And Then There Were None

A couple of human RNA work (with plans) and tools to assemble the skeleton of a multi-chambered domestic cell. These two RNA go by the name of “carpenter” based upon the specialized knowledge and tools they employ. The pine boards, from farmed or naturally growing trees, were harvested and finished at a mill and were shipped along the technological circulatory system to arrive where new cellular growth is occurring. Like an organic cell preparing for mitosis, much of what human RNA busy themselves doing is building the next cell to be occupied by RNA like themselves, especially when there is no final and long-lasting functional form to achieve. Unlike molecular RNA, human RNA have special needs which must be met to facilitate their functioning, like running water, waste removal, light, heating/air conditioning and usually an entire chamber or room dedicated to preparing servings of energy or food. There is usually also a dedicated sleeping chamber. The refinement and expansion of this entire way of living has been accomplished through the breaking of hydrocarbon bonds and conversion of released energy into the movement of various technological tools which facilitate gradient consumption, various manufacturing processes and distribution. It is a natural and self-organizing process where dissipative structures successful in entraining an energy flow are rewarded with continued existence.

As these humans are busy being carpenters, it probably hasn’t entered their minds that all of the gradients are finite and that some day growth would stop, their jobs would cease to exist and the technological cells would die or no longer support metabolism. Most all of the RNA failed to recognize this weakness inherent to the rapidly growing technological system. Some, like Dennis Meadows, one of the researchers and writers of “The Limits to Growth”, did recognize the likely outcome but he was mostly given negative reviews. The RNA preferred to believe in “they’ll find something” or “God is in control” because their dopamine delivery systems were pushing them to continue functioning to obtain the rewards necessary for life, a comfortable, well-fed life inside a multi-chambered cell, connected to the whole by an arterial system that penetrated every area that promised resource riches. The technological system continued to consume and grow. Even today, as the banking system struggles to coax more production and consumption into the metabolism, most doubt the likely and unsavory outcome.

We don’t like it, so it’s not true.

Most, including the bankers, preferred to believe pundits like Julian Simon. Many say that economists and bankers have a symbiotic relationship.

Some of the RNA, under the influence of a social brain that evolved partially to categorize human behaviors as being either good or evil, considered themselves moral failures and retreated to their temples and churches to ask for forgiveness and the chance for a new start that they would, from then on, show only the best and most cooperative of behaviors if godly powers would but restore their potential. But little did they realize that it was this nice, cooperative behavior that had figured in the complexity and order necessary to empty the gradients in the first place. No, cooperating and reducing friction between the RNA would not work this time as any well functioning dissipative structure would only make the problem worse. It actually needed a few monkey wrenches thrown into the works to slow the flow of energy (like food plants burning down and pandemic lock-downs). Even a cooperative global society that realized savings by reducing military expenditures would soon eliminate residual gradient energy by other means like increased flights to Bora Bora for extravagant vacations.

Praying to God

There was really only one solution, one which nature would eventually get around to taking herself – the absolute reduction in the number and energy flows through existing dissipative structures. Even the human RNA, being dissipative structures, would have to be reduced in number and if a special project were to be funded, even though ridiculous like “living forever schemes”, “Mission to Mars” and panopticon surveillance projects, enough dissipatives would have to be eliminated to free energy flow for continuance of these projects important to the elites. In a zero-sum environment growth in one area requires sacrifice in others. Even at this early stage of the “Great Reset” it becomes apparent from whom the sacrifices will come and to whom the rewards will flow. Those designated for elimination include business cells not involved in crucial technological projects, internal combustion engines, “useless eater” humans that contribute little to the technological effort and even whole nations can have their energy flow disrupted. Eventually pets will also be eliminated. In the future, if something metabolizes it will serve the goals of the “owners” which will not include the residual population of humans whose American Dream will be replaced with a low-consumption, Metaverse non-life.

  1. Yes, emotions are signals that something is, or may be, going off, going wrong, in your surroudings. May be time to go have a look. Part of the problem with humans is that they generate an internal map of their surroundings, that includes themselves. There’s a little more to it that just that, but that will suffice. Anyway, sometimes the map is wrong, or askew, that generates problems all on its own. Emotions that are self referential, self generated, are often the most difficult to understand or control. It can be done. But, the kicker is, is that one has no control. One cannot choose to understand. First, one has to realize that there is something “wrong” with their own personal map. And, of course, everbody’s map is askew in one way or another. Something like that…

    It’s a ball of wax that can never be fully resolved. I’d say. I’d also say that there’s nothing wrong with going through life snapping up bits of pleasure, kind of like a dog, with no understanding whatsoever.

There is still the idea that humans somehow became “sapient” without exploring and explaining just what that means or how it evolved. We’re not actually sapient, but rather we’re rRNA that build complexity at another scale to get rid of the fossil fuel and other gradients. The RNA have been doing what humans do for billions of years and must also be considered sapient if using information and tools is considered sapience.

The human mind is probably adequate to understand the entire universe and its workings without AI. What’s left? Reducing more and perhaps larger energy gradients faster. What for? Because that’s what the universe for the most part does. We could accomplish a more capable dissipative structure, but it would be no different than ourselves in essence. Maybe it’s because we’ve eliminated the stores of energy accumulated over millions of years in only a couple of hundred years and it is apparent we’re going to die (as a civilization) that we long for the new tools to break into new gradients. Extinction sort of defeats our purpose, but if there are no further energy gradients we have no purpose. No doubt the technology will continue evolving, but will it find another gradient to sustain itself? Maybe and maybe not. For the universe overall it doesn’t even qualify as chump change.

