A neoluddite(?) and perpetual motion machine(s) Part 1/2

Today I got reminded that in order to keep track of things, it’s not enough to follow the news. You need to predict the news. And to do anything remotely interesting, you need to make conclusions of the predicted news and act accordingly.

Last summer I got an ad about a deal my bank was doing with another company and based my choices of handling accounts according to that information. Today that deal was announced and covered in news. Yesterday I got a future research technology alert about a company that behaves as if they really had discovered a perpetual motion machine. Only today I realized that the important question is not if it is true, but what will follow if it is true.

Is free energy safe energy?
