Meager contributions to end work

People could change their work to games, hobbies, art. Or use these as interfaces for work, so that they would be in essence playing or creating as something that translates to work. The rest is done by robots and autonavigating freight dirigibles.

Stalking on stalking

Reality ratiocinated or dreamed and then distinguished

Dream product of the fantasizing mind relates to perception of world resembling reality .
Foucault writes on the strange pathway between reality and perception tolled by sanity. Philosophy has considered this world of dreams. in some way this is also the beginning of European modern philosophy - the thought experiment of Descartes. If there was an agent capable of creating a lucid dream so perfect as to be indistinguishable from reality how would you tell the dream from reality. I have a connection for it in my thought that came today
- there are two concepts of stalking one you find in wiki(1) and the other in special networks for people suffering from stalking attacks(2)
  1. one of pursuing a person and scouring everything for bits of info on them
  2. people who use personal info to create 'hum', hearsay and slander for the person as the target

the point is in the formation of a Viscous Circle of stalking to find the stalker. To find who is stalking one would need to record the hearsay and thus stalk another. Thus the behaviour starts a phenomenological illness.

well the first meaning of stalking talks of obsession.

how it ended

when i was young i remember perhaps asking when will yugoslavia tend towards communism from socialism and the answer was - never, communism has already ended and apparently it happened in the seventies. what was the event i personally recognised in 2006 the thaw of the 70s and revival of culture has escaped me because i was born after it was hammered shut by the policies of the geriatric peripheral patriarchy of the revolution.

i think it was the probablity of the end of the Berlin Wall.

Prediction of violence

there are several possible ways to predict where wars might start

  1. the news give a signature pattern before escalation of violence for 8 months
  2. prediction markets
  3. ai
  4. memtracking, zeitgeist/google trends
if i knew where these could begin i might avoid them and move to somewhere more peaceful
perhaps i could join into lobby to provide alternatives to violence and provide additional resources for expression of public will.

however Buddhism denies prediction because of the suffering that it can cause and exacerbate.
or in other words suffering cannot cede as easily if one was to engage in divination or fortune telling. i suppose one could draw a line between the two different methods.

of these i would like to stop on the first method - surely there is a feedback loop since the process of reporting violence causes further agitation and increased tension, even lashbacks
this has been shown in psychological tests - active words having violent meaning.

what is US if it is arming up with Americorps? How does the aim form , how does it reach peace and wars.
