@yogthos@lemmy.ml Here you can see the attached image. Gorbachev and Yeltsin were the result of the oil decline.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml Running out of energy is what was making everything fall apart. When the energy was growing, any kind of gap could be filled with more energy. But after it started declining, the gaps just got bigger. Yeah, they could have decided to become compassionate and think about how to live in a lower energy world, but they refused. And so the collapse, it was a combination of geopolitical factors, but it was also a refusal to adapt. China is smart. They have a very big rural promotion program. They can tell when someone is smart and knows what they're talking about. I meet with the leading scientists on energy and resources around the world every month. You can check out the YouTube channel of my name if you want.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml indoor farming is much more energy intensive. You can't defy the laws of physics sorry. Energy decline is certain, all feasts come to an end. The longer you stay in the denial and refuse to adapt the worse it is for you and your kindred. It is extremely practical to have land distribution because we have much better technology to make it possible, like high speed communication, local large language models, and permaculture. Huge percentage of food in Russia is already produced on small family plots. It is actually the only good outcome available that makes sense with the geophysical constraints on energy.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml Carbon footprint is just like a globalist metric that has no bearing on the survivability of the majority of people over the next 10 to 15 years. The main metric that actually matters is land distribution. And how what percentage of the population has access to agricultural land where they can grow enough food to sustain themselves and their families. In China that number is 55%, which is very good. In Russia it's 30%, but unfortunately it's falling. It's going in the wrong direction. Whereas in the West it's 1 to 5 percent It's quite possible many will perish the majority

@yogthos@lemmy.ml There was absolutely no difference in the technocratic Soviet Union either. It was all based on energy economy and once the Soviet Union peaked everything went downhill and it crashed. And you know, my grandfather built those computers and my grandmother programmed them and my mother programmed them. The ones in the Soviet Union that managed the five-year plan. Obviously on a team of people, we weren't the only ones. So, you know, I have vested interest in it having worked, but the energy is what matters and it's distributism that saves the day. China is more distributed than almost any other modern nation. I think India probably is one of the few that has more land distribution. And basically the more land distribution the higher the survival chances once the fossil fuels go away. In the West it's looking since only 1 to 3% of people only land that they can grow food on maybe only 5% will survive.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml It's worth noting that China's electricity is 29% of their energy consumption and that renewables make 33% of that. And so overall, China is about 9 to 10% renewables. Which is a higher percentage than most of the world, but still after fossil fuels that's a 10x decline in energy consumption. Whereas most of the world is closer to 20x decline.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml the point is not whether it is justified, the point is that it is not capitalism. It is maximum power principle.
That any organism will try to maximize its energy usage in any ecosystem like deer will eat all the forest if given the chance. It's the same thing with humans. If someone lowers their fossil fuel consumption in one area, another area will make it go up until we run out. But we've been on a plateau for years and it's starting to decline and we should see global decline by 2030. And the 2030s are going to be the interesting times of the Chinese proverb.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml @fantasyocean@lemmy.dbzer0.com well it's actually China that is using by far the most fossil fuels in the world. US has the largest AI build-out, China is second place. And don't insult the Chinese by calling them capitalist please.

@rain_lover@lemmy.ml @kamenlady@lemmy.world well I find that with codex I have the code implemented before anyone can complain about anything. I mean you ask and a few minutes later it's done. Yeah more complicated stuff may take a bit longer, but most requests are simple.

@kamenlady@lemmy.world @rain_lover@lemmy.ml well you could use Codex, then you would be even faster than your boss.

@rain_lover@lemmy.ml why don't you like it?
