Based Camp: Revolutions, 4Chan, & Who Wins the Online Culture War

from Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm Collins · host Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm

Video Transcript (auto-translated so will include errors):Hello, Malcolm. Hello, Simone. It's wonderful to be here with you today. What are we talking about? I believe we're talking about revolutions and the model for revolutions that you came up with the other day that Surprised me. You always accredit things to me. I don't know why, you know, but whatever we're, because you come up with all the ideas.I ask dumb questions sometimes, which is apparently helpful. Well, this is in reference to the previous post where I was saying it's actually very rarely the, the most downtrod class in society that leads to any form of a revolution. Actually, this is really interesting. You can see this as sort of across societies during colonial periods.Mm-hmm. Where the colonies that would revolt first were often the wealthiest colonies like the American colonies. Where like the average citizen was taxed less than the average citizen in the UK was taxed at the same time period when they were revolting over taxes without representation. And you know, I, I think that it's really interesting to look at like why revolutions happen and we sort of came up with a predictive model, which we want to apply to online communities because I think it can tell us who's going to win.The online culture war and how groups can win the online culture war. But you would also say that this transfers to broadly speaking governments and Yeah. Broadly speaking, governments, et cetera. And it, it doesn't always hold true, but it, when it doesn't hold true, you can see sort of proof of the model through the ways it doesn't hold true. This is a public episode.

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
