Patriotic to what?If they’re patriotic to a people, then the specific place doesn’t matter as much. They can reassemble somewhere else on the earth. Like hitting a fire alarm to exit a burning building, and reassembling at a muster point.Desert Shark (@Great_Wh1te):@balajis The percentage that would be best suited is also the percentage most patriotic therefore least likely to fully commit to a life uprooted ...

The British — perhaps more than any single other culture — are perfectly suited for venturing forth from Britain and setting up startup societies anywhere in the world.So: assume London is over, for now. And set up New London elsewhere. Ideally by connecting many distributed New Londons, as if all the Chinatowns of the world were part of one commercial network.todofmm (@todofmm):@balajis How exactly would it work in case of totalitarian theocracy of say YooKay? ...

Perhaps obvious, but a chosen specialization for a city (like hair dryers) is very different from a given specialization (like a coal mine).The former is manufacturing, the latter is mining. You can’t choose the distribution of natural resources, but you can make the best of what you have.Original video:International Cyber Digest (@IntCyberDigest):China’s industry is a different beast 🤯Every product and its supply chain are tied to one huge city the size of a nation, Eric explains.This is why other nations ...

China has many cities that specialize in specific products. Like Detroit for cars, they have Cixi for hair dryers, Wenzhou for lighters, and Ningbo for home appliances.We’re familiar with this idea for cultural sectors, like NYC/Shanghai for finance, Silicon Valley/Shenzhen for tech, DC/Beijing for politics, and Hollywood/Hengdian for movies.But of course spatial concentration works for many industries. We’ve written about this already for drone zones and biotech boroughs, but specializing around an *existi ...
