So I think it’s becoming clear that wrt solar, batteries,EVs etc, we’re witnessing the dawning of full-scale industrial revolution in China, and I’m interested what people think the impact of this will be? Seems undeniable to me at this point that the disruption is going to be at least comparable in scale to the internet, but what form will it take? Who will be the winners and losers? Effort posts encouraged!

    In summary: it’s a fight against entropy, and we are losing horribly.

    Thanks for the effort post. It’s important that more Hexbears take a world-systems perspective - capitalism is our primary enemy at present, but the future isn’t as easy as slapping a few solar panels on something and calling it solarpunk. Global industrial civilization’s days are numbered, but that’s a scary topic to a lot of people and causes a lot of cognitive dissonance.