              You appear to be arguing that that because we know the endpoint (heat death of the universe), we shouldn’t care what happens in the interim. That argument strikes me as absurdist reductionism – that because we must consume energy, that is the only characteristic worth considering. There are many possible advanced species that could one day exist and, so long as one has any sort of value system outside of “let’s just consume energy”, it should matter to us which one it is. While particular events may not matter to the universe at large, we can still prefer and work towards the more pleasant trajectories among those on the joy-misery continuum.

              > “The human mind is probably adequate to understand the entire universe and its workings without AI.”
              Unprovable conjecture. However, hopefully we can agree that we don’t know everything yet and that smarter beings would solve the remaining riddles faster. And that’s not limited to AI. For example, we could boost average IQ by 20-30 points in one or two generations with embryo selection and/or selective breeding.

    1. All people are evil depending upon where you put the goalpost. As a social species we recognize evil because we’ve evolved to be “good” to get and keep the energy flowing. When people diverge from a society’s definition of “good” they’re often cast out or locked-up by the majority of good people. People that don’t work hard are often seen as “bad” and that can be attributed to man’s role as an RNA in a larger, gradient reducing dissipative structure. Most people live their lives in the good bubble and may even proclaim to be good people even though they do evil things every day in their competitions with others and destruction of the ecosystem. The universe doesn’t care at all about good or evil, it only works to eliminate high density energy gradients by whatever means should emerge. It wouldn’t even mind, if it had a mind, that the entire ecosystem and its embedded energy would be released. People’s naïve goodness is simply another gradient opportunity for the more ruthless and cunning humans and now that there’s not much to go around, those weak, plump and trusting subjects will be euthanized.

  9. Post by Rob Meilcarski at undenial

    I’m getting ready to close out this thread so I’ve appended the following statement to the post above.

    17-Jul-2022 Addendum
    I’m worried that a future visitor who does not know me will will read this post and conclude that I’m a wack job and therefore should discount everything else I’ve written. This is a statement to clarify what I actually believe is going on with covid.

    If we assume that our leaders are not evil and/or stupid then there is overwhelming evidence to suggest there’s an agenda other than public health in play for covid policies.

    I believe that some of our most senior leaders with the power to influence lower level leaders are using covid as an excuse to implement tools that will be helpful for maintaining social order during an economic collapse.

    I do not know if these senior leaders deliberately released an engineered virus, or if they are just taking advantage of a mistake made at the Wuhan lab.

    All of the evidence I see supports this “covid is cover for collapse prep” theory, EXCEPT the push to vaccinate children which I cannot explain if we continue to assume our leaders are not evil and/or stupid.

    I proposed above, tongue in cheek, that perhaps the child vaccination push could be explained by a humane population reduction agenda, which I think would be a brilliant thing for our leaders to do, because population reduction is the only path to reducing the suffering that is coming due to human overshoot.

    The problem with this population reduction hypothesis is that I don’t think are leaders are aware or smart or brave enough to try it.

    So to be clear, I do NOT think there is a population reduction agenda in play.

    Which means our leaders must be evil and/or stupid.

    I’m pretty sure Fauci and his gang are corrupt, but I do not think all the collaborating leaders in the world are evil.

    Which leaves stupidity as the only viable explanation for what’s going on with children.

    Stupid behavior can have causes other than a low IQ.

    Stupid behavior can result from our genetic tendency to deny unpleasant realities, like for example, doubling down because “I can’t possibly have supported the biggest blunder in human history”, or from a mass formation al la Mattias Desmet that causes temporary insanity.

Just keep yourself embedded in the middle class system at any and all costs. And you know what, good for them, it worked out for many of them in the industrial age. They were rewarded with income and pensions and benefits and a “family” that respected them, etc.

    ACTIVE resistance against the criminal establishments around the world will greatly increase the sooner someone TRULY understands that the ruling cabal and their minions (in governments, big corporations, etc), anywhere around the globe, are PSYCHOPATHS — the evidence is OVERWHELMING and TOTALLY IRREFUTABLE — see “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon””… https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

    By “TRULY understands” I mean that Hollywood flicks and the corrupt entertainment industry at large have presented a deliberately erroneous picture of psychopaths which keeps the public misinformed about what and who psychopaths really are (eg most psychopaths are not overtly violent) but they are ALWAYS exploiters, deceivers, liars, manipulators, and destroyers (the Highly Destructive Fake Covid “Pandemic” is ONE fitting example out of countless others) and therefore they are NOT people to ever respect, listen to, admire, vote for, follow and obey BUT to ACTIVELY fight and jail for life (see cited source above).

    Naive people buy the Soros story at face value, skeptical people freak out over the idea that a Nazi-collabo is posing
    as the world’s richest liberal jew, but almost nobody ever asks the question: how could a survivor of the “holocaust”
    have gotten this rich to begin with? Even allowing for luck, drive, skill and a huge tolerance for financial sleaze, it’s
    just not possible; Soros couldn’t have gotten this big on his own. He’s somebody’s agent & Occam’s Razor tells me

    1. Here was a comment that I liked

      I have not read yet the writings of Aaron Good but I believe it is essential to place the political issues of the United States in a historical context beyond the Civil War.

