World of change

2000 years ago a cult swept through Roman Empire and replaced religious freedom with a single faith that preached freedom, taught to read and write, inspired charitable lifestyle. Empire was founded on slavery those who joined them were freed. They were taught reading and writing and they were able to get jobs that ranked highly in the system.
In this world we can see a similarity with programmers -- they can get the well paid jobs and see the world with an insight into its rules and systems.

Nondemocracy

Many democracies have become frail just as they were when the structure of democracy was questioned 100 years ago. They let in to the highest level of power people who are insane, and addicted. Many of these liberal democracies wane when a president brings in a hardline policy and begins to exclude parties from the parliament, and extending the powers and duration of the presidency. Finally perhaps the PR systems that manipulate the country. End of democracy. While the title carries on it becomes as meaningless in the west as in the old communist world.

On music

The traditional structure of music involves influences/composer/players/audience. This has changed somewhat but the big change and a popular new model based on p2p and crowdsourcing and would really charge what the creative commons would enable - realtime collaboration and jamming and play. Such a technology does not exist yet in the zeitgeist. However we are close.
(Open Source mod based music is certainly on the cards here, and another would be the p4p/p2p networked music collaboration, so that whatever you do would create music in your personal music world and could also contribute for influences to other places, instead of just listening to music people would collaborate - the move from passive to interactive, for this imaginary platform you could do searches based on samples and doewnload samples and arrangements up to whole songs.)
When I look back there is a sort of transcendence has come as a culmination of a change through time which has shortened the timeframe of a style of music, and created dozens of styles of acoustic music and hundreds of styles of electronic music.
I developed a sense of search for music which was shared by many of my fellows, that intended to escape the system of locking yourself into a particular style, we found that there were styles that attempted to exit many conventions of music - like rhythm in ambient. This way it was not necessary to keep looking for the new new music. We also found styles which used many different styles as the source of influence.

On process in different languages

A friend of mine pointed to the differences that language makes to the thinking of the nation. When looking for the word for "making an insight" (word is absent from English, despite the obvious need that it has for education and development) that in Finnish there are words to describe it
"eläytyminen" - has the word stem to live or to become alive and
"oivallus" - means excellence forming

I then start to think about varius endings of verbs and that there are so many ways in FinnoUgric languages to make verbs

In Finnish
-llus
-nnus
-muus


In Estonian
-ldus
-mus
-mine
-tumine
-tus
-dus
-davus
-as
-tsioon
-uur
-ndumus
-lus
-tamine

There is an important reason for this in programming and in design and modelling in specific, in fact English is not very useful for thinking in terms of the processes involved for specifying programming. Thinking in Finnish would help : ) This is from the viewpoint of that programmer should begin from process in the system and later define the objects that have these processes.
This would create a more optimal and faster code in terms of computing resources used.

My own Manhattan project

SENS(Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senesence) seems to be coming to the beginning of the project and research phase. Where ideas that derived from researching the causes of aging in humans are used to propose ways to cure the ailments and problems caused by aging.
Stem cell cultivation is one success.
AGEMAP project is another - how genes transcript to create the molecular system of cells which fails by degradation and pollution as time passes.

The idea is that perhaps everyone should run a project like that. What would be my Manhattan Project and I think it would have to be the creation of Utopia. This connects to other unbelievable projects that seem to be great and would benefit humanity. I saw a film where a software programming lecturer said that programming cannot be used to solve problems like world hunger or epidemies. I think that is a limited thinking and specific systems could be written to achieve such social projects too. There are several approaches that i can see : simulation of existing systems, platforms for social networks created to find and unite people who solve the problems, design of systems, design of robots, planning for developments to solve the problems, knowledge repositories for the utilsed and useful solutions.

Someprojects that will shape the future
  • Terraforming
  • Construction Robotics
  • SENS Methuselah project/Longevity
  • Stellar colonisation
  • Stellar construction robots
  • Farming robotics
  • End of work
  • K-Web/Semantic Web
  • Open Source Software/Teaching
  • End of Wars
  • End of hunger

Dramas on the playground

J. Redfield described life dramas that reduce peoples energy and keep people from their life purpose. They are also linked to some of the social interaction antipatterns described in the 70.

I noticed that even their reverses are hindrances to human relations and they are also related to the phenomena of propagation and conservation of tension.

Eric Berne used the term of games to describe social interaction.
Jean Huyzinga was on the same line to describe peoples existential choices.

