The century of technological stagnation

Perhaps 3 years ago I bough an air fryer, the first new kitchen gadget I had bought in about 30 years. Although to be fair, about 10 years ago I bought a second hand thing for chopping nuts. Yes, I have bought replacements, and for example the replacement tumble drier was a condenser one rather than an air vent.

60 years ago there were no computers, no tumble driers, no double glazing, fitted carpets were rare. 40 years ago the first home computers were being used. Things were rapidly changing. But, by around 2000, almost everything we have now was already available. Laptops, electronic watches, tumble driers, flat screen TVs. Duvets. After a century of innovation, we started to see stagnation.

About the only significant change has been electric cars, a technology so unpopular that they can only get a few idiots to buy it using non-stop advertising. Advertising that will eventually have to end, because there are not enough fools to buy many more.

That is the difference. Last century was technology change driven by consumer demand. This century almost the only change is driven by lobbyists twisting the arm of government to force the more stupid parts of society to buy it.

And, that is now the defining feature of “new technology”. It is not technology change that the consumer wants, but change being forced on people by lobbyists trying to create a market for a product no one wants. It is “innovation” we could have done a century ago (there have always been electric cars), but it wasn’t done because the consumer did not want it.

That is because technology is now stagnating.

The only exception to that rule is within the computer screen. But, that is because computers are still relatively new. Rapidly, all that can be done will be done, and soon people will run out of new things worth doing on a computer and that too will stagnate.

Soon, the pretence of “upgrading” micro$oft will become obvious to most people, when their machine “slows down” and “requires” an “upgrade” which provides exactly the same facilities, just less the Micro$oft created block on performance unless you pay them the bribe of getting a “new” operating system.

People will discover that they can keep the same performance by never upgrading with another operating system and Micro$oft will be no more.

The old business model of forcing the consumer to ditch their old devices by the lure of “something better” is going to disappear, because there will be nothing better to offer. The only business model that will work, is repair, maintenance and replacement. More and more, consumers will want devices with long life and that can be repaired.

Patents

The problem with a patent, is that it only protects and invention for 25 years. That was perfectly good in the century of innovation, when 25 years later the technology was likely redundant. But, in the century of stagnation, anything new that does come along, is going to be the newest technology for a very long time. Which means it will pay to spend money on R&D, because innovation will be much rarer, but that also means those innovating will expect to get longer to recoup their costs.

Also, it will be increasingly difficult for anyone but the market integrated manufacturer to make money through innovation. Because the changes will be smaller and the distinction between “good” and “bad” innovation will require a detailed knowledge of the market. If you are not a manufacturer with close contact to customers, you are going to be left behind.

Complexity

The rule of innovation is that simple technology change wanted by the consumer comes first, followed by more and more complex technology wanted by the consumer, and finally technology change that the consumer does not want, but which is forced on them.

The low hanging fruit having already been picked, the main changes we will see this century are more complexity (both device complexity and complexity of devices tailored for very specific niche markets) and technology the consumer does not want (such as electric cars and more and more surveillance).

Why is technology stagnating?

The simple fact is all recent technology change is a result of the discovery and use of electricity. Once you have electricity you get cookers, microwaves, radios, telephone, TV computers, but once you have found all the simple uses for electricity, the only new uses are more complex uses. After a century of finding more and more complex uses, only in areas like gaming, is there still substantial room to explore even more complex uses. In most areas, the stimulus of innovation from the discovery of electricity has come to an end.

End of age of deference

There’s a rather good discussion between Neil Oliver, Dr John Campbell and Tim Kelly discussing how they became sceptics and what that has meant for them.

There were two interesting questions at the end:

What is the way we should go into the future?
How is the future actually going to pan out? Continue reading

What would Jesus do?

Jesus was a Palestinian with a religion combining ancient Egyptian (Judaism) and Greek, with undoubtedly a few Italian inspired ideas. It is hard to say, but given his own people turned to Islam, Jesus may actually have preferred Islam to “Judaism”. That is because modern judaism is no more ancient than Christianity or Islam. Modern Judaism is just another “modern” religion invented out of “temple-judaism” that existed around the time of Jesus. All three “modern” religions rejected “temple-judaism” which was more like Ancient Egyptian religion than modern Judaism.

Also like Christianity modern Judaism is based on Greek ideas like the Synagogue – a Greek word for gathering. In other words the idea of a “congregation” was a synagogue and that was a dramatic departure from real temple-judaism which was based on worshipping the one temple.

And I don’t see a lot of commonality with his own religious teachings and hierarchical “Christian religion” … although the same criticism probably holds of both modern Islam and Judaism.

