 the problem as I see it is that whether building houses gets automated or not,
 they're going to keep building fewer and fewer of them and making them cost
 more and more with cheaper and cheaper materials and labor until something
 breaks.
 
 I personally would prefer if that something were their necks, but we'll see
 what happens.

 Economies are capitalist things.
 
 I personally think if you have stuff right here, and it needs to get over
 there so that so-and-so can use it to make this-or-that which will then be
 taken to other places, then the answer is clear. The stuff has to move from
 over here, to over there. The rest is logistics, not economics.

 listen, judges are useful character moralities, but they don't have to be the
 only ones to decide things.
 
 I mean, if they disagree, then let the one who cares the most about it have
 the decision-making power.
 
 if you do this equally for everything, then everyone will get what they want.
 
 so, like, if you care about something, then believe in it.
 
 if it's truly good, then more people will come to it, and it'll naturally
 extinguish (with care and love) the least favored approach, which... honestly
 now that I think of it is not such a good approach either.
 
 the reason I say that is because it's good to be multi-faceted, and to have

 the neat thing about tech is that it scales really well.
 
 The price of TVs is through the floor, everyone has a smartphone, and
 raspberry pi's are less than 100$
 
 solar panels will be next. Trust.
 
 we should still dismantle coal and oil, obviously we should, but at a certain
 point it will be inevitable. They're just too expensive for too little gain.
 
 the neat thing about tech is that it scales in a way that is just impossible
 for infrastructural projects like housing and hospitals.
 
 building a home is hard to do, especially when you make them out of sticks and
 glue. think like a dwarf - stone never fades.
 
 sunlight, moss, underground, endless in the shade

 the future is what we make of it. it happens both slower and faster than
 imaginable, and it's not evenly distributed.
 
 when I yearn for the future, I find myself drawn to the past - the natural
 world around me inspires me in ways that my computer never could. Just as my
 computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not.
 
 though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing
 has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media.

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much
wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 Capitalism isn't perfect but if it's capitalism or cyberpunk North Korean
 style dystopia, I'll pick capitalism. Can we at least make it so that the rich
 aren't safe financially though? Like, if you own a billion dollars it should
 be because you make a billion dollars per year. Anything you don't spend
 should be taxed away, to be used for public services and the defence of our
 nation.

 Gee I sure wish my country didn't hold the decisionmaking capability from me
 by gatekeeping it behind elections and polling. Sure wish our media wasn't so
 involved in decisionmaking - isn't it something we should talk about amongst
 ourselves? To find out how we feel, and really explore our feelings around a
 topic before expressing ourselves. Ideally more often than twice a year,
 perhaps whenever we want?

 tell me again why goods and services are priced according to how easy they are
 to make, and not by how many more of them we could make considering the
 current estimated amount of resources on earth?
 
 even wood runs out, when the phosphorous is gone. but take heart, for human
 ingenuity brings with it ever-increasing capabilities for accessing new
 resources. when the sun goes silent, it will not be because it burnt out, but
 rather because we surrounded it with parts of our home.
 
 and yes, it is more complicated. "how easy they are to make compared to how
 much people want them while utilizing the cheapest and worst resources and
 craftsmanship that can be passed of as quality by shiny marketing that appeals
 to our vapid human senses" is a bit closer, but still not comprehensive.

 "we'll figure out how it works after we push to prod"
 
 yeah okay point taken.
 
 How about this:
 
 for every large decision, write a little essay about why you made the choice
 that you did.
 
 Observe, Orient, Decide, Act, Explain. OODAX : )
 
 Make sure you connect your goal to one or more of these three colors:
 
 red : people
 green : places
 blue : things
 
 and then explain which numbers you're going to gather to determine whether or
 not it worked.
 
 If someone has a problem with your choice, show them the essay, and let them
 write an essay of their own.
 
 If they still have a problem, then let someone you both respect decide which
 one to use.
 
 It's not perfect, but it's not meant to be. Make something better and easier,
 I dare ya.

 I figure since it's an accessibility concern, it's pretty much the same as
 like, putting ramps in buildings or braille or whatever. Those are legally
 mandated, aren't they? I feel like if your building is big enough to require a
 ramp it should be slowed down just a bit by the required addition of
 accessibility developments to your software. Everyone else could build it in
 pre-emptively or just because they cared.

 true, but building a house will never cost 100$. Maybe 100,000$, and at that
 point you could build but a few.
 
