Another live players just dropped , I’m so here for it

Another great discussion. Samo is truly one of the best at articulating and explaining geopolitical themes.

The second law of thermodynamics may be false conventional wisdom. Let's face the possibility of breakeven free energy. The second law of thermodynamics was imposed on us during Victorian England's scientific and religious cultural fascination with steam engines. The second law is behind modern refgeration needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The total released and discarded heat minus the removed heat equals the electrical input balancing this system's energy but this only shows that energy is conserved even if the energy use is unneeded wasteful or harmful. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity. In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and horizontal transports. In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminus signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people see fit. Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. For reference, there are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter. Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab: -----‐------‐----_____-- Out 🔻🔻🔻🔻 ■■■■■■___ + Out All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins; the N type semiconductor cathodes or common cathode abuts the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type conductivity) on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type conductivity) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbed: outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity. A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode. There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of your efforts. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous. Aloha Charles M Brown Kilauea Kauai Hawaii 96754

omg this is so awesome... really enjoy, love it

"and then you cant pick little weasels" lol love this. fascinating, excellent discussion. thanks :)

The more I listen to Samo the more I realise what interesting thoughts and ideas he has. All articulated eloquently.

good lord, another calf sacrificed to AI Are you aware there is no reason in "AI", no intelligence there, only probabilities and matrix arithmetic ? The AI models do not have a model of the world inside, they only string words based on probabilities, the input and the text already generated in that particular answer, so when the answer gets too long it the prompt matters less and less etc. If the prompt + the already generated text finds no match in their matrix then it starts to find words with lower and lower probabilities and starts hallucinating.

Here's a step in chip skip-a-rock a silly game. Consolidation of synergistic good ideas would be better. czcams.com/video/36C0zPuJLBg/video.htmlsi=C0CBQ6ZIfaN3NYHV

29:54 If you watch the all-in podcast that Trump went on in the little social protocol back and forth that's common for those circles, they hint at the event that they went to beforehand, that's where Trump got the energy doubling thing. He starts to form it into a talking point partway through the interview.

amazing

Excellent cast as always. Love listening to samo

Sound familiar? And the main reason was that the people of Rome no longer cared if it fail.

Samo Eric Weinstein Elon Vivek the sharp knives that always give food for thoughts

The idea about ukraine is stupid. EU membership means very little for defence, little to nothing. A ,,neutral'' ukraine means another war in a couple of years. Not to mention that joining EU itself is questionable with scum like Orban blockung their membership even more than finlands to nato

28:26 President Harris? I mean.....

It’s a good talk, but calling contemporary America the industrial peer of Germany is very optimistic. The most apt comparison is actually Italy in both relative importance domestically and international demand/reputation. (People often treat Italy like it’s "funny" answer in geopolitics, but I am being serious. Italy has a proud industrial history and is ahead or comparable Western nations like France.)

I am so anticipating a multi-hour interview between Samo, you, and Elon Musk. Please make it happen!

Samo always has a fresh perspective for me to think about. Appreciate the effort you guys put into these shows.

Holy shit samo is so based. I've heard about and read the centralized internet article many times and this is the first time I've heard him articulate that it's framed as a warning. Perhaps I just missed it before. I've also never heard him speak so clearly and passionately about civil liberties. A true American patriot bar none

It's crazy that I hadn't heard this yet

Samo absolutely spot on here. I think of him as a pracademic, which is what gives him his edge in these types of fiscussions. Live Players a great initiative guys. All I would say as an educator in top 10 global uni is that the degree of cheating going on in pure reserch these days is also holding us back. Personally I'm more caught by what's happening in biology.

Pretty pessimistic and really clear analysis. As a European, I hope Europe will find its way, but now it does not seem so.

Kalegri plan

Japan has an ageing population but gets by without mass immigration.

Universities should be deemphasized and trade schools should get more priority when comes to education, maybe we could mix trade schools with high schools.

Your fraud hunting NGO will have to offer lifetime contract because the people it hires will never get a job in academia and maybe not in industry or government, they will be anathema.

32:00 everyone remembers Eisenhower warning about the military industrial complex in his Farewell Address, but almost nobody remembers that in the next sentence he cautioned about government and universities merging their interests.

Several things to talk about, I kinda disagree with.. Issue of crime is more a policy thing, policing is the execution of the process.It's one think to smuggle drugs, completely different of weapons (good luck with that), especially in large quantity.

And then there are the a-holes like Tom Nichols who berate us for not “trusting the experts.”

