It did not look to me like the slope of the wages or creative people was greater than 1 at all. It was greater than the .8 slope for infrastructure, but it did not appear given the axes that it was quite 1 either.
It should be noted that GDP, income and wealth increase in bigger agglomerations are to be expected by virtue of the market action on scarcity of land...which everything derives from in absolute terms...
As for patents...we have to remember there are 30-40 patents on how to exercise your cat. It doesn't explain the correlation between city size and number of patents. I think empirically it should be relative to population and number of businesses\corporations.
Wow! I'm impressed Fora. You finally decided to step up your right wing game.
At least this one has substance...Hell, if you keep up the quality level as seen in some episodes of the compass series, I might even resubscribe ! Just do away with the pseudo-intellectual jack-offs who never created shit in there life while hammering they wanna see more innovation.
I've watched the whole conference, and that might be a right winger I can live with...I like the perplexing conclusion he comes to ;-)
We'll never know for sure how much statistical alchemy it took to horseshoe all the data to appear to follow this golden frequency line, but it sounds really wrong if you even take something simple like the crime rate of Toronto versus Detroit per capita, relative not absolute data. Also, what about guns or other laws effecting the numbers? To LYinKansas, the statistics are more about cities than towns, even if you buy into the theory. The stats probably follow the rate the more volume of data.
Everything is based on an average, you can't go into detail on just the averages. Each town is different, really, they are. Goto any small town that has just a garage with no gas pumps and no store or anything like that. They're all over the place in Kansas lots of rural people have to go maybe 20-30 miles really just to reach the nearest gas station.
The whole video is saying: The biggest the city, the more efficient it is and the higher productivity it has per capita.

Still, I'd like to see the data...

Hasn't this already been featured on fora? I remember the graphs from somewhere.
