  • 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:

  • Sorry, but air-quality damage from gas cooking & air-quality damage from burning cooking-oil have nothing to do with each-other.

    Both create harmful air.

    Cooking with electric stove ( induction seems to be the cheapest, next to microwave, in terms of energy ) removes the air-quality harm done by gas.

    Burning cooking-oil harms air-quality no matter what heating-technology was used to produce the mistake.

  • 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.






  • Here’s an experiment for you:

    Get as many different kinds of curry-powder as you can find,

    & then simply try whichever of those smell good for you.

    You choose the ingredients, otherwise.

    It may well be that cumin’s bad for your Ayurvedic type, your specific metabolism.

    Whatever metabolism I’m in now, I hate seafood, yet I have kombu, and can’t stand Japanese Soy Sauce ( too seafood-like ),

    yet I loved Japanese Soy Sauce on lots of stuff, until a couple of years ago.

    1 time my metabolism changes such that orange-juice went from being wonderful to being aweful, in about 2 days.

    Read Frawley’s “Ayurvedic Healing”, & do the experiment of trying alternate-pairs of dishes, where 1 of each pair is

    • ingredients that are pacifying for your metabolism-type

    & the other of the pair is

    • ingredients that are aggravating for your metabolism-type

    The ingredients-lists in that book are the ONLY all-correct lists I’ve ever encountered.

    ( all those who claim that the existence of charlatains in Ayurveda “proves” that Ayurveda, itself, is bogus, …

    … well, notice that they SIMULTANEOUSLY say that the existence of mega-Ivermectin-for-Covid charlatain M.D.'s do not falsify the validity of Western Medicine.

    The “logic” that “the existence of some charlatains” somehow falsifies a system they don’t honestly represent, is, itself, false, in BOTH cases, equally.

    WHEN one sticks to the objectively-validatable ingredients-lists in Frawley’s “Ayurvedic Healing”, THEN one gets consistently correct results.

    Evidence-based knowing.

    To understand the different metabolisms better, add & read Frawley & Kozak’s “Yoga For Your TYPE” book.

    Vasant Lad seems trustworthy, too,

    and “PaleoVedic Diet” is generally right, but that damn Ajwain, I won’t ever put more than 1 single seed in any person’s food, because the terpenes in 'em are too strong.

    For terpenes, instead of Ajwain, now I use a couple of pine-needles per day.

    A bit odd, but they do seem to help my health.

    & if terpenes, in the right dosage, are good for one’s health, then this should be good.

    Some American Indians used to prevent scurvy with eating 'em or brewing 'em as a drink, apparently. )


    PS: Indian cooking is insanely diverse.

    You could probably cook a different recipe every day, for the next 500 years, without repeating one of 'em.

    Look at the cookbooks…


    PPS: the best cookbooks in the world are usually the America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks, but they won’t do the experiment for Ayurvedically-appropriate-ingredients-for-a-specific-person’s-metabolism, and they don’t have an Indian cookbook, that I know-of.


    Anyways, you do the experiments, & you discover what you discover!

    • 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…


  • Violence is changing in the US, and the “dip” is … temporary.

    ( the calm before the storm )

    Notice that mass-shootings are now over 2x per day in the US.

    That isn’t a decrease, that is skyrocketing.

    After economic collapse destroys Biden in 2024 ( incumbents lose when the economy wrecks, and right-wing “getting even” often/usually wins on that circumstance, exactly as Hitler did, nearly a century ago ),

    and the kkk rules the US, you won’t see low violence statistics, you may well not see any statistics, because it might be illegal to collect them, just as the NRA lobbied until it got child-deaths-by-guns to no longer be monitored ( anti-evidence on that, is evil ).

    People like Steven Pinker, who insists that “economic violence doesn’t exist” ( really? double the unemployment rate, & see if violent-crime changes, and in which direction, if your ideology permits you to see the evidence, Pinker ), and others who look at short term ( some years, a decade or 2 ), but who ignore the consequences of the now-normal working-destitution, of the enforcing learned-helplessness into more & more & more of the population ( learned-helplessness produces nihilism & sadism, as Russian culture, and all the torture-chambers Russians create throughout Ukraine, or Wagner-territory )…

    There are consequences that take a generation or 2 to “flower”.