I think Jesus would take a look at the religions claiming all to be the modern version of his own (Greek ideas adapting temple-judaism) and reject the lot of them. But also he would see them each as somehow improving on the temple-judaism of his time. He’d probably have a religious affiliation like the Beetles … rejecting all conventional established “religions” and seeking something better.

The real nature of global warming & Ukraine

The US has attacked any country that decided to stop using the dollar for international trade. The Chinese and Russians have been supporting the global warming crap as a way of attacking the west. USaid was pouring funds into extremist regimes and as a way to attack Russia and China and the US have been at war with something like 100 countries since WWII.

The US supports Israel which is deliberately murdering children and committing genocide and ethnic cleansing and that is all supported by Trump. The US is attacking Cuba … for not bowing and scraping to the US. Russia supports countries attacked by Israel and many freedom fighters against corrupt regimes kept in power by US corpse money.

Of course global warming is part of the attack on the west, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t justified.

I have never heard about such a blatant deliberate miscarriage of justice by any court

Reiner Fuellmich was the face of the Corona Investigation Committee. People donated to this committee and therefore as there was no legal body created to handle the funds, they donated to Reiner Fullmich as a caretaker for the money … there being no legal entity to receive the money.

Reiner took a loan … which is understandable as anyone working to opposing the hefty totalitarianism paid a heavy personal cost and needed all the help they could get, and anyone contributing to the committee would have seen financially helping Reiner to keep going was legitimate, especially if it was simply a loan. Then Reiner decided that he wanted the legal entity to exclude two people who had been initially involved but then stopped their involvement. As such he wanted to pay the money, not to a body that didn’t exist with the original, but to a newly constituted body without the two. NOTHING AT ALL UNTOWARD.

Then the politicised courts start attacking Reiner. To give an idea of the incredible nastiness and vindictiveness, the court deliberately extended the trial, rejected all defence evidence (probably never even reading any) and then added the time the judges extended the trial onto Reiner’s “sentence”.

BOGUS NAZI JUDGES !!

BLATANTLY POLITICISED TRIAL!!

BLATANT VINDICTIVE not MISCARRIAGE BUT ANTI-JUSTICE.

Will Russia win

The real global war is about money and who controls global trade, and therefore siphons off an unearned “cut” from all global trade.

Till recently, that was the western bankers (who are not aligned with the west, but merely reside here).

The trade was built on three things:

  1. An efficient financial/banking system which means minimum profits … which was true a long time ago
  2. Trust in that system, which takes decades if not centuries to establish
  3. Habitual use.

After the west stole the Russian money, trust in the western “system” has been taken away. New technology has vastly reduced the costs of financial transactions, but the parasitic financiers still keep taking the same massive cut from every transaction.

So, the only thing keeping the current financial system afloat is “habitual use”. In other words, it is in free fall to collapse … where “free” is how fast habitual usage dies away and other institutions and systems arise to take its place.

The world has changed. The west is now just one of many and others, with far more efficient economies and more innovation and rapidly overtaking the west. They will in future be driving the financial systems and either western finaciers will collapse, or they will rapidly change seeing a sea change in profitability. The old days where everyone in the city of London drove a very expensive car are gone. That kind if money is never going to be around again.

In contrast, there will be a new class of wealthy people, far fewer than the city of London, but wealthy none-the-less, and they will be in the Brics financial centres. And, Russia will have won.

Ukraine was not the battle …. but the coke smoking leaders were clueless.

A look into the future

The image of three idiots on a train trying to hide their cocaine, really sums up the moronic nature of the modern west. Rich people out of touch with anything. That they were not all immediately forced to resign, also says a lot about the media, which is just a means to keep the same people in control, as those parasites destroy their hosts.

It is not just the climate scam that is coming to an end, but the power and privilege of the scum who have been ruling the west. Because whilst their corruption was tolerated so long as the “trickle down effect” left the population wealthy, that wealth is coming to an end, and with it the tolerance for the nasty politicians who have been abusing us.

Cuba

I was looking at how Cuba is being attacked, for its history of daring to stand up to the western parasites that rule the US. And, it started in an age, when the alternatives against each other were “people’s government” vs. the “bankers” (falsely “communism vs. capitalism”)

But, now the world is creating a new alternative banking system under BRICS.

The old parasite class that continues the totally evil attacks on Cuba, is now fighting a very new foe. One that is not “communist” but instead creating an alternative “capitalist” system to replace the parasitic capitalism. It is fire fighting fire, and the new capitalist system on the block is going to totally wipe the floor with the old one. Because the old one was just a very fat parasite on its western hosts as well as the rest of the globe.

