The key to Rome's high fertility rate lies in its population of farmers with many children; the key to the decline in fertility rates lies in the bankruptcy of the farmer-soldier class, the increase in low-fertility slave populations, and the growth of urban welfare populations. The replacement of farmer-soldiers by mercenaries, and the shift from republic to empire, have their reasons here. Early slaves had no legal families and needed to be continuously purchased as replacements, like firewood or ore. The welfare population was not large, but lacked stable families; in Rome and most city-states, it played a role in encouraging wealthy patrons and protectors to form oligarchic rule. The Roman Peace led to rising slave prices, which encouraged the familialization of agricultural slaves, transforming slaves into coloni. Together with the collapse of the tax system and inflation, this spurred the natural economization and feudalization of monetary slave estates.

You guys talk about this shit and have zero actual advice to offer. Some commie poster had it right; this is a new problem and not normal due to the over economization of everything. You’re expected to spend ludicrous amounts of money just to play the game. College is exhibit A

Mfw 'wealth taxes' require owners of enterprises to liquidate 5% of their organization every year, leading to massive de-economization and a rapid transition to a sort of rural-apocalypse

[@grok] Mitigation strategies: Approaches are being deployed at scale, in water-stressed regions like Texas. Traditional evaporative cooling (which relies on water evaporation for heat rejection) is the main culprit for high usage, but it's being phased out or hybridized in new builds. Recent data, examples, and nuances: 1. Closed-Loop Cooling Systems Confirmed and advancing rapidly. Water (or coolant) recirculates in a sealed system, with heat rejected via air-cooled dry coolers or chillers instead of evaporative towers. This eliminates most evaporative losses. -Crusoe’s Abilene AI campus (Texas): Matches your example closely. Closed-loop direct-to-chip (DTC) cooling with air-cooled heat rejection. Initial fill: ~1 million gallons per building (municipal). Ongoing annual use: ~50,000 gallons per building for maintenance/top-ups (far lower than your 12k figure in some reports, but still negligible—roughly half a typical U.S. household). The full 1.2 GW campus emphasizes non-evaporative design for high-density AI. - Microsoft: New designs (starting Aug 2024) use closed-loop chip-level cooling for zero evaporative water use. Pilots in Phoenix, AZ, and Mt. Pleasant, WI (2026). Savings: >125 million liters (~33 million gallons) per facility annually. Fleet-wide WUE target around 0.30 L/kWh. Trade-offs: Slightly higher energy use in hot climates (fans/pumps for dry coolers), but efficiency gains from higher densities and renewables integration often offset. 2. Immersion Cooling and Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Strong growth for AI workloads. These are highly effective for high-power-density GPUs/CPUs. -Reductions: 50–95% water savings vs. traditional systems; energy savings up to 30–50% by reducing/eliminating server fans. -Fluids are dielectric and reusable with minimal losses. -Adoption: Accelerating in hyperscale (e.g., Crusoe, Microsoft, others). Upfront costs higher, but OPEX and density benefits dominate for AI. 3. Air Cooling/Dry Cooling/Economization Widely used where feasible. Equinix has reduced evaporative cooling to ~40% of its global portfolio, prioritizing air cooling in water-stressed areas (e.g., switching a facility due to local concerns). Air cooling uses no water for heat rejection but trades off with higher electricity demand. Hybrid systems (air limited liquid) are common compromises. 4. Non-Potable and Alternative Sources Particularly relevant in Texas. Strong push for recycled municipal wastewater, treated produced water from oil/gas, brackish groundwater, and rainwater. -Texas GOP resolution (late 2025) urges AI data centers to adopt oil & gas-style recycling protocols and prioritize produced water to protect aquifers. ExxonMobil, for example, shifted to 87% recycled water in Permian. -Broader trend: AWS, Meta, Google using reclaimed water at many sites; "water positive" commitments (replenish more than consumed). 5. & 6. Optimizations, Site Selection, and Holistic Approaches Standard now. AI-driven controls, advanced treatment to reduce blowdown, on-site recycling, and monitoring deliver 20–50% extra savings. Site selection favors cooler/wetter areas or co-location with renewables/low-water power. Texas context: Projections show massive growth (e.g., HARC study: 49B gallons in 2025 → up to 399B by 2030 statewide). New facilities emphasize closed-loop alternatives, but legacy/older sites and indirect water use (power generation) remain. Transparency and local regulations tightening. Overall Bottom Line and Caveats The industry is responding effectively in new hyperscale AI builds—many achieve near-zero evaporative use. Full lifecycle (including power generation water) isn't zero, and older facilities lag. Challenges include chemical management in closed loops, higher energy in dry climates, and scaling in stressed areas. Policy, innovation, and economics are driving fast adoption. For Texas specifically, water reuse and closed-loop mandates could mitigate much of the strain.

