It felt so much more invigorating to my soul the first time. I wondered why, and I believe the reason is because it inspired me to go out and be brave as fuck. People were terrified, I saw it in their faces. It felt like the scenes on coruscant where everyone keeps their head down and looks around warily. Now, things are fucking great outside. You can go on a walk and see people in the park. I love that. I guess it didn't hit me the same way the second time around because I made progress on my "own personal revolution" (nemik to skene) and now the fear feels distant. Season 2 was pretty great.

Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again once I'm asleep. But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something. Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up a tent? I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops mentioned one second. I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it finds itself contextualized in? Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or whatever. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to feel any emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.

When people are empowered, they are enabled to take responsibility for the world around them. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/algorism-neighborhood-distribution-network ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── Algorism is a system designed to work for any level of organization. It scales. It accomplishes this by abstracting individual needs into communal needs at a certain level of size or complexity, and in doing so it enables people to take responsibility both for their individual lives, but also the lives of the world around them. This increased level of "stake" that people "hold" in their lives will encourage them to develop their surroundings in a healthier way, thus leading to a safer, saner, and more productive society for all. How is this accomplished? There are many aspects to Algorism, and this note is an examination of one particular facet - specifically, the requisition system which delivers goods and services to entities larger than a single individual. It may be best illustrated with an example. Consider a neighborhood - or, even simpler, a suburban street, lined with houses. There may be 20-50 families on that street, depending on it's length, so let's say there's around 30. These families hold a common cause together - they all want their surroundings to be generally pretty nice, clean, and decent. They may share many other things besides, but these are things that most people can agree on. These 30 families need supplies and infrastructure in order to have a good life lived in their small little "town". Some common ideas for unification activities include knocking down the backyard fences and letting them relish the shared safe space for children, gardens, and nature. This is an example of a cultural method for building a "good life" for them, however they need to have some sort of "economic" method of good-life-building as well. The reason I say this is because no matter what level of complexity you reach, there are always economics involved, for an individual distributing blood cells to each of it's fingertips all the way up to families sharing the food on the serving plate at dinner. Go up higher and you have perhaps neighborhoods sharing commonly used tools or resources, then cities and states and countries sharing people, talents, and brotherhood. Economics are a symptom of systems, not power. Power is coercive, it compels others to obey thine will or else face retribution, but systems do not require power in order to function. A system could be as simple as "you scratch my back I scratch yours", which is a simple way that our ancestors learned about basic cooperation. Systems can scale of course, and they need not be comprised solely of verbal, mental, or legal agreements - computer systems, economic systems, spiritual systems, systems of math or physics, all of these things are based on the philosophical discipline known as "logic". Logic is fallible of course, it is certainly possible to create systems of logic which are completely unsound or invalid and which fall apart upon being used for the first time. However, when considered with a scrutinous eye for detail, and referenced to the results of the real world and it's endless permutations, logic can be an excellent tool for developing organization and structure. Both of which are invaluable for all humans when they seek to cooperate or coordinate. If thirty people who lived near each other wanted to cooperate or coordinate on the goal of "building a good life", they might reach for a logical method of developing their surroundings toward how they feel is most suited to their needs and demands. In order to do so, they'll need supply and infrastructure. The question of acquiring such supply and infrastructure is ultimately up to them, but the Algorist way of doing so is to utilize the queue system. This system is related to queues as typically understood only in name and in technicality, for the additional structures built on-top of the queues are more than sufficient to differentiate it. When you, dear reader, hear the idea that you'd have to wait in line in order to get your food at the cafeteria, you may shudder and think about how you'd prefer anything else. After all, that's how they did it in the Soviet Union, and there are plenty of horror stories about how it took 10 years to buy a car, or how the factories were graded based on weight so they'd sneak lead into all their lamps or whatever in order to seem like they were doing well. They gamed the system, in a word. However, America in 2025 is not as simple as the USSR in the mid-1900s. We have computers now. We do not need to coordinate using paper and pencil. This enables us to create things like web-UIs for Amazon, a world-wide distribution network, or to build SQL databases full of every record we could imagine and store it on a computer the size of a brick. There is no end to the power that computers may bring to us, but with great power comes great responsibility, and the pragmatic programmer will work tirelessly to reduce complexity of scale. A queue is a system where the entities who are to be served, delivered, or otherwise operated on are placed in line, and those which are placed first are focused on with priority over those that entered the queue later. There are many types of queues but this is the one we will use for this note. Using this basic definition, we can see that there are many opportunities to implement additional mechanics ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5525 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── I have this unreasonable compulsion that I somehow internalized at a very young age.
