Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a mandman or an economist.

The SCARIEST chart in AI
Visualizing the exponential.

This data-driven look at compute-to-intelligence ratios suggests we are entering a phase of self-improving code that exceeds all previous human projections for 2030.

I came across this chapter by M. King Hubbert on "Exponential Growth as a Transient Phenomenon in Human History" written in 1976. It lays out clearly how non-renewable resources will run out and human society will go back to a steady state situation. The question is whether it will crash first or level off by transitioning to renewable energy.

The only quibble I have with the article is they he mentions money as something that can grow exponentially for ever. Money can decouple temporarily from the physical world, but for it to be useful there needs to be some coupling. So monetary and economic growth will also end.

Kurze Erinnerung:

Exponentielles Wachstum:
Die Veränderung beschleunigt sich ständig – die Kurve wird immer steiler.

Logistisches Wachstum:
Zuerst Beschleunigung (fast exponentiell), dann Abflachung durch Grenzen → S-Kurve.

Viele Technologien wirken anfangs exponentiell, folgen langfristig aber tatsächlich einer logistischen Diffusionskurve.

Capitalism has a Math Problem: How Wealth Growth Devours the Middle Class

Anand Giridharadas reveals how the “Epstein class” protected power and privilege across parties while victims waited for justice.

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it... he who doesn’t... pays it."
