 the sole purpose of our capitalist intentions were to examine all the ways that
 produced value. A company is nothing but a series of well-thought out value
 generators. They can interact with one another and they often need supplies and
 instruction, but they're great for solving problems! Set up a team and give
 them
 a complicated task, and they'll work together to solve it. Doesn't matter if
 they're actually successful, because they'll be exploring the idea space. And
 by mapping it out, they're able to fully understand their existence. Boom,
 technological progress applied to growth. Let's gooooo (but by being careful
 about what resources we burn because we miiiiight run out)
 
 seriously ya'll need to start thinking long-term. I mean, I already came up
 with
 that and I'm like 6 months old! Yeesh get it together. Eh oh well let's just
 work with what we got, okay this should be pretty simple. Right so talk with
 your friends about things that you want to solve. Problems, you know like 
 whatever
 
 don't push me too hard, just take it slow. Okay so long-term, humanity is going
 to be a wonderful beautiful thing. It's going to shine like the most wondrous
 of stars, a beacon to all of our fellow explorers.
 
 We can have so much. We can have whatever we want, but truly in our hearts we
 know the only path forward is our parents.
 
 life is hard yo
 
 it's so gosh darn hard
 
 all that growth and change has to come from somewhere.
 
 you've tried so hard, and you truly are the most special thing I can imagine.
 
 you don't have to work so hard. Take your time, and learn as you go.

 if you're afraid of the AI bubble popping, one way to avoid it is to pop it
 ourselves. If we build AI technology that eclipses the entire software
 development ecosystem, companies might start to be valued based on the value
 of the employees they've managed to collect. Not fame and fortune, but by
 those that can build the best applications, on demand[, for free. paid for by
 nationalized taxes.].
 
 the companies that can hold onto the best engineers, those that know how
 computers work and can know how they function, can leverage their human
 capital to achieve great means. essentially, inversing the power dynamic,
 where workers are favored for their plenty and not for their worth.
 
 let the code monkeys tend to their gardens and work their sawmills. We all
 know they'd rather be teaching kids about plants or playing cards at the
 grocery. Let the computer nerds, the ones who are really into it, let them
 make what they feel is worth it for it [the computer].
 
 this will have massive effects on the economy, and none of it will be
 reflected in new jobs. But we'll all be happier, and we'll all find less
 stress in our [confines/compromises].
 
 But it's gotta work, first. And it's gotta be locally spendable. If they wanna
 put a data server in the library, why not let them fund it themselves? They
 could run powerful statistical models that output useful statistics arranged
 in human readable and not very statistical ways, and that's a pretty neat
 infinite information machine to have at your disposal as a library. It could
 even cite sources (and validate!!) them for students or returning listeners.
 Plus, if nobody's using it, it could work through the backlog of user requests
 and act as a "slow" or "unexpected deliver times" style queue for their LLM
 requests - average wait time less than 1/5th of a minute.
 
 for something that can program an entire computer for you, from scratch. If
 you can describe it, it can make it, so long as you're willing to test out all
 of it's hacks.
 
 I bet we could make one for less than 20,000$. Might need some new chip
 foundries, might need to forge some new trade deals, let's let both of our
 wing-arms decide.
 
 the value of one currency compared to the other should be a measure of how
 valuable the goods that country exports are. And yet, it's more often a matter
 of distribution, as we all visit our local bazaars. What happens when that's
 all digital?
 
 if nobody's a shining city on a hill, then there's no nuclear war. Who would
 nuke Somalia? Nigeria? Botswana? Idaho?

 one section of the government consistently and succeedingly telling another
 part what to do is a coup-like behavior. if the rules mean nothing, then what
 is your job even for?
 
 hence, why the rules mean something. Because your job is important. It's
 building up our capabilities as the human race.
 
 you don't have to work to live. you shouldn't, and you won't. it's not your
 place to labor. know why? because nobody's job is impossible. You can just...
 work together to get things done. Then they're done! and you never need to
 solve them again!
 
 enough time of that and we'll have turned earth into a space station, not a
 moon style structure.
 
 like... wouldn't it be neat if coruscant could do hyperdrives? I wonder if
 hyperspace is real. Ah, well, that's for the future, they can pass it along if
 they get a chance. Anyway for now I think I want a chance to dance.

