We know all the problems, but I will summarise the main ones anyway as a quick reminder for context:
The main one which absolutely is existential, is the environmental problem.
The recent COP26 meeting resulted in very distant…

Above is an illustration of our journey as it might have appeared to Kardashev, if he had still been around now.
He is known for his characterisation of stages of civilisation.
Currently, we are somewhere between Kardashev 0.5, and Kardashev 1.0, in the age of Bitcoin creation.
…
So 2020 was a big year.
The biggest in thousands of years, I would argue.
It wasn’t the best of experiences for most of us.
I saw many of my own “achievements” and ambitions dashed, by a chain of events no-one could have predicted.
And I know the same applies…
Ah the shell button king, I knew him well, we grew up together haha.... but seriously somehow, we have to get solar energy incorporated into the economy, otherwise we are gonna perish as a species like a dog that died of hunger in a strawberry field.
IMHO inflation this time is going to turn into something we've never seen before, if we misinterpret it, we might think it is gonna be the end of the world, but once money starts moving in real volume, like it will / has to, we are going to see new ways to "Engineer" the system.
I have much higher confidence in the future of hydrogen
Hi John, thanks for your considered response, much appreciated. I believe we will watch as the solar capacity powering Bitcoin approaches something that could make up the difference between whatever fraction we have solar powered by then, and the remainder. China just recently threw out all of its miners. What…
A person performing the role described as “Kardashev Engineering”
Multidisciplinary Systems Engineering Domain, specialising in all of the disciplines necessary to connect humanity to the sun, as necessary to achieve Kardashev 1.0
Specifically, at the time of writing those disciplines are:
Readers need to be familiar with the concept of Kardashev Money.
The object of this story is to identify a reasonable estimate of Kardashev stimulus, that is money issued, based on Joules of solar energy put to use in the economy as product.
Interesting opinion, but the fact remains that the intellectual property is the knowledge known, by those who spent the time working on it. That history is documented, no matter how much some would like it changed. All you need to do to research it is search for the history of UK CESG working with Huawei, it goes back twenty years.
Here is as good a place as any to start:
