   It depends on the details though. That survey was just on a one sentence "new US tariffs on steel and aluminum will improve Americans’ welfare" question. They can have a place if say you want to maintain manufacturing for military

   On current trends in 20 years it should be about 0.33 C warmer which may be noticeable but is unlikely to be a no food or water situation.

   I guess the launch pads get soggy? I figure one of the benefits of the area is there isn't much development for those reasons.

    I'd say it is engineering. There's a Moore's law like steady progress where the effective IQ goes up each year which will result in neither troughs nor biofuel but just smart AI. Given human nature I also think it'll be

    Quite a lot of people do competitive sailing and horse riding so the skills are there but amongst less people.

    I've never heard of Israel trying to kill overseas critics? As opposed to terrorists who try to kill Israelies.

    I guess I was including maths and imagine mathematicians investigate stuff of the general type like the riemann hypothesis, whether all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line where the real part equals 1&#x2

    He skips over understanding our world which is probably the reason most pure maths is done. The Joy article mentions is here https://www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2/ by the way, and includes discussion of Kaczyns
