired from the ICC for sexual harrassment.

Where do you stand on AI datacenters construction?
Here are some stats:
- In the US, 75% oppose AI datacenters
- In China, 85% of people support AI datacenters
AI will make life better, like any technology that improves productivity. Moreover, the country that win the AI race, will dominate the world.
Ask yourself why so many people in the West oppose new technologies that can make life better? Is it possible our adversaries are, at least in part, responsible for the negativity?

I think Spain should boycott World Cap, because FIFA didn't ban Israel.
(The same reason why Spain boycotted the Eurovision.)
Thoughts?
