  • It’s simple:

    Beat the population into learned-helplessness,

    & then all the AI molestingware that the device can run, can be running in it.

    Desensitization/enforced-learned-helplessness.

    It’s just a conditioning-step, is all.

    The profit is in having the population not have any privacy left, & living only within the neuromarketing-platforms that the mainstream operating-systems are becoming.

    It’s just a step in the suckerpunching humankind, is all.

  • I’m suggesting you invest in reading a book on https://www.LeanPub.com called “Algebra-Driven Design”.

    the reason I’m suggesting it is that the complex-requirements you’re being persecuted-by, are exactly the sort of thing that that book can help with.

    ( I’m presuming you code )

    By creating the domain’s algebra, & using meta-programming, you can prevent whole categories of bugs.

    I only got part-way into the book ( I’m braindamaged, & have beenfailing to learn programming since the 1980’s, when I lost 1/10th of my brain-volume ), but being able to create an APi with ZERO bugs in it, is part of what I’d seen in that book.


    I’m a huge believer in keeping requirements divided into dimensions, & keeping those dimensions orthogonal, because once you fail in doing that, you’re fscking doomed.

    Here: got the link for you:

  • To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )

    & altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.

    ( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )

    so, I can’t understand your position.

    Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.

    Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.






  • A question to consider, in the frame-of-reference of these 10:

    What are the rights of rabies-virus?

    It is a form of life, so it must have rights, then, yes?

    Smallpox?

    Ebola?

    Bloodworms?

    Cancer?


    Malfunctions happen, chaotically: including malfunctions in genetics, in evolution, in ecology, etc.

    Sometimes correction is required.

    Within an individual, within a population, or within an entire-ecology.

    This 10 doesn’t allow that.

    ( also, it is life, not existence, which is the fundamental-validity: lumps of lead exist, they aren’t living )


    just the opinions of an autistic rando, is all:

    pay no attention to meanings of mine.



  • Decades ago, I discovered that there are 4 dimensions that need to be covered, in balance, in community news:

    • the Strategic issues, 7+y as a rough guideline, for significance
    • the Tactical issues, 1-3y as a rough guideline
    • the little Pervasive annoyances that never get given a headline, but are a “tax” on people’s wellbeing
    • Grow The Good!! community, culture, accomplishments, anchoring people’s hope, humanity, validity, etc.

    Leaving-out any 1 of those 4 dimensions has long-term costs.


    this is just what one autist discovered, it doesn’t mean you have to think there’s any validity in the concept.



    1. insightful question,

    2. it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.

    “once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”

    A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).

    It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.

    Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.

    Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…

    The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.

    “Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.

    It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.

    Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??

    Do it.

    Everybody do it.

    Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.

    I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.

    There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.

    No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?

    Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.

    1984, but for-profit.

    Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.


  • Light.

    Absolutely stupendous quantities of high-quality, full-spectrum light.

    Live in a light-box.


    There is a circuit which goes from pigmented-ganglia ( black-pigmented nerve-endings ) in our retinas, into our brains.

    That sensor-system is rather dull, unlike the rods & cones.

    Rig a room’s light-switch so that when you flick it, suddenly you’re saturated in sufficient light to cross your light-threshold, about 1/2 second later, it’s like vital aliveness kicked into your brain.

    I’ve replicated the experiment, and I’ve gotten others to do it, too.

    One non-obvious thing, though:

    Because when we’re in the dark, we can’t remember what it felt-like to have that light-brain circuit activated ( the SAD-treatment lights are intended to cross this threshold: it’s the same mechanism ), so therefore, to treat profound, long-term depression, you NEED to get tons of lights onto a timer, & use that as your “alarm clock”.

    It works.

    It’d save many lives, if doctors would admit it is actual, evidence-based medicine, but that’d gut billions of dollars of psychiatric-industry, so … that won’t ever happen.

    ( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: I remember the grudge/hatred when the Australian researcher violated psychiatry’s established “ulcers are a psychiatric illness” dogma, with evidence showing that ulcers are created by pylorii bacteria.