    The chickens are coming home to roost, soon.

    Nobody on the planet, who has intellectual integrity, is going to claim “violence has decreased” once the now-inevitable slaughter has got going.

    Wait until 2026 & try claiming that lethal violence has decreased in the US, on average, I dare you/anyone.

    Humanity wouldn’t correct the real/fundamental problems, and so … the distractions … didn’t work, and the fundamental problems now get to take possession/ownership of our world.

    Oh, well: I guess people can’t learn until experience-induced-understanding forces learning into one, so it’s natural, but … it’s going to cost an ocean of lives.


  • 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…


  • Anybody who ignores the Financial Class, and how civilization’s laws are formed in concordance with money-lobby/authority, isn’t competent to be discussing what system we are living-in.

    Capitalism without highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is capitalism.

    Once highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is included, it changes to moneyarchy.

    As it exists, it is a mixture of oligarchy & corporate-moneyarchy, but it definitely isn’t “just” an economic system, it is a world-governing regime.

    https://www.vox.com/2014/4/10/5601062/oil-curse-explained

    Perhaps you didn’t know that perjury is S.O.P. for tobacco companies, but, of course, prison-time for contempt-of-court can’t happen on a corporation, only on us…

    Go look up The Panama Papers, & see if moneyarchy isn’t the correct term for what the evidence shows to be actuality…

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

    Moneyarchy is the correct & proper term.

    As for socialism, whose concept of socialism are you claiming competes against moneyarchy?

    Sweden’s seems insane: EVERYbody pays huge taxes AND gets welfare…

    Don’t they understand that the more “recycling” of money per unit of result, the more lossy their economy becomes, the higher the “friction” or “viscosity” ( pick your metaphor ), and the smaller the percentage of their effort that actually produces results??

    Which Socialism?

    • codependency
    • interdependency
    • ideology-centered
    • practicality-centered
    • things I haven’t thought-of go here…

    I’ve never seen a governmental version of Socialism that wasn’t the codependency-version or the ideology-religion one.

    Meritocracy & Socialism … what is in the intersection between those, on the Venn diagram? Nothing?

    “you can’t have any meritocracy with socialism” seems to be the belief, among many, but Sweden’s education system seems to get meritocracy right ( unless I’m remembering another Scandi country’s version ), where they simply don’t permit any bypassing of the national meritocratic education system…

    Because of political-motivation, objectivity isn’t permitted in this world, and neither is practicality, from what I’ve seen…

    And that kind of meta-rule wrecks everything else.

    Hell, even gaslighting about “Representative” Republic being “democracy” is so normal I keep forgetting to put that back in viewable place…

    As some have noted, the ones who rule make certain that people have things other than the actual issues in-view…

    and that is 1 of the characteristics of the -archy regimes, where the population is just herd-animals, consumed by the powers that really run the world ( for-profit corporations parasitically feed-on the human-herd, manipulating humanity’s awareness to remain fed-upon, is one accurate metaphor )

    The whole narcissism/machiavellianism of orienting government to the most-successful narcissist-machiavellian, and through “elections” making certain that competency & responsibility are punished, in the “game”, by giving authority to the narcissist-machiavellian ones, preferentially…

    Reward-systems are feedback loops and have consequences…

    Try convincing … anybody … that Boris Johnson is a thorougly-responsible person…

    Highjacking of authority from responsibility and accountability … is sooo complete, now…

    How come people can’t see that?


    Anyways, I meant not national-level competing ( in a different country ), I meant:

    IF you find moneyarchy in the US to be bad, then why don’t you create an alternative-to-moneyarchy economy within the US??

    You want socialism, or barbarism, or maybe you equate the 2 ( from your phrasing I can’t know which ), so, why don’t you form socialism-competing-against-moneyarchy in the US?

    Why don’t you & all the believers-in-socialism create socialism in the US?

    Is there some law that prevents socialist businesses from existing??

    Is there some law that prevents socialist groups of businesses from existing??