The Greatest topic - On Love

yeah ok i love you
no this one i love the one who smiles at me like a sunshine and i know that this is so old-fashionable to say that that no modern people of my time would express it this way
however love is an archetype it flows even when meaning changes in human history.
if this is worth one look even though it is as simple as it could be
then there must be worth in things more complicated to compare them, or to be wise enoguh to know their place without resorting to comparison thus elevating both. Clearly love blinds and i noticed the swathes of mistakes only later

this is something that works as a preamble.

a few years ago in 2004 a met a young poetess who is remarkable and writes under a pseudonym, when i spoke to her of my ideas about love and that philosophers have not esteemed it as the most often occurring of themes, she told me to write it all down. I know only of Hannah Arendt who has written on love.
Well there are others and recently there has been Zizek the Lacanian Marxist.
Zizek tells how love allows us to perceive absolute beauty through our partner as an object of love.
There is also a Derrida interview and he avoids it for half of it until speaking.
Michael Hardt has a lecture on love.


philosophia is a special object of love and therefore it does not lend itself to an inquiry of the somatic nature of man too easily and on another note there is the mystery of love, that forms essence without anything, even thoughts or cognition, and wipes discrimination. In this it continues development of man and is so close to another such semios -- God.


I will do it. And there is a lot. The original essay may be lost. Love lives forever.

Some people to read on this topic are
Erich Fromm Art of Loving 
Luce Irigaray The way of Love
Plato The Symposium

Space migration

human being is set to expand the sensory perception in the ways sometimes and usually fairly narrowly described by transhumanism. this will combine with adapatation to other planets other gravity zones, vegetation and so on. thus providing a whole array of changes and ways to increase the possibility for survival of life and along with that transcendence of that which is human today.

it is deemed unlikely by current scientists that we could colonise the whole Galaxy. if our earth has a speed which is similar to anything we could achieve with ships

i deem it a necessary right to be able to leave the planet just like quakers, from an insane world which has forgotten the illumination and added some archaic ideas from the middle ages, using guns and weapons. and to leave so far that they will never see us and never have anythign that they could see as bother because of the mind that constantly sees and forms. So i hope that facilities would be made finally for humans to be born without even memory of war, so that their karma can be pure and clean..

This post is in reference to the Dystopia post describing the ills and insanities of the world.

Pack of cards

this is post 52 and corresponds to the standard number of cards in a deck.
Music is played on thousans of decks all over the world every weekend.
music is also easy to play using cards. aces represent pauses. one sets the key for the melody and reads it out if there are obvious exceptions to the key then you use another table to check for how to interpret the following notes.

There are many such methods for inciting some extra ideas for composition.

I like to see composition as an allegory to a relationship (marriage, or artistic sysgy). It would be interesting if someone would interpret their life realtionship as a symphony or dance.

Dances are physical efforts to generate and express joy unlike games of chance. Poker has three important rules:
  1. Know the odds of your hand
  2. Know the odds for others
  3. Know the odds from past hands

Compassionate Business

I saw on my friends website something that came from Japanese business management in the eighties a fad memed "Business is war"
I see it as a double shortcome and a deceptive bonus on the other hand too. This lead me on to think of the way for business to live and benefit and enrich other businesses in the same sector, and to do it willingly, to overcome comeptition with branding and service versatility. In fact competition would be side cast with many other methods based on constructive growth.

  • affiliation with others
  • B2B
  • conglomeration
  • benchmarking
  • outsourcing
  • partnerhips
  • mergers
  • synergetic effect of mergers - both businesslines work better than either alone
I think overall this positive thinking shows the Ghost Not in business and could create a revolution. (For more on Ghost Not in reciprocality)

Be friendly to your fellow business
I would propose this simple slogan to address this paradigm. Seems like interesting so i might write more on friendly business.

Healthy and unhealthy competition
My defintion for the difference would be in these terms : if there is macroeconomic benefit it is healthy competition, else if there is harm to macroeconomic indicators it is unhealthy. (I know it is perhaps improper to use concepts from medicine or physics but there is precedence since )the beginning. A good mathematical falsificatrion would show that in most situations use of even unhealthy competition would not result in harm to macroecomies (cleaning unnecessary businesses and creating more value and therefore tax, reducing prices more radically).
This idea is not to end healthy competition - it is to add a new system that would keep on growing. So the plan involves more on creative assemblages of business.
Studies just shoe that punishment harms the overall development in society. Those societies that use tit for tat do better.
In additon classes in schools have better scores for students if they cooperate with other classes.

Evolution of business
it is fairly clear that businesses which follow Schumpeterian capitalism would grow a few steps and reduce a few steps businesses that use compassionate business grow on growth and therefore offer more geometric growths for investments.

Missing posts

In the past few days i wrote post number 64 and i saw it disappear to 63 and looking at it today i see only 62 including this one i think.

As time passes so does philosophy disappear. Plato's missing works might be lying somewhere at the bottom of the sea, but electronically deleted messages are likely to disappear forever. Messages have lives just like humans.

