No-till agriculture solves the anthropogenic erosion problem, and can have yields equal to or higher than conventional agriculture. The main reason more people don’t do it is because you can’t monocrop on it year after year.

Careful, one or two more paragraphs down that slope and you might be accused of describing a Deep State and/or an insurrection

Is it safe to visit the region as a mountaineer tourist, these days?

Bittersweet. Because the reason all those dams are able to be sold is because the textile industry and paper industry that used to rely on them has all moved to Asia and Canada, decades ago, and now these mill towns are depressed drug dens

And microwaves put housewives out of business (or …into it)

The way you are thinking about this makes me think the eventual solution will be a black box label on the gas pump that says “Studies have shown that burning gasoline increases the risk of climate-change related weather events”

> lawsuits assert that oil companies should help pay the escalating costs being imposed on the public by climate-fueled extreme weather because they knew the risks their products posed

How would one even begin to adjudicate that? How do you determine which storm or what portion of a storm was caused by climate change, and how do you determine what portion of climate change was caused by Exxon’s CO2 emissions or whatever?

I’m still not seeing it. A model can approximate it in a continuous way, sure, but an actual orderbook will always be discrete. And emergence doesn’t change that either.

I don’t understand how anyone can say market data is continuous. It’s an aggregate of discrete orders and transactions. It may look continuous if you squint, but it’s not.