That new capitalist system will totally change the dynamics of the globe. In 50 years time, the EU (which will suffer from being the EU as well as the new capitalist system) will probably look as impoverished as Cuba is now, whereas some countries that in the 20th century were deemed the “third world” will likely be very wealthy.

The US

It will be a very new world with the US seeing its position relegated substantially. Indeed, if it carries on its current behaviour of attempting to meddle in every other country globally and corrupt the governments to the will of the US rather than their own people, I can see the US being non-stop attacked for the next century until it is a feint shadow of its former self.

The US is going to find it harder than any other country to adapt to the new world, because it has nothing to gain (the US is basically a parasite of the rest of the world, sucking up wealth, and that is going to come to an end). And, it doesn’t have a culture that tolerates defeat … which is what is happening.

The UK

Power in the UK is going to shift dramatically away from London and the SE. That is not going to go down well with those who used to have power. But, there isn’t a lot they can do about it but move.

That doesn’t mean the rest of the country will do well, but the relative decline compared to the rest of the world, may be slow enough and erratic enough, not to be a great cause of tension … unlike London and the SE.

The EU

The division lines in the EU will grow and grow. Whether it falls apart, or simply ceases to have much meaning as a body, doesn’t really matter, because the net effect will be the same. The EU was bad for business, and Europe’s future is not under the thumb of totalitarian Eurocrats.

Wars

Many wars, indeed perhaps all modern wars, have had US involvement egging them on. The US’ power to do that, and the willingness of the rest of the world to tolerate that behaviour by the US is coming to an end.

But, just because the US was stirring the pot, doesn’t mean the conflicts would not eventually have come to the boil. The US’ involvement was to steer the conflict towards its own (bankers) advantage.

So, if the US ceased to exist one day, yes the world would see a period of peace and stability that it hasn’t ever seen before, but eventually, strife is likely to return. But, perhaps not at the current level of genocidal regimes like Israel.

Israel

Is the neighbour that no one wants, and keeps pushing and shoving everyone else saying “and what are you going to do about it”. Eventually, one or all their neighbours will solve the problem by kicking them out of the middle east. And as we move toward the new future, nothing is helping the Israelis. I just cannot see any other future. They openly commit genocide and openly corrupt numerous western governments and have no moral scruples about doing anything. They just do not have a long term future where they are. But, to be blunt: not my problem. They made their own ant’s nest, and now they can sleep in it as long as they are able.

Yes they will get their corrupt stooges in the west to attempt to help, but mass immigration to depopulate the middle east didn’t have the intended effect and instead now severely limits the ability of their stooges to help Israelis commit more genocide.

Brics at war … strange?

India … strangely a war breaks out
Iran … strangely the US wants to go to war with them
China …. strangely the US wants to go to war with them
Russia … strangely the US is at war with with Ukraine
S.Africa … about to strangely be at war once the CIA manufacture the conflict.

Every country that dares to oppose the the US … strangely ends up in a war created by well funded groups creating mischief. Don’t tell me the US isn’t behind almost every modern war!

How to get peace in Ukraine?

There is an old Irish saying: “If I wanted to get there, I wouldn’t start from here”. So it is with the Ukraine conflict. The west has completely botched up. Russia will never trust the west again, so is is seriously doubtful any “deal” is possible, because a deal requires trust in the other side, and the EU and US do not deserve any trust at all.

Putting it simply, if you say “Nato not one inch further west” and then deliberately undermine regimes to push the Nato expansion up to the border of Russia, you are not in any sense worth trusting at all.

I do not believe a “deal” is possible. Instead, Russia will continue with the conflict until it imposes on Ukraine a peace that it can police, one that doesn’t require any co-operation or reliance on the EU to do anything … except not to go to war.

Moreover, the scale of lies in the western media is such as to make it impossible for Russia to agree to anything without first demonstrating the lies were lies. Which, means achieving something so concrete that no lie is big enough to hide it. The success of Russia does not require the acquiescence of the lying western media, they just cannot help reporting Russia’s success.

As such, the quickest route to peace is the collapse of all western support for Ukraine … which is going to happen sooner or later, just later means a lot more deaths.

The Plan

Back when Google and their ilk, made it very difficult to campaign against the green insanity, I realised that if you cannot stop the madness, the second best thing was to have as much of the madness as possible all in one go. So, I stopped campaigning. Which given my online presence, was a sizeable proportion of the spearhead, and so the green goblins, thought they had won.

Now, I have not seen a positive thing said about the Green crap for months and so we have Reform who are strongly against it and now looking like it may well become the next government.

It seems to have worked!

Indeed, even the green nutters seem to be hating green, such is their loathing of the green crap in reality.