Illness from news

The news is sick. It reflects the ills of this world and it seems that this is what the world becomes. The problems of society, nature, ecology are somekind of items which sell the products of our world. This negative portrayal of our environment forms it again. And limits our dream of what we could be, what we could see tomorrow. It is furthermore in excess, it suffocates us. This content of news kkeps the society on stress and ambient anxiety.

We dont hear of many things that are important to our world, spiritual miracles, achievements, scientific breakthroughs(getting poor representation even in scientific magazines).

The wonder of the web is that we can choose our news. So i read science news.
And that forms the second illness - a wool comes over our eyes guarding me from the reality of the world as it is, and removing me from any hint of responsibility or compassion that might come from connecting to the paisn of the world.

On another side i think i am spirtually unprepared to watch the news as they are created.

Enriching and oppulating business

I read about ecotopia and chanced on the idea of enriching.
Here i thought that there are at least two types of ways in which the aim of an actor of profit becomes wealthier. In one way he would also enrich others as he becomes wealthier (enriching), in another way he becoems wealthier while others and the whole loose (oppulating). Machine builders can contribute to the wealth of producers. Alcohol distillers contribute to the poverty of the nation.
Fuel-based powerplants oppulate the owners and reduce the value of nature, and the cost of health is thus increased.

I would really like to expand on this, but i am quite aware of the shortcomes already existing in other messages.

The Ladder

Once a system is created and truth is achieved one can reject it like a ladder that is unnecessary once one is on the next level.

I think that was one of the ending arguments(of Tractatus Philosophicus of Wittgenstein), and if i am wrong then even more philosophy would result from that mistake.

I disagree, if the ladder was to disappear suddenly how would you come back to earth, how to teach it to others, and even if you were not to come back, you need it to reference your reality, and that is most important. If you remember a door and it does not exist anymore , because it has been rejected what would you found such a claim on, what would differentiate you from a madman? What would support your claim to such credit?

History and prediction

Before going to university i bagan to think about mathematical modelling of history and large societies like civilizations. I was urged to read Poverty of historicism. Many years later after uni i had the time to read it and to think about it. i have not cristallised it in my mind enough to comment on it thoroughly, it did make me think about it much more.

Non linear mathematics describes phases spaces which is inhabited by random events that are linked to other values, some ideas were useful for the project.
The project has never actually got a serious effort from me. Sometimes i keep it in mind though.

Popper in POH describes the fundamental correlation of knowledge in historical development of societies and that it is impossible to predict what kind of knowledge about the phenomena of the world will be invented to describe it.

Some ideas that were connected to this:
* Bayes formula - the age an population size of the syste are related to the life expectancy of the system.
* News events that reflect situations which regularly lead given events of larger scale. (eg. Increase in discontents and riots leading to civil war)
* Small changes that lead to change in the pattern of the system
* Massive interconnected games
* Moore's law - computing technology does have some inherent rule that shows the growth of speed , size and cost
The aim of my project would not have been predetermination. However i dd think initially that there might be something like that. Telling what would happen in 1800s from the situaion in 1200.

Popper treats some ideas that have become more current now han thy were 60 years ago, but I remember vaguely about some loopholes which would give a chance at mathematical predetermination, that might grow bigger.

World as playground

Games are formed to provide excitement for the players, that is one of their somatic dimensions. I like to tie together three ideas about the world to see a human life as a game, to recreate the game and play better games, this ideas is from Huyzingen. The second is that all games have rules which determine the chances of all players during the game to win or achieve some objective in the course, game can be modelled as a mathematical system, a function; these ideas come from Neumann. Third is a call to people to live playfully - to reject work, this idea comes from a manifesto -perhaps it was called a Ludic manifesto (i have forgotten the author).

Proofs of divinity

I hold that it is not possible to prove the existence of God, in fact by any ways, and that divine celestine entities with enormously more 'power' than humans would be reduced versions of God and thus do not qualify. God is in my view inherent in the creation and its flow and evolution. Existence of God is for believers and forms in the course of belief.

I like Epicure's Paradox (Is god benevolent and powerless; malevolent and omnipotent; ) I remember that it appears somehwere in Indian religion and therefore I think that he might have just repeated it and see it as easy to debunk - he begins by assigning human qualities to God, malevolence, benevolence and power and lack of power. It is possible that humans cannot perceive divine power, that God has formed freedom for man by not interacting with his world. However I see that belief contains a view of the character of God. Christianity resorts to all descriptions - God is malevolent (at times), God is disconnected from the world. There is even a hint at Gods failings in the power of creation.

Sublimated revolution

I am compelled to write on the change of the way revolutions happen to the societies. When it happened in (England,) France, and Russia it happened with widespread violence (I have read of the opinion of some on how it happened almost peacefully - it is far from truth. Civil Wars happened, bringing on the Red Terror.) I have noticed unease about this - how does a society that is founded on such an event exist. How does this event alter and affect the existence of the society and its eventual end.