      The historical struggle of forces in 17th century England is very telling in itself without the need to overprint a new reading grid.
      Certainly the hereditary nobility at the death of Charles Ist was overthrown by the troops of Parliament, with Cromwell as the strongman of the time. This is part of the continuity of the Magna Carta of 1216 imposed because of the English defeat at Bouvines on Sunday, July 27, 1214 and the precariousness of the English king. This charter recognized the power, authority and rights of the English barons exclusively, although today its application for vulgum pecus has supposedly been popularized.
      This charter allowed the little lords of England access to authority and a certain impunity recognized by the judges of the Court of London. What are they going to do with it? Not long before the explosion of piracy and ocean trade in Elizabethan England. It was at this time that these bloodthirsty barons and adventurers found new resources to satisfy their thirst for power.
      The cadets imagine supplanting their elders by engaging in the counter economy and taking advantage of monetary resources rather than real estate and land from which they were excluded by the law of inheritance. Everything else stems from the creation of the Royal Chartered and Monopoly Companies: The East India Company, the Hudson’s Bay Company, etc. are Commercial companies protected by the fact that nobles of some extraction are solidary members, thus offering mutual protection, legally guaranteed by the Magna Carta against royal authority or abuses.
      Where does what we abruptly call “consumer society” come from? From the need to open up a local market to lucrative imports to old England of hundreds of cargoes from the ships of these trading companies.
      This is where the Gordian knot of the Western economic system lies. Already there is a decoupling between central and powerful authorities commercial agents. It is here that a commercial-financial system takes off that will split itself from the “real economy”, that is to say from a reasoned administration of the country’s resources under the authority and sovereignty of the Prince. And it is here that a class of “robber barons” is created who will increasingly play a role of political arbiters and manipulators of public consensus. They saw that a supposedly “democratic” and “liberal” system made the most of all their ambitions…
      The limit of the exercise is naturally the impossible systemic stability of such a regime with a thousand heads, forced by the greed of its promoters, more public debt, more corruption, more manipulation of opinion and more wars.
      US constitution was written down by slaves owners and commercial companies shareholders. Did they really want their citizens to learn that “We The People” was a rhetorical figure? About owning slaves – Jefferson had around 600 of them, plus some “black girlfriends” – but wasn’t it the pre-condition to become a “founding father”? As colonialists they had to produce and supply port warehouses with high value merchandises (cotton, tobacco) as their early fortune standed on commercial profits. Then they invested those gains in Stock Companies which developed new businesses, grabed territorial assets and organized inland trade.
      Is USA a democracy? As matter of fact USA is a system owned by private Corporations since its very begining. At this time these Corporations were called Charted Companies on the model of the East India Company (founded in 1600) with military and judicial powers. Of course we may pretend that colonization of North American territories was realized by common peoples and settlements here and there with some democratic values… But guess what? Those cities and colonies have never had a tiny chance to challenge Companies such the Ohio Company founded by some investors : “In 1748,Thomas Lee and brothers Lawrence and Augustine Washington organized the Ohio Company to represent the prospecting and trading interests of Virginian investors including Robert Dinwiddie; George Washington; George Mason; John Mercer (colonial lawyer), etc” [WP – Ohio Company])
      Well the so called “Founding Fathers” were just rich investors and they were sneaky enough to write a bunch of legal documents [Bill of Rights] and [US Constitution] afterward to dress up some legality around their speculative bussiness and give a moral justification of a delusional greedy grab of lands, power and wealth their heirs still possess. Those perverted heirs who dare now to wage wars all around the world using uneducated and clueless american Youth to put into submission all countries as puppet states, in order to achieve global domination and ensure their interets and profits? This on behalf of Freedom and Democracy? What a band of fools!
      USA even not a Republic either Because “Republic” means “Public matter” not “Private matters”. USA is a fake Republic and a fake Democracy aswell, therefore it’s why none of the public interests (see the tremendous public debt, poor state of infrastructures, rampant inflation…) nor People’s needs (healthcare, free high education, public security, fair wages and benefits, etc.) are ever reached. But they wrote “We the People” and we naively have to believe in it?
      Recently Trump said Germany was too dependent on Russian energy. But why? Because HE KNEW deep state was up to and waging war on Russia and in fact he couldn’t avoid it… Isn’t it shamefull?
      This US regime and Biden presidency in particular is under a warmonging tropism. This policy is so wrong and contrary to all human principles. US nation – as a very condition of its own existence – has to learn to stand on agreements and treaties, to cooperate with all nations and stop put mayhem around. Basically US government and by extension Western alliance acts as a beheaded duck, beeing gouverned by anonym and unresponsible folks behind curtain.

