In this respect, their page for hacking baguettes by sun&sea is my personal favourite https://100r.co/site/solar_cooking_experiment.html https://100r.co/site/solar_cooking_experiment.html 100Rabbits is like the coming true of Grothendieck's 1972 permatech lecture given at CERN* https://github.com/Lapin0t/grothendieck-cern https://github.com/Lapin0t/grothendieck-cern >"I think that agriculture, stockbreeding, decentralized energy production, medicine of a certain kind, very different from the medicine that prevails today, will come to the fore. It's impossible to say which part purely creative joy will play in these new developments. My hope is, it will be a creative development in which there will be no essential difference between conceptual activities and manual physical activities. When people become masters of their own needs to the point where an appreciable part of their creativity remains free---and this will take a time we can't predict, it may be a generation, it may be ten, no one knows---at that point, anyone, not just a certain scientific elite, will be able to devote a significant part of their time to purely creative, purely speculative, purely playful research" *which I (or 1 of you?!) will post soon (Thanks Bluestein for showing the best time to post this stuff!)

(with Grothendieck being a little more optimistic than King, as the latter stops short of pushing universal initiative all the way to the bluejacket)

  Thanks for the details in philosophical provenance point-out! I will return to the other thread when I've completed current round of debugging local firmware :) Let's just say subordinate can be replaced by "peers" above WLOG,ala Gr

    Preorders* are reflexive and transitive, but not necessarily either symmetric or antisymmetric. (eg european languages that make a T/V distinction have shifted from antisymmetric to symmetric use) * and hence finite topologies, a class to which any social topology belongs?

Thank you, au contraire, for that wonderful link in your comment, and that marvelous quote, and your thoughts.-

Hello, Thank you for the link you've shared. I read it with great interest. While I can conceive that the aforementioned areas might survive in a post-industrial civilization, it is unclear to me how the technology that 100rabbits is researching could do the same. They might use Raspberry Pis or old PCs donated by others, but: - these are impossible to manufacture without industries, and they are limited in number - the only means of communication they're using to share their work, the Internet, inherently requires an industrial society to exist This seems somewhat akin to the naive reaction to the financial crises we experienced a few years ago: "Oh dear, banks and finance can be evil, let's decentralize with Bitcoin." I believe that we cannot address the problems that technology has brought us (nuclear weapons, global warming) without resorting once again to technology and science. This technology and science must necessarily be funded by the market.

    We are a planet of 8 billion people. Through what other supply model could we ensure the production of computers and technology for everyone (or even just for some) if not the market? Here I found an infographic that shows how the supply chain for the production of a PC works: https://scmresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/supply_chain_of_a_computer.png https://scmresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/supply_ch... This also applies to science. The Covid pandemic is almost certainly a result of global warming caused by human activities, but the vaccine for Covid was found thanks to a shared effort of humanity, encouraged by both government policies and, above all, the profit of pharmaceutical companies. I am well aware of all the flaws of capitalism, but I can't understand how we can have an "information age" without a market. We can try to reduce our impact, learn to decentralize, learn to fix things that break (all things I personally do), but I can't envision a decentralized technological and scientific world that wouldn't set us back 300 years.