I think that the seed for its end is in the very nature of lack of humane reason. But at the same time I see that lack of reason is quite unfounded as a claim. I may write on this later in more depth. I intend to write on the nature of the change.

That revolution happens also without violence from those who are pressing for change. As an example I would like to bring the computer and internet revolution that has occurred in the economy. And the second example is the second liberal revolution that liberated people of the former soviet union.

Third is perhaps the economic revolution initiated by the steam engine.

If there are to be more revolutions and I think that the current society does indeed have a pregnancy for it and our capacity to reason our way through it is what determines whether we choose to have the birth without pain or with suffering.

Revolutions have always happened amidst and tailing the technological breakthroughs in communication and transportation.

On belief

(This is a response to a friend of mine who said he has no belief "not even in art")
Belief seems to have formed (because it think that belief has a force to mold more strongly than any science or culture) a crust and hidden its own meaning from people. I tried to be a christian for a year just gone, i still am one , but weekly hearding into the church with people suffering from their selfishness and blind to it to the degree of comedy, albeit tragicomedy is beyond me. It is not honest belief and dedication/devotion from anyone. I walk free in God now.
Belief is forming a life with the imagination of what it could be, in this way manifesting a reality that seems an improvement on what was before. (Perhaps it can be said more concisely in better canonical terminology)
From a dictionary we would read some nonsense about thinking that something exists when it might not or does not. The definition that i have wrought has an element of that - in the possibility for miracle that forms what does not exist yet and continuosly does that in the Universe unlike the negativistic definition (and hence an empty one).

Let us be brave in our suffering. May we rejoice when inevitably all hardships are vanquished without leaving the cockroaches behind.

The BIG change

in advocating as foundation of my philosophy a change of ethics for most human beings i differ from many philosphers in fact most. As a result and along with it there should be changes in politics and economics. Therefore a controversy.
This controversy is what anyone can see.
I have an inclination to see that the China and Japan have not known freedom. Being alien to the concept the superimposition of democracy to Japan is a source of a circus of conspiracies performing a show and breaking under change more than usual because the spirit that runs this is made of totalitarian form of statecraft, obviously manifesting Japanese democracy as a monoparty state.

Categorical Imperative and freedom

I see an aspect of modern life that provides a perplexing solution. Our lives can be lived with the support of the pensions and benefits of the state, as it might be pleasant to live without the stress of work. However this is not an ethic that could be advocated for the majority , so failing the imperative. and resolving in a fluctuation. Those who do live this life of modesty and absence of manual labour or duties and timelines constricting the creative.

Open feelings and the somanetron

Now that we have experiences which we share by describing them and are on the brink of being able simulate the formation of these feelings for repeatable reproduction in others we could "rent" them and establish a large base of open source feelings.

I imagined different ways of eating something for example, and since there is perfection in everything, I could be connected to a gadget which forms these feelings or suggests them as they become available to my situation. Actual system would be in real time connection and form queries from data on user interaction with reality to produce suggestions for experiences that might be suitable - exciting, pleasant.

This could be a kind of somatic philosophical tool. I have no name for it perhaps somanetron.


To see the real and to miss something

World has people, people make judgements about he qualities of life about their perception bout the contents of these perceptions. Mostly they avoid seeing by having countless detours ina negativland of denials, lack of hope, inability to formulate any plans because to fall back into the rut the it is unnecessary.

This spirit is a roadsign that shows nothings, and places and things which do not exist. Most of this post also falls into this category, I dont even let people onto a hint of what the way to seeing is, because I have no clear plan myself, other than stating that i see this. To say things wihtout negating, is a virtue and the actual way to see the real, to complement the negative with the affirmative is to see things and a mirage, and to say things which only have a negative side is blindness/maya.

The result of this is a production of waffle that corresponds to the standards of the memetic framework and disappearance of both meaning and purpose by dilution of the real.

As this post goes it is quite vague because of the general concepts it describes, i should add EXAMPLES.

More words less violence

I have just viewed a broadcast on the rreductoin in violence in the history of the world. This contrasts with rise in the severity of the violence in the number of sufferers in history, yet it includes even that. This is a sign taht provides a measure of cohesion to the foundation for optimism.That the ultimate goal which many have lived their lives. Changing oneself for a world could be a imagined more than lived, since how would you nknow the difference which kind of thinking would you be successful wiht and which things you can speaek to be in peace. Perhaps one other mechanism is word. There are billions of people in the world and they are in some form of contact to a semiosphere formed by increasing culture and science, there is more to speaks aand more to reason for hte course of our lives and so there is more to reciprocate.

