Move production to the US so Trump can hold your infrastructure hostage and make ridiculous demands.

Children aren't being produced. Birth rates are declining.

People conflate the carrying capacity of the economy with GDP, but these are different. The economy grows but requires fewer workers over time. As the carrying capacity decreases, the population decreases. On the ground, this manifests as the inability to afford child rearing.

The excerpt you cited assumes that this race of workers must afford to perpetuate itself in order to be viable. It cannot perpetuate itself, and it is not viable.

Just a terrible description of what this is. I know a lot about Bitcoin and I can't make sense of this.

This is exactly it.

We fail at teaching a means with no end. Help them find an interesting end and they will achieve it by any means necessary.

Our job as parents is to expose our kids to a wide variety of disciplines so that they can find their interest.

I read that Elon Musk runs his private school this way. The kids narrow their focus quite early on. But of course there's tons of depth to study. So they actually get somewhere.

I was paying experts in a wide variety of industries for interviews in which I meticulously documented and organized the comprehensive role of the human in that line of work. I thought I was building a treasure chest, but it turns out nobody wants that shit.

Anyways, just a story on small-time closed data for reference.
