This channel called Knowing Better keeps getting suggested to me by Youtube and I've avoided it because of the obnoxious name and because it's a talking head kind of channel. But today I caved and checked out what it was about, and there was a familiar, apparently socialist man in it talking about public housing. Still don't like the Knowing Better guy's format but that was kinda neat.

I would love to see how Musk fans react to it. Another thing I love: the video.

I like trains and other public transit but China still lets out twice as much CO2 into the atmosphere as the US.

What is next in the non-Franklin stuff again? I think I remember hearing Georgism, that'd be cool.

The moral of the story was don't build nuclear plants in places vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

I had a thought today: we need massive infrastructure building projects to mitigate climate change. But infrastructure means concrete, and concrete itself is a major source of CO2. It would not be practical to try to capture carbon from drying concrete in-situ. But suppose the carbon were captured at a central location? At a prefab concrete panel factory for instance??? Krushchyovkas for the 21st century baby

There are types of concrete that absorb carbon dioxide but obviously if you're a capitalist you'll just go for the cheapest alternative so irrelevant.

When you paste the link, the forums’ Javascript tries to turn it into an embedded video.

One way around this is type the URL tag first, then paste.

Thanks for linking to that guy, he's great to listen to. Flawlessly Italian-American and knowledgeable as hell. Mamma mia!

Here's a funny little one.

A Municipality in Denmark accidentally build a brand new shiny bridge of a small creek, connecting two fields for a local farmer.

Their computer system "Danbro" (Literally Danish Bridges) showed that they owned it.


They didn't, but the local farmer was very happy about his brand new shiny bridge, only cost about 100000 US$.


Turns out another municipality did something similar to a privately owned railroad bridge too.

Are there pictures of this bridge?

There's a book called Lenin Lives! about an alternative history where the German revolution succeeded.

It was inspired by MacLeod who wrote a favorable review of it http://kenmacleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/everybody-knows.html

I went ahead and read it. Seemed a little bit too pro Trotsky...

A bit, but to be fair he's a pretty minor figure in this timeline. Sure he's a celebrated general but that's what he was good at anyway.

And apart from that I think he just gets quoted once about the bolsheviks on the cusp of the revolution as an example of how they didn't consider a proletarian revolution completely inevitable.
