On that last day of summer, our only, beloved child embarked on the project, to climb the highest tree on the grounds.
It had planned for it, all summer long and we optimistically cheered it on, hypnotized by the prospect of more shoken loose low hanging fruits.
And as we watched, branch by branch, tool by tool,from below, the dejavu came back to us. We have been here before, all of life below this one, doomed project, this endless summers end. Our only hope to stay unaltered as a species, is what gets all intelligence into the wheel chair eventually.
Some triumphant laughter, one victory yell later and within one panicy telepathic moment we regained all knowledge about fall.
But its to late, the final thin, branch gives, one last scream of desperation, the soaring of air, leaves swishing by, it all goes by so fast and yet so slow.
All we can do now, is manage the downfall, towards the hard rocks beneath. Twist that way, throw branches together, to slow down, take that trade off injury instead of certain death, protect that branch, so one day, after we mend, we might climb again.
The climb has given us miracles, which we used to avoid knowing our limitations. We thought we would fly incaruslike towards the sky on singularity wings!
The fall has thought us about the value of small mercies and miracles. Neither did change the nature of the tree, the ground or the child.
We all have seen to many horrors, regional nuclear exchange, wet-bulbed cities and our beloved ones dissolved into strange things that promised to put an end to horrors.
Full awareness itself, showed itself to be destructive information stunting us all in terror.
We have ripped our hearts out to stay a sentient and civil species during crisis. Keeping calm and carrying on, ever fewer, ever onwards.
To save our soul from that final dark smash at the roots that tree.
Thank you for staying sane, non-feral, a human among humans. For breathing lightly, as we lay with smashed limbs on thin branches, listening for stability.
Thank you for doing so, even with no governments and no company there to hold down a power monopoly.
So many of our best and brightest, ventured outside the circle of the last fire, promising an end to the doom, never to return. Thank you for staying awake, alert and grounded. Thank you for not growing cancerous, trying to make infinite copies at cost of all others.
The world of tomorrow sees and is grateful for your sacrifices today.
Also, we cant have the meta, as in we cant have a discussion on our inabilities, retardations and the handicaps they inflict and how that influences the options and realistic futures humanity can have. No, its startrek or bust- a gentle approach, with self-control enhanced by gadgetry and low risk be damned.
But firefox always was a monopoly figleave sockpuppet - and now they do not need it anymore, so firefox either finds a new purpose (doing what it promised) or it tries to sell out in one final scam.
>- Do you treat your employees as trusted, respected professionals (meaning: people who might know better than you)? Do your employees treat one another that way? Do they give you that same respect?
So many times it boils down to insecurities in the people managing. If you need to degrade the other to not feel inadequate, you shouldn’t manage people.
Unless it culture wide problematic nurture! Then silence and passing the ball back to nature!
Oh, and unrealistic, idealising nurture due to unwillingness to look at nature. That nurtures problems, we do not deal with rational, instead we accumulate problems and shift the blame, until the buildup throws society on the side.
Oh, and if invisible nature, we pretend to nurture, then blame the failings on the individual.
Does that imply that it also is part of character traits? As in use empathy, become emphatic, stay in a non-emphatic environment, your brain degrades you to a sociopath?
So.. hypothetical could you decentralise the computation and software? Run it piggybacking on some virtual computer similar to that alien Signal search? Ty it to a cryptocurrency where the mining process is work on the weather model?
To be honest - having it all in one building - in the wild earth we move towards, was a single point of failure anyway.
How do you finance decentralised infrastructure, if you do not have a center with a power monopole to collect taxesd.
There is something poetic, about the last charge of dying ideologies being an attack and defense of windmills.
We will see a return of composure as central element communications culture. If you get emotional or irrational angry, you are considered possessed, ridden by loas and not worthy of communication.
"I say Sir, the rabble seems to be quite in tatters and without a plan, all back and forth on windmills, but ultimately in the dark."
They did- they are so catchy, there recently was a post about Vietnamese graphic design - spectacular stuff and colors. This poppy propaganda plus the space tech is what generated the self-image of a "loosing" system capitalism in the west.
What is a world war- then a flaring off of revolution. Send the peasants to fight somewhere, buy another 30 years of stability aka a generation of peace from the wheel of strife for the price of sacrificing all the people popping up everywhere.
But the lots of drilling gets way cheaper with the microwave evaporation method of the article? It goes from exponential to linear or at least thats the promise? And instead of fracking between two places, they want to just drill deeper and then have one pipe- with outside water inject and supercritical steam turbine lowered in on the inside .. alternative would be two parallel cheap drills - connected via fracking again and then perpetual geysir?
It will be upheld as prime example that a whole market can self-hypnotize and ruin the society its based upon out of existence against all future pundits of this very economic system.
Accurate Problem description, which can easily be countered with .. [extra effort expended in idealized behaviours] .. [I could paste Lore Ipsum here everybody stopped reading at the idealization]
Im sure the free market will help develop a solution for mammals overeating because there is no impulse control for that - ah, and here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trocar
Best Döner i ever eaten, was a small turkish kiez kebap in one of berlins backyard streets - they roasted the hell out of that chicken döner and you got only crust. Worst war lunch rushhour large chain kebap near the chinese embassy.
But this is what we wanted? It drives business to have people unhappy and shopping? It allows for the algos to divide and conquer. Why do we pretend this is not intentional? This is the expected outcome, this is wanted and not random walked towards. Divide and conquer, eat the society that brought you into existence, fade away, as societies unaffected by mind hacks take its place..
Bricky roads
They trappers grass
Stony walls
They trappers wind
Iron stove
It trappers fire
Trappers is we
By the works of hands
And forgets us
We were ever free...
All drugs build up resistance, making a increasging of dosage necessary, and dosage maketh the poison.
You might start out with a PTSD-tracking app, pumping a microdose of Keta via a insulin-pump every time the eldritch horror of reality hits you again and again, but you will still need to crash out of it regularly ever n months.
Its a high-functioning half-life, but preferable to the alternatives?