In the ancient world i saw religions having many mechanisms to keep people from violence. These systmes like ollecting the names of gods and comapring them with another, increasing the number of holy books by collation, unifying with those who believe. Describing the salvation of monsters.
Encyclopedias have served something for humans and formed a script that has changed the society the other being , so that there are more enterprises and endavours to understand the world and its people and the way to a life of happiness.

More words also provides the instructions for more doing that would elevate from the brutish warfare in all its subtle and overt forms that it forms among humans.

Reality and dream

I had a look at the gift economy idea and chanced upon the FoodNotBombs charity I read of their story and it seemed to me like what the founding fathers were doing, and I almost cried, because the reaction to their good will was that miserable.

To shatter dreams they had boulders made of envy and misunderstanding, never could these be brought to any part of those visions. Their place was.

In actuality I thought of the lack of a mechanism in our world and markets - if something deflates very much because of production cost decrease, why not let it go to the ultimate limit and become part of a free/gift economics rather than become part of a collusion supported scheme(sometimes these are run by government subsidies).

Beyond master and slave

Mask and Sleep

I wrote more extensively having had several insights during the reading of "Beyond Good and Evil." and most of these seemed to fall into dual categories, that were connected to each other to form a whole.

Mask is an idea of performing politics and rule behind a veil, without access to everyone. Even in modern democratic system there is rule without representation in some aspects(plans for the economic projects, public relations schemes, appeal to majoritarian whim).
That rule has principles which often necessitate a secrecy to their nature wo that their effect would not be influenced by their method or the number of those wielding that method.

Sleep is an idea of the majority of people sleeping through life guided by their drives and habits and accepting the life at the value of the mask without questioning them, or even observing them. The proposition is that people are lured to unawareness by the majority. Ritual Addiction Syndrome seems lend the support for this depiction of societies.

Superpower and superwill
Another duality behind the two moralities. Superwill is benevolence and a pursuit to overcome selfishness, the way I define it. Superpower is supremacy a power that reaches further and more than any other agent of power.

The web within me - a bodyweb

The web is going through its several incarnations and shifting the netizen from one way of using it to another as time passes, and perhaps tats whta the net experience is. However in discussions of the development of the net people have missed one important element and that is themselves - the actor interating with the web can be considered as a web too.

Such a web would be able to have interfaces for interacting with the net so as to improve others bodyweb.
It might start from an enhancement of XFN - our physical condition and metabolics and exercises, diets.

What could be achieved by connecting data about our body to the net and downloading specific stimulations we like or need.

  • Telesports - some groups competitions relayed with online results and signalling
  • Active games
  • Health monitoring and check
  • Health improvement
  • Physical Exercise calendar
  • Health recovery
  • Shopping and food list update
  • Choreography to create computer music
  • GIS - global positioning and trailing , tracking

I see that the connection is possible for web3.0 features.

Existence and new excitement

Imagination and planning
Excitement
Lives - Missions
Individuality and selfmade world.

I think that could bring the meaning for the existentialism of modern times.

We are to make a world which is best for us as individuals.

Balance

World has a core principle of balance that is appears over and over again in many forms -in jurisprudence, in ethics, psychology(serenity), in spritual development(path of the golden middle way), in architecture(golden mean) in business(credit balance, market balance),social(equality, equanimity) economics(balance of need and desire, balanced growth), ecology(urban and natural habitat). It is even in the genes - humans tend towards balance. I have an idea that this balance is built in from the ground up from smaaller systems to larger ones and if we were to ignore it somewhere like ecology we would head for demise.

Beautiful autumnal sun

a new day will rise for europe in a few hours.

i will walk and see the day in the light it is

today i try not to complain, i did ok.

Value after abundance

As we will one day show customers to our products i think it might be a good idea to take a look at the value and the way it is defined

there are five actors who determine some factor of the price


  • owners/investors
  • producers/delivery
  • marketers
  • users
  • peers (competitors/colluders/subsidiaries/partners)

this means that the function is a nonlinear function that would be very unlikely to provide constant values.

these actors would define a series of values which affect the price

  1. the number of units produced by peers in the same market sector
  2. the number of units sold by peers
  3. the number of users
  4. the number of leads made by marketers
  5. the number of users gained from peers by marketers
  6. the amount spent on materials (and machines)
  7. the amount spent on delivery
  8. the amount spent on producers
  9. the amount spent on marketing
  10. the amount spent on investors
PS I plan to write up a formula and investigate the phase spaces to see what happens if the amount spent on producers goes towards nill.

Part 2

as robots are used in production driving the costs to very low, the prices of the produce are determined with reference to prices determined by previous methods of production, to show high increase of revenue for investors.
Whereas the use value that the users could harness from the product are very high in comparison to production costs if they are robots produced by robots. To pass that on to the customer would alter the system of the market completely.

