it’s the season finale of civilization

the US is already beginning to experience this phenomenon in our politics. there are quite a lot of people in this country who literally cannot have a three part conversation with each other before refusing to communicate any further.

eventually we will be using words and phrases in a completely post-geographic, post-internet way and as a result find it difficult to communicate in a mutually intelligible way with people from distant internet niches.

this linguistic shift is going to be a big deal ... participating socially on the internet will be a crucial part of literacy. of course this has already happened to some degree. but mostly we’re just repurposing pre-internet figures of speech.

for most of human history, the etymologies of most words have been determined by artisan labor. in the future, I think internet niches will take over this role. the more influential the niche, the more of their terminology and slang will be generalized.

this is why i think, generally speaking, highly engaged political people should focus more on changing the economy and less on the elections. “we can do both” isn’t useful because the question is “can we do both fast enough”.

and unfortunately you can’t just pass a few reforms and suddenly stop selling oil rigs and aircrafts. would be sweet if you could but this transition is going to take decades and only moves *more slowly* because of our political system.

politicians will say out of one side of their mouth that we need to move beyond oil and on the other side say we need an economy that works for everyone. well then we need to change what we produce!

the economy itself has to provide different political incentives. whether supply side or demand side. if we want to move past a fossil economy we need to make capital goods that enable that.

taking political power just means taking over the levers of influence over an economy that largely produces things that create the political problems we’re struggling to resolve. you can’t revolutionize the economy by tweaking those levers.

the capital goods (means of production) we produce and export determine both our domestic and foreign policy. if we want to change our politics, we have to change the capital goods we produce *beforehand*.

No domestic political conversation should ignore this list — top production categories for the US: aircraft, industrial machines, semiconductors, electronic devices, telecom infrastructure, medical equipment, chemicals, fuel oil, petroleum products, plastic, non-monetary gold.

don’t get me wrong I love a good apocalypse scare, but there is not going to be a global pandemic coronavirus outbreak. this is geopolitics.

Adam Schiff looks like he’s about to crack up every time he looks up from his notes.
