Mob rule sucks. However Kropotkin would correctly point out that, in representative democracy, as soon officials are elected their opposite candidates are prey. Direct democracy prevents this, IE two sides disagree with each other & coe

No matter how good one's ground is, lots of LSD in a city apartment will likely drive you crazy. I never have had a bad trip, except for that time I took 800 mu-g GG in my tiny apartment. I became insanely restless, waking up 12 hours

I think today one can do heck more than anyone has ever had been able to do; but this is very personal. I could spend literally billion years on ThinkPad programming. ALSO this makes me feel extremely sad, for collective species of humanity

A museum of the cryonized brains of celebrities, perhaps behind AR screens giving them eyeballs and mouths and feet and hands, would be great. The costs of mainteinance would be partly from gov. subsidies and partly from visitors and partly

Example gratia, last statement is approximately equivalent to "I guess computer science is infeasible." But it is not; the fact that Debian UNIX running programming languages of the sort that are used today exist proves that we ha

The general concept is limited "command line" as means of giving a single agent agency without the need to program every integration separatively. The AGI version is "command line" also enabling the agents to communicate

The title is made by a person with very bad taste: Dijkstra would have given a different name to the title had he got a chance to return to past and his attitude to person writing articles about CSS would probably have been despising largel

I feel skeptical; except abuse of worst nature; and do not care enough to comment coherently. A future lives around me. Yet what to Dan means a better model, distantly brings to mind the four conveyor belts from: https://archive.

I did not intend it as a serious point. However, the Zuboffian trade that you mention will end in most of the species having no autonomy left to trade for comfort, completing a historical trend: land ownership for service access, self-suffi

The distinction between a pet and a cattle is that the cattle the owner has a dependency to but a pet may one can dispose at will. To the treatment of pets I would say that the treatment has less relevance than the complete stripping of aut

The most correct use for this analogues of owners, hermits and pets is as tool of desconstructing the cyberpunk genre. It's no longer human culture in animal nature; but owner culture in anthroposcenic nature. What happens when one tha

As an occultist, I would recommend you to read The Initiated Interpretation of Ceremonial magic and realize that blaming the devil can be highly rational; for were one bad at articulating themselves, would it make sense to blame themselves

Further analogy: Holding $100 US dollar bill in front of the pets, one can make them do lots of tricks. The pets are willing; like dogs that want to play, they will send tons of CVs to potential owners and give do anything to gain advantage

The end game is that average human becomes a pet. Horses weren't needed and they became pets; same for average human. This can only happen perfectly if the manufacturers eventually start to come after those who are self-reliant, which

Mental health research feels silly to me. When humans are put to live in small apartments and pushed their entire lives to obey the BUY and VOTE commands, they will of course go insane. It's questionable whether anything can be done ab
