RE: There Is Such A Thing Called Free Lunch!

Wow nice response, yes the ledger is a mechanism! It's true that scarcity isn't the best yardstick for measuring value.. there was an interesting article before that I read about avoiding GDPs / other financial indicators when assessing the health/wealth of a nation. -

(yup here's it is!)

Interesting concept... "cultural psychopaths." Also

...how much money they can make, because that's what they've promised their population.

Wow. That's a very concise way to think about the role of government.

The more you collaborate, the more competitive you become.

Good insight there.

So... Ireland then, yeah? Interestingly the U.S. isn't in the top ten. 21st? Not so great.

Good stuff, Kevin. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting post. Though I've got a question.

Why do you think sufficiently advanced technology (e.g. in renewables, and 3d printing) will be open to anyone other than a minority of people, and not fiercely protected with patents and force?

Especially considering that that research would have been produced with labour.

As an aside, this sounds like some sort of voluntary collectivism, which imo will never be widespread.

Great post, though!

IMO, history seems to show the commoditization of advanced technology over time. The phone in my hand has more computing power than super computers of old, etc.

yes, a 'Good" country would be nice ...
I missed this TED, TY !
