Infrastructure
Without constant energy input, money embedded in concrete, glass and steel can only show a return if more money (energy) is constantly added to resist the ultimate certainty of entropy.
Probability
where probabilities exist as a function of consciousness but are separate from “reality” – is consciousness “quantum”? Everything physical is determinable as such a result excepting consciousness Which observing that any outcome is possible assigns to each probabilities which can never exist

The cat
Framing the question, is the cat actually there? So the partial is thought to exist, when and where it is observed. What if the particle, has in fact The potential to be everywhere Are our senses, essentially misleading us? In such. We can only observe, that which we can see, feel or touch. The truthContinue reading “The cat”
Ask the people 2
Pissed off at your kids giving a damn? EROI of energy available to do work peaked in 1920’sburning 100million years worth of stored solar energy in 200 odd years is frying the planet, and the oceans – we all know this by now. Consumption based overpopulation means using the biosphere at an unsustainable rate, outcompetingContinue reading “Ask the people 2”
Life
straight to the pointy end, life is planetary. The millennial aims to consume it, and replace the real with a digital representation, Which reality is within our grasp. We’ve talked about value, of the mercentalisation of everything. Use the biotope to create waste to destroy habitat and ecology, in the hope of more success. DiscussionsContinue reading “Life”