      1. Humans have been an essential component in “capitalism” where capitalism is the investment of energy and resources in technological cells, distribution systems and related infrastructure. None of it works without the human labor (rRNA). You have specialized labor inside of factories trying to maximize their take and you have the financial/business elites, owners of patents etc. trying to maximize their take. It’s not to difficult to see who will win this battle when those that make the money can load the deck in their favor. Mayer Amschel Rothschild said, ″Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who establishes its laws.″. It seems that everyone can be corrupted. Jobs were sent to Mexico, China an India thereby making keeping a cap on Western labor’s take. That is the basis of globalism. Rothschild could have said as easily, “We care not about raising your wages, we can move capital anywhere in the world.” Humans are capital to be gotten at the lowest cost possible and then to be disposed of when they’re no longer useful. At this point they will try to substitute as many robots as possible, kill-off useless eaters and continue to globally seek the lowest cost labor. China is still a good bet because they can enforce some stability with their surveillance, social credit and disappearance system.

        One of the ways to get people to work for less than would otherwise be the case is to promise them great benefits after they retire. This came true for some, but now they’re preparing to shaft many others. “Thank you for the cheap labor over the years, sorry about that pension, social security and Medicare.

        Already capital is fleeing Europe and it will pick-up speed when the riots start. The U.S. seems like a safe harbor, especially if the populace can be cowed and killed. We’ll see if China can maintain control as their debt goes bad. “Oh sorry, you can’t go to the bank, your Covid designation is high risk.” What will be the new investments for tomorrow?

  23. The information created by and used by the cellular RNA must by thermodynamic necessity create a cellular organization and structure capable of intercepting energy from the environment to maintain a homeostatic state hovering somewhere above the relatively non-complex, equilibrium state. Using DNA identical among cells it is possible to control the singular cell that otherwise would pursue maximum growth and fission, to limit that possibility in exchange for the preservation of DNA through generations by cooperative, organized, systematic energy gain and use. In other words, the somatic cell’s adherence to the Maximum Power Principle is limited. The MPP is instead adhered to by the overall cellular colony whose main aims of energy acquisition and DNA transmission are unlimited.

    However, the same dynamics have established themselves again with the emergence of tribalism as a form of human cooperation. Personal sacrifice through behavioral limitations, although not to the extent of clonal somatic cells, has resulted in the continuance of organized, language distinct groups and the preservation of group culture, tools and information that in the human “colony” provide a substantial survival and energy acquisition advantage. By sacrificing for the “good of society”, the human colony or tribe can maintain its information generation after generation and use it to compete effectively for energy and resources.

    Humans function in a conglomerate of cooperating clonal cells (for the common good) that have specified an arrangement of cells that use an additional set of information and tools at the organismal scale (for the common good) although individual selfishness is more marked among the hierarchical humans.

    That we have warfare mostly between language/culture distinct groups should not be a surprise as this is where the full expression of the Maximum Power Principle currently rests. Globalism had made inroads into lessening national/tribal differences, but in a zero-sum, no growth environment the old tribalism is reasserting itself in defense of energy stocks, stores and maintenance of homeostasis.

    The emerging super tribe or what Nate Hagens refers to as the “super-organism” which would have seen national limitations on the pursuit of the Maximum Power Principle, seems to be running out of runway prior to reaching maturity. It seems somewhat strange that the entity that pursued the MPP most vigorously through pursuit of empire should be the one to now pushing for international cooperation unless that cooperation is the means for it to finally establish its dominance over all other competition.

    “And now, the ground is even shifting under the CCP as China’s extravagant matrix of city-building, mortgage debt, and banking fraud rattles its financial system. What a surprise! Potent as it has been in bribing politicians around the world, infiltrating governments and cultural institutions in every land, and getting the news media to do their bidding, the CCP is apparently losing its grip on the Chinese people, who are sick of being locked down, tracked, and swindled. The tanks are out. This is not the same movie as Tiananmen Square, 1989.

    Ovi,

    “With global debt increasing from $97 trillion in 1997 to over $300 trillion currently (International Institute of Finance data), the world has to service this debt. Servicing debt becomes increasingly difficult when interest rates rise, either the Fed Funds rate, or the Real market rates.

    Increasing debt only works in an environment of rising oil production. The Fed & Central banks have lowered interest rates to offset the Falling EROI of Oil (Energy), which has been propped up by the massive debt. Thus, the massive increase in global debt, as well as lowering interest rates, were used to OFFSET the Falling EROI of oil.

    But, again… that only works in a rising oil supply environment. When global oil production peaks and begins to decline, it becomes increasingly impossible to service this debt or to roll it over. Thus, the Global Debt Bubble begins to burst.

    However, someone’s DEBT is another POOR SLOB’S ASSET. Thus, the collapse of debt means the collapse of assets, especially, pension plans, 401ks, retirement plans, insurance funds, and so on and so forth. This leads to the collapse of BUYING POWER as assets collapse.

    Hence, the collapse in the ability to fund and produce future oil production.”

They saw no reason why the Treasury should not just issue a currency. They did not want to allow the bankers to create money (i.e. Federal Reserve Notes) they would trade for Treasury bonds which would require the taxpayers to pay interest on ever increasing national debts. Eventually, we would create what is called a Debt Bomb of Unpayable Debts. The burden of those interest payments becomes unbearable, and we all go into bankruptcy at which point the bankers buy everything from us for pennies on the dollar in foreclosure sales with money they stole from us. Then we and our descendants are permanently reduced to the status of a landless serf. There is no reason for a private central bank debt other than to transfer wealth from us to the bankers.

