In part 4, we saw that we could not believe any prediction of the life expectancy of a non-renewable resource until you have confirmed the prediction by repeating the calculation. Using the alleged and often repeated number that the US coal reserves are sufficient to last for 500 years, Professor Bartlet exposes the fallacy of “sustainable growth”... Click Here to Continue Reading

This Boltzmann’s import-export-import-export; entropy-syntropy entropy syntropy, cosmically complementary, human-heart-like, eternally pulsative, evolutionary regeneration system, also locally manifests itself in the terrestrial biosphere as the ever alternatively, omni-inter-pulsing, barometric highs and lows of the weather. As an instance... Click Here to Continue Reading

A distinction between growth, development, and evolution. At this point in our series tearing to pieces the fallacy of sustainable growth, it becomes important to distinguish between growth, development, and evolution. Evolution involves a process of directional (but non-directed) change that leads from states closer to thermodynamic and chemical... Click Here to Continue Reading

“I don’t believe that the exponential argument is valid at the local level.” Really!? Arithmetic doesn’t hold at the local level and is dependent on the beliefs of “some” politician. Let us review what we learned in part three: Growth control is very controversial. The problem is that controlled growth just... Click Here to Continue Reading

In Chapter One of Critical Path: Speculative Prehistory Of Humanity, Buckminster Fuller states that because water is essential to all the biological organisms’ ecological systems of regeneration on our planet, the following 4 major facts about water are vitally important: (Please note that number two has been disproved since the book was written)... Click Here to Continue Reading

This is part three of a series that exposes the idiocy that sustainable growth is the future of humanity. See the video at the bottom of the article. Part two was about the use of semi log scaled paper where a straight line represents steady growth. Projections of future prices were made using a steady rate of inflation… We saw that in 1986,... Click Here to Continue Reading

This is part two of a series that tears to shreds the absurdity that sustainable growth and compounded interest are the future of humanity. See the video at the bottom of the article. In Part One we learned that some human problems are tied to the exponential function which people mostly do not understand in spite of its simplicity. The exponential... Click Here to Continue Reading

Sustainable Growth is a world class oxymoron. A “Sustainable Growth” is an insult to the intelligence of those that possess this rare quality. An impossible theorem. This is the first part of a 50 days long, tearing to shreds of the absurdity that sustainable growth is the future of humanity, series on TheTrimTab. We start with a conversation... Click Here to Continue Reading

1. Cosmic: forming a part of the material universe, esp. outside of the earth. 2. Evolution: A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form 3. Irrevocably: Impossible to retract or revoke: an irrevocable decision. 4. Intent: the act or fact of intending: as a : the design or purpose to... Click Here to Continue Reading

Let’s put some numbers together: If Peter from GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations ) is correct, a 200 miles square collects sufficient solar energy to power ALL human activity. Let’s assume that: 1-    Distribution is not a problem. (either the grid does it, or better, the equipment is locally installed…... Click Here to Continue Reading
