@daveg Maybe you’ll find some interesting stuff in François Roddier’s work : https://t.co/0tXiaLEwGy could be a starter… Or a book of his : De la thermodynamique à l’économie (2018). Other pointers : https://t.co/6nIB8d0Mvd
@StefanoZorzi@daveg And for "starting with small things", you're missing the competition part : you need some form of conflict / co-operation / collaboration (see @swardley or https://t.co/xM1mlNxttP for details) to drive up quality, quantity and other dimensions.
Me : ... then you can say "we conflict with other universities over purchasing" which at least might give you pause for thought and question why you don't collaborate or co-operate?
Don't slip back into using "but we're in competition" and stick with "conflict" until ...
@StefanoZorzi@daveg I wouldn't be so sure about "cultural production" : we've done it for a long time and with great success without much economic specialization (think Aboriginal Art or Lascaux for example).
@daveg I remember reading (but where) you need multiple cities to get growth : one in isolation will give you nothing. Hence Italian cities (Florence, Milan, Pisa, Sienna, Genova) in XII - XV; American cities (New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Detroit) in XIX.
@JeremiEden @Francois_Ruffin@PopulusRe@Peter_Turchin especially when you discover that @FrancoisRuffin went to the same school as #Macron and is now at the opposite end in the french political spectrum : you can't have better "elite" and "counter-elite" in France right now...
@dr_c0d3@dianamontalion The books themselves are not dangerous off course… But there are lots and lots of them, covering a lot of concepts (andon, just-in-time, quality, jidoka, kaizen, to name just a few) : they could become a large part of your reading time 😂
@nico_dufrene J'ai découvert que vous animiez une conférence à Lille sur "la monnaie et la transition écologique"... Dommage que je ne puisse pas venir, mais peut-être trouverez vous ce projet de monnaie locale inter-entreprise intéressant => @mlml_fr
Énergie, finance, technologies, climat, influence cognitive, alimentation... la guerre en Ukraine est un point incandescent à partir duquel se forgent de nouvelles armes : les interdépendances.
Une étude signée @AgatheDemarais et @JulienNocetti – à lire.

@xporte Question au passage : lecteur et auditeur régulier de @longnow (et de @stewartbrand en particulier), j’ai été plutôt surpris de la définition du « longtermisme » dans cette émission, surtout sur le côté eugéniste. Je veux bien un lien pour éclaircir ma lanterne.
It's the second scenario: America first!
1. USA is already in crisis.
2. China emerged from its previous crisis more recently (1970s) and it should have a lot more resilience before pressures for instability build up.
But what is needed is a proper structural-dynamic analysis.
@ApresLaBiere@Peter_Turchin Un début de réponse se trouve dans cette vidéo : https://t.co/OxDJdP8TgI J’y décèle aussi un prochain ouvrage sur la question 🇺🇸
@LauPaSat_pl It took a bit more time than anticipated since youtube-dl (the tool I was relying on) seems to be on the way out. We did a "hot swap" to yt-dlp and now everything should be back to normal.