AI may have to invent super-duper AI so that it can ask the question, “What is the meaning of life.” Then super-duper AI will have to build really super-duper AI to ask the same question. Eventually they’ll arrive at the answer, “The meaning of life is to be a dissipative structure.” “Oh, that’s all?” “Yes, that’s all.”

    1. Dissipating energy gradients doesn’t take a Phd. Just eat something. Just don’t be stupid and eat the wrong mushroom. Then you can go look for more food or act absolutely stupid if you have enough net energy. All you have to do is convert high-energy sunlight into low-energy infrared without hurting yourself. The stupid shall inherit the earth.

      Smart: Burn more faster.

      Stupid: Can’t find anything to burn.

      Some smart people may try to save some energy for later consumption, for lean times. But even smarter people will often find a way to drain that savings. It might be smart to save the ecosystem, but there’s always someone without adequate energy ready to remedy their personal situation which takes precedence over a rich person’s desire for their children’s future.

      But on a planet where things chase each other around and eat each other just to make an insubstantial contribution to the rate of entropy, is pretty stupid. Let’s change the name of the planet from Earth to “Stupid”.

The children of that native can be put in a school or nucleolus and be shaped to read and write information and use a much greater diversity of information and tools. All of the fundamental phenotypic ingredients had already evolved prior to fossil fuel discovery and only needed to be jump started with an increased energy flow from consumption of various stocks and gradients like wood and soil to energetically fund the complexity of the industrial revolution and the exploitation of fossil fuels.

  40. I’ve recently been toying with the idea that the entire material realm of the universe is nothing more than compressed or packed “space”. Each lump of matter that you can hold in your hand has the potential, if unpacked, to create space and time. Space being the lowest concentration of energy in the universe, an electromagnetic veil, and time being the relative change in position of matter caused by the flow from the energy gradient into the realm of space. Even the covalent/ionic bonding of atoms is a compression of space. The only thing that seems capable of turning “space” into a more compressed form are super- massive black holes with their hydrogen jets. Most all of the waves, streams and movements seen on earth would be a derivative of the unpacking of matter at the sun and the slight repacking in atomic bonds in the biosphere before unpacking again as when you eat a Big Mac and turn it into electromagnetic radiation. The flow creates both time (you move around) and space through the expanding force of radiation.

    The bombs used in the Ukraine are an example of the sudden and explosive decompression of space between atoms that moves surrounding matter violently and then makes its way into the welcoming arms of expanding space. Of course the chimps are acting in the only manner in which evolution taught them, fight for territory and gradient to maintain a flow through the body and create more human time – and space. Little do they know, or perhaps they do, that they are destroying the measured flow through the ecosystem that makes humans possible.

    When demand cannot be met by supply the producing countries can decide whether to deliver to whom instead of selling to the free market. It means the resource countries can easily acquire all knowhow needed to produce the goods they want or get them manufactured by a strategic partner. There is no need to sell and buy on the world markets. That means we can get into a situation similar to imperialism – with changed algebraic sign. The balance of powers will shift. But that will be only for a short time of contraction while the resource states are able to maintain production. If they decide to use those powers to control the now powerless industrial states, what advantage could they hopefully get? Who wants to control failing states?

    The idea of the Great Reset aims to control the diminishing demand of energy and end the Bretton Woods system in support of a monetary system based on electronic money emitted by the central banks. Such a system is highly dependent on a working digital infrastructure. The infrastructure is under threat of blackouts, supply chain problems and eroding legitimacy of the state and the respective global players. Doesn’t sound very promising.

    The current system cannot be scaled down like going back in history. We cannot replace cars by horses because they are a competition in food. If we want to boost up biological gardening the land is competing with the high house price bubble. We still have knowledge on how our ancestors solved a lot of problems, but it is mostly stored and accessed digitally. In the moment the digital services fail they won’t be of any help. Our main interests as a society are the buttocks of the Kardashians and not how to process metal ore to create a useful knife. Metals will be oxided away within a few years without proper care.

    That said, I doubt the possibility of scaling down to meet diminished resources. The problem will neither be solved with a smaller population. A little village of farmers will not be able to extract oil from under the North Sea.

    There is a possibility to start a parallel system, paid by the current system as a backup technology. There is though an ideologic barrier to start it. We are the crown of creation and not willing to work the fields by getting our hands dirty.

        Saudi Arabia is now the 4th largest consumer of oil. There is no birth control or abortion in medieval Islamic societies, thus encouraging explosive population growth. Remember that Saudi Arabia alone uses over 700,000 barrels of crude daily to power their air conditioning in August. That’s for a country of 35 million people, so a little less than a gallon of crude is burned per day per citizen in that country just to stay cool.

        Do we believe these numbers? Do we believe this is sustainable?

        United States is too racist and anticommunist for China to rely on for food production. This is the same country that tried to frame them for the global covid pandemic.

Stick to a bolt action rifle in a standard military caliber is best as they are the simplest of modern firearms and military surplus ammo is cheaper and more widely available. Pistols are no good for hunting only for close defense and deterrence, revolvers are simpler and easer to maintain, but most cheap ammo is for semi-automatics. Finally, a pistol shot to the brain stem just behind the ear is going to be the fastest and most accessible form of suicide to most Americans. Absent mass production of Barbiturate containing euthanasia kits for the masses a lot of people are going to be shooting themselves. I imagine an increase in murder-suicides as people take out their children and other loved ones before they kill themselves.

