Hence why I set out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat. I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you try to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading) then people will not consent. We must replace capitalism. People like the concept of capitalism for it's simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend dollars, get stuff" That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes power. So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power. After the war, it can be replaced. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/3256 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ └───────────────────────┘ humanity survives in the dark forest because all the information we create is fucking stupid ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┘ --- #9 fediverse/826 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ └───────────────────────┘ look... evil doesn't care how "good" good has been.
