The problem isn't primarily the cost of babies, it's primarily creeping credentialism. Women are fertile from 18 to 40 (legally and safely). If the years to 28 are taken up with getting credentials (degrees and post-grad quals) an

Oh, sorry, I should have read your question more thoroughly. Like everyone else I haven't given as much thought to "how to cope" as to "what's going on and why"? Increased immigration is not really a solution b

To reverse below-replacement fertility one must first understand what its causes are. Governments (and most others) have mostly skipped this step and/or choose to live with major causes for human freedom reasons and for political stabi

The reason for DEI does not matter. The practical outcome is perhaps perverse. A potential client will see a "diverse" lawyer and think "this person was hired because of DEI rather than competence." Prudent clients will

The major blocker seems to be rising credentialism. People could start careers with just high school two generations ago; now at least a four-year degree and often a post-graduate qualifications seems to be required. Women are fertile from

Except that they're not small or modular enough. To get decent learning curve effects they need to be 10 kW to 100 kW each.

The lion's share is the chunk that is by far the biggest. Not necessarily over half. In this case, there are hydro, nuclear, PV, on-shore wind, thermal bioenergy plants, and fossil gas plants as well.

Just listened to half of an interview (the interview is long, and it's now bedtime) of John Gray. I think you'd class him as a fox, but perhaps he's more of a badger. Digs deep and wide into history to interpret the present a

You talk about creating communities out of preferences, which makes them communities of interest, not traditional communities of kinship and enforced proximity. The Tyranny of Structurelessness is directly relevant to communities of interes

In China, a lot of EVs are being sold, something like 50% of all cars. The vast majority of them are very small, similar to the Japanese kei cars. They are used in "3rd tier" cities, not the cities you might have heard of such as

This reads like utterly history-blind fantasy. You need to explain why all the other times and ways we have tried what you propose did not work, and what will be different this time. Start, perhaps, with "The Tyranny of Structurelessne

People go too hard. If you're in your 20s, starting at ten minutes a day and working up to 90 minutes over the course of 18 months is a reasonable rate of change. Tendons and ligaments do not adapt at the same rate as muscles. Nor do a

Yeah, that sleep current is inexcusable for an MCU. So is the lack of onboard flash. Weird design all around.

A bad manager can blight quite a few people's lives. I fantasise about there being an internship/registrar/apprenticeship system for managers. An accreditation system with professional on-the-job evaluation on a regular basis

Research is the least labour- and time-intensive part of the system. Trials are punishingly expensive. Edit: protocol development. Drug interactions. Poisonings, Doctor education -- er, marketing. Incorporation into manuals. There's a

Circadian rhythms are also worth taking into account when thinking about this stuff. There's a bactrian-camel dip in the middle of the day. Siesta time. Most people have highest energy levels between 9 and 12, and then 4-ish to 7 or 8.

I don't really care about centrism, but from a public health point of view, cars contribute greatly (hah!) to obesity and all its ills. As well as all the ills you list.