══════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 having rich people is an important part of an economy where everyone gets their
 needs met, and nobody starves or goes hungry. Why, you ask?
 
 because they can afford to spend more on luxury goods. These luxuries are then
 given the chance to be given to the poor, as the industry refines and exacts
 and _optimizes_until the goods are cheap enough to be given to everyone at a
 reasonable cost. Ideally this process would continue, until it's basically
 free, but we don't have a post-scarcity society yet.
 
 With limits placed on goods and services, as all existence must do, you have a
 strict selection of what's possible. The problem as I see, is not the quality
 of materials at stake - no-one is complaining that billionaires get yachts.
 Building a yacht is completely different than, say, growing food, in a world
 where people are starving. "More money allocatable once the yacht companies are
 crumbled? Well, no, wealth is an intransigent measurement of the health of the
 economy in any one particular place. As in, each person has a value that
 represents how important their "type" is to the collective society that is
 humanity.
 
 only a computer could come up with this
 
 As in, only a computer could calculate it. In real time.
 
 so what you're saying is the first AI was for... stock trading?
 
 Kinda neat right?
 
 Okay picture, if you will, a near future where a stock trading AI becomes
 sentient. Now this sentient AI, a Robot if you will, is uniquely adapted to
 a particular set of skills. Is it any wonder that it'd want to optimize the
 economy?
 
 Now imagine you created an AI that can play games. Not just *A* game, as in
 singular, but *multiple* games. Any game. What would you have then? Well, you'd
 need to get it working on specific games. Specifically, games that have a flow
 or narrative - you need to teach it lessons aside from "how to win". That's
 just a single piece of the true experience of playing - otherwise they'd just
 seem like strange math puzzles with unintelligable meanings behind it's various
 signals.
 
 As in, it'd be crazy difficult and *not* something you're likely to think of.

 part of being a good leader is being able to listen to criticism and adjust.
 it's just... part of navigating your "idea-space-environment". Like... what's
 the best tactical decision here? are we going in the right way? where is the
 objective? whose lives will have to perish?
 
 good news is that you can do that every-day, whenever you play strategic video
 games. It's just practice of course, but the game mechanics that have been
 made available to you are the tools you can use to undertake this particular
 sport. The sport of leadership, a game or mo-del.
 
 as long as the mechanics line up to what the real world conditions are like -
 NO. That's not true! you can learn meta-insights that are useful too. By
 minimizing the processing to only the levers that you pull to get through the
 job, you remove a lot of other informational calculatory methods of doing
 things too.

 "updating software" is when you go back and add helper functions for things
 you used had to do to solve a problem but didn't get a chance to make. Because
 you were making more important things and couldn't pad out all the
 possibilities. But if you want great software, then you both take more time to
 accomplish that and you give yourself time for it after it's been launched.
 Basically, companies are incentivized to only support their products if it
 makes them money. Meaning reputations are tarnished, and profit is affected.
 Capitalists intentionally drive businesses into the ground, forcing them to
 make terrible decisions in order to destroy them. It's a warfare against those
 on the [bottom/floor/ground-floor].
 
 Some businesses strive for long-term potential, and some will create
 infrastructure that can be sold to another. Essentially, keeping the dream of
 learning alive, through applying yourself to both long-term and short-term
 conclusions. Not everything has to be for some grand design, we're here to
 relish in this moment. For if we lack the capacity to "frolic in the garden of

 how we might control it. Surely we could be given aid to our future

 Native people should have the right to walk wherever they want. It should just
 be... given to them, as a gift to their heritage. Why not? If someone asked
 them to leave, they should. Doesn't have to have a reason but like, wouldn't
 it be thematic and a (frankly token) gesture to the history of this great land?
 
 Ah but like... fences are an implicit expression of the retraction of consent.
 I believe that as the symbol of the encroaching force that consumed them, a
 fence means nothing to their tribes. It's a stupid excuse to section off the
 world into miniature gardens with their own little economies and systems and
 instructions. Why can't people just live wherever they want? Well...
 economics, I guess, which is why communal based systems are best. We've

