billions of people hand farming the soil are now moving into much more productive roles and technology is exploding. ELMAT: Leave food production to the countries that can compete. Michel Petit asked a few questions using the Seneca Paradox: The Seneca Paradox: If Mineral Depletion is a Problem, How is it That we Don’t See its Effects? Here are my short answers to him Osvaldo Coelho As soon as we approach the limit, we do a step sideways and take a new direction. This happens as people look at it and see the benefit of taking the sideway step. Right now, we are witnessing that sideway step,It is called Virtualization. Osvaldo Coelho Before we used to have lots of equipment in our house to entertain us. Today we just one appliance connected to the Internet. A virtual machine (VM) is an operating system (OS) or application environment that is installed on software, which imitates dedicated hardware. The end user has the same experience on a virtual machine as they would have on dedicated hardware. Osvaldo Coelho Software does not consume energy. Does not have moving parts nos ocuppy physical space. Although datacenters that house the Cloud do, but in a more efficient manner. Osvaldo Coelho Another fact to consider: Population increment is not high nr. of babies being born. Is more people reaching old and older age.As they age , they consume less. Travel less and live in more frugal life as they have to conserve savings. Osvaldo Coelho Once we add more and more facts of modern world, we can see we are in that sideway trajectory and no longer on the previous direction. Osvaldo Coelho Consider the end of the Bronze Age. Their societies were so basic that they did not have the possibility to take a new direction as the base of their wealth started getting dearer and scarce. Once they reached the Bronze Superior they collapse and stayed collapsed for a couple of centuries. Until iron became the new material upon which new societies were born.

I like disinflation and deflation. Deflation means things get cheaper. That's great. Suggesting that central bankers or governments dilute money to "save" the country from deflation is a bad idea. It's just a tax by another name. Economists who think deflation is ipso facto bad do not understand how things work. Inventions make things work better with less effort aka money. If things work better with less effort that is a great thing and what people have worked at forever. It's not a bad thing requiring governments to dilute money to stop the price falling. People who used to work at doing something that's no longer necessary can get a job doing something actually useful. The deflation that's bad is when there's a government-forced economic collapse in which market clearing can't transfer assets and other property to new owners fast enough and prices are not allowed to change fast enough such as minimum wages to allow markets to clear quickly. Even if vehicles aren't totally self-driving but can do it 95% of the time, that will be a tremendous enhancement. Mqurice
