Thanks for doing the calculations. Yes, the system resets in some way. Preferably not by a big sword fight in the case of monetary reset after hyperinflation.

In London I should be able to buy 1 x camembert cheese with a couple of what were great and glorious pommy pounds. That's hyoerinflation just in my adulthood.

I remember a proper English gentleman requesting 1 pound of something. I forget whether it was pounds weight or pounds money.

They were in trouble when a pound of bananas was the same thing by weight or price and now Julian Assange has asylum in the Ecuador embassy in London. And Sadiq Jihad Khan is the boss of London. Talk about banana republic and they can't grow bananas.

Talk about resets!!!

In 1066 there was such a reset. This time the resets have been quietly done. Softly softly catchee monkey.

When I was born the British Empire had not gone into hyperdeflation but the process was well underway after WWII. London is looking quite third world in many places. For example Peckham from where my orphaned grandfather and siblings were shipped off to NZ about the time of the Franco Prussian war, not long after the Crimean war during which a great grandfather was injured and died and not long before another grandfather was involved in the Boxer battles in China.

Resets galore. Never the same but never particularly different.

I have just realized I might live long enough to see the end of another great and glorious empire = the American which is really just the British Empire since so many migrated there and continue to do so.

When young I didn't realize how fast history happens. Daily nothing seems to happen but then there's a reset.

Hmmmm....

Note to self = get prepping.

Unfortunately when humans hit the cusp and mathematical processes reverse, prepping is problematic. Or are we entering The Golden Age? As per Scott Adams' ideas.

Human popularion is already reversed in Japan and soon to be in China. India is not doubling every couple of decades now. Euroserfs dwindle apace. Rose is aging. Mq too. ElM has done his dash. It's all quite cuspy.

Thanks for helping out with the maths.

History happens. Paradigm shift happens.

Cuspy.

Mqurice

PS speaking of cusps, Google had a name for it = cusp catastrophe

Maybe you could tell us what happens next.

It's not just cusp. There are also parabolic hyperbolic elliptic butterfly swallowtail and a couple of others. Mathematical fun in the human monkey cage. mathworld.wolfram.com

I did those numbers at 5am (long story) so they are

worth double checking. Not the bit about the Mersenne primes etc. (those are right) but the bit about the grains of rice per pound etc. Simple divisions and multiplications. Or I will double check them later.
