1 billion is not that much money.

my first question was: woe the hell is Heather Cox Richardson?

Ah, a historian. poor girl. doomed to never get the truth until ...

I had app and platform ideas in 2018 that would have brought quite a bit of a ruckus to the civil and CSR industry and a few game ideas that I still have not seen on the market but I also haven't talked about them so maybe that's the issue.

I have 2 or 3 practically finished screenplays on the level of movies that broke box office records . never talked about them either. neither was of any of it ever in any notes.

I babble a lot. just to bring the intentions of others to the surface.

I have ideas all over the place.

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS.

it's not gonna be a traditional unicorn.

there's gonna be an overarching narrative that's still missing, but that person won't focus on software. there's too many outs when people buy in, when people believe, when people just feel it, when they just know "this is what I want, this is what everyone (pop segment) wants".

if it's gonna be an established person like the one I mentioned above, it's gonna be some fake, whaled up BS. like bitcoin. like it happened so often in the past.

the wrong way to lure someone out who can actually make it. a one man one billion dollar company ...

come on, guys. that YT add was already a little .. much


> internally I end up having thoughts like this that I typically only feel safe sharing non-anonymously with people who are close.

Ever tried flipping the lid on this? You'd start opening up a lot of people. Those who would try to use that against you or judge have no relevance since they are not close anyway.

> why the traditionalists/far right haven’t taken this propaganda approach ...

they have little, low quality sex and any debate about it would force them to face this, even though it barely matters to them but admitting weakness with something so brutally natural is way above their heads.

if they didn't "make" their partner orgasm, ever, are they real men or gay men in disguise? (their thoughts, not mine, I think they are gay for other reasons)

it's similar to how young people used to or still do laugh about older men needing Viagra.

b) traditionalists and far right have build a merry go round in a dead end, "Sackgasse" in German.

it's a top down dogma.

they cannot have arguments that extend established ways of reasoning before their kind has engineered context and research within which their reasoning follows proper logic (see Quillete (don't) for lots of examples, or rationalists and autistic people easily running with the magic money herd).

they end up having to face the secret life's and thoughts of their partners, realizing they were actively kept in line so that their superiors and peers can reign freely vs having to compete with them, which would extend their minds, freedom and literal happiness.


“they have little, low quality sex”

This is funny to mention, because studies on sex life show the opposite: https://www.peterhaas.org/why-church-attendees-have-the-best...


Your source is incredibly biased.

Here's a source that's less biased that your source cites: http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/07/19/the_family_r...


there's too many good licks in this one.

the issue is, of course, the lying:

from the article:

> We Don’t Participate in Pre-marital or Extra-marital Sex

Yeah, people say that a lot but if you know church people, you know that they are, on average, pretty much like all the other liars.

Except they might hope to get punished for their sins, which does make for some nice and regular kinky evenings, I guess, but that would only be true for people further to the right of the bell curve, if you believe.

Also: the suspense and excitement in fantasies definitely improves the experience. And living free of bullshit other than the classics in the Bible and the consequences of a virtuous and communal life don't sound too bad of a foreplay at all.


Wherever I look, if people want children, they fuck and have children. Single moms everywhere; no problem; most fathers are living up to the minimum of paying until the kid is old enough and the moms are fine with it. what else to live for than fun and parental purpose?

the fertility rate is falling because people care less because that's what comes across from top down everywhere.

it's too many lies covered up by people who are responsible for the opposite.

if the top does not care for the best, then my children are doomed to stay far below their potential and will experience at least some mental illness and health issues that will diminish the enjoyment of their life to a pointless minimum. local hierarchies and the particular competences and values and characters are just damn pathetic and the same is true in most other orbits. it's choice and POV. and just my observation, btw

then you look around, how others raise their kids and how all those people turn out. no thank you.

and if that's what the top wants, lol, ok, go ahead. we are fine with less kids, whenever we want, if we want.

on a side note: I do believe this is all implicit to how the colonies decided to progress. genetic algorithms don't care about reproduction. lessons learned and saved. the code can be reassembled at any time. if this time is BS and "ugly (sad)", then all that competition is a waste and too many lessons will go unlearned. thus, let the sabotaging elements win as easy as they designed it and watch them burn like they ("the minds running on/emerging from the genome") did so many times before.

porn can actually help in this regard. especially if your reward system is broken, you grew up way too conservative and in a web of engineered, beaten paths for exploration, "so you become like we want you".


your son could move to Germany if you can't cover the cost.

if he's that bad into it, he'll be doing gigs and projects with students and cracks all over the world.

it's not about getting a degree in CS, it's about how bad you want to feed your curiosity. the field is still in it's teen years. there's whole human-like brains to build, hardware and infra and artificial minds that run on it.

employers? your son sounds like he'll be one in no time.


the obstacle are concerns and issues that are ignored, selectively or electively, for the sake of financial mechanisms, extraordinary agreements, to keep the balance sheets clean or late Soviet style management aka "don't let the leader know", or the shareholders.

at that point, you can't flatter no more and it's hard or impossible to remain constructive.

luckily that's a problem for less than 5 % of any workforce and thus, statistically irrelevant.

real issues and concerns thus turn into a 95 out of 100 kind of problem. and this has been going on for so long that the entire chains of command and hierarchies are easily corrupted.

in the Netflix adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077, the hierarchies in corporations only exist for the sake of flattery, so that there is someone below, without any real function except maybe to store some secrets in their brain and or make them accomplices that can take the fall whenever necessary.

I hope we'll never get there but our chains of command have been made for, by and of flatterers.

it's otherwise hard to impossible to imagine how all these small wars are going on or how media decides to portrait them, and how things like the right to repair, tiktock, cookies, web surveillance and fingerprinting for the sake of marketing could have happened.


See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Black_Bag where the professors are idiots held up in the social hierarchies and the bottle washer is the real genius who watches over them.


you could explain that to ChatGPT and it would agree but then again, if you HAVE TO keep the logs ...


not if the winds of fortune don't change;--but the weather, man, it's been getting less foreseeable than I was once used to


you found a way to train only once until it "just works"?


it takes work to get water from where it's missing to where it's needed. work takes water and other resources which will need to be moved, too, which takes water that isn't where it should be because obsession.


and she will tell neither of you two who she got that cute little pixel badge from which will make you jealous and then the microwave will tell you it's been hustling on the side as a PAI and that it can get that info ... at the cost of a little upgrade