If someone breaks into your house and you forcefully remove them from your house, you enforce the NAP. It is in fact possible for people to defend their own rights. Further, only capitalism facilitates economization. So rights enforcement would tend to be more efficient.

Lies !!! If you want to win major trophies you have to sign the superstar attackers and bin these “dressing room” talks case there’s no way Vini wouldn’t act right under arteta’s management….wengers economization era has past and in other to win big you sign big

Also, they bought out Twitter and immediately tried to expand monetization. If anything, they're trying to expand the economization of public spaces. Also this brand of conservatives are the biggest threat to free speech we've seen in decades.

Segregation, deportations, protectionist economic regulation, strong unions, the de economization of public spaces. Just to name a few.

I asked Duck.ai Are the proposed data centers going to use as much water as being discussed? I'll assume you mean the proposed hyperscale data centers often discussed in news (large cloud/AI facilities). Short answer: no — they typically use far less water than the most alarming figures suggest, but water use can still be substantial and varies widely by design and local cooling method. Key points Cooling method matters: Air-cooled facilities use little to no water; evaporative or wet cooling (direct/indirect evaporative cooling, cooling towers) uses much more. Water usage is highest for evaporative systems and liquid-immersion cooling with heat rejection that relies on evaporative towers. Reported figures vary: Publicized “up to” numbers often cite worst-case hypothetical cooling scenarios (peak-year, high ambient temperatures) rather than annual averages; actual annual water use is typically lower because cooling demand fluctuates. Design and efficiency reduce demand: Modern data centers use heat-reuse, free-air/air-side economization, closed-loop systems, hybrid cooling, and more-efficient IT equipment, all of which substantially cut water consumption compared with older designs. Site-specific factors: Local climate (humid vs. dry), facility size (MW of IT load), and redundancy requirements strongly affect water use. Dry, cool climates favor air economization; hot/dry climates sometimes still use evaporative methods to save energy, increasing water use. Metrics to compare: Look for reported metrics like annual water usage effectiveness (WUE: liters/kWh or gallons/MWh) or total annual water withdrawal and consumption. WUE lets you compare facilities on a normalized basis. Mitigation & commitments: Many operators pledge to limit freshwater use, use reclaimed/gray water, or offset consumption; however, the degree of implementation and enforceability varies by company and facility. If you want precise estimates for a specific proposed data center, give the site (city or facility plans) and I’ll estimate likely water use using typical WUE ranges or look up reported permit/impact documents. And the thought I had was, if they need a lot of water, build them where there's lots of water. By the Great Lakes.

The economization of time is independent of the economization of economic goods and services. Even in the land of Cockaigne man would be forced to economize time, provided he were not immortal and not endowed with eternal youth and indestructible health and vigor.

The merchant caste dream of the full economization of all value inevitably creates a sort of social Tower of Babel with full pairwise rank correlation of preferences. “Social technology” like borders and marriage are good defenses against it (two things SF/tech often lack).