Part 3


As a human societies develop robotics for handling production and care we would be freed to develop our art and play games, enjoy in life.
It would be freedom on one hand and serious work on avoiding it as rejection.
Because as peoples work loses significance they might be expelled rather than liberated. So existence needs to be defined again. And it should be a joyous experience.
I am struggling here but the attempt was to bring in the producer or the market as the funder of pensions in line with production increase/production cost decrease

Creating the superself

I put to together a list of ways a person could improve themselves:

Rapid reading
Rapid math(Swiss banking method) and fingermath
Memorisation techniques
Touchtyping
Shorthand/digirecorder
Innovation
RDMAICS
Visualisation
Yogic power exercises


Enhanced perception (visual grasp speed increase)
Hightened consciousness (sound based alpha brainwave incrementation)

Designing how we live and how we look

There is a capacity to design in the way we live, redefining our ethics to bring aesthetics to it. Relate to that the reason to bring design of certain trend, theme or brand to your home, vehicle, clothes, computer, webpage. That would define you and be personal to you.

It would also need to be adjusted to bringing you to the state of mind for success, and support the activity that makes your world more valueable.

That there are underlying principles that combine personal development and art and being.

Existence recast

I think the future holds a new way to recast things that might be part of our daily lives and induce boredom or need some upgrades for enhanced experiences or for doing multiple things, or for creativity.

So work might be recast as a game. Work might be broadcast for paying viewers.

Better still if viewers were to disappear.

Exercises be a port to mmorpg games.

Cleaner bots might be controlled by online games.

Masked items of recycling might be used for selection like in games such as Tetris and Fruits.

Extended limits of knowledge

Kant described that the limits of knowledge are what we can be as humans- waht we can perceive, to be that knowledge. This is limited. In his time the microscope was developed and large telescopes had been built augmenting our perception and enhancing it. This is going to improve more in the future and already is in the modern day with cyber sight for humans, prosthesises and spectroscopy.
Quantum theory takes as on a new avenue still where we have knowledge of things that we can perhaps never perceive and that do not have any similar representation in what we normally perceive.

aspects of existence

remaining in the world of the passives and the creators i would like to describe that there aree three avenues which could be taken for existence.
  1. Science
  2. Art
  3. Business
That is it, all are fairly large areas to tackle.
Explaining, forming, building.

Longevity

The length of existence in terms of time varies for systems that have different aims. Throughout history there have been several groups and systems that last for longer than humans. Here is another list, on these systems:

  1. Civilisations
  2. Religions
  3. Cities
  4. Languages
  5. Schools
  6. Companies
  7. States
  8. Ideologies
  9. Dynasties
  10. Nations
  11. Races
  12. Genotypes
  13. Memes
Civilizations top the list because they last the longest. (Oldest remaining/surviving civ is Chinese).
There must be common principles that make for long life of the entity, i think that one of them is nonviolence.

Passives and Creators

when I was younger I saw people one day, doing things where they had little engagement with the flow of the world, like watching TV24 hours a week, playing with consoles, attending concerts, theatre, championships, games, browse the web.
Only interactivity was seen in internet use (irc, clan-fps, mmorpg).

Then i found that the passives world could be described by a computer program in a fairly easy way. I thought then that thats what the big difference is - the method and life of the creators can not be defined as a program.

The other type was the creator - programmers, philosophers, artists, mathematicians, physicists, playwrits and authors.
Performers would have fit in somewhere ther too, their creations would have been more fluid and attached to them.

The divide seemed very big. While the passives who consumed what was created lived and kept repeating these passive activities throughout their lives.

AI

A think tank is a new phenomenon in itself - agroup of researchers and anaysts
solving scientific/diplomatic problems.
I propose a new test. Turing computer - man test can be advanced.
I think that AI can be overcome to a certain extent by a group of humans if there is an allowance of time. The opposition would be a swarm of AI agents or expert agents.

Communism as a dead horse

One should keep flogging a dead horse.
One should bury the horse with a ceremony.
One should leave the thought of a dead horse.

Well I face a dilemma about whether to look at the faults of communism or whether to look at the faults of our economy.

Market economy, Communist economy.
The first of these gave the idea of the value of produce to come from the market.
Value is then manipulated by the owners through a magical transformation system. Fudge.
Actually value has many attributes and most notably there is the value as formed on the market. Market also demands value of storehousing and delivery and promotion and finally use value.
Perhaps Marx wanted a general or universal theory of value that would work in any society whether in communist or capitalist. However he wrote that it would not work in primitive cultures.
If the value does not originate in the production the idea of surplus value is an excessive fiction.
The ends of his theory are the premises of the theory, therefore there is a fault.
If the value is defined on the market then the price is reduced until it approximates what demand defines its value as use value.
If the labourers also inhabit a market of wages, then they choose and improve the wages and conditions of work.
Owners support migration of the workers.
If the value is defined by the collusion of the owners of production then society loses by not recieving the use value of the produce. Such collusions face cooperatives and new businesses as a challenge.
If the owners take the surplus value created at production then the market has no need for the owner. Yet it is needed and the owner needs to work on the market or with offical resellers and promoters.

