China will value internal stability and safety higher then external investors.Internal lenders will get securities and partial payments, while BlackRock and other will be left holding the bag and getting a hair cut.

This results in private pensions funds being devalued, meaning alot of "early out" pensioners might return to working, if the investment collapse spreads. It will also continue to drive the market value of flats in western cities even more upwards, as they become a AAA-haven for china fleeing capital.

Allow me to pitch a little idea of mine: A dysfunctional spacestation/spaceship, with three factions fighting for control ala system shock, but the gameplay mechanics of minecraft & a shooter.

For the alien hive carbon sludge is food, for the humans its reactor coolant. For the cy-borg network cabling is healing material, for the humans its the technology that keeps the air-ventilation alive a little longer. All parties dismantle - rebuild the wreck to further their goals and collide, while the catastrophes they inflict on one another create large scale drama..

Oh, oh the ragnarok of systems programming, moores plateau stretches on, parallel is coming to a limit and now its goodbye abstractions & no-skill-lib-glue-code, hello 80s hardware hacks and efficient programming again? Will OSes be produced like games, were they start with a "reuseable" oo-engine and then that is broken down into data-orientated design.

I thought we had more time..

Cant we global warm postpone this?

Let the next generation sort it all out?