If business fraud was more common at the small level, investors would sue more often. We see the same with supermarkets, where Walmart in a low crime area doesn't care much about shoplifting, since it isn't very common, but in high crime areas they lock up their merchandise and sometimes even close the location.

hold on. im 3 mins in and he compared the state TFRs to national GDP per capita. Isnt this a category error? he should compare like to like. the economy of tamil nadu is not the economy of bihar

1. Europe fraudulently appropriated the domestication of cattle. Totally ignoring verifiable and overwhelming evidence of domestication of Bos Taurus at Nabta Playa in Africa. Instead attributed cattle domestication to Europe taking advantage of Europe's monopoly on archeo-genetic technology by 'establishing' a link between cattle and the mtDNA of European aurochs. 2. Europe also appropriated the domestication of pigs, a specie domesticated in South East Asia. 3. Europe also attempts to shift the invention of Writing from Africa to West Asia by claiming the earliest writing at Tinis (kingdom of Ta-Seti) in Lower Nubia dated to 3 300 BC was inspired by the writing system of Sumer (Mesopotamia) in Kuwait/Iraq. 4. Im 2017, Germany's Marx Planck Institute attempted to hoodwinked everyone on the DNA Study performed by Dr Krause on Assyrian/Persian/Greek era mummies of Egypt. They presented these Greek and Syrian mummies as represent the 7000 year old African population of ancient Egyptian claiming they were not African, that is, had no native African genes and were according to them closer to modern Europeans than to modern Arabs of Republic of Misr (modern Egypt) and to native Africans.

Sad, who do you believe

Ben is so American my inner monologue of him was European...

Even if fraud is not intended the statistical anomalies built in to the process is staggering ie: sample size, sample selection, sample weeding, data collection bizarreness, misidentification, and hundreds of other issues.

Great that you're covering this. I worked in Alzheimer's research for 4 years so I'm very glad you covered this

As a French who left my country because it became crazy, everything you said make sense to me.

in general agree, but there's bit of odd inaccuracies. I will keep it limited to Poland as i'm native and i'm most familiar with. Western Europe is subsidizing "eastern european" economies - just check how many big companies can you name from the region - entire regions' GDP in Poland is carried by Dutch, German or French companies. After 30 years there's hardly any domestic company coming from the region. Migration wise people coming back is insignificant, it's only mentioned as it's odd to see people actually coming back at all. We are ones using progressive taxation. Economically we are heavily social and state centered model (that is common in all old block i believe). From cultural points - american university type progressivism pretty much doesn't exist. That entire section from 46:00 to around 52:00 is pure delusional nonsense.

The Americans and its western allies have a choice. is it more important to confront china or crush and demoralize their own citizens. Replacing said citizens with foreign people who you cannot rely on their loyalty. Muslims are loyal to Islam and have their own ideas. They would rather fight America that for America

Echoing what George Friedman has been saying for years

Would love to see some links to all this "truth" told by this dude. It is clear his info is lacking.

I would say confidently we in europe have transitioned to a low trust society long ago.

I believe Europe can endure/profit from low/mid-skilled immigration if only absolutely secular people are allowed to immigrate, as well as people that phenotypically fit. In simpler terms, that means only people from around the Mediterranean from Morocco to Iran (=Caucasians). The elites could explain it with legacy of the Roman Empire. This is after 1 to 2 generations invisible immigration. I have not seen this stance espoused frequently, which makes sense as this debate only attracts shrill instead of sensible voices, so you only get white power racists on one side, and "no human is illegal" refusers of acknowledging the phenotypical element plays a role on the other side.

Great video, lots of interesting points.

Economy can be fixed, but ethnic makeup can't. Unless events of 1940s are repeated. So the policy its pretty clear. Its better to be poor but to keep your identity, than to lose your culture and tradition. Of course to the ruling elites this statement is an anathema

That all sounds very grim. Reminds me of the last 30 years in South Africa. One of the best things a South African could have done 20 years ago is to move away to a more prosperous country. E.g many moved to Australia over the last 20 years and I think this was a great decision overall for their families. Today the world looks different, what would you suggest today. What are great places to migrate to as a european family. There are many expat youtubers talking about this, but its would be great to hear your analysis of this question.

Eastern Europe must hold the line.

Mass immigrations purpose was not to save Europe, but to destabilize it...

The racists said this. Every day said this.Because immigrants are more respectful than native. And against the racism the is a laws. The claims of racist are illegally.

Wont save? Its destroyed it. Take out london and the uk is poorer than poland and Mississippi. Theyve destroyed my country
