Would be interesting to see a list of various categories of science funding per
capita or per GDP for countries around the world. Situate the prospective US
in this list. Will our society be like that of Kazakhstan? Or maybe like
Uganda? Probably well below Uruguay or Argentina or Chile.
To which I add a paper I presented at an ALife conference many moons ago:
“The Influence of Parsimony and Randomness on Complexity Growth in Tierra”,
(http://www.arxiv.org/abs/nlin.AO/0604026)
It would seem that a bit of parsimony is desirable, but too much
parsimony counter productive. Sort of e

With total debt racing toward $40 trillion and growing by $2 trillion a
year, something’s bound to snap. Back in the Clinton days, Al Gore helped

I agree.
Would be curious as to your reasons for saying so. I have reasons that I will

From Copilot. (Of course, this is prior to Trump 2.0.)
Here's the updated table with science funding as a percentage of GDP, including
health research budgets (like the NIH), fundamental research (like the DOE
Office of Science and NSF), and defense-related research (like IARPA, DARPA,
and nuc
In the short term, inflation adjusted exploration costs have stabilized. With
a little more history, it has trended up a lot.
Here are the top 5 companies based on 2024 expenditures, along with their
petroleum exploration investments over the years, adjusted for inflation to
2025 dollars, and
Thanks for these, Marcus,