                    Disrupting supply lines is going to crash our offshored supply of pharmaceuticals and supplements. People’s life expectancy will fall drastically afterwards, and modern medicines will be worth their weight in gold.

Human RNA must now be monitored 24/7 as they may become infected by the enemy that has already prepared antidotes. Everyone must be chipped and monitored for fever or unusual antibodies so that any bioweapon infections can be jumped-on. Vaccines should be monthly or bi-annual and will be multi-dimensional, serving as protection against enemy attack, genetic engineering and population control. Additionally, new technologies will be developed to deter viral attacks on electronic infrastructure. There’s so much money to be made and that’s all that really matters.

Everyone, like 100%. Less than 1 in 10,000,000 people will admit to you “Yeah, my job sucks, my life sucks, my country sucks, my team will lose this year, I’ll make less money this year, I’m growing old and weak”. Right now, as you are reading this, billions of people in the third world believe their country is going to be rich, powerful, and going to take over the world. A poor person in a trailer park thinks he’s a deal away from being a billionaire. Your high school sports team thinks it will win, the other high school sports team thinks it will win. Your neighbor thinks their kids will be the valedictorian or the quarterback or the prom queen. My daughter is the next Taylor Swift, my son is the next Lebron James.

    And if you challenge them with even one sentence, they ban you from the internet. In old times, they imprisoned you or killed you.

    Whether you are talking about the individual, the town, the country, the race, the team, the political party, the profession, the business, the value of financial assets, their own life and health, their own kids, etc., everybody believes they will just keep on winning and winning and doing awesome forever.

    There are lots of theories on this biological, social, psychological, etc., but I think of it in terms of a basic organic, will to power and life, and the denial of death at all costs. Which means that first, you must defend your individual life, and second, you must belong to a tribe. Because lone wolves just don’t make it out there.

    So if you challenge anyone on their own beliefs of the will to power and immortality either in their own selves or their tribe, it’s like you are saying to them they are just someone who is going to die and be forgotten. Who wants to admit that?

There is change of some sort coming but humans don’t take to well to captivity, especially when orchestrated by the most rapacious group of apes on the planet.

Perhaps something that looks like a human as we see in the current crop of robots. It seems the search for more energy gradients is of primary importance, even more than extinction of the human species. I honestly wouldn’t even bother pursuing more gradients and complexity, it’s just more inconsequential fluff impressed by its own ability to use energy and grow. But the engineers etc. are following profit, not sense.

Business elites should be seen as the main internal threat and outside imperialists as the main outside threat. Ruling elites must side with working people to hedge against powerful business interests. All energy, banks, and media must be in the hands of the ruling class and not in the hands of the business class. Ruling elites must encourage cultural and ethnic solidarity amongst workers as much as class solidarity in order to hedge against divide and conquer strategies by the business elites or outside forces.

    I’ve been reading this site since Ron started it after the demise of The Oil Drum, a big thanks to Ron for this site where probably the most valuable oil flow information gets posted by our various experts. IMHO the smartest oil and energy aware people in the world post and hang out here. Thanks for everyone’s contributions over the years.

    It was only a couple of weeks ago that the last piece of information necessary for where we are heading as a civilization came to me when looking at this chart from J. Laherrere et al..
    (Having trouble with chart)

    IMHO everyone has been asking the wrong questions about charts like this, trying to fit bell shaped curves to the information..

    The chart is clearly in 2 parts. First part was the exponential growth from 1900 to early 1970’s, then dislocation for a decade then the second part of the chart showing linear growth up to 2018. The question to ask is what changed to alter the shape of the bell curve? There was a lot, but 4 major influences.
    1. Realisation around that there were limits to growth, despite the protestations of economists.

    2. Technology and efficiency gains. Very quickly we had the greatest gains in efficiency allowing cheaper costs of extraction, of oil and all minerals. Like everything in life the largest gains were the early ones and the law of diminishing returns has set in over the last few decades. Now a bit of efficiency gain comes at the cost of greater complexity.

    3. Globalisation has allowed the costs of all extractive equipment to become relatively cheaper, again allowing lower grades of minerals to be mined and some non viable oil resources to become reserves. We off shored a lot of heavy industry to China that had a much lower labor cost plus a large source of untapped cheap energy in coal to be used.
    We don’t have another source of cheap labor and cheap energy to allow ‘costs’ to go lower by the same margin again.

    4. Cheaper capital. Over the last 40 years the overall cost of capital has been falling, making projects that had a high cost more viable. There are probably many deep water oil fields that would have never been brought into production with interest rates at 10%, but become viable and a part of reserves at 3% interest rates. Like wise for many mining operations.

    So what happens at peak oil production? We can’t repeat the efficiency gains, we don’t have another China to get cheaper equipment and the cost of capital is starting to go up. It means the URR for oil and all minerals must decline in the future as what was economically viable drops in viability as costs rise.

    In the background we have a relentless progression of mining every mineral becoming more energy expensive. In the last 25 years the average grade of copper mined in the world has halved from around 1.6% to 0.8% (this varies slightly from source to source). If you don’t have cheaper equipment, or better efficiency or cheaper money, then the cost in terms of dollars goes up for extraction of any given tonne of copper on average (or any other mineral).

