This page is currently UNDER CONSTRUCTION, but you can start thinking about the Questions below while viewing the video above and the State-Space Model outputs below.
For me, it is really difficult to write about Technology without either falling into the "Gee-Wiz" trap or the "We-are-all-Doomed" trap. I think the problem is Techno-Fascism and the dawning realization that we might already be living in that future. I guess I'm just too committed to stop now, so misinterpret what I'm doing in any way you want. It won't really matter to the Future!

Wikipedia Links
- Techno-fascism can refer to many things!
- Technology the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.
- Artificial Intelligence the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making.
- Solow-Swan Model an economic model of long-run economic growth. It attempts to explain long-run economic growth by looking at capital accumulation, labor or population growth, and increases in productivity largely driven by technological progress.
- Social Media new media technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content (such as ideas, interests, and other forms of expression) amongst virtual communities and networks.
- History of Technology the history of human invention of tools and techniques. Technology includes methods ranging from simple stone tools to the complex genetic engineering and information technology that has emerged since the 1980s.
- Silicon Valley a region in Northern California that is known as a global center for high technology and innovation. Located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, it corresponds roughly to the geographical area of the Santa Clara Valley.
- Societal Collapse the fall of a complex human society characterized by the loss of cultural identity and of social complexity as an adaptive system, the downfall of government, and the rise of violence.
- Steady-State Economy an economy made up of a constant stock of physical wealth (capital) and a constant population size. In effect, such an economy does not grow in the course of time.
- Systems Theory the transdisciplinary study of systems, i.e., cohesive groups of interrelated, interdependent components that can be natural or artificial.
- Cybernetics the transdisciplinary study of circular causal processes such as feedback and recursion, where the outcomes of actions return as inputs for subsequent actions.
- Social Systems the patterned network of relationships constituting a coherent whole that exist between individuals, groups, and institutions.
- Technocracy an expert-based type of governance. In its strongest sense, it is a form of government in which decisions across all sectors and policy domains follow evidence-based, efficiency-oriented procedures grounded in scientific methods and instrumental rationality.
- Dot-Com Bubble a stock market bubble that developed during the late 1990s and peaked on March 10, 2000. This period of market growth coincided with the widespread adoption of the World Wide Web and the Internet.
- AI Bubble a concept that asserts there is a stock market bubble growing since 2025 amid the AI boom, a period of rapid increase in investment in artificial intelligence (AI) that is affecting the broader economy. Speculation about a bubble largely originates from concerns that leading AI tech firms are involved in a circular flow of investments that are artificially inflating the value of their stocks.
Questions
- Are we really doomed by Technology, especially Artificial Intelligence?
- What role will Technology play in Societal Collapse?
- What role might Technology play in a Steady-State Economy?
- Is the current Political System in the US Techno-fascism?

- Is it possible to control Social Systems?
- It AI Machines took over Politics, would it be any worse that the current Trump Administration in the US?
- Is the Political Bureaucracy in the US a Technocracy?