On the other side of the coin are the changing times, paradigm alteration changes the focus of profit. If the market disappears then value is defined between use value and labour value.


If communism cannot be defined then how can the steps towards it be defined? If these cannot be defined how can it come to being? '

If laws are set up to safeguard the socialist state then what would happen if these "wither away"? Would the safeguarding mechanism that needs to be maintained need a state itself?

Comparison of barbarism and red terror. Could there be a civilized revolution? Could pacifism be a road to socialism? Aid in means of production as among the primary methods of spreading socialism.

Do different political economies have their respective perspectives on the definition of value?

When the middle class creates the pattern of consumption that the proletariat desire to mimic, the birth pangs  of the aristocracy of the proletariat start. The smaller the proletariat the faster it develops a class consciousness if other nations have it already.

Does the revolution in one country appear as a holistic event, caused by friction between nations, pathos from the comparison of disparities between the different nations, economic considerations between capitalist nations and technological changes including early capitalism and more advanced capitalism.

Piece meal social engineering

Societies could be changed slightly with small methods and through small groups, eventually this would add up, and cause big changes and these could perhaps end up being big or hard to challenge, or be costly to reverse.

On happiness

I propose that happiness comes from a change in experience. Therefore the pursuit of happiness also includes the redefinition of happiness and study of life to find those new definitions of happiness.

The second important aspect is excitement, humans need some excitement towards which they work. I think it would be possible to have a constant excitement stream as part of life, similar to the experience of flow in creativity.

I have an experience of this from my life and i think that is unquestionably a goal for every human existence.

On the verge of dystopia

I would like to pass on these great news of hope for humanity.

1 We are run by the decisions of eight countries, where the most powerful are puppet makers for other states in the world.
2 The sudden drying that goes concurrent with global warming is going to happen faster than thought
-probably in 10-15 years, burning all vegetation of the planet.
3 Governments are going to cut emissions by 20%only does that bring a probable reduction of 20% on the 3-5 degree increase in temperatures, conitnuing the heating or even the increase in heating
a dramatic drop is needed within 7 years OR else ...
4 China is a dictatorship, World buys everyhting from it.

Superwill

Idea about the human drive to transcend the will that he has through spiritual means.
Also a superset of the Will.
Will to live ->Will to Power
Will to truth

I think this constains the vital and important aspect that as will develops for humans through ethical changes he does evolve more integrated will for the world and self - for the ego. This opposes to the idea that there is will to demise or a will to self-denial in religion.
This is answered well in Buddhism with the path of the golden middleway. and in the sign of the cross itself in Christianity where heavenly matters are divided from earthly matters between excess and shortage. (Greed and Repentance)

M2 Pleasure

Pleasure is something that veils us from the true nature of existence as much as aggression, from our capability to compassion and from the state of our health. It comes in cycles.



Pleasure from addictive substances
This has two sides and one is illicit the other part of everyday habits common in society,
it is these that i like to talk about, the costs of alcohol related problems far outstrip their returns even if state collected 100% tax. Coffee causes incontinence, anxiety, sleeplessness, memory problems, impatience and metanoia. The effects are small but withdrawal brings symptoms.

Pleasure of eating
This is something that can turn humans to overeat, to seek the comfort feeling. On the other hand it si necessary and vital to our lives that we eat every day.

Sublimated pleasure
Enjoyment of what you create.
Enjoyment of how you actualise yourself
Enjoyment of transcending limits

M1 Aggression

Adrenaline is the cause of spiritual animation of aggression and is similar to dopamine, indeed as aggression susides it turns to dopamine. As this is an addictive state it is coveted by those who use this mechanism to get adrenaline and dopamine, engaging in dangerous, harmful and wanton activities.


Violence as employment

State channels some people to a regime of the army to form defensive and expansive forces for the state. As democracies have progressed they have come to use less of their production on military.

Violence passively
This includes the production of addictive and harmful substances that are everpresent in society, production of weapons.

Violence from apathy
Standing by as society harms its members, ignoring them eventually has effect on how you live.

Violence sublimated
Sports, extreme games are forms of getting the same buzz in a controlled and civilized environment. Work is another sublimation, that does not use the same mechanism, but employs something else and therefore transplants the agressive energy.

Violence as disorder
Violence is entropy increasing behaviour. As this is increased or coordianted the result is increase in entropy of the state. As states often claim a function of defence of its territories and interests. They therefore form a system for creating a function that harms its own members.

