The global electricity consumption in 2022 was 24,398 terawatt-hour (TWh)

according to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric _energy_consumption#:~:text=The%20global%20electricity%20consumption%20in,global%20share%20of%20electricity%20consumption.

looks like we are both wrong.

here is a comparison between the two:

Is security waste?

The opposite of efficient isn't waste: it's robustness. you trade robustness for efficiency. no one trades waste for efficiency.

My understanding was the asteroid event wasn’t extinction level - and that the extinction of the dinosaurs was a longer (100k+ year span) beginning before the asteroid hit.

That the asteroid hitting and killing everything in one go is a sticky belief, that’s poorly supported by the actual evidence…

But that could just be people arguing loudly for the sake of arguing…

A big asteroid hitting and killing everything is… just SO NEAT and TIDY… it makes it hard to question. But maybe…

Things aren’t great: but still should be careful how we move to fix them.

As in: we could cause an unintended disaster.

Removing the pollution (artificial clouds) looks like it is going to raise global temperatures based on the data we have from 2020-2021 during the pandemic (when all the cruise ships stopped).

I’m for less pollution: but we’ve put ourselves in a precarious scenario, where (only) stopping now is not enough.

Corporations are the cancer: every cooperation so far as either eaten their hands already or have started nibbling.

Other groups, structures may be able to avoid this… but the hands eating problem is the tendency because the hands are tasty to get rid of (usually).

Kinda-sorta…

Egregore is a French word meaning “soul of the group”. Originally it defined religious out-groups by associating such a construction as demonic (ignoring that they are doing the same thing with “god”).

So the word has shifted a bit from its original meaning: the core idea is: a group of people make up a “person”…

So if “company culture” is “legal personhood”…

modeling a company as an agent is useful

The egregoric life cycle is this. A company: that “personhood” we’ve legalized is an egregore.

There are two camps people who serve an egregore fall into. ‘the hands’ are concerned with ‘the mission’: (make a good product). ‘the mouth’ are concern with feeding the egregore (sales/marketing).

The life cycle describes that the mouth will always take over, and eat the hands. Every time. And once the hands are eaten it can’t feed itself anymore.

No: that wasn’t the media - that was the people.

I mean, sure the media too… but it was the people calling for something new…

Just like the people (not the media) now are calling for a stoppage of weapon shipping… stopping those weapons (a 20bil deal) would save a lot of lives and money. We should lot be funding a genocide with bombs.

The current system uses a hella lot more than just visa… if the entire system were to be replaced (no paper, no cards, purely digital) it would be a net win for humanity…

And that’s with CURRENT bitcoin tech.

That’s not mentioning at all that tech improves and becomes more efficient over time.
The next big crypto coin is the thing to watch out for.

@unclesam I think you are trolling instead of engaging in an honest discussion. Either you are being dense on purpose or you are being dense without realizing it. You’ve ignored anything I’ve actually said and engaged solely in what-about-ism.

consider pausing to reflect on the billions we are spending to bomb children is the issue… not words about bombing children, words aren’t the issue; anyone can say anything… but not anyone can do something…

Do: don’t talk. Stop the bombs.

Mad at both. But come on… don’t be combative to genuine criticism… just do better. Don’t complain about how hard it is to do better either.

Mad at Joe for different reasons (pro-capitalist/antiworker railroad strike breaking, for example). But she said those words: not Joe. Joe agrees, sure… but did you hear what she said? Or just what you wanted to hear?

@unclesam 20 billion dollar weapon deal? Remind me how indiscriminate bombing fueled by racism constantly for a year is done in defense? Is committing a genocide “right to defend”?

You want a ceasefire? Stop giving them things to fire? Let the bombs run out: enough of them have fallen… too many have fallen.

It’s time to let the hate cool off. Can’t do that while bombs are dropping.

@denisbloodnok @JustinH @parismarx @molly0xfff astonishing USE of energy. Security is valuable, which is what the energy is spent on. That it only secures the blockchain and doesn’t do anything else doesn’t make it ‘wasteful’

With that said: I really like ideas like folding@home where the work produces medical value: but securing the underlying asset is a good thing.
