Economic Land in Space

economic land in space

I'm going to tell you about how land on the earth, is identical economically, to land in space.

Each kind commands a rental value for identical reasons.

Likewise both equally command a selling price - by capitalising the rental value. Curiously making something that's impossible to sell, sellable.

These factors definitely persist as we move out to explore and colonise space.

All the great social problems will follow us into space if we do not solve the same root causes on the earth. Because of this single foundation.

Yes, if we solve this biggest of all economic mistakes, there will still be other problems of course. But now with the biggest one attended to, the rest will now be that much each to resolve.

Why wouldn't they be? Space is not infinite economically. It is only 'unbounded'. That is to say, there are still limits, economically, in space.

The foundational limit is that valuable land is limited in quantity. Even in space. Look at it directly in front of your face - how much would you pay for a thousand cubic miles worth of space land out there in the Oort Cloud, compared to that in orbit around the earth?

Sure, as we succeed in colonisation the margin will soon move out from orbit to the lower quality unbounded space land. Thus reinforcing my point that much more intensely. As production of wealth booms, all the gains will go into the rental value of land on these new margins.

So if you truly want to be wealthy and secure your 'household' for your descendants, you must get land. On the earth or in space it matters little. Wherever is the most valuable plot you can afford - get land!

Even the most intelligent and wealthiest people on earth do not understand this yet. You are way ahead of them just by reading this.

But should those we select as leaders wait until the colonies have formed in space before it is placed under proper scrutiny?

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