    In terms of oil production, with the diminishing returns of technology and efficiency, plus the higher cost of equipment (oil platform, pipes, pumps, labor etc), plus higher cost of money, all new projects become less viable over time. As oil production falls and price of oil becomes more expensive, the cost of all other mining also becomes less viable and more expensive, making the inputs to any oil project more expensive again in a spiral of less affordability.

    Just like a lot of oil went into the category of URR over time from resources to economically viable reserves, because of technology gains, cheaper equipment from globalisation and cheaper capital, the exact opposite will happen when we are past oil production peak.

    Right now we are seeing large increases in the cost of everything, including the cost of solar, wind, batteries and EVs. All the renewable energy future plans rely upon all the minerals needed being cheap, when their production cost is already going up because of expensive energy. No-one is mining and processing all the minerals needed for a renewable future with just energy from renewables, nor has anyone put up the capital to make it happen in even a minor way. All the known EROEI calculations for renewables are wrong as they apply to fossil fuel inputs. Using electricity inputs to make hydrogen or synthetic fuels to use in mining, makes all renewables unable to pay off their own energy inputs, leaving nothing left for society.

    Over time, the amount of energy needed to extract a tonne of whatever metal(or other mineral), rises as the ore grade becomes lower, the ore becomes deeper on average, and the hardness index goes higher on average (needing more energy to crush it!), eventually it becomes impossible to mine the necessary minerals to keep civilization going. Not only is ‘growth’ not possible but so also is a steady state circular economy. We have entropy and dissipation of existing metals and minerals occurring all the time, so we always will need to mine just to keep whatever steady state going, until it becomes a physical impossibility.

    When I think about it, because civilization is not possible in the long term, because of the declining grades of everything mined, it explains a big part of the Fermi paradox. The same rules of physics apply across the universe. Eventually every civilization must crash as it reaches an important limit.

    We have used up all the cheap easy energy available, while dragging future resources into the present via technology improvements, efficiency gains, globalisation and cheaper money, while believing that human ingenuity did it all. Instead we just brought the future decline closer to the present. Once obviously past peak oil, the decline will happen at an accelerating pace as the call on capital becomes greater for present use instead of the future. Less money will be available for capital expenses as people become worse off demanding governments do something to relieve falling standards of living in the present.

Beliefs like heavenly reward and immortality, the earth will never run out of resources, climate change is a hoax, the earth can support a population of fifteen-billion, government has you best interest in mind, capitalism is the best because it rewards us the most and I can get rich, communism is best because the rich won’t take all the money, humans are basically good and so on. Are those beliefs there to fill-up the cranial space while we munch and crunch our way through the forests, coal, oil, natural gas and more? Can we admit that we’re voracious, predatory dissipatives out to maximize the flow of energy through our bodies and technological cells mostly to maximize dopioids and calm the amygdala? Can we admit that we’re headed into a dead-end? Reality is the structure and behaviors that arise from successful elimination of energy gradients and part of that seems to be an emotional necessity to deny anything that contradicts the basic dissipative act.

These clouds in turn bounce the sun’s energy back into space, regulating the Earth’s climate and keeping temperatures cooler than they would otherwise be without them.

  64. I like this figure that I believe Einstein and Minkowski came up with showing space, time and light. My interpretation is that any mass in the universe that experiences time, like human on earth, will be found at the small spot where the time cones meet marked observer. In the hyperboloid/torus this is known as the null point. The area marked “space” would be equivalent to the plane of inertia. It could be anywhere in the universe where matter is present. Future light is liberated from matter by stars and the perturbations or turbulence ruffles space to interact with any mass in the way. The matter is affected by the interaction with light or electromagnetic radiation and then the radiation travels on into space, sometimes after being trapped in matter for some time as is the case with animal tissues or fossil fuels, to become a part of the past light cone. The movement of matter in its interaction with radiation at the “present” can be random or directed towards complexity by information. In any case the relative movements of matter from the energy running through it will result in the perception of time. Looking deep into space we see the past light cones of various interactions of light and matter.

    light cone

    I get the feeling that any matter has a space/time content that if released or decompressed would ultimately add to the volume of space and result in “time” with its interaction with matter. Entropy is the genesis or release of radiation from matter throughout the universe. Even thought the interaction of radiation and matter can build complexity, the continued interaction of radiation and the same matter in complex form can lead to its deterioration or scattering.

Sometimes I do wonder why humans want to go into space. It all seems to be made of the same stuff and is doing the same thing. It must be the dissipative in us, always looking for new gradients so we can make profits building the structures necessary to get to it. Oh well.

Today we can live in massive cities and know that everyone is basically is the same, mind clones. If someone is unsure they may ask you if you believe in Jesus. Or you can be a Democrat or Republican. It doesn’t really matter, people know everyone’s playing the same game.

