I think Jeff confirmed this at one point but I could be wrong. When he turned that down, Conde Nasty bought up Reddit instead lol. even in his grave, you could say he inadvertently also took down Reddit by letting CN buy them out instead the impending Reddit IPO is/was supposed to happen this year and it's gunna be such a shitshow, i can't wait  . once reddit dies, all search engines immediately lose 90% of their utility and google stock will crater too. the destruction of reddit is the domino that will hopefully lead to destruction of the internet, inshallah

Xaris posted:correct: Cheap oil is the modern equivalent of the divine right of kings to rule. That's a really good way of putting it! I hadn't thought of it that way before. It also explains why even the tiniest change to the American lifestyle to prevent human extinction is so fiercely resisted. Even things that are arguably improvements like 15 minute cities which are subject to wacky conspiracy theories.

though when energy reaches a point where working class american consumers can't afford it, the american ruling class won't be ousted, they'll just switch to using the energy to oppress and kill workers to stay in power, periphery style.

one thing I would add to Xaris's excellent post is that it has to be specifically fossil fuels, and not any other kind of energy source that we have since discovered and are capable of using, because fossil fuels can be moved around, can be concentrated, can be traded for, and otherwise is a fungible commodity coal-fired steam engines were chosen over water mills during the Industrial Revolution because you couldn't concentrate wealth with water mills, and you couldn't easily move your water wheels around to wherever laborers are most easily exploitable you're not going to see a movement to solar or hydro or even nuclear power, for the same reasons

You can't get as much power from water mills/flow as from super-concentrated stock, but iirc it's a lot more than you'd expect.
