Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Given the longstanding nature of the decline in per capita energy use in the developed economies against the rise of Asia, I don't think it will be possible to reverse this trend completely and "Make America Great Again." Though I do think it would be possible to at least slow the trend. What happe...

I might expect that those include the likes of, what, AI? What else? FINK: Well, the c...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

I haven't given my take on Boeing except to say that in the early 2000s there was a contingent of engineers within Boeing who believed management was leading the company down the tubes and one in particular who may have used that experience as the seed to start a collapse blog after he retired. Beyo...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

One of the more interesting people who comes to mind is a retired Boeing engineer who was writing about collapse 15-20 years ago. I wonder if the seed that began to form his opinion was based on what he saw inside the company, the results of which are perhaps many years later being seen in the head...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

As a successful physics professor at a top institution in academia, Tom Murphy broke ranks in one of the hardest possible ways at the peak of his career. One reason this is so difficult, and it came to mind when writing this, is he knows he can only credibly discuss collapse in physics terms to cer...
