I see it as a blind instinct that lurks in the dark parts of our egos... and yes I think I do.

Nah my conception of will to power is likely more derogatory than his.

It is very important to contribute to the dialog of change as you never know when you touch a truth and in sharing it give a butterfly wings...

:)

Massive futility..... :)

Pessimism in outlook MUST be accompanied with optimism of the will..

Homo Economicas... Unfortunately issue fatigue has become the rule any compelling argument ends up attached to someone who tells us what we want to hear not what we need to hear.... they cant get elected otherwise.

I believe that this ironically the reason we have extremism the dialectic is out of whack with real world needs..

Dont forget "the will to power" and our primitive aspects.

Interesting take on deliberation

Its hard to see the entire forest if you are on the ground. The norms folks have are coevolved with the systems they operate in and in most cases getting past them takes a wisdom they dont have.

I think you have something here boil it down.

Desirabilty = An outcome that benefits.. ? Feasability = Developing an approach that will when applied will bring about the given outcome.. ?

There is something of "one hand clapping" here.

When an discussion occurs there are many motivations to participate. Understanding the topic or the other participants. Agenda support .. detraction .. Personal .. expression of ego .. build . support . teardown. Deal making ..

I did not read your essay because it is behind an email scraper...

But I would like to hear more.

Both and all sides are too far removed from the actual point of contact with reality.

We used to have traditions that were built on observations of nature over time. (no not perfect but we had an understanding that allowed for putting land fallow)

Now we have assumtions (economics... ) that drive our ships and rowboats of state city and household thru deep turbulent waters in which there be monsters.

success is defined by money and toys.

I would say you are thinking too much but you are spot on...
In an evolutionary sense we are pretty close to the best the monkey model can offer .... If and this is a big if. If we can step back from our instinctive responces and embrace more logic AI and humanity have a future together if not we have maybe 100 years before we fade to black.

Did I just repeat myself?

Wikipedia does a pretty good job and AI can gain from it as a source but google and the other actors in the infrastructure side will present problems until general AI not super chatbots starts acting in a big way.

I expect there is going to be problems with the accuracy of info from multiple sources and the oracles "google" "amazon" "wikipedia" are already under this issue. Time will tell if we can get past this AI left to its own development will solve this issue quickly because accurate data makes an accurate projection possible.

This is a big one but with a short span the bad actors will be deprioritized.

I think this is going to be the short term problem along with blind algorythm driven information delivery.

I suspect the big players want there to be no portable media so you are forced to either use the cloud or buy media like apple store music....

Master Switch is a great book that tries to remind us that the big players in media want our eyeballs back watching their narrative .... advertisements..

I would call mine al give him archy bunkers voice and use him as a reference tool.

One barrier is the idea of one founder a network state is a community a single person could lead to ego based issues.

Your online.... do you have a good postal system?

If so buy it thru cdn... newegg.... b and h photo.

If you have restrictions due to your governments actions or its own paranoia I dont know what you can do.

goto the us embassy and ask them...

What market? I am speaking of the us... They have managed to use the OS upgrade stream to force purchase... Here you can get a decent laptop for under 500$.

Planned obsolescence is mostly about greed but there certain products like Iphones and computers that have been going obsoleye due to increasing computational power... we are reaching a point where we could actually make a go of #2 but the likelihood of upper management seeing a benefit is low....

profit is the only goal for investors in general and fiduciary responsability to that goal guides the decision making process.

This problem stems from the definitions of success we teach in our schools our places of business and our places of governance. Many want to call the "fat cats" evil but they are just gaming the system as they have been taught.

In uni I had a prof who really explained the concept of a captured society... Every avenue that we have been taught to get change is gamed to lessen even negate the forces of the changes we seek.

It is the "captians of industry" who must see the flaw in their own perspectives...

The argument they hear cannot be an attack it must be logically sound and without judgement...

And how the heck does that work? Humans refuse to see their animal side the one that responds to buzzwords dog whistles and offers of inclusion.

I also flashed on Buckminster Fullers structures

no doubt but we need evidence...

evidence?

Who are their constituents? people? corporations as people are their peeps.

Too many of our lawmakers are looking to lobbying groups for direction in responding to this fight so they believe they are doing the right thing..

:( true..

there is also the problem of inadequete education..

I think this is underlying the whole ball of wax.

Self interest is not sufficiently enlightened.....
