@bradd_libby Just ordered. Cant wait to read. My expectations that this book could be the basis of the tech tree of an awesome strategic game like age of empires.
@JessePeltan This assumes that in the future the same ratio will hold. By electrifying everything this ratio should go up by 4 fold. Not to mention the impact of ai.
@tonyseba@jamiearbib 2) continued. Are there structural materials to replace those or is there a path to create such?
3) financing of the build-out could be done by stellar bonds?
4) why a growing stellar community will not outcompete a non-growing one?
@tonyseba@jamiearbib Just finished the book. Few things are still missing or not discussed in details.
1) stellar system would require less material input. Is this due to material durability/ recycling?
2) most of the material flow globally is for infrastructure purposes (grave, sand, clay, cement).
