The fairy tale of peak oil
Dear Hiveans,
I hope you're very well.
Today a short post on the fairy tale of peak oil.
Since the 1970s a group of people (Paul Ehrlich (wiki), the Club of Rome, "green" movements) with low intellect and morals has argued that humanity is facing catastrophe due to "unlimited exponential economic and population growth" that will inevitably lead to resource depletion, environmental degradation, pollution overload, and eventual societal collapse if current trends persist without deliberate intervention (deliberate intervention = communism + forced sterilizations). Here their forecast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth

All of this has proven to be wrong and even anti-true. Today more people live on this earth than ever before, food per capita is higher than ever before, resources/reserves are higher than ever before, and industrial output per capita is higher than ever before.
In his book "The Ultimate Resource" Julian Simon argued that human time, or human labor, is the ultimate resource because it can be used to make all economic goods and resources. A “resource” is not a fixed pool that humans draw down with their consumption. Resources have to be produced before they are consumed, and their production is not limited by their physical abundance on earth, but by the amount of time humans employ to producing them, and their opportunity costs in terms of other goods.
Why do we have more reserves than ever before? 2 reasons: capitalism and human creativity
- Capitalism: if commodity prices rise due to higher demand, this higher price leads humans (via incentives) to dedicate more of their time to search for and produce more of the commodity
- Human creativity: humans use their brains to find new ways of resource extraction or to find even entirely new resources (150 years ago uranium wouldn't have been viewed as a resource).
BP Statistical Review of World Energy.
If you want more information on how abundant and cheap commodities have become, you can read here: https://humanprogress.org/the-simon-abundance-index-2021/.
All of this does not mean we won't have temporary setbacks and price increases. Right now copper prices are rising, but that is the consequence of mostly two things:
- government debt also known as money printing
- stupid political decisions (like net zero) that lead to underinvestment in resource extraction.
The coming hard decoupling of China (which is the main processor and refiner of rare earth elements, copper, aluminium, steel) will probably also lead to temporary price spikes.
We are not running out of resources; we are creating continuously more and new resources. Our ancestors in hunter-gatherer tribes had barely any resources. The world back then lacked resources because the people then lacked knowledge. For further increasing our knowledge we need to abandon every form of incest (biological incest and ideological incest like communism/political centralism, fundamentalism), and embrace critical rationalism and capitalism.
Have a great day and enjoy capitalism (however much or little you have of it),

Liebe Hiver,
ich hoffe, es geht euch gut.
Heute ein kurzer Post zum Märchen vom Peak Oil.
Seit den 1970er Jahren argumentiert eine Gruppe von Menschen (Paul Ehrlich (wiki), der Club of Rome, „grüne” Bewegungen) mit geringem Intellekt und geringer Moral, dass die Menschheit aufgrund des „unbegrenzten exponentiellen Wirtschafts- und Bevölkerungswachstums” vor einer Katastrophe steht, die unweigerlich zu Ressourcenverknappung, Umweltzerstörung, und schließlich zum Zusammenbruch der Gesellschaft führen wird, wenn die aktuellen Trends ohne bewusste Intervention (bewusste Intervention = Kommunismus + Zwangssterilisationen) anhalten. Hier ihre Prognose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth

All dies hat sich als falsch und sogar als genaues Gegenteil der Wahrheit erwiesen. Heute leben mehr Menschen auf dieser Erde als je zuvor, die Pro-Kopf-Nahrungsmittelversorgung ist höher als je zuvor, die Ressourcen/Reserven sind höher als je zuvor und die industrielle Pro-Kopf-Produktion ist höher als je zuvor.
In seinem Buch „The Ultimate Resource“ argumentierte Julian Simon, dass die Zeit des Menschen oder die menschliche Arbeitskraft die ultimative Ressource sei, da sie zur Herstellung aller wirtschaftlichen Güter und Ressourcen genutzt werden könne. Eine „Ressource“ ist kein fester Vorrat, den die Menschen durch ihren Verbrauch aufbrauchen. Ressourcen müssen erst produziert werden, bevor sie verbraucht werden können, und ihre Produktion wird nicht durch ihre physische Verfügbarkeit auf der Erde begrenzt, sondern durch die Zeit, die Menschen für ihre Herstellung aufwenden, und ihre Opportunitätskosten in Bezug auf andere Güter.
Warum haben wir mehr Reserven als je zuvor? Aus zwei Gründen: Kapitalismus und menschliche Kreativität
- Kapitalismus: Wenn die Rohstoffpreise aufgrund einer höheren Nachfrage steigen, veranlasst dieser höhere Preis die Menschen (über Anreize), mehr Zeit für die Suche und Produktion von mehr Rohstoffen aufzuwenden.
- Menschliche Kreativität: Menschen nutzen ihren Verstand, um neue Wege der Ressourcengewinnung zu finden oder sogar völlig neue Ressourcen zu entdecken (vor 150 Jahren wäre Uran nicht als Ressource angesehen worden).
BP Statistical Review of World Energy.
Wenn Ihr weitere Informationen darüber wünscht, wie reichlich vorhanden und günstig Rohstoffe geworden sind, bittesehr: https://humanprogress.org/the-simon-abundance-index-2021/.
All dies bedeutet nicht, dass es nicht zu vorübergehenden Rückschlägen und Preisanstiegen kommen kann. Derzeit steigen die Kupferpreise, was jedoch hauptsächlich auf zwei Faktoren zurückzuführen ist:
- Staatsverschuldung, auch bekannt als Gelddrucken
- dumme politische Entscheidungen (wie net zero), die zu Unterinvestitionen in die Rohstoffgewinnung führen.
Die bevorstehende harte Abkopplung von China (das der wichtigste Verarbeiter und Veredler von Seltenen Erden, Kupfer, Aluminium und Stahl ist) wird wahrscheinlich auch zu vorübergehenden Preisspitzen führen.
Uns gehen die Ressourcen nicht aus; wir schaffen kontinuierlich mehr und neue Ressourcen. Unsere Vorfahren in Jäger- und Sammlerstämmen hatten kaum Ressourcen. Die Welt damals war ressourcenarm, weil den Menschen damals das Wissen fehlte. Um unser Wissen weiter zu erweitern, müssen wir jede Form von Inzest (biologischer Inzest und ideologischer Inzest wie Kommunismus/politischer Zentralismus, Fundamentalismus) aufgeben und uns dem kritischen Rationalismus und Kapitalismus zuwenden.
Have a nice day und geniesst den Kapitalismus (wieviel auch immer Ihr davon habt...),

Guten tag! Dear @zuerich !
Do you think the Earth can currently support 8 billion people?
Of course it can. We're almost at 8 billion people now, and we're nowhere near the end of life supporting resources. Earth should be able to support at least 14 billion, with current technology.

Yes, sure. It does already.
:P run rocky run!
long live oil. er, i mean GO SOLAR!
Es ist wie es ist
Whilst I don't disagree with what you've said, just because we have a resource doesn't mean we should use it. As civilization has grown, especially Western civ, the room and space for wildlife has decreased. When people talk of saving the planet it strikes me they are saying save the way we live. The planet will be fine. However when certain animals go extinct they are gone forever. I enjoyed all the memes.
