closer, but not quite it…

here’s the official announcement, 1996. but they joined an adjacent club in 1992…

there it is - the EMEAP, founded 1991, china joined in 1992.

1991… is when the wall (allegedly) came down…

30 years of EMEAP history here

oh that's a new one - yesterday, i had two paid sub cancellations... both of which come back to the same email address.

the annualised revenue declined as a result... by $207... which is mathematically impossible, as the only options are $80/yr, or $8/month ie $96. incidentally, this was one of the latter... i mean, none of this makes any sense whatsoever, even accounting for slight currency differences.

... right... attempting to import the escapekey substack content on ghost... i still hate the URL, so might change it or re-register.

it does appear to have worked.

… ok… so $80/month for up to 7.5k members… that’s nearly $1k/yr.

yeah, no. i’m not paying that. self-hosting or own website i guess it is.

Ahah I have Opus write me the source code for spaceship earth which enables… well… hell.

lol

almost ready to actually run it.

the maths should essentially be there.

ahaha it just integrated me an EU Digital Product Passport simulator component

right, there are a lot of BIS IH projects, might as well get started integrating them. oh wait, no, that's what Opus is here to do!

whee! i like pretty numbers!

haha running a few simulations, and Opus has finally worked out what should be bloody obvious to anyone paying attention

haha Opus pulling no punches after a few more iterations

might turn this into a game, or an educational toy.

right, let's try a 10,000 monte carlo run to see if 'net zero' can be achieved by 2050.

aaaand not one scenario delivered it.

right... next run is to determine what 'success at any cost' looks like

engaging genetic algorithms, monte carlo runs, and a 'success at any cost' attitude and... it's found solutions already!

oh the early results are in already

ok that was the headline... next test is to find the planets logical human carrying capacity, in perpetual balance with nature - and the costs to humanity beyond just population
