NS was not around before 2002 so you did not Join in the Last Millennium.

Really? I have always thought I created my nation when I lived in Midlands of South Carolina, and I moved out of there in 2000. And I very specifically remember that I learned about it by reading Jonah Goldberg on NRO.

Yeah, it was not a memory per se, but the assumption that I still lived in Midlands when I created Midlands.

Same as I have with free anything.
It eventually costs too much, provides too little, then plummets you into war or a revolution for your trouble.

I prefer fair trade.

Why anyone would choose a worse deal, just to support "developing countries" (or for that matter, choose a worse deal for any humanitarian reasons), and then decide to force businesses to choose that worse deal also, is beyond me. Let people trade with whoever they want

Daily Question #50

Woohoo! We've been asking and answering daily questions for 50 days?!?! What a massive achievement! Let us hope we can reach 60 days and then 100 days! We will have three questions today about technology!

(1) When do you think the majority of the population will have electric vehicles?

(2) When do you think time travel will be possible?

(3) When do you think automation will take control of the majority of the workplace?

(2) Never.
(3) In about a century.

I hope that electric never fully replaces ICE vehicles. After we reach peak oil around 2040, i plan to start a business manufacturing synthetic petroleum products using GTL technology (mainly gas and diesel, as well as a few useful others) and then sell them to car owners who cant find fuel for their cars. Currently such a process already exists, but it isn't commercially deployed because it is cheaper to refine crude oil.

Unfortunately for my 200 IQ plan, current government targets and the green movement means electric will be widespread by the time peak oil happens, which will make the petroleum market extinct. However, third World countries in the future will probably remain underdeveloped and reliant on fossil fuels even after the rest of the world has moved onto electric.

Just a side note, GTL manufactured petroleum may be carbon neutral, since you can use biomass to produce methane which then feeds a GTL reactor. So this solution would actually be more environmentally friendly than real fossil derived petroleum

The "workplace" is extremely vague and could cover literally any job. Certain jobs, such as, for example, a psychologist, cannot be automated (not that AI cannot do what psychologists do, but rather that no one will feel satisfied talking to an AI)

Yes, trade with who you like, but equitably.

The US paradigm since WWII is that it has to drop its pants and bend over the bargaining table, and if we are very lucky, a little Vaseline is involved.

That is the price Progressives and Globalists demanded for the US coming out of the world wars as a super power, because that was apparently a bad thing.

1) Well, the US wants it done by 2030, and this year is the last year for most gas engine production domestically. This is not going to end well.

2) As far as an HG Wells Time Machine scenario goes, never.
I think the closest thing we will get to it practically is travelling the stars at near luminal speeds. That is going to make a big enough mess out of Relativity, and our psychology.

3) It already has. It is not just robots in the factory, but modern IT infrastructure augments, supplements, and substitutes the majority of human clerical and logistic management in every industry.

It's supposed to be a vague question, in the future robots will replace every job, including psychologists. They can take on a humanoid form and the people will not even know and think it's a human being.

China is getting ahead now. Keep in mind while China likes free trade, they like exports. They wish to send out goods and not bring any in. They are tricksters.

China is not globalist, they are the opposite, they are imperialist. They are actually developing genetic bio-weapons to wipe out other races and ethnicities so people of Chinese origin and genetics can rise to the top.

America has to reprioritize their military power for the time being if they want to win. But alas, Biden is a fool and will serve the globalist elite.

That is impossible. Either they will have to massively destroy the American economy or they are lying, and know it's implausible.

Yes China likes free trade, because it can politically wrangle the advantage out of simpering western communist apologists.
That is why there are those like Trump and I who push for "fair" trade policy that does not leave such a sore corn hole.

China is very much economically globalist in its aspirations, but practices through a different perspective than its western counterparts.

Anchillas wrote:That is impossible. Either they will have to massively destroy the American economy or they are lying, and know it's implausible.

I vote for both.
It has always been the goal of American Progressives to destroy the free market system, and reshape it in some psuedosocialist image, and they are so close now.
Their incrementalism over the last century has already reduced us to an institutionally corrupt crony capital system.
Now as they engineer pricing the market out of median affordability, and begin nailing the coffin shut on the private ownership of land, they just about have the US primed and cornered for their "Great Reset".

1 : At this rate? 80+ years or never.

2 : if it possible at all then it already exists and someone keeps messing with the timeline!

3 : 5 to 10 years.

So Skynet sends Deckard back to retire Roy Batty before he can become the first Neo that begins liberating people from the Matrix, but John Connor arrives from the Off World Colonies with an Alien virus that triggers World War Z.

1) Too damn soon for my taste

2) Never

3) Never as well, new jobs would have to replace the lost ones or else the economy would just collapse
