By the Arrow Theorem, there does not exist a perfect electoral system.
If there are more than 2 candidates then different election systems can give different results,
and 3rd-party candidates can have an undue influence over the election. Or, a candidate could have the
most votes in a 3-way election but not have a majority. This is how Jesse The Body Ventura became governor of Minnesota and how Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California.
The best way to mitigate this is a system of "Devil take the hindmost".
For example, start with 16 candidates and then trim it to 8, then 6, then 4, 3, 2, 1.
You have to go through stages of trimming or you could get ridiculous results.
Libertarians should formally join the Republican party and enter the Republican primary, as did Trump.

All we got is slaves, cotton and arrogance.
Civil War 1 was decided before it began. The North had 71% of the railroad miles, 90% of the manufacturing,
and 97% of military production. Lincoln nationalized the railroads and telegraphs and had total command over transport and communications. The South failed to harness their rail and telegraphs.
Civil War 2 is different. It's not a slavery war. It's an Atlas war. Rural vs. Cities. Conservative vs. Leftist.
And it's decided before it begins. Republican cities and states are decisively economically stronger than Democrat cities and states. See the plots. Republican states tax less, have lower debt, have a lower murder rate, and are attracting moving vans.
If Civil War 2 breaks out, this is how it games out. https://www.jaymaron.com/civilwar.html
It will be a boycott war, rural vs. cities.
Rurals will win.

From the Wikipedia page on Athenian democracy,
During an Athenian election, approximately one hundred officials out of a thousand were elected rather than chosen by lot. There were two main categories in this group: those required to handle large sums of money, and the 10 generals, the strategoi. One reason that financial officials were elected was that any money embezzled could be recovered from their estates; election in general strongly favoured the rich, but in this case, wealth was virtually a prerequisite.
Generals were elected not only because their role required expert knowledge, but also because they needed to be people with experience and contacts in the wider Greek world where wars were fought.

Weaponize soy for the trade war.
USA dominates world soy production, with 117 Bkg of soy/year compared to 330 Bkg/year for the world.
China imports 86 Bkg/year.
Soy is the ultimate feedstock, being high in protein.

What did you learn from the first "presidential" debates?
jaymaron comments on Oct 13, 2020:
We need a raucous crowd to give it the energy of a sports event.
Let each side bring a crowd of partisans and encourage them to make sound. Hear
Republicans laugh when Biden gaffs.
We want a superbowl, a debate between the mightiest members of each conference.
We want Newt Gingrich vs... can anyone think of a worthy Democrat?
Your argument is only as strong as the strongest Devil's advocate that you have defeated
in fair debate.
American politics used to be more civilized. The Lincoln-Douglas debates didn't
have a moderator, and both candidates rode the same train.
The Lincoln-Douglas debates featured proper rebuttal. Each side got 1.5 hours
to speak and each side got rebuttal time. Plus there were 9 debates, and
if you fib, the other candidate has plenty of chances to zap you for it.
The newspapers printed what each candidate said. Partisan newspapers tended to
polish the grammar of their candidate and leave the other candidate's words
raw, but they would still print the other candidate's words. Today, Democrat
media censors Republicans. That should be called out as a weakness.
On Fox, they show the opposition's statements and they rebut them.

In space, using iron from the moon, you can build a radio telescope of colossal size, and it would
be steerable, unlike the Chinese telescope. It would also be free of Earth radio noise.
Data from multiple radio telescopes can be assembled to increase resolution, and in space this works well
because the greater the distance between telescopes, the greater the resolution. We should build a
fleet of radio telescopes in space and turn them loose throughout the solar system. We should have a small
set of colossal radio telescopes and a large set of small telescopes.

After 3 terms, polls indicated that Kohl would easily win a 4th term. Kohl did something few politicians do. He retired and he didn't seek higher office. "The senate seat belongs to the people of Wisconsin".

Energy is wealth. The plot shows that GDP/capita is tightly correlated with power/capita.
Energy begets wealth via:
Energy -> Primary materials -> Manufactured goods -> Exports
To create wealth, maximize energy production and make it as cheap as possible.
Since energy is a public natural resource it's reasonable to regulate it. Ensure that the wealth gained from
it goes to the workers. Most countries fail in this regard.

profitable and people would want it built. A nuclear reactor is a cash cow
that can drive cities and industry.
Things that a fission reactor can do are:
Electricity generation
Heat for the chemical industry
Heat buildings with discard heat
Create valuable elements and isotopes by transmutation
The fission products contain precious metals such as rhodium and palladium.
The fission products contain isotopes that can be used for radioisotope
batteries, such as strontium-90 and caesium-137
Serve as a neutron source for scientific research
Neutralize radioactive waste with discard neutrons

I would want to be mobile, with a land yacht. There will be a culture of temporary villages, and the campground industry will expand.
The plot shows state migration and state debt. The states that are farthest from democrats are
Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. You also want a state without a "blue hole" (a large liberal city).

Fission reactors are capable of much more than what current reactors are doing, and if people realized this
they would demand them.
Current reactors use slow neutrons, which can only burn 10% of the fuel. New designs use fast neutrons which
burn all the fuel. The volume of nuclear waste is substantially less than the volume of solar photovoltaic waste.
Fission reactors work well with a methane source, because then they can produce hydrogen, the precursor to
much of the chemical industry.
Fission reactors can produce discard heat that can heat a city.
Fission reactors generate valuable elements in the fission products, such as rhodium and xenon.
Fission reactors can transmute elements and also create novel isotopes.
Neutrons can do many things, such as transmutation, and they shouldn't be wasted.

For near-term large-scale power, the only options are nuclear and biomass. Solar and wind are too expensive.

Nuclear physics is a mature technology and a nuclear thermal rocket can easily be designed entirely on a
computer. Baffling that we don't already have them.
The article states that the power/mass of a nuclear thermal rocket is 2 times that of a chemical rocket.
No way. It's much less. Furthermore, H has a lower power/mass than H2.

Being able to decelerate is important. In the world of sports, it's far more important to be able to decelerate under control than to accelerate.
For example, to execute a precise downbow, you need to first decelerate from the previous upbow.

It's also a big help that the ship is already out of the atmosphere when the rockets start.
The Stratolaunch aircraft launches rockets at 15 km altitude and .3 km/s.
One could design a Mach 5 ramjet to launch rockets, which moves at 1.5 km/s.

India and the origins of Zero - Firstpost
jaymaron comments on Jan 13, 2020:
The zero is a red herring. What matters is your power of calculation.
In 1585 Simon Stevin introduced the decimal number system, which enabled modern calculation.
He used it to calculate the frequencies for 12-tone equal tuning. In 1604 Galileo used it to establish the
equation for acceleration.
Logarithms followed shortly after in 1614. Decimal numbers were necessary for Kepler's analysis of
Brahe's data, published in 1608.
Then followed Cartesian geometry in 1637 and The Calculus in 1687.

Waterfall economics:
Primary energy -> Raw materials -> Manufactured goods --> Exports --> Wealth
There is a tight correlation between power/capita and gdp/capita.
The goal is to maximize primary energy and minimize its price.
If you're going to tax, tax efficiently. Tax only once. If there is a cycle of money, don't tax each stage of the cycle.
For example, tax the primary energy, and then the tax is reflected in prices down the waterfall.
Since primary energy is a natural resource, it's reasonable to regulate it. Ensure that the salaries are paid
with a good Gini coefficient. Make sure the lowest workers are well paid.
