To construct anything socially, boundaries or islands, are required protected from the rest of the universe. Globalization, or the interconnecting of all kinds of societies and social constructs, within and across national boundaries, has t

Besides simple rules the other requirement is Altruism. Everyone in the colony takes care of the children of one queen. Can you imagine the chimp troupe doing any such thing? Siblings will kill each other and their kids rather than do that.

Internet is broke man. Real fun starts when drones and missiles start targeting infra of the financial system (central banks/banks/stock market/land registries/insurance/pension funds). Thats when we realize how bro

Babies don't come installed with those brains. They take a decade or two to pick up most skills that have any value. And after all that, the vast majority end up playing replaceable support npc roles. What's the energy consumptio

Finance is the missing skill that the Google founders didnt have. That was the flaw in the plan. They had to defer to others. Thats how one dimensional super optimizers leak into the system and change were the tracks are laid. Throw in the

Well the plebs are all in debt and have no cash to steal. They are already being exploited to the hilt by every mindless over optimizing corporate robot. Its how the Elite are reacting to their data floating around is what should be focused

The backlash is the norm in history. Info asymmetry can't be "solved" when different groups mentally start diverging having different models of reality in their head. This is happening much faster than in the past with access

Its not depth. Its just a landfill. The easier it has gotten for people to publish software, the more the wasteland has grown. No end in sight. I used to contribute to firefox. But have reached the stage where I have uninstalled the browser

We have 8 billion people on the planet. And there is no plan what so ever to take care of even half of them. It doesn't matter if we see slowing population growth. With globalization there is no reason to be sitting in the same spot. P
