Content warning: re: AI Economics

The federal government’s revenue base is essentially a tax on human time. People work, firms pay them, the government takes a cut. Individual income and payroll taxes are the spine of receipts in normal years.
Indeed. Collapse in the labour economy causes a financial state collapse when the state is funded by a tax on labour.
Productivity is surging, but the gains are flowing to capital and compute, not labor.
Which would ideally mean you tax compute and capital but how's that work when compute and capital own the government already?
The output is still there. But it’s no longer routing through households on the way back to firms, which means it’s no longer routing through the IRS either.

Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset #deafness (in cats) nature.com/articles/s41598-026

Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset deafness - Scientific Reports
When deprived of a sensory modality, the brain often compensates with supranormal performance in other intact systems. While this compensatory plasticity is typically attributed to early sensory loss, plasticity following adult-onset sensory loss remains poorly understood despite its clinical relevance. In many patients, adult-onset hearing loss precedes treatment by cochlear implantation, yet little is known about the neural changes occurring before this intervention. The present study examine…