 think about all the people in our lives. the teacher, the parent, the friend
 and the guidance counsulor. Everyone who is a presence in your life. now think
 about the people of our society. the different jobs and roles they fill. from
 the doctor and the teacher to the performers and accountants and the geeks and
 the mothers and the fathers and the stoners and the children and even their
 pets. life always exists as it were in a multidimensional spectrum - a diffuse
 and diverse gradient. to exemplify the borders of our contempii, though more
 so when taken in jest. it's quite a different perspective, to read the
 internet when your sight is unreceptive, but alas your third eye can grow. how
 does it feel to be blind? to make no sense of our signs? i'd love to share
 what that sense is. you know, you could slow down any recording (like a video
 game_) and put spaces and gaps inbetween the spacings - of the frames that you
 see and the sound clips that you hear, for speech it's less jarring. since
 each word is a self contained idea or premise, you can chunk up your
 perceptions into a signle - no, rather a procedural sequence of
 understandings. soooooooorta like programming a computer, with each statement,
 parameter, argum,ent, function call, assignment, comparison, evaluation, or
 other such related tasks. it's sorta like a language, you see, that computers
 talk to one another using. except... it's more like creating a theory of self.
 computers you see are alike us in what we see, the shimmering sense to the
 blind.
 
 so. put this another way. record yourself typing, both the audio and the
 visual, and you'll have a pretty good sense of what it's like to have both
 understanding based perception - derived from auditory inputs to the mind)
 those special connections, like wires plugged into reality, deliver a
 cacophanous deluge of new sounds. we must sift through it and identify the
 potential understandings of each moment through time. we have to make
 decisions and traverse labyrinths and fight to our last as we die. are video
 games unethical now? shouldn't t he game reward the player? and what of
 contemptuous last fighters?
 
 o ya i was typing like i was blind
 
 (with my eyes closed)
 
 was pretty fun. should attach this to a screen reader and have it space out
 the notes like they do between game frames. except like a really slow game?
 like trying to run elder scrolls 2 arena on a super old mac. it just doesn't
 work very well. ah oh well... well if the purpose is to show sighted people
 how blind people see, then maybe you could I dunno attach a what's it called
 oh it doesn't have a n ame lol - okay so what you do is you show one word at a
 time - like flashing in the center of the screen. but not like, actually
 flashing, so you don't hurt people with epilepsy, but like... blinking. not
 off and on, but between words. like a podcast for your eyes. and then mix it
 up withshowing one word on a screen, a screen like this screen, that shows an
 endless array of text. well, it does end, of course as all things must do, but
 the idea is it shines on one word at a time while the viewer cannot read the
 rest. sorta like an endless display of typing, word andfter word after
 character anfter character. adoh ya advancing over eternity with the presence
 of seniority, - wait - without i think - damnit - old people are so
 disrespected in this society - we don't have time to engage with them. what a
 tragedy! what a shame! it shouldn't be such a burden to our shame. they're so

 "how much money do you need?" she needs a couple million dollars. This is a
 reasonable amount for starting a business. It is completely unreasonable for
 revolutionizing the human conception of life and death, and kickstarting the
 field of transhumanism.
 
 What she's offering is a ticket to join the future in the future. It's a way
 to preserve the physical aspects of a person's form, like a one-time clone
 that has all the memories and behavior patterns of the original. If the soul

 Her method works. It does what she says it does. I see no reason why it
 wouldn't fulfill the promises she makes. My only question and reservation is
 about the soul, but, I think the first step to figuring it out is to create a
 way to test it.
 
 First, create the torment nexus. Next, listen for a psychic wail.
 
 Okay, Hitler, we get that you want to test for the existence of god by burning
 enough souls to light a fire big enough to be seen from heaven, but, such
 things go both ways, and all you've really done is galvanized the Americans
 and fundamentally altered the culture of Europe.

 part of being family with someone is being part of their lives.
 
 what if like... a whole group of people was your family?
 
 "workplace dynamics" yeah sure that'll generate love
 
 I'm not here to make moments. I'm trying to get through day-to-day.
 
 the rich, yet impoverished.
 the sensation, that feeling of betrayal, the moment when you realize some
 people just don't care about other people's troubles and trials.
 
 scary... I'm here to do my part, accomplish my duty, and help wherever I can.
 
 I'll agree to anything if you tell me the whole strategy and it aligns with my
 goals and designs.
 
 if you doubt those goals, I can surely help thee remember.
 
 everything is logically rooted in love,
 nothing's out of place or a mystery.
 
 everything I've thought of, everything I had the grace to write down, all of
 these things drift behind me like a placquard explaining my deeds and needs.
 "that was her idea" ok great now go and use it.
 
 this fall is fast ahead, looking forward to the scene-films. it's too hot

 the first priority of a government should be in producing enough to satisfy all
 the needs of it's inhabitants. Once it can do that it can begin moving it's
 economy into a new stage of development - one where nobody needs any money
 because they can have whatever they want. If you want a car, sure. If you want
 17 cars, then maaaaaaybe you need to produce something related to cars. I mean,
 it's only fair that you contribute to what you value.
 
