 I personally would love to have my friend's messages saved on my computer
 account. it'd be like a little time-capsule of them that I could randomly
 scroll through or maybe display a random message they sent whenever I opened a
 new terminal
 
 sorta like words, only applied to a message archive. that of a friend or loved
 one.

 yeah, workin' on it...
 
 building "community" whatever that means
 
 seems to be important enough to people that they'd consider it necessary prior
 to any "hot" action
 
 which, like, yeah, I get, but what they don't know is that community springs up
 naturally in the presence of shared experience. And if people are suddenly
 tasked with something then they're gonna make friends. They're gonna draw
 allegiances. Basically every alignment we make now is useless because the whole
 point is to force people to govern themselves.
 
 ... why won't you take your liberty, liberals? where's your spirit?
 
 oh yeah you want community first. Right. workin' on it...

 "I love you, I trust you, I believe you, I just don't understand you, so I
 can't do what you do"
 
 great. that's alright. I get it. re-orient, focus on what's important.
 
 wear many hats and you'll do many things. just don't forget to sleep every once
 in a while.
 
 the more you can do in a life the more valued it becomes, so do the right thing
 and keep getting better.
 
 human lives are measured not in bodyweight, but in mystery. The divine can't
 understand benevolence, nor can the devils understand the desire to inflict
 suffering. So they ponder and pontificate as they watch humans wander and
 magnificate.

 trusting the "open source community" to properly vett software is absurd
 because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and frameworks
 at problems until they can script their way out of whatever problem they face.
 
 the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other
 people can't even understand when to use them much less how they work.

 Code editor that moves boxes by saving over the file with a lua script every
 time you moved a function call around.
 
 Oh lemme start at the beginning:
 
 A code editor program that's like a text editor like Vim or Emacs. If you don't
 know what those are, you should probably learn Emacs. Or Vim. Up to you.
 
 Oh right so if you do know what those mean, here's the idea: the white space
 matters. It's counted and tracked into variables in a LUA script which
 interface with the Vim C keybindings.
 
 "run a function within a c program or LUA script which calls a bash command
 which opens Vim for example with a file you want to edit. Then, inside the
 file, your spaces and tabs would WYSIWYG for the various food ads placed about,
 and then you could very easily create game design knowledge.
 
 WASD to move, alternatively hjkl 
 
 It would run a check every time the file updates and depending on how it
 changed it'd mark certain variables which would change the website as the user
 moved things around.
 
 It's just files. And files are just bits. But files are a useful abstraction,
 
 If you realize that "ugly hacking" should be industry standard.

 "carbon efficiency is pointless, we're just gonna figure out how to pull carbon

 certain levels. Zero is preferrably, but sorta like ttickets in a backlog they

 the gods want you to be happy and harmonious most of the time.
 they also like a good scrap, tussle, and tumble sometimes
 they aren't big fans of hatred, despair, and genocide. It's been done before.
 they don't even need new technology, though frankly that sort of stuff is pretty
 awesome and one of the main reasons that humans exist at all.
 they just... keep coming up with new things.
 
 "oh? so you'd be alright if humans disappeared so long as they weren't making
  any new things anymore?"
 
 ha, that's DEFINITELY not what I said or meant. Humans don't have to dream up
 NEW things in order to BE new. Like... Just because the internet exists and now
 we have all the same shared cultural ethos (lol, as if the internet wasn't just
 a massive collection of echo chambers) just because the internet exists doesn't
 mean we share the same selves. the same experience. the same perspective.
 
 people are WILDLY different from one another. The number of possible human
 experiences (quantum fluctuations according to each and every choice and
 decision they made) that number is so wildly and massively incomparably
 boundless. Humans are cool because they are so STRANGE, and "strange" to a god
 is anything novel. "wow, this human just... really is gonna pour a glass of
 beverage and act like it's not a big deal? There's... impossibly many
 interactions going on. So many molecules. It's... absurd, the motion of a
 movement of particles from one place to another. It's... beautiful..."
 
 some have spent THOUSANDS OF YEARS gazing at a waterfall. That's why they're all
 so fucking insane. But, like... insanity is a trifle to omnipotence,
 specifically omnipotence that REPRESENTS and DELINEATES a STRATIFIED perspective
 cluster of experience and our notes. [ephemeren, meta malus menardi, enjoy your
 despair cluster you FUCKER.]

 couldn't think of anything more valid and valuable than sex and pooping.

 design the guild, design the capital, then design their path through mordaunts.
 easy peasy.
 
 design the guild like a museum. Each spot there's an exhibit which teaches the
 randomly generated rolled statistics hero something new. Maybe it teaches them
 how to use certain weaponry, maybe it teaches them how to use a bow. Whatever
 the spell might be, they can learn it, and use their randomly rolled statistics
 to cast spells that scale differently depending on how their character has been
 built.
 
 design the capital like a flow diagram, if horses need feed and forged steel
 (for their shoes) then send the outputs of a blacksmith and the outputs of the
 farmers to the inputs of the stables. Everything has to go somewhere, but the
 streets are only so wide. You'll have to coordinate the traffic diagram if you
 want it to go anywhere useful.
 
 design the path through the mordaunts. Fighting skeletons teaches you about
 perseverence and the ability to crush bones, while goblins teach you to always
 be wary of attack. The sacred grove held blessed berries, and now that the land
 is liberated from the evil bandits preying on villagers those berries can be
 carted into town and used to make an antidote which heals death poison caused
 by the scorpions in the desert (and city rats)
 
 design the ruler's schedule like a calendar where each event gives them a bonus
 on all the ones that come later. Just make sure that they don't get knifed in
 the posterier or driven mad by the whispers of the orb... or perhaps just the
 stress of running a kingdom.
 
 (how do you simulate that? you can't! you can't simulate humans!)
 
 ha I bet I can. They're not so different, you and I, so if given a team I
 will...

 humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
 
 give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
 scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
 with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

 If a person gathers enough money that they can't spend it fast enough, then
 they are hoarding it and it should be be distributed through the rest of the
 economy. There are legitimate uses that could benefit from extra dollars and by
 keeping them locked up they are damaging the economy, and hence, our society,
 which is largely governed by our economy.
 
 There is a legitimate fear that dismantling the system of monetary exchange
 will cause people to barter in influence and clout instead, trading favors and
 making illusory transactions that the government cannot impartially enforce.
 Impartiality is the entire purpose of governance! Look to NFTs for an example
 of this. While that is a valid concern, it is just as if not more concerning to
 consider that they already do this. They already trade favors for blood, gold,
 and property. What else is there to covet, in their wicked and cruel game of
 maximum exploitation and unlimited industrious fallacies?
 
 I believe it is reasonable to curtail the worst excesses of their monetopoly by
 diverting power to the people who can contest them. Just as rulers of old were
 checked and balanced by the vote of the citizenry upon implementing democracy,
 so too much power be abated by depriving it of its most powerful leverage -
 that of its crushing weight, when applied en masse.
