Lets hope the wealthy people actually have the courage to leave and take their money with them, thus hastening the collapse of the British Occupying Power. Recall the English Parliament. Repeal the 1707 Act of Union. Expel the British from England.

I have a question: From reading the report of the Global Happiness Index, I realized that the respondents are asked in two parts: 1- In the first part, they are asked to indicate their life situation from numbers 0 to 10. The answer to this question is the global index of happiness. 2- In the second part, questions are asked to the respondents in 6 different areas. These questions fall into 6 categories: 1- Social support 2- GDP per capita 3- Generosity 4- Healthy life expectancy at birth 5- Perception of corruption 6- Freedom to choose the way of life My main question is: are these 6 variables used in making the global happiness index? Or is it enough to answer the Cantrell ladder question?

Great videos, what you need to pay attention to is psychological complacency in a society ("cortical arousal") It explains why societies are struggling to develop, in comparison to societies which have focus, intensity and high sense of urgency ("high cortical arousal") see for instance kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXLYgKiZp8x-Y7c

Mark Harrison says that American promises not to let NATO expand to the East were never written down. This is true if he means a written protocol or treaty. It is quite false if he means there is no written documentation of these promises which were clearly set down in the minutes of the meetings held at that time. It is probably not helpful, as Mark Harrison does, to look at the neo-Nazi movement in Ukraine in terms of success at the polls. Surely the disturbing thing is how mainstream support for Stepan Bandera and the OUN has become, with statues of Bandera all over Ukraine, and torchlit parades (yes, torchlit parades!) on his birthday on January 1st. This is something a democratic, civilized country should be reacting against on its own. It shouldn't need Russia to be censoring them for it. Also, there are the extreme right-wing battalions, of whom the Azov battalion is only one, which really have no counterpart in the UK or other countries in Western Europe. What is the Hungarian or Polish equivalent to the Azov battalion? There is none.

Interesting conjectures & the paper suffers from a Mesopotamian-cradle bias. Rice is a super cereal in terms of cultivating complexity & the extremely high number of varieties that exist especially in India & to a lesser extent SE Asia & China/Japan/Korea.. A better picture can be gleaned if some focus can be spared here.. do not be afraid that this may break your sacred models which have become smug edifices of preserving domination instead of liberation.

Why would there be a Mesopotamian bias? A Greek bias, an Indian bias or a Chinese bias would be more plausible. No culture of the current world shows (conscious) cultural continuity with the Mesopotamians. Muslims distance themselves from Mesopotamian culture. That is why Muslim extremists often destroy Mesopotamian artefacts that are older than anything else in the world.

From their paper (Mayshar, Moav and Pascali, 2022): 'Consider a farming society that subsists on a cereal grain that has to be harvested within a short period and then stored for year-round consumption. A tax collector could confiscate part of the stored grain and transport it for consumption by distant elite and other non-food producers, even if there is no food surplus. One might worry that ongoing confiscation would lead to a shrinking population and eventually eliminate the source of income for the elite. However, because of diminishing average product of labor, *the smaller population would produce higher output per farmer* This would result in an equilibrium with a stable population in which total output exceeds the farming population’s subsistence needs, with the surplus confiscated by the nonfarming elite.' Note that this is just a thought experiment and not based on historical evidence - the authors are not claiming that the average tax collector in Neolithic societies routinely confiscated cereals even in the event of, say, a famine. But even accepting the hypothetical situation posed, their deduction that this expropriation of non-surplus crop to feed 'a distant elite' would not only be *politically* sustainable but would yield 'higher output per farmer' makes no sense. This would only happen if the population of private farmers decreased as a result of this policy - i.e. through expropriation of low-output farmland or collectivisation - and even then history has shown that expropriation and collectivisation might result by some measures in "higher output per farmer'" but not in greater agricultural productivity or in stable complex societies (e.g. the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine).

Seems a little complacent. There are many plausible explanations for the correlation between cereal-oligoculture societies and complex society formation - e.g. nutrition. In the West for decades, most children are taught that "breakfast" is the most important meal of the day - and that breakfast is typically cereal (fortified with vitamins like folic acid) with milk(which also provides nutrients which promote healthy development). As historically and currently complex states are well-integrated into the global economy (e.g. China, Taiwan, U.S., European and MENA) these countries have access to a great diversity of crop types. It's telling that most children across these developing and developed nations do not start the day with a yam or sweet potato, but instead with dairy products and cereals (e.g. eggs with toast, "cereals" with milk)

Consider also that cereals require industrial processes - e.g. to derive bread products from wheat grain - whereas tuberous veg can be eaten as is, over a fire/ cooked. Thus a society where tuberous veg production predominates is one that does not *require* industrial/ hierarchical complexity in its agriculture. Consider also that the propensity of cereals to rot or become infected has historically been a key cause of disease through food poisoning, which might have provoked in "cereal societies" hierarchical oversight of industrial production to ensure the safety of populaces after mass outbreaks of food poisoning by contaminated cereals (such as ergotism). There are so many possible reasons for this correlation. To reduce an intriguing historical correlation down to macroeconomic effects seems to be ignoring many other non-economic factors.

BTW there is no direction on what a reasonable time actually is, which ends up being a decision based on opinion & this allows for corruption)

Tom Samson - sadly a worthless contribution. He's compared incomparables. You cannot compare an agreement reached to increase trade with an agreement reached to reduce trade trade.Both have exchange rate implications which affect global trade volumes - but in the opposite direction!!!! Without an analysis of this the study is meaningless and the conclusions which are suggested cannot possibly be drawn.
