Nice social dominance/purity display, bro, but irrelevant. I said "read the citations and go from there", meaning: you'll find the names of researchers, the names of journals, and keywords to search for; and looking up c

So that sounds like: in the past there were well defined templates for how to live your life, and people followed them; but now you have to make up your own, continuously figuring things out for yourself, and that is harder to do and needs

This feeling is interesting, and very new. During the Baby Boom, people married young (women at 22 or 23) and had kids young, not as a "capstone" to a developed life. Do you have any insight into why you feel that way?

Perhaps you thought you were being ironic. You weren't. "Common knowledge" is seriously behind the state of the science.

Yet another example of the very serious mainstream modellers having to move closer to James Hansen's position, which is based on looking at what has actually, you know, like, happened.

No, of course it isn't. Her retelling wasn't verbatim, it was heavily edited for confidentiality, nor is my recollection 100%. It's the gist.

If it's that high-stakes, wages ought to be commensurate. If there is a huge shortage, employers will be talking to people in the street, offering to train them at the employers' expense. If not, there ain't a shortage.

My wife was for a time on the board of a local hospital. I recall her recounting a report from the head of the mental health unit saying that there was an increasing number of upper-middle-class young women with "princess syndrome&quot

Haven't seen any AI potters, quilters, muralists or landscape gardeners yet. It's replacing work that is purely to do with information. Years ago there was talk about the "anywheres" vs. the "somewheres" - peop

I subscribed to the Economist back in the day. I found an old joke to be true: get the weekly magazines, put them aside for six months, and then read them: they'll be more fun than Mad magazine. I'm considering subscribing to th

I have no idea how fusion companies think they can make money given the cost trend lines for renewables and batteries. I guess that's why it's them doing it, and not me.

The very latest 2024 update (not yet on their website) is apparently a small increase, because they expect a slower rate of fertility decline in sub-Saharan Africa. (I think I read about this on the IIASA website.) Time will tell.

There are several factors that operate successively and in combination to reduce fertility: infant survival (low infant mortality); secularisation (loss of religion); urbanisation (or more accurately neolocality, the practice of moving awa
