@interfluidity @danjac So yeah, that's pretty much right.
Bear with me, I'm trying to simplify this as much as possible without going so far as to just wave me hands and say #TimeyWimey and I'm also trying to be quick about it so this isn't 100% accurate but...
The Theory of General Relativity describes gravity, and how it distorts the shape of spacetime. Gravity makes objects with mass attract each other by distorting the space around them, and in the same way it also distorts the flow of time. So time moves more slowly within a strong gravitational field than in a weak one.
You ever see the movie 'Interstellar', where they visit the planet close to a black hole and when they come back the guy who stayed behind is suddenly really old? It's exactly that, only much less extreme.
The theory of Special Relativity describes another way time is distorted - as you move faster, your local time slows down (and also your shape changes and your mass increases), so that probably also affects the rate of time on the Moon compared to Earth. I didn't bother clicking the article to see if they reference that at all, though, so my apologies for being lazy!

You get a different answer asking the Thiels, Yarvins or Haldemans. #TechnocracyInc is now a world power (with nukes).

I'm a little behind on reading @interfluidity and I just bumped into this remarkable prose.
Yes, this is what it's about, the #broligarchy and the #christofacists be damned.

Compare "Cocytarchy" with kakistocracy.
from #Kulak https://anarchonomicon.substack.com/p/cocytarchy
ht Thom A & @SteveRoth
hierarchy (lowerarchy?) as a pit rather than a pyramid certainly is evocative.
putting aside the grander comparisons (the army and civil service stuff seems a stretch), if you take the description of prison gangs seriously, reforming prisons to become smaller, to form communities governable and governed in a more civilized way, should be a first-order tough-on-crime priority!

The best thing you’ll read about the great $140,000 poverty debate, and the fallaciousness of reasoning endemic to the kind of people who get off on calling out other people’s fallacies. by #DanDavies https://backofmind.substack.com/p/ways-of-vibing

On BlueSky, #DanDavies asked
"ok then if we have a vibrant and intelligent EconSky community riddle me this: what would the microfoundations be for 'voters dislike inflation much more than they dislike unemployment, even in a rising real wage environment with strong asset values'? what preferences would make that true?"
I posted the following thread in response. https://bsky.app/profile/dsquareddigest.bsky.social/post/3lar3zczumc27

“we’ve taken on a model of argument in which data, regressions and modelling…are the standard of proof. And because of this, we’ve closed off all possible explanations…except those for which usable datasets can be found.” #DanDavies https://open.substack.com/pub/backofmind/p/me-versus-the-scatterplots

Perhaps the “Great Awokening” is ending after all, just not in the way anti-woke reactionaries like #RonDeSantis and #ChrisRufo had hoped.
It has not, historically, been right-wing traditionalists who have owned a “mind your own damned business” ethos. Au contraire. It looks like the not-right-wing-traditionalists are taking it back now.
Maybe we're also taking back incautious expression, telling it like we see it, chips fall where they may.

“When Boeing and McDonnell Douglas sought to merge in 1996, the Clinton White House pushed for the approval of what was a clearly anti-competitive merger apparently based on the belief that the United States needed a company large enough to compete effectively with Europe’s Airbus. At the risk of stating the obvious, Boeing has not benefited from those indulgences.” #TimWu https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/13/opinion/google-antitrust-remedy.html

#MattKlein makes an interesting point. Spending seems to be growing at a rapid clip, but stuff like the interest we don't receive on our checking account banks earn more than 5% risk-free is imputed as "spending", as if we pay a bank fee. Much of the spending growth seems to be in these kinds of imputed categories, which may be less inflationary than other kinds of "spending". https://theovershoot.co/p/is-consumer-spending-slowing

"The paradox of freedom, Florida style, is that it’s really an assertion of control. *People like us should be free to do what we want, and free to stop other people from doing what they want when we don’t approve.* That’s why it would be deeply unfair to call Ron DeSantis a petty tyrant. If he is a tyrant, he is an expansive one." #HelenLewis https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/05/ron-desantis-florida-state-politics-gop/673489/
