I liked Jacque Fresco and his ambition for his venus project but he's blind to politics/human nature. Neil Degrasse Tyson also wrote a short thing about putting scientists in charge of resource allocation instead of a market economy and was equally blind. What they both ignore in their utopianism is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture Meaning once you set up your resource based economy, it would only be a matter of time until the bad elements figure out how to infiltrate the system of authority (merit based systems aren't immune to this). The Venus project just insists that scientists aren't corruptible and since positions of authority would only be given to scientists, it would just work. Overall it's a good idea but doesn't solve for corruption.

hang in there jackie. I was voted out of a house unanimously before. It's a really sucky feeling.

yea mine too

besides weed? vomiting

Exactly that's a big part of the inequality. It's still only 60% of the world that has internet access.

Widespread crypto adoption would exponentially worsen wealth distribution. You can't get away with saying "crypto doesn't address wealth inequality" as if to imply it would have a neutral effect on it. There's absolutely no bigger threat to it.

PAUSE OK

I just put them in the oven to make them toasty

five guy’s buns always so wet and feeble

I was thinking about the pigeons again today bc when i was on the page for this thread before I saved this pic bc funny but that got me thinking about it again. And the races they put on between pigeons carrying physical media and the network cables. The pigeons actually won usually bc physical media being carried has hella bandwidth. Like if you pick up a 1tb hard drive and movie it, your bandwidth for the trip was 1 tb over time. So I imagined in the future there might be super fast drones that carry packages of physical media along certain internet routes. It would work

For downtime contemplation / extended sabbatical I recommend you go to the cheapest place that you can be safe at wherever that is. and if anyone bullies you again.. send me their social medias… Fear will keep them in line

me too and also years of drug and alcohol abuse

I wanted to hear about your asshole not your ex

DNA could be the first human network maybe. Two people talking makes a conversation that you can have a transcript of. If the two people never met/spoke, neither could create the transcript on their own. So reproduction is two sets of information interacting and creating a new set of information which changes the state and structure of the DNA network.

I’ll come back to it one day. It was still a good show

now I'm thinking of the Afghani data dealers that sell the internet on the streets by hand https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/11/26/1040459/afghanistan-sneakernet-content-dealers-kars-taliban I wonder if any of my scenes ever made it to a viewer this way

i didnt finish it

I’m finally losing it. Or whatever was left of “it” to lose… I was sitting here posting on my phone and I thought I heard and felt my phone vibrate somewhere else like someone texted it so I reached around trying to find my phone while still staring into the screen of my phone Also sometimes I catch my brain trying to tell my hand to pinch-zoom physical photographs like it’s a touchscreen

It looks good. I’m def gonna check it out thanks 😋 Thing about the internet tho, if the world were going to be a big brain/gaia , it would already be one way before the internet. The internet would just be an upgrade. Think of the printing press as an upgrade in bandwidth and encoding time but not speed since ppl still had to carry the info manually to each other. Information theory isn’t going to care how the data gets there. Like how they sent network packets via carrier pigeons as a joke. Or Brian in family guy telling the zoomer girl that a book is “the internet made out of a tree.”

yay! but now I don't want it Now I want a different thread

similar but alil more cynical than my spirits of the electroverse theory. And I've never seen that amine

I don’t wanna talk about work rn