    Paychiatry won’t ever do the experiment, they won’t admit it works, they won’t tolerate anybody claiming it works, etc.

    Religion is religion, and my autistic-empiricism has no validity in their reality.

    Do the experiment, though, & you’ll see that it actually tests to be true. )



  • My comment isn’t on your script, it is on paper-selection…

    Please have several, orthogonal, selection-systems:

    • most-cited,

    • most trustworthy researchers

    • most unique area of research, or most unique question, or something

    • most central to new tech

    • most central to old tech

    • most undernoticed, big potential… ( things that should be big news, but the global novelty-addiction ignores it )

    • best fundamental science ( definitely include this category! )

    • best citizen-science

    etc…

    iow, the algorithm that most use, which is “paying attention to what others are paying attention to” is an algorithm we shouldn’t be assigning our viability to, you know?

    Also, you may need to make a flexible-limit for dumbing-down, as some papers may have a higher limit and others a lower limit, so some could be easy for most to get the sense of, but some might be tricky … and it might well do more good to let them have their different thresholds, see?

    • they said that it shows the emission of electromagnetic energy has the same cause, but didn’t explain what that cause is…

    • they said that magnetars don’t emit energy all the time, so we had to catch them when they did emit: that is false: we have to catch them when they’re emitting at us, which is a very-different frame-of-reference.

    Also, if the things are neutron-stars, then how the hell can they even have any electromagnetic field?

    Neutrons are neutral.

    It must be a crust of non-neutron protons & electrons, or the plasma swirling in, or something, that’s producing the electromagnetic field…

    No need to bother commenting on anything I say:

    just random thoughs flitting through a deteriorating old brain…


  • it is called “establishing ownership”.

    Once their identity is consolidated that way,

    then they can enforce their certain-in-their-own-unconscious ownership of Asia, through any violence necessary.


    You can see equivalent self-dishonesty in the West, & you can see it in Modi’s delusion that Russia is going to help them against China, even through Russia is financially now a vassal-state of China…

    Once the economy guts the Democrats in the US, losing them the 2024 election, & Trump guts NATO, backs Russia & Saudi Arabia,

    what is going to protect Asia from China’s smashing it like they did Tibet?

    7 years from Trump’s coronation ( in 2025 ) is all Asia has left, it seems.


    Establishing ownership is fundamental to bullying, btw: rodents do it, sneaking into places at night, so that they feel righteous when fighting for “their” new territory during the day…

    I hadn’t understood that bullying had both a yin/molesting/violating phase & a yang/overt-bullying phase until rodents taught me how it’s done…

    The governments who push privacy-violating laws & systems, then later stomp civil-rights, they are demonstrating exactly the same Pattern.

    The religions who push for “some” control of everybody’s life, relentlessly pushing for “a little more” authority, then once a tipping-point is crossed, suddenly they can switch from yin-bullying to yang-bullying … same thing.

    It’s a really common pattern throughout human history, lately…


  • There is a positive-feedback-loop of culture-polarization, prejudice, ideology-addiction, and identity-formation, that is getting activated more & more & more, now, globally…

    I’m using amazon.com links so you can read the reviews, not to recommend them as where you buy books from. ( Bookwyrm isn’t populated enough to default to them, yet )

    https://www.amazon.com/Tribal-Leadership-Revised-Leveraging-Organization-ebook/dp/B006IDG1K6/

    identifies the 5 culture-levels/modes.

    Once you’ve read that, you’ll realize that humankind is being pushed lower & lower on the scale.

    Level-2 breeds conspiracism, because it is beneath Level-3’s narcissism-culture ( and narcissistic sociopathic authority has become a cultural-addiction to the point of being social-status ).

    https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman-ebook/dp/B00555X8OA/

    is a book on the 2 mind-functions/categories, which he calls System-1 & System-2.