Everpresent in mass consciousness

One common denominator in the culture as we see it today is the semios of violence and aggression
*action films
*suspense films
*cartoons
*games - fps,rpg-snh,rts-seu
*boardgames
*toys
*news
and that seems to desensitise the populations in the world to the being of violence.
It is a method for perpetuating a monster that inhabits human society and parasitises human creative time by perpetuating the adreanline addiction. I call it the M1. You can read about M0 from www.reciprocality.org
there is more i think that works as parasites in human cultures. one of them being M2 the pleasure cycle. That takes humans away from the contributions to each other and keeps them in the pleasure for the pleasure, Completely removed from the primary object of hapiness in some cases.
It is suffocating as a material in the daily world to read of this. It subsumes a being where we lack choice with the fact that there is no option not to choose it, because it has replaced the daily drink and bread.
It forms a monotony and drives a certain public relations agenda while those who succumb to it
become robots of this state of being. Agents of violence are formed daily, and though rationally society has not accepted these agents and rejects them, they are formed from the actions and level of spirit of the society.

Interconnectivity

music can be translated to other systems like mathematics and programming, and visual images.

as well as other type of music.

an isomorphic translation system would allow no loss of data if changing or transforming music to some other forms of data. this means that each item in the music and each conncetion of this item is recorded and translated as unique.

more on this later.

superego

Something that transcends the self, and its existence.
Something that joins the other egos (interfaces between reality and persona).
Something that overcomes and sublimates the personhood.

there is a way to it and i think that each part influences the others reflexively and without linear development.

Business

I guess this could be one of the tools by which humans get wealth. AS wealth is brought in so the person acieves happiness.

It has not reaaly helped or worked in my personal world. I don't know why. I am not usually a very social person.
On the other hand why should business continue and is it going to work in the future. are ther better alternatives.
I also have a thesis that as economy changes the source of value could change.

as the market disappears, value does not appear on the market.

Utopia

The order of the world, providing for the hapiness of all members, and freeing
the members to pursue what is necessary to form an environment of hapiness.

I think it is current with the ability of the technology present today. The road to the world where these are can be funded and constructed witht these:


  1. House construction robots (many skyscrapers are built with a small team of 12 people )
  2. organic food factories -where production is artificially controlled and enhanced, lighting, music, sustenance, temperature
  3. recycling
  4. ecopowered houses(solarpower, geothermal, wind, wave)
  5. k-web and open source and agent webs
  6. open source social programs
  7. game-works/performance works
  8. personalisation
  9. vehicles that power houses and know how to construct themselves

Negativistic excess

I have noticed that those who use negative ideas in their theories use much more ideaspace to relate something.
The result is described by a theory from logic The G S Brown reduction theorem, most complex sentences in logic can be reduced or simplified because they contain a reiteration of the same pattern. Removing this gives a more concise sentence.

Elements of excellence

I once thought that what people pursue and what they see as the source of hapiness is
generally related to amassing some kind of specific resource. Either a person can
store up whatever they collect, or establish more organisations to generate more.

The five excellences of taoism are still relevant to modern pursuits.

Argument and critique

I like the style of dialectics(discourse on verity/falsity/utility) Popper

*define the theory
*bring out the strong points
*make these as strong as possible, through defence
*unleash the force on the premisses of the theory, demolishing the system
*bring the system to bear on itself
*use the residual ideas remaining

The path

Ethics and autodevelopment have been developed from ancient methods for perfecting the mind and body.

I added my own ideas in describing the superego for the path of transcending from barbarism.
Ego is the interface between reality and the persona.

The good for the person
The awareness of good for the person
The source of good
Knowledge of the source
Pursuit of good

Awareness of good for other persons
The source of other persons good
Collective knowledge of what is good for persons
Pursuit of good for the person

Nonviolence

I think pacifist way of life as a basis of ethics is a prerequisite of prosperity.
Fundamentally I would like to argue that this is a source of greater success than conquest,
takeover, liberation.

A few years ago i wrote a manifesto of nonviolence, that included and expanded on many ideas about
violence, its causes, the way to overcome it and so on.

The project is somewhat on hold, but it has also reached that level of completeness.
I cannot find it on the net anymore. As i find it i will post it here or my homepage as a file.

As i wrote it I saw other people write manifestoes of nonviolence. I wish i could change the world just along with ideas from there.

I have written my most important work on nonviolence. I have also written on the nature of virtual reality, before the Matrix film phenomenon made it a social spectacle. The Matrix is a shortcome on spirit, and i think it does not just present , it forms a deficit. Most of what Hollywood makes does that, it is violent, it has an object of antagonism - enslaving, lulling machines.

But it is important nonetheless in that it presents the point of awakening. (From this deep lull of a nightmare.)
