Putin chose to build a military, and restore the soviet union, rather than an economy. Given the RU oil wealth, there is no reason that the quality of life in RU is not equal to that of Norway, had RU used the Norway strategy.

Well I mean, evolution= increase in conversion of energy. And energy consumption = gdp = IQ. I mean .. it is what it is.
Nuclear is infinitely re-refinable, but costly w low supply.
Storage of Solar Energy is extraordinary.
The problem is a battery w/ energy density of gasoline.

How do we have the benefits of perpetual growth when populations are collapsing because we have encouraged women into the workforce, and concentrated in so many urban centers, that raising replacement population is economically impossible?
We don’t – without AI and Automation.

And this is why I state that full accounting of capital is so important, because we’re clearly getting poorer, not wealthier, in the sense that we are burning western civilizational capital via marxism-to-woke like we are burning 100M years of trees in petroleum products.

Much of my argument for constitutional, economic, financial, and benefit reform is demonstrated by Tesla’s success at defeating existing companies by putting capital to limits instead of compromise on near returns.

TESLA, HAYEKIAN PRODUCTION CYCLES, AND US MISALLOCATION OF CAPITAL TO RENT-SEEKING
So the rate at which Tesla is inventing technology is disturbing, not just because it’s so exceptional, but because it’s an example of ‘what goes well’ if capital pursues higher long term returns.

Good. Now, if only the USA will do the same to its equivalent: the consumer credit card, banking, mortgage, insurance, and pension sectors. 😉 That would force all free capital into productive, non-rent-seeking, ends by forcing longer term investments in capital production. 😉

I did not account for recently suggested opinion that a UA that is modernized, re-industrialized, in the EU, with all its resources, will provide a labor and manufacturing competitor to DEU? Seems far fetched to me. DEU’s problem is their Greens killing nuclear, and Merkel+Putin. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1570499513940606976

I don’t look at it that way. Figure out what talent it enables, and where in the economy you can use it. The rest is just “therapy” (counseling) to help develop rituals so you’re less dependent upon self regulation. Lastly the ADHD drugs do work pretty amazingly.