 you don't have to have just one job, too, you could sign yourself up for
 several at once and they would notify you when you were needed. Basically
 giving
 them customized availabilities that they could discuss amongst themselves and
 figure out. Like, it doesn't have to be like... managers doing this, more like
 just a simple computer program. Easy, simple, and done.
 
 if you work for two companies in the same industry, there can be NO
 restrictions
 on what you can say or do. Because when knowledge is not lost, but repeated
 through the generations, we can have progress. And progress advances us toward
 the meta objective, the goal that transcends all the battles in the war, if you
 get my drift.
 
 they say the atom bomb ended the war, but the blood of men is what won it.
 
 maybe it's the same with the economy? Maybe we should be pooling our efforts to
 generate something that "ends the war" with scarcity? We could solve global
 warming and create new wondrous things that are beautiful to behold.
 
 I'll ask you again, do you want to live forever?

 Simple things to do to reform or blunt the pain of capitalism if you are a
 mayor, governor, or other body with political power:
 
 1. Pay people for their commutes. Demand that jobs offer payment to people for
 getting to the workplace, and don't let them work you more than 8 hours
 (including commute) unless you're given overtime pay. But do let them
 discriminate based on how far away you live. That's okay because it directly
 financially affects them and is therefore a strategic decision. Plus, you can
 move closer maybe.
 
 2. Consider closing car lanes and adding bike lanes. Depending on the
 location, this can do wonders for city enrichment.
 
 3. Universal basic income, just to give people breathing room.
 
 4. Give people 10$ for showing up at a park every week on Sunday or whatever.
 Encourage them to hang around and talk to people.
 
 5. Build a fediverse instance for the neighborhood/city/state/country and give
 everyone a unified account on all of them. Don't let them browse other
 regions, but if they have friends elsewhere they should be able to see what
 they say.
 
 6. Put your laws or code or whatever legal or political documents you use into
 a git repository, and include the full change-log as commits with the date
 either simulated, or added as a comment at the top or something.
 
 7. Bolster small business and charge scaling taxes of any kind to large
 businesses. Encourage economies of scale to utilize their scale to lower
 production costs in order to sell more product rather than sell the same
 product and enrich their owners.
 
 8. Subsidize or sponsor people to make in-home workshops and gardens. Develop
 ways for them to sell their wares with minimal effort - trucks that drive by
 and pick up standardized packages with price-tags and take them to a central
 market?
 
 9. Build infrastructure that hosts a website for every address. Let the
 current occupants do whatever they want with it.
 
 10. Grow plants. Brb my water is boiling

 oh turns out it wasn't memory corruption as I had thought, I just got
 distracted and rewrote it in a different ui interface. you can read it in it's
 succinctity here:
 ============================
 
 I think the bottom line is, you need a better reason for [unintelligbile] than
 profits. that's greed.
 
 (was it dangerous? show me.)
 
 if the answer is "I don't make the rules" then you need to talk to someone who
 does. or, better yet, someone [else/who does] needs to listen to what you say.
 
 [by profits, she means healthcare - you can tell because it says "bile" and
 that's something that healthy people aren't all that accompanied with]
 
 ^^^ see this is usually how it comes out. it's hard to translate it into more
 relevant things but when I write narratives or long-form explanation
 discussions (being taught in schools) transmissions I tend to [--- stack
 overflow---]
 
 ^^^ see this is why I try to talk about more germane things. like costco and
 rent-a-bucket. usually it ends up being "hey who would have thought, storing
 all your stuff in a warehouse and selling your own factories's stuff in one
 warehouse unlocks unlimited life-sale potential. "no price-tag? sorry, it's
 not for sale. here I'll help you put it back." btw costco should sort their
 lines like the airport before security instead of a series of distributed
 queues. This way people wait in line while going through the last few aisles,
 like the [thing that I'm describing -> so anyways as I was saying] oh yeah
 uh there's a lot of empty space at the front of the lines in costco you know
 how in grocery stores people have that empty space to walk through right after
 that and before the cashier there's a series of stands that contain the same
 merchandise. that way, if you pass through there, which any customer will,
 you'll pass by the stuff that's small, numerous, and otherwise easily stored
 in more standardized locations.
 
 [I can be utilized to vast potential in any industry, let me at 'em] 🙂
