Housing costs mostly boil down to this stack: price of land + price of materials + cost of labor + margin + other (marketing, admin, fees, financing, etc.) When you try to boost the number of homes, you also boost demand for construction la

Yep, GDP ballooned from inflation, not because the debt actually fell.

It’s a cycle that is always interrupted by war or revolution. The wealthy in the US do not understand what a revolution is, they believe that laws written on paper are as unbreakable as the laws of physics. Laws only function when the vast

We know humans have needs, and most jobs exist to meet them. The agricultural revolution mainly met one need — cheaper food with less labor. A superintelligent AI could meet all human needs. The only remaining jobs might be those where peop

"Always" is overstated. Populations have been reshaped before (e.g. farmers absorbing foragers in Europe, steppe migrations, Arabization of North Africa, the Americas after 1492 etc). So turnover isn’t new, but this mechanism is d

Maybe because from a strictly evolutionary point of view, that’s a failure: they won’t pass on their genes (maybe also culture, values etc.), and other gene pools will take over the resources their lineage worked to secure.

You are mistaken. If the US decided to give up its role, there would be a void, a void that anyone who filled it would gain soft power from. China would be very interested in taking the place of the US in securing global trade routes, becau

Implement or retrieve? That’s an important distinction. When evaluating models, you run a variety of tests, and the benchmarks that aren’t publicly disclosed are the most reliable. Your Space Invaders game isn’t really a benchmark of anythi

It's not really about nationalism. It's about other nations (especially those likely to face serious problems in the near future) having leverage over you, which they could use to serve their own interests at the expense of yours.
