As someone who understands the tech side well (computer science, complex adaptive systems, and robotics background) and the economics side poorly, I still disagree with the economist in this video.

I really do think this time automation is different. Eventually, every basic human need will be completely automated. Many typically "thinking" jobs will be automated such as the financial, design, and marketing industries. Researchers have already developed algorithms to "repair" minor problems in software, make art that people find enjoyable, and engineer structures.

People truly underestimate how much better a computer is at many tasks. They aren't just faster - they are unbiased, objective thinkers. People think that they can't figure out certain "unmeasurable" things, but we know that's not true: How to Measure Anything

We can't predict how humanity will respond well enough, but I don't think most people understand the scale to which computers are already impacting their lives, let alone how they will in the near future.

My personal prediction is this will be countered by a shrinking population, increased standard of living (eventually), and increased demand on nonessentials like the arts.

>I really like learning about cases like Enron.

I love reading and hearing about model cities. Here's some other media if you like this sort of stuff.

One of the most engrossing biographies I've ever read, The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York is the story of a power hungry paperclip maximizer but instead of prioritizing paperclips over everything, Moses prioritizes wildly expensive highways. His fall, around the late 60s, lead to renewed interest in public transit and a counter-revolution articulated in Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities.

Every city planner has a plan until they get doused with a squatter's bucket of piss.

For those further interested in charter cities, see recently-ousted world bank chief economist Paul Romer's conversation on charter cities.

  EDIT: According to this, he spends about $37.14 per day on average. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the protein for free which would save $12/day.

If UX and design piques your interests, Design of Everyday Things is a great book on the subject. Even if you don't ever planning on designin anything it gives you perspective to see things around you in new ways.

For a good sleeping position, get a good pillow. You want one that is molded to support your neck. Once your head is in the right position, the rest of your body will follow.

Also, since your spine is hurting, put another pillow under your knees.

You're right, there's actually a shitload of books about rust.

It was this one: https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Longest-War-Jonathan-Waldman/dp/1451691602

Honestly, a tremendously interesting book.

I love this stuff. For anyone interested in surprising statistical analysis of a sport check out The Numbers Game: Why Everything You Know About Soccer Is Wrong by Chris Anderson. https://www.amazon.com/Numbers-Game-Everything-About-Soccer/dp/0143124560

This is a really fascinating era. There's a book I've been meaning to read about this time period: 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. It's excellent.

Thank you! Any opinion on the Hubsan H107L?

I just finished the chapter on this in The Devil's Chessboard. If you want to get upset about the CIA and the State Department in the 1950s, pick up a copy. The Dulles brothers were Nazi-supporting narcissists who went out of their way to protect their former clients at the price of many innocent lives throughout their reign as Secretary of State and CIA director.

I have watched the video entirely. I've also spoken to many parents with all sorts of different viewpoints and read a fair amount on the topic. And no, I don't mean google searches. This book is probably the most fair and balanced book on the topic. It was written by a midwife with a medical degree.

The rest of the series is here, but you have to pay for a subscription. However, there's an option for a one month free trial. Just remember to cancel it!

How does Billy even have the money to be a major financial backer of Twin Galaxies? He owns a hot sauce company for Christ's sake. Hot sauce companies have notoriously low margins, and as a hot sauce connoisseur, I've never even heard of Rickey's Hot Sauce (notice the website is shut down for bandwidth exceeded) on /r/spicy, /r/HotPeppers or thehotpepper.com for that matter. Even on the hot sauce's Amazon page, its claim to fame is that it was featured in the Donkey Kong documentary put out more than 10 years ago now.

Just doesn't add up.

Apparently it's still available from Amazon Mexico.

regarding the historical background.