Reluctant to join into AI discourse because this platform is oversaturated with it, but there is too much preoccupation with the strongest model at any given time, or what company has them, over model economization & sustainability

Art is one of the oldest forms of human economization. Long before money, markets, or credentials existed, humans created value through rhythm, movement, voice, and presence. We danced. We chanted. We told stories with our bodies and sounds. These acts weren’t just “entertainment” — they were how we earned attention, respect, status, and sometimes survival itself. Watch this brother light up the subway car with pure skill and energy. No formal degree. No institutional approval. Just discipline, talent, and the courage to turn a moving train into his stage. In a world where résumés, titles, and qualifications often fall short — where society doesn’t always see or value your full worth — your art still testifies. It’s honest proof of work. Of hours spent honing your craft. Of something real and undeniable that other humans instinctively feel and respect. You can’t fake presence like this. Creation like this cuts through the noise. This is the spirit we’re protecting and empowering at Bitcoin For The Arts — sovereign creators who build real value, backed by sound money instead of fragile systems. Raw. Human. Timeless. Drop a 🔥 if this hit you. Tag a creator who moves you. #BitcoinForTheArts #SovereignArt #ProofOfWork #StreetCreativity #NYC #Artist #HipHop #Dancers #Art #Bitcoin

Reasoning effort viability for token economization should be based on a comprehensive review of everything a user has previously asked the models to do. Many people could be served 2022 LLMs at 2026 prices and it would be just fine for everyone involved.

Pretty sure it rewards intelligence. There is a clear correlation at least. Being able to generate wealth through incvention and economization benefits everyone but often the smart chap who did it benefits the most.

The accusation is a conscious attack against economization altogether under the belief that there’s a way to have everything we want without encountering opportunity cost. This was at the root of the socialist theories Bastiat called out then and it is at the root of MMT now.

Keynes: “Planning should take place in a community in which as many people as possible, both leaders and followers, wholly share your own moral position. Moderate planning will be safe if those carrying it out are rightly orientated in their minds and hearts to the moral issue”. Production and creativity, Keynes hoped, would replace economy as the principles of state action. Renouncing the myopic pursuit of economization became the first step in a general transformation of capitalist civilization. Nevertheless, “There is a wide field of human activity where we shall be wise to retain the usual pecuniary tests. It is the state, rather than the individual, which needs to change its criterion.”

إن تغليب المنطق الاقتصادي (Economization) والنزعة الربحية داخل الأوساط الأكاديمية يُحيل التعليم العالي إلى محض نموذج إنتاجي مختزل في خدمة النمو الاقتصادي المباشر. وتكمن خطورة هذا المسار في تهميشه للعلوم الإنسانية، مما يُفضي إلى تشكيل مجتمعات خاضعة ومسلوبة الإرادة النقدية؛ حيث تتقزم المؤسسات التعليمية لتصبح مجرد آلات لتفريخ موظفين منصاعين للأنظمة البيروقراطية وآليات السيطرة المؤسسية. يتجلى هذا التهميش عند النظر في تعقيدات ما يُعرف بـ "مجتمع المخاطرة" (Risk Society). فكما تؤكد أدبيات علم الاجتماع والدراسات الثقافية، تصنع التكنولوجيا اليوم واقعاً جديداً، لكنها تُولّد بالتوازي مخاطر هيكلية غير مسبوقة. وهنا يبرز الدور المحوري للفلسفة وعلم الاجتماع في تقديم أدوات نقدية رصينة لتقييم تلك المخاطر، متجاوزةً لغة الإحصائيات الصماء، بغية فهم أثرها العميق على استقرار المجتمعات الحديثة وابتكار سبل حكيمة لإدارتها.

Apart from economization, deforestation, poor infrastructure and soil erosion, which other factors are preventing you from getting married? 😂

Catalyze….lol This is Carney’s de-economization disguised as green initiatives that are so made up and fake it’s laughable.