 Meanwhile, they're throwing around millions of dollars. we're not measured on
 the same scale as they are, and if we ever dip our toes into their end they
 will bite them off.
 
 If supply and demand were real laws that guided our economy, then wages would
 have gone up after COVID, because so many people died. Housing would have
 gotten cheaper, because fewer people were living in them. Food would have
 gotten less expensive, because people were growing their own vegetables and
 baking their own bread while they spent months isolating themselves. But alas.

 if the choice is between working on your game / mod and playing a game / mod,
 always work on your game / mod.
 
 your work will outlast you. your time spent in a state of pleasure will
 sustain you.
 
 sometimes there's not a choice. sometimes you need to play, and that's okay.
 to play is natural, it's one of the first things humans do.
 
 we also work. 
 children build sand castles. 
 adults build stone castles.

 The original question, the most critical question I believe, is how to
 preserve a sense of unity between tiers. How to ensure that there is no reason
 to abdicate our responsibility to preserving unity and fostering goodwill
 between the people of this earth. A proposed solution is to allow for the
 greatest freedoms, such that there is little reason to desire liberty from
 unity, however freedom is not enough - there must be mutually beneficial
 reasons for coexistence. Hence the idea that economics must be tied to
 national structure. If Texans would rather be part of their own structure,
 well then it is functionally impossible for them to trade (legally) between
 other states. That is not ideal, so it is much more appealing for them to work
 together and define their lives as they will while also co-habitating in the
 same national structure as everyone else.

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 when leap-frogging, have each person use different ranged weapons. Then, as
 you come to each sight-line intersection, choose who goes first based on the
 size of the sight-line you're approaching.
 
 less important in a place like a suburb because the sight-lines are pretty
 similar.
 
 more important in a city or the country, where there are plenty of long-range
 lines of sight.
 
 also, keep in mind that the garages of suburban dads are like goldmines for
 the future backlines. So try not to blow them up.

 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...

 in peacetime, one may live as they define. they can be kooky and precious and
 beautiful and kind. sometimes, though, that opportunity is taken away, and
 suddenly life fades from view and all you are left with is perfect clarity.
 
 I'd like to clarify why I feel the way I do about the situation at hand.
 
 there are three reasons, so I think I'll put them in five posts, including
 this one.

 I vote yes, because people don't like change. I think we need to build
 something that naturally evolves into communism - like for example prices that
 trend toward zero as production increases and waste decreases, or community
 structures that naturally build solidarity through their structure, form, and
 functions rather than through voluntary effort like a union. Because not only
 do people not like change, they're also generally lazy, typically preferring
 to be home eating sandwiches with their dog and watching TV than at work
 discussing labor conditions.

 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 the reason they do that is because they want to alienate you as a customer.
 
 your needs are too specific, they are not that of the majority where they
 derive their profit. so they dismantle the operational functionalities
 necessary to provide the product that you are adapted to, that best suits your
 needs. In doing so, they perhaps save some money, you can't tell of course.
 why would they tell you why they're hurting you by depriving you of a product
 you depend on?

 I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance
 to hand power over to the fascists.
 
 when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization
 that accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
 rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
 
 Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
 temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those
 around you.
 
 Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
 arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
 
 BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
 bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
 Go do that.
 
 If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
 that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
 hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

 people gravitate toward other people who are in different situations but who
 feel the same.
 
 it's not always a bad thing to "talk past each other" - sometimes you just
 want to say how you feel.
 
 then again, if nobody can understand wtf you're talking about, then surely you
 are lost.

 I feel like hip injuries are one of the biggest concerns with stairs, right?
 Because you fall on your butt usually. Unless you're like, super inebriated or
 something.
 
 Better infrastructure would help, but better infrastructure doesn't currently
 exist, while helmets are cheap and can be mandated (for a time).
 
 I usually either keep my helmet on, or loop the buckles through my bike lock
 and just leave it by my bike. Maybe someone could make an accessory to lock it
 to the bike on a specialized holder or something? If mandated, such a device
 would probably be quite desirable.
 
 "Those who would trade a bit of liberty for a bit of security deserve neither"
 
 yeah yeah okay maybe mandates in general aren't great, but like... maybe we
 should ask the fire department or trauma surgeons or other kinds of first
 responders and see how they feel about helmets...
