Truthfulness requires the satisfaction of the market demand for meaning(disambiguation), contingency(opportunity), consistency (deduction).

    (FB 1548825871 Timestamp) —“Consider the implications even from 1980, the Apple II era. A single iPhone at 1980 energy-efficiency would require as much power as a Manhattan office building. Similarly, a single data center at circa 1980 efficiency would require as much power as the entire U.S. grid. But because of efficiency gains, the world today has billions of smartphones and thousands of datacenters.”—

    (FB 1548825829 Timestamp) The Jevons Paradox is why you do NOT TRY TO SAVE ELECTRICITY. Why? It merely increases the consumption of electricity and demand for increased production of electricity. At your most optimum, you will simply transfer cleaner electrical production domestically to uncleaner electrical production overseas. ECONOMICS IS COUNTER-INTUITIVE. All human behavior is best understood as hydraulic. Something here is always offset by something there.

    (FB 1548825652 Timestamp) —“….as the energy efficiency of engines increases, markets [identify increased opportunities for their use, resulting in] increased overall energy use.”— Jevons Paradox longer version —-“Engines, both literally and figuratively, power the modern era. Engines matter because they convert otherwise useless forms of energy into useful work. And as the energy efficiency of engines increases, markets use more of them in more varied ways, which throughout history has resulted in increased overall energy use – a.k.a. the Jevons Paradox.”—

Collectively, all those transistors consume more electricity than the state of California.”— Mark P. Mills Longer Version —“The invention of the transistor-based logic engine, the integrated circuit, turned 60 this year. Today, humanity fabricates 1,000 times more transistors annually than the entire world grows grains of wheat and rice combined. Collectively, all those transistors consume more electricity than the state of California. The rise of transistors as “engines of innovation” emerged from Moore’s Law. And we’re still in its early days: paraphrasing Mark Twain, recent reports of the death of that Law are greatly exaggerated.”— Mark P. Mills

    (FB 1548822243 Timestamp) -ANSWERS- We market tested ‘white sharia’ for a bit. (a) the natural law is highly intolerant. Most intolerant. And the Most Intolerant Wins. (b) White Sharia successfully conveys radical intolerance. (c) it also conveys the wrong basis for that intolerance. (d) it still floats around but mostly as ‘insider language’ or more properly ‘sh-t talking’. My answer: Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Kin over Corporation, and Zero Tolerance is enough. Truth is enough.
