I still need to do a write up on the Five Keys for Risk+Progress. I think they are a useful model for thinking about what creates and sustains material progress. I am wondering though, if 2, 3, and 4 could be condensed into one?
1 and 5 pertain to energy, energy is what we use to counter entropy. These are clearly distinct from the rest. I also think it is useful to differential fossil fuels from corn, because we can't drink the former. But 2, 3, and 4 seem almost to be three sides of the same coin. A decentralized political system, one that allows each individual the freedom to solve problems, would naturally have cities that engage in trade, including a value-added export industry.
Is there a specific reason you kept these distinct from one another?
