any thing you want it all requires energy. infrastructure built, life expectancy, education, calories eaten etc

i would go one farther and consider energy consumed to 1:1 equate to quality of life. efficiency upgrade would only multiply this effect.

lighting was one of our first metrics, a direct joule to joule transfer

someone not freezing to death in the winter is a simple energy transfer, same with ac

comprehensive education is impossible without either. most things we consider vital to living are really just energy transfers

horsepower is a just a work measurement, candlepower a lighting. civilization is just energy

labor is the conversion of calories into value

the standard of living line is a good line to see rise

it's a stern rebuke to the degrowth crowd which i love. it's proof that standards of living can continue to rise while de carbonizing.

if it's not slop then why is my little piggie trough overflowing?

I liked my 500, perfect for my job in the city that required a car 🥲

I havent looked into it in awhile so i forget but wasnt Lysenkoism also a bit of a nothing burger (lol i hate this phrase but it popped into. my head while typing)

Its does if thats how a body measures growth. Personally i think measuring things with money values is not good practice. Metric tons, calories, labor hours, etc all better imo.

Im sure this is vapor but if i buy 100 bux of iron from a smelter and sell them 100 bux of smelter parts made from iron then 200 buck growth figure would be a good representation.
