Farm automation also put draft horses out of work. My case is brittian in the early 1800s, which had a population of about 40 million people and 4 million draft horses. A draft horse did the manual labor of about four men, making them worth

It's been a while since I researched it, but my impression was that the growth rate had been decelerating since the seventies. Not that it isn't still a growth rate, just a lower one. About energy, I expect that higher prices make many more

Aside from the fact that our global growth rate has been dropping for the last twenty years, I'd like to point out that actually feeding the population isn't a problem. Feeding it beef may well be, but the primary issues with world starvati

I think you've missed a core point of the comparison: Chevy Malibu's weren't built in isolation, either. They were built from parts, in factories built by people who specialized in building factories (we call it, in very generic terms, the

Femdom being one of my fetishes, I rather beg to differ on the statement that there are only a handful of femdom sites. I will cede that there are a few fantastically successful ones, like I suspect in most media, which are rather strongly

If we work on the assumption that the majority of people aren't rational scientists, then harnessing the superstition towards such things as progress and invention rather than conservatism seems a very brilliant move by those persons trying

Please google your tagword. Better yet, google Female domination Porn. You're going to get a lot. If you go out and use the actual jargon, Femdom Porn, you're going to get quite a lot as well. Point being: there may not be thousands of site

To help: Education. We're sitting on the best tool for disseminating information ever created, and things get better when people are educated. If they can do math, they can better run businesses. If they know history, they know politics. If

So...when the government pays people to do things, that's socialism? I seriously doubt that's how a governmental program training and employing the youth to repair the infrastructure would be viewed, and especially not as proposed to the mo

The flipside of this is thinking about strategic positioning of the banks themselves. If an investment firm has access to a thruster capable of relativistic time dilation, then the loaning arm of the entity has incentive to be moving as fas

I'd argue that a properly designed dyson swarm -does- launch itself, is self replicating, and only takes construction of, say, fifty first generation Von-Neumann machines. I further suggest that we could start it if we spent an equivalent o

A lot of that has to do with the age of the information technology. There's been a great deal of science fiction written about space ships and aliens, throughout the last century, but the concept of an information economy emerged, quite to

Glasshouse, also by Charlie, is another scifi that deals with the idea of the information economy, as well as a great deal of things Cory Doctorow has written, and to round out my list, The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson.

This is something of a case in point for my argument that we really don't know how to deal with it..its brand new, and works on different dynamics than playground bullying. The methods of cyber-bullying I've encountered doesn't involve a lo

The issue isn't that these people don't exist, but much as happens on dating sites, the women(devs) get message after message after message...It becomes incredibly time consuming weeding the -few- goods out from the chaf.

How is the fact that our children (ok, my young siblings) are coming up in a world where bullying happens in a field vastly different from the playground not a problem? I certainly can't pass on my experience of how to deal with cyber bulli

Certianly not if you view the regime as those said to be in power. If you consider the special, entrenched interests the ones in power, then you get a different image. Of course, either image is too black and white, and misses the core idea

Late reply, but from my perspective, money is a wealth object. (so are information, knowledge, personal network, name value, skills, and etceterum). wealth is about ability to change the world around you. Money's certianly easier to transfe

That's certainly the case in anything worth more than a soundbite of reflection. To attack the position of tautology directly, though, 'the war' isn't at all about public awareness, or awareness at all. Its about usage. So, people trying to
