  I see that the available land area is shrinking at an increasing pace. Pretty sure water resources are dwindling similarly too. I see zero reasons to so much as congratulate pregnancies these days. The gains, which are codified in laws in the form of rights, to me, look basically like promises made by lawmakers to their citizens. Lawmakers are people too. And people keep their promises on a best effort basis. With dwindling resources, I see the ability of lawmakers to uphold rights shrink and dwindle too.

  Like I said at the start, verboten, and I’m fine being alone on this. Though would be good to have company.

  💯 I used AI as a placeholder for any tools or methodologies we might use

  Australia alone cannot repeal those laws and expect to make a scratch if that. I was referring to every government across every jurisdiction all over the planet. I doubt that low birthrate would be seen as being so painful when businesses are not required to keep delivering growing profits every quarter.

  No civilization ever studied is known to have survived its own localised climate catastrophe or some other catastrophe. Every one of them either perished or, accepted the limitations imposed by land, air, water and lived within those limits. We might want to look inside ourselves for refusing to accept this.

  I can think of two things that are utterly verboten yet will force us to do some soul searching.

  One is to repeal every law across the board that requires businesses to keep delivering growing profits. Those laws have done their job splendidly and are causing harm as their expiry date goes farther into the past.

  Two is, repeal every law across the board that requires parental leave, daycare rebates and such other things. You just cannot continue to congratulate those who bring infants into this gas chamber of a planet.

  What laws to have instead of these two? What to do with our own lives after repealing these two laws? I don’t know. I’m merely hoping that the collective intelligence of 8 billion aided by AI and whatnot will see a way forward after these roadblocks are removed.

  Addictive tobacco has reinvented itself. Vaping, gummies, and probably more.

  Given what happened on the stock market, looks like this is a step towards bracing for the impact that recession might bring. Not that everyone would line up at the shops in the CBD recession or not as it feels like one anyway. Just a cop out to say that we tried by bringing your potential customers in your vicinity. What fun times to look forward to.

  Around the same time just have a think did a deeper dive on the idea www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcSnwW5v3f8 . In the spirit of protecting the environment, it would be good to accommodate birds, wildlife etc in the thought process.

  Like you said, looks like a combination of resources, financing, political will and, the technology itself seem to have come together to bring us here.

  True, I think the building is 5 or 6 stories tall. Not ABC, across the street from it.

  I see businesses like www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s2b4US1Xdk every now and then. The fact that not one of them has taken off yet should have told me volumes.

  Thanks for the detailed response.

  Does anyone know anything about vertical axis wind turbines? I see a lonely VAWT on the rooftop of the building across the street from ABC on Harris Street Ultimo. Could neatly complement rooftop solar panels.
