What type of scale you interested in? There's a good hour 15 min lecture by Feynman I could recommend about scaling machines that's pretty great (so good the video is actually a second 25th anniversary version of original talk he gave)

im interested in developing the idea that scale as the concept is understood today, has inherent limitations and potentially destructive side effects if applied to everything

Yeah I later saw an earlier note of yours that gave me this impression.

(After I replied)

scale as it relates to machines seems to make sense.

but scale in this vein of thinking applied to agriculture brings destructive traits.

im looking for a greater abstraction… a greater truth here.

something like, when you build on the systems of man, they become increasingly dependent on the systems of man, and lead to inherent centralization of power. but the systems of God (or for the monkey cult random accident believer, “nature”) seem to reinforce symbiotically, and lead to increasing abundance that is decentralized.

i don’t know.. this is where my thinking is headed today 🤷

Closest thing I've read in this regard is this. May be a bit off the mark, or maybe you've already heard of it. Seems up your alley though, generally speaking

I apologize, but I encountered an error while processing your request. Could you try again?
