Space Volumes, Plots & Values


I don't think Mr. Musk will be building data centres in space. His tenants will be.

Watch out for what happens with the advent of 'space volumes, plots and values'.

Much like land area, land plots and land values on the earth, space volumes, plots and values will eventually come into positive demand. 

And there's a limited supply of valuable space plots. That is, there's a limit to the best plots which everyone wants most.

If Mr. Musk's space enterprise grows at the rate he promises, supply of these space plots will run out quickly.

So how does Mr Musk - nay, the market, determine which are the most valuable plots? 

When something is valued highly yet is in limited supply, what happens to its price? It must rise.

So Mr. Musk and/or the market will decide based on the annual rental value of the plots of space volume - by how much rent that can be charged for their exclusive use.

The economic rent.

There is nothing in the least bit new about this development of political economy. The economic use of space and the distribution of the wealth that can be made there is no innovation. 

When it comes to the economic rents and who gets them, nature commands, in space just as she does on the earth. Everything will play out identically as testified to by history.

For all wise investors out there, this is how you learn how to remember the future.

I don't think Mr. Musk will be building data centres in space. His tenants will be.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

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.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) 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 Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
