RSSEvery American should be asking these questions. How can we compete and win against a country that has a population four times bigger and a rapidly growing economy?
The goal is to prevent China from dominating the world economically, for if America falls behind and cedes world economic leadership to China, we will eventually lose our military superiority. How can this be done?
What ultimately has to happen is that America must “leapfrog” ahead of China. We cannot beat China by playing the same game as them or we will be defeated by their sheer numbers. We have to fight like David fought Goliath, with superior strategy to defeat a larger opponent.
Ultimately, this means that America needs to look at its place in the world with almost unlimited ambition and vision. America should aspire to become the first “Type I civilization” and to actively seek to achieve the Technological Singularity.
This sounds crazy, right?
It’s not. If America doesn’t do it, some other country will.
1. America needs to create a “solar system economy” in which resources are not merely extracted from the earth, where resource extraction causes irreparable long-term damage to our environment and eventual resource depletion and diminishing marginal returns but where we are getting the resources we need to develop rapidly from space. And then we need to develop and maintain a monopoly on space-based resources, keeping the technologies that can efficiently extract those resources and transport them to Earth secret. To this end, the government should massively support companies like SpaceX and also fund other companies that are trying to achieve similar objectives and ambitious goals. This is an example of “leapfrogging” ahead of China to maintain and ultimately extend our competitive advantage.
2. Investment into a fully automated military in which America’s global military reach can be maintained and even extended without a single soldier, but with machines that can fight a global war from the other side of the ocean with remote controls.
3. Government subsidized development of offshore seasteading platforms, which will be designated as special economic zones in which residents are free to experiment with whatever forms of political and economic organization that they wish.
The only way we can compete with China is to play a different game. By changing the rules, by fighting an asymmetric game, by looking above to the sky, to the sea. China may rule the Earth, but we will rule the skies.
Have seen reports that the Israeli Air Force has moved to Cyprus. So now what?
Given the long history of the ruthless insanity of the Zionist Israeli government, and their obvious ownership of Congress and the Whitehouse, why has no one ever suggested the possibility of the ultimate blackmail hand they have on the US? Nuke(s) on US soil…. Think the Mossad is not capable of that? If so, the extortion continues, no matter who’s appointed…ahem, I mean “elected”.