    System-1 is ( in my opinion ) Limbic mind ( herdbeasts have it ), whereas System-2 is deliberate & considered thinking…

    The lower in the 5 culture-processes a person is, the less System-2 they exercise.

    Throw-in an ocean of economically-enforced Attachment Disorder, saturating entire-generations ( parents couldn’t afford to be present & to parent their kids, consequences implacably grow ),

    and you’ve got the feedback-loop to guarantee the nonviability of humankind.

    Escalation will continue, and the Dark Pentad, as I call it ( the professionals don’t accept that it is 5D )

    Narcissism/Machiavellianism/Sociopathy-Psychopathy/Nihilism/Sadism continues grabbing more power, as the System-1’s pseudo-thinking enforces more reacting, and Dark Pentad capitalizes on that…

    It’s quite elegant, when you consider how efficient it is at guaranteeing The Great Filter’s extinguishing of our kind…

    Frustrating & depressing, but elegant as hell.

    Notice that Russia’s Learned Helplessness culture “gets even” through nihilism & sadism, as the myriad torture-operations strewn throughout Wagner territory & Ukraine both demonstrate…

    Putting the harm on others is, for people oppressed long-enough ( like the Russian people deformed in Leninism & beneath the oligarchy/dictatorship ) a survival mechanism, psychologically.

    So, as multiple forces/factions work at breaking human-worth/values from having any say in the rule/operation of our world, … the lashing-out ( mass-shootings are now at more than 2x per day, in the US ), the nihilism ( common in Level 1 culture ), the sadism, all multiply themselves AND multiply each-other…

    Think of it as multiple “bulls” battering heads, to see who gets to be the “god bull”…

    Legalism is one of them, materialism/moneyarchy is another, class-based-validity is another, authority worship is another…

    Notice that humanitarianism isn’t one of the contenders fighting for planetary dominion…

    Another thing, is to be able to switch between the apparent view, the political view, and the system view…

    Islamist totalitarian authoritarianism & Zionist totalitarian authoritarianism both are totalitarian authoritarianism.

    So, politically they are enemies, but they both are committed to breaking the world to their totalitarian authoritarianism.

    Every country has such … puppets … of the 4 false-religions.

    ( legalism, materialism/moneyarchy, class-based-“validity”, and authority-worship, are the 4 false religions )

    When the economy collapses, you’re going to see a sudden & immense tilt from the current careful-thinking/considered world, that we live in in fall 2023, into a deranged, aggressive, polarized & violent System-1 world, & fascism will be gaining supremacy pretty-much everywhere, globally.

    “Big Think” on yt has a good vid on the 10 behaviours of fascism.

    This, too, is expressing PunctuatedEquilibrium, the Pattern which expresses at all scales throughout Universe…

    E.g. of PunctuatedEquilibrium

    { Big Bang, itself; CMB; stages in a star’s life, like ignition, red-giant, collapse, & detonation/nova; our planet’s oxygenation, termination of dinosaurs, other mass extinctions, the creation of our Moon, much of human history’s battles & treaties, birth, graduation, marrying, employment, injury, death, electron-shell energy-states, atomic-decay, galaxy-collision, … }

    We’re simply unconsciously enforcing that our toddler-nature get to be the only controller of our world’s fate/viability/“vehicle”, and ratcheting ourselves into the Tantrum of Tantrums, jacked with & backed by all the military, industrial, propaganda/Leninism/Murdochism ( he remapped Leninism from left to right, used TV instead of “education”, and we call it “populist dictatorship” instead of “proletariat dictatorship”, but it’s fundamentally identical in method ), and every other enforcement-of-non-reasoning/enforcement-of-non-consideration/enforcing-of-non-objectivity.

    Species-puberty, iow.

    It’ll be interesting to see if any survive this century.

    So, the nonthinking automatic aggression, the narcissistic System-1, and the machiavellianism, that you’re seeing now, should be significantly eclipsed by what it turns into, as soon as the context gets worse.
