Since you nerded out on this enough to do the math, you might actually be interested in this video. The only real bottlenecks to getting to these numbers are first, power and second the elevator conundrum. Solve for those and you can have quite a substantial population. Go big enough and the only bottleneck, if you want to stay a single planet species, becomes black body radiation. Check it out

- deialtrous 8y agoScience fiction is not a good argument here.
- philipps 8y agoNot only is it not a good argument. It is a dangerous argument. We need innovation and maybe it will come in the form of “whacky” ideas, but please don’t replace the work that climate scientists have been doing for decades with a few “back of the napkin” calculations.
- krisroadruck 8y agoPlease tell me who and how I put anyone in danger by suggesting the parent to my comment might enjoy a video?
- krisroadruck 8y agoI don't remember making an argument, I simply stated that the parent might enjoy this video based on the napkin math they did above...
- tomp 8y ago> elevator conundrum Interesting, I've never heard about this before! But isn't it basically just the question of private vs public transport (cars vs underground), but in vertical dimension?
