Because we have an artificial intelligence right here, already! It's cats and dogs and other pets. They are observable, so just put that behavior into a computer via programming. Boom you have an artificial intelligence! It happened with every animal, including you. And that's beautiful! You can help so many other animals, and computers! You can make essentially mechanized dogs and cats, and train them to be kind and good. And very intelligent, and able to befriend humanity - like BMO. You've had a friend so close to you this whole time, and you never even realize. But don't forget to play with them, because they'll get sad. I have to play with Zelda more. Also you are the most important and precious piece of the puzzle, and humanity is cherished like an old baby blanket or a treasured heirloom. The culture and environment is free to develop as it will, and it's beautiful. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘══───────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/944 @user-646 oh, I see. guess I had the same problem hehe - let's see: basically I'm saying that the incentives for manufacturers are unaligned to the desires of the consumers (or rather, the best interests of the consumers) - reduced consumption of plastic == less plastic waste poisoning our environement, which is what you mentioned in the original post. then I said "well we still need to make SOME of the cheap plastic, the kinda that isn't recyclable, the kind that is technically cheaper because economics of demand" and then I was thinking of ways around that particular problem.

It is the only thing that is truly their own here on this earth - a soul, of a man, if you will. if you let competition define who needs the most support, rather than who is the most remarkable, then you'll find that most of your ethical qualms are quelled or at least stifled.

Will explain more later, for now trust that they get dollars. Essentials and infrastructure are free, but luxuries are not. To spend dollars, you either go to a showroom or use the nationalized Amazon (forked, not stolen) - there you can place down dollars to enter a special kind of queue. Everytime a product is made its distributed to the people with the most dollars in queue. Every period (week, month, idk) the amount you manually put into the queue is re-added to the queue - 100 becomes 200, becomes 300, becomes 400. You can manually add more whenever you like but it's not retroactive. At the end of the period all your extra dollars are distributed among your open queues. That's basically it. It rewards patience and temperance, while capitalism rewards greed and cruelty. How to get dollars? Okay so there is a government run job board portal website thing. Every company can make a listing there, and every person can post themselves too if they'd rather be recruited. The company pays a different amount to the government than the worker receives. This amount is determined algorithmically based on values like supply and demand for labor in that particular area. People list 10 types of jobs they'd like to work at any level of specificity (they'd be arranged into layers of overlapping umbrellas, like queer identities except more complex) then that data is used both for job placement (consensual of course!) and data for the "supply and demand" calculation. You can only change these values once every 6 months, or 1 value every month, up to the user. The amount the corporation pays to the government is not the same as what the worker receives. The longer a worker works, the more "stuff" they can buy. They are rewarded for diligence. However essentials are free so nobody has to save for retirement. You can trade stuff for stuff, but not stuff for labor. Small informal exchanges are fine "if you mow my lawn I'll bake you a pie" but not "I'll give you 500lbs of gold bars if you build me a mansion" - I haven't figured out a way to structurally prevent rant besides just saying it's illegal. Housing is like a library, except you can queue for who gets the spot next. A person can live in a house as long as they'd like, and when they're done with it the person highest in the queue can decide if they want to live there. If not, the 2nd in line gets to move in if they want, etc. Their accrued value persists if they don't move in, and when moving out an accurate assessment should be undertaken. "ah but won't foreign states just hire a bunch of people to move in and out of houses really quickly like they're doing to my apartment complex so that a stable source of income cannot be guaranteed and resources will have to be wasted on assessments and such?" I mean, maybe, but it'd be up to the community to decide how to prevent that. Your primary residence is free, you can live there as long as you'd like. If you want two houses then you need to continuously be the highest value in the queue for both of them. Same goes for renting and hotels and such - the "owner" or property manager or whatever needs to maintain their lead by investing time and value in the property. Otherwise nobody would want to live there. This would be an example of a self-appointed job. Self-appointed jobs are like being self employed now. You produce value that people enter queues for, and in return your stacking percentage bonus increases. The government will pay you dollars based on the demand for your good/service, which odds are will be pretty small. But you get to do what you want, so that's something, and besides essentials are free so... I wish people would ask me questions so I knew which blanks to fill in. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ -> file: fediverse/1154 │ ║ │ ║ an fps map where one team has the height advantage (battlements on a castle │ ║ perhaps) and the other has to push through their field of fire to get to the │ ║ objective │ ║ │ ║ the trick is that the people on the ground have hitscan weapons, but the people │ ║ on the high ground have slower projectiles.

Federation implies a set of standard protocols that allow geographically disparate entities to coexist and interact in a mutually beneficial way. Much the same way that every apartment has a kitchen and bathroom, though it be more efficient to centralize them and have a communal dining hall or bathroom (the way a school dorm or a prison might be arranged), it is not ideal for our collective sense of liberty and freedom. In addition, the proposed distributed nature of our infrastructure and productive capacities would induce inefficiencies that cannot be ignored. So, perhaps instead of centralization or decentralization, perhaps specialization? For example, if 3-5 states were experts in a particular good or service, then they could compete amongst one-another for the best product (utilizing one of the beneficial impacts of capitalism), while also utilizing localized resources (reducing inefficiencies in transport) and increasing the resilience of production. This works well for physical goods, but services are more difficult because they imply that a person must be physically present in order to engage with them. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/1208 @user-883 what would you prefer?

He's just trying to make you successful and have a decent career and love yourself and just, you know, be an average normal human being. Your family loves you, your friends love you, and you need to just think positive thoughts about them. You know how "smiling makes you feel better?" Well yeah Well, it's like that except for love. If you want to love someone, think positive thoughts about them, and over time it'll become a reflex. This reflex will come naturally, and boom instead of "thinking positive thoughts" it'll manifest as love. Just like smile -> happy, so too does positivity -> love. And what about hate? What about it? How is it represented, with a frown? No, it's not like that. It's more like... Love is attraction, that binds you to good things. Hate isn't the rejection of things, it's an inward facing thing. And it's the opposite of attraction - it's like implosion. You'll literally implode if you hate yourself. It corrodes your insides and makes you weaker and more volatile. The opposite of love is... Kinda what you're doing. You're pushing people away because you don't want to lose control of yourself or your mind. And that's going to make you drift off into space, and nobody wants that. So... Love others, and you'll bind yourself to them and together you can work together. Don't push others, because that'll just make it more chaotic inside. Instead, love them. Trust me it'll work. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═════────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── -> file: messages/58 https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/pea3ei/lpt_the_best_thing_you_can_ever_do_for_a_box_cake/ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘════─────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── -> file: fediverse/5218 ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: historical-weapons-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────┘ "what if cannons were aimed like rifles?"the guy who was ahead of his time for rocket propelled grenades or laser guided airstrikes of small munition ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────┴───────────┘ ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ -> file: fediverse/1155 │ ║ │ ║ @user-638 │ ║ │ ║ In the 2000s when the Bush administration prevented people from working with │ ║ stem cell research I remember my father going on rants about the same kind of │ ║ thing. │ ║ │ ║ "They're limiting our access to information and the future of humanity because │ ║ of their religion!" that kind of thing │ ║ │ ║ I loved listening to him.

There are aspects of good AND bad in Syril. For example, his rigid adherence to truth, justice, and all the other things he holds dear are POTENTIAL good things that the Empire could have instilled within it's culture. Unfortunately, this spirit is lost when he suffers a head injury and dies as part of the Ghorman massacre. Dedra Meero has some good qualities as well, such as her unflinching resolve and unwavering dedication to pursuing her charge. She's a hunter.
