As I see it, the main driver in the increase in "growth" (other than population) is productivity. Productivity tends to be driven by gradual adoptions of automation, which has been a major factor for 50+ years, and actually far larger. Automation isn't going away, and will only increase in effectiveness for decades Energy is a factor, but society is well on its way to the widespread adoption of solar and wind energy. Solar is useful in most locations, and wind will eventually be useable just about everywhere, 24 hours per day, with the use of low-resistance materials to conduct that energy, for example metallic carbon nanotubes.

On a recent Macbook, this is NeoMutt 20180512 via Mac Ports. On the PGLAF server, Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15) under Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Both systems have recent CPUs and > 4GB of memory, which probably helps. Theoretically I can parse the mbox file into the list archives at https://lists.cpunks.org so they are navigable like the rest of the post-2013 archive that's already there. I'll take a look at this... The cypherpunks archive is public, so it will then become indexable by Google and the other search engines. https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/ - Greg

Re: We must preserve the Cypherpunks Mailing List archives! IMPORTANT!
I will try to find a way to add these older items to the archives at https://lists.cpunks.org so it's findable there. (I'm the guy who currently runs Mailman and the server there.) The .tar.bz2 file has 92,195 individual files. I appended them all to a single file, which email clients can open as an mbox file. But mailx reported 84519 messages, and mutt reported 84531. I have temporarily put this combined file here, until I can add them to lists.cpunks.org somewhere under /var/lib/mailman: All files concatenated as-is: http://www.petascale.org/cypherpunks-1999-2015.mbox md5sum: 2a4ed20b98411cfd18c69765b21c30d2 cypherpunks-1999-2015.mbox Presumably the other ~7664 files have something that gives the email clients I tried indigestion. So I appended a blank line to each file, and then ran "formail -ds" on each file. Now mailx reports and mutt(neomutt) reports 96969 messages. All files concatenated after being "fixed" as described: http://www.petascale.org/cypherpunks-1999-2015-fixed.mbox a08b619f3bcc92253dbd9140956c79ef cypherpunks-1999-2015-fixed.mbox There are four messages from pre-1999. Then, lots from 1999 starting with: Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 02:32:36 -0800 From: Matthew X To: cypherpu...@einstein.ssz.com Cc: dec...@well.com Subject: War on terra There are messages going through 2016, and lots of messages with broken headers from formail. It would take more work to "fix" whatever might be broken for all the files in the .bz2 work. The 'nmh' email client might be helpful for this, since it uses individual files, rather than mbox files. If anyone has ideas about how to create an improved mbox file (or simply provides one) I can add that to the lists.cpunks.org archive instead. I will also add the .bz2 which provides individual files. I'm glad that Riad had this older set!
