Doomberg: "Our Fragile Energy Economy" | The Great Simplific

Post Reply New Topic

I just finished this discussion and it has a lot of good stuff in it. It's centered around global energy, economics, globalism, but focused in particular on sustainability. Nate Hagens channel has the theme 'Bend Not Break', with his belief that our global ratio is going to get ratioed in the next ten years. I hadn't heard of Doomberg before but he actually seems like a Samo Burja caliber intellect, and from what I understand he's a particular member of a think tank or analysis company who gets their company's information out there anonymously as a green chicken.

One of the things Doomberg was suggesting is that he (they) strongly believe that there will be a debt jubilee within the next day and that, at least in their analysis of the US, there will be hyperinflation as part of that. He was also arguing that if the raw materials for EV batteries became a constraint that it would be much better for the environment to make a ton of hybrids (smaller battery with something like 40-50 mile range for the EV portion) because if you could make 30 hybrids with the amount of lithium that it takes for one full EV you're looking at 95% of the energy expended by 30 vehicles rather than 100% for one vehicle. I love hearing about that sort of thing (as well as a recent discussion somewhere on capturing freshwater from oceans directly at scale - I could get into that later) because it's the arcane network and scaling effects that tend to batter our intuitions as human beings and it's a zone that I think we really have to dial in on more as well as even harness AI to help us find optimum design solutions for problems that we didn't even know we could resolve and without necessarily expensive technology.