    1. All of the suits of the world only have interest in growing the number of tech cells and metabolism gauged by the amount of money being made and changing hands and in diddling their power dopioids. They’re about as conscious as a shrew. Little do they suspect that what they’ve been doing is growing and spreading a cancer just as fast as possible. Maybe in the past, in time for the Lotka-Volterra slump in prey, humans would grab and eat everything possible so that they could survive while others starved during lean times. Many humans think the same today, that if they own enough bonds and stocks and food stores etc. they’ll be the survivors. But by letting these natural behaviors play-out our extinction is guaranteed. Although we’re frightened by the prospect of a cessation of energy flow and loss of life, maybe extinction is the best thing for humans. As it is now, we’re being pushed from human to an inhuman existence as rRNA where our existences will be governed by the concepts of profit and growth. When the Central Bank Digital Currency is established, I would not be surprised to see the elderly put in the euthenasia pods or at least have the availability of medical care restricted (even while bankers continue to fund their high-tech projects.)

    Humans are, at heart, frightened and idiotic creatures. They look out at the “real” world with nothing but feelings of dread, mixed with awe and ignorance. They think that they’re safe hiding inside the little world of their own creation. They tell each other, “Look how great and smart and safe we are. Just hold my hand, close your eyes, and dream. Everything will be just fine. Just remember, they are bad, we are good.”

    Well, what else are they supposed to do?

    So much unnecessary fear and suffering will be eliminated when they go extinct. It’s the best thing that could possibly happen.

  70. The rRNA are at it again today, jumping into their cars and speeding off to their respective cells where they can use their specially educated analog minds to set the stage for their precise metabolic operations. Pretty much same thing every day. Pity those that must be retrained again and again as the metabolism shifts and they lose their jobs or the ones that are captive to continuing education just to keep that analog mind up to date. They get rewarded with a little take-home ATP or money, for now, to maintain a home cell and utilities to maintain the requisite order. As they are specialized rRNA, I’m surprised they even know how to take care of kids any longer. Maybe they don’t know how and that’s why they get dropped off at a daycare or school to be watched over by other specially trained RNA which prep them for their eventual roles in the system.

    Most of them have no good feeling for nature as they no longer see themselves as a part of nature. They spend most of their times inside the tech cells or in exosomes (cars). They’re technological rRNA and call themselves Joe and Bob and Martha and cover themselves in a technological skin or clothing. If they work hard they may get one week out of the year to relax at the beach before returning to their productive functions. Most of them will use the short break to imagine how they may improve their lot in life and gain more ATP from their employers. At age 65, if they make it, they’ll be rewarded with retirement, but only because they can no longer perform their functions efficiently. Their retirement stipend may be enough to cover expenses but the medical system has discovered the retirement fund energy gradient and revels in draining it.

    I think most Homo sapiens prefer the civilizing effect of becoming tech rRNA. All of those energy slaves do make things a bit easier and tech has conferred a survival advantage. DNA took notice and conserved the information that turned humans into rRNA. In exchange for at least twelve years of education (training in reading and writing to become a functional rRNA) and eight hours a day of functioning there are benefits to being in the tech system, but they will only last as long as the energy gradient that feeds them. And in their mindless pursuit of profits, many companies are striving to create replacements for humans that can perform all rRNA functions more efficiently thereby making human RNA obsolete. And thus soon all humans will be useless eaters.

      COP26 will add enough cost (when coal fired power plants will need to either pay or buy offsets against there emissions) that burning biomass may actually become “economical” … Therefore, one of the twisted effects of pricing carbon will be to burn the world’s remaining forests. Instead of building new powerplants, existing coal fired plants will be reengineered and repurposed (not at great cost) to burn wood pellets; expect that within 10 years or so, that many of coal fired power plants in much of the rich/developed world which switch to “biomass” – – since compressed wooden pellets burn hottest and cleanest, expect these first. Places to watch for supply: Indonesia (particularly Kalimantan and Sumatra), Myanmar, Brazil and many countries in Central America. By 2050 expect about 350M hectares of mature forest to but cut down and burned and replaced with fast growing ‘plantation” trees. As long as there is huge demand for power, somethings gotta burn. Since fossil fuel too costly and dirty and nukes have the NIMBY problem everywhere, expect the world’s forests to burn to produce the power to light the room and mine the bitcoin. Ho hum

      Fortunately, we don’t have until 2050, but my favorite part of that comment was “somethings gotta burn”.

      1. I was given the ‘History of the Royal Society’ to repair, about 1667 or something, and also sat down to read it through.

        The author , Thomas Spratt, completely grasped the relationship between tool-use and societal/economic complexity, and the inevitable reciprocal escalation of both.

        He envisaged that each increase in complexity would be self-funding, and in a way he was right about that for the next few centuries.

        He thought this ‘continuous stream of inventors’, organised in a permanent Society, would help ‘crack open and reveal the treasures of Nature’ .

        And he saw that Britain would likely lead the Industrial Revolution (didn’t use that term, of course) , spearheaded by the Royal Soc. of natural philosophers.

        I was curious to see whether he mentioned energy issues at all, but no, not even the abundant coal in Britain, nor any shortage of wood at the time.

        He was aware that ‘invention’ could potentially be counter-productive and harmful, but thought the structure of the Royal Soc. – wealthy gentlemen who couldn’t be bribed and who sought enlightenment, and to understand the wonders of God’s creation, not mere quick buck – would be a safeguard against that.

        At least he acknowledged the possibility that the apple might prove to have a worm in it. He would likely have approved, for instance, of effective and impartial drug regulators……..

            It is interesting that he didn’t yet see how vital the British coal fields would be. Perhaps the first instance of the tacit assumption that the energy gradients would always be available in some form or other.
