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.

Legrange
We ought then to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its anterior state and as the cause of the one which is to follow. Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective situation of the beings who composeContinue reading “Legrange”
Innspill
God dag Dette er et spennende tema og det kunne har vært enda mer spennende om utvalget tok opp temaer rundt hvordan et nullutslippsamfunn kommer til å se ut.

There is nothing inherently efficient about that other than that the decision making criteria rarely takes into account, let alone compensates for, the resources, energy andContinue reading “Efficiency”

It is really worthwhile to look at the first and second laws of thermodynamics and whether one should consider the biophysical reality of entropy in the context of economic growth. But, generally speaking, economic growth is a human construct that uses the theory of infinite substitutability to deny any Liebig type limit. Not only that,Continue reading “Enlighten”
Morals
Humans invented anthropogenic moralism in order to establish a framework for interacting with each other and with the rest of the planet. This is why we have a moral diversity, because nature is diverse and humans are products of this. Moralism has however, become largely anthropomorphic and in my opinion this is the greatest moralContinue reading “Morals”
Value II
The valuation of goods is based on rarity, as perceived through an anthropomorphic veil. True value, can only be represented as the energetic costs of their production. The work required to extract and consume minerals is worthless unless repeatable. I will make reference to a greater wisdom than mine: Only when the last tree hasContinue reading “Value II”
Value
Just wait until they find out, the true value of Facebook and snapchat like things. All they have to sell is consumption, the goal of which seems to be the destruction of the natural world. What a ignominious goal for humanity, to worship growth until we run out. As Plato said, they see but theContinue reading “Value”