    The fact that there simply doesn’t seem to be ANY such competing-economy IS EVIDENCE that either it isn’t permitted by government, or that it isn’t permitted by the moneyarchy regime, or that the socialists, themselves, aren’t competent to do it, or all 3 of them, simultaneously.

    DECADES everybody has had to be producing alternative-economies within the US, and … where are they?


    I just realized that I’m including perspective that is required, and not common.

    “Slicing Pie Handbook” is a book on startup equity-slicing.

    Without understanding how equity needs to be properly distributed, and … ah, yes, “Founder’s Dilemmas” is also required … when people who aren’t responsible gain authority, you CANNOT make the business/system/regime work… the ones who gained authority without responsibility effectively highjack the enterprise, holding it hostage to their whims/demand/extortion, and … if the contract that is in-place permits them that authority, the enterprise may need to die…

    Remap that to country, and corporations, instead of an individual company with persons, and the same highjacking happens, especially when financially-emplaced political-parties ( and, through them, their financial backers ) are the highjackers.

    Responsibilityarchy is the real requirement, but it’ll never be tolerated by any incumbent political power, left or right.

    Not responsible AND accountable? break them from authority, then.

    Have you got any idea how long that kind of idealism would be allowed to live?

    1 week, maybe?


    Socialists have the same ability to create businesses as anybody else, so why haven’t they created socialist businesses, & multiplied the things until 20% of the businesses in the US are socialist operations??

    even 5%??

    There is something fundamentally wrong with what the evidence is showing, and its showing that that apparently can’t evolve…

    I’ve tried it, for several languages…

    It seems good, to me, but I’ve learned to invest in the BEST 2-ish recent books on any language I’m trying to learn:

    the difference between average vs GOOD instruction is cliff-like, and I need to understand why things work the way they do.

    ( with 2 different-author books, best I can get, then if 1 author is explaining something in a way I can’t get, then I’ve got a good alternative.

    Better, though, is that if I make myself work through both, then it’s much more likely to stick, see? : )

    I consider Exercism to be a good part of a healthy ( programming-learning ) breakfast!

    : )

    CombinedArms: use EVERY dimension of leverage you can, simultaneously, and more-certainly win, quicker!

    I’m saying this, and I also saying I’ve had to report bugs in their lessons, 1 or 2 times.

    I need Exercism.


  • Learned-helplessness produces both Nihilism & Sadism.

    The Russian soldiers’ habit of making torture-chambers everywhere proves this.

    Russian culture’s “fate regime” concept of relationship also proves this ( it proves the learned-helplessness aspect of it ).

    ( apparently that article explaining how in Russia, people entirely accept that fate, and nothing else, decides who marries who, is now … gone??

    Neither DuckDuckGO nor google have it… )

    Deterrent requires that both parties have aversion to destruction.

    However, when 1 party has become nihilist, then they can assault the other as a means of baiting the other into sadistic-aggression, in order that all the neighbours commit to annihilating the one who was successfully baited into demonstrating genocidal sadism.

    Israel won’t exist, in 10 years, no matter what, now.

    NOTHING can make the Arab world accommodate its life, now.

    Nothing.

    The Christian Bible’s Matthew 24 had a prophecy that is about to become historical-fact, in the coming decade.

    Here’s a decent version of it:

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matt+24&version=AMPC

    That bit around verses 15-20 is the pertinent area.

    Simply wait 1 decade, and see: if Israel still exists, as a country, in 2033, I’ll eat a hat.

    And it was entirely preventable, had there been enough committment to having neutral authorities in West Bank ( UN ), and NO political-dishonesty OR nationalist bullying permitted from either side…

    Needless, politically-enforced & needless…

  • I’ve become of 2 minds about leather footwear & gloves:

    The primary alternative to leather is plastic, which, when it breaks-down, sabotages the food-web, right?

    Leather doesn’t do that.

    I honestly don’t know what The Right Answer™ is, on that one, anymore.

    I’m usually vegan, btw, not for ideological/religious reasons, but simply because doing otherwise blocks my ability to reach the meditations I need.

    I do find butchering animal lives for a mere few-meals unethical, but refugee Buddhist monk Kelsang Gyatso pointed-out in one of his books, IF a person has anemia, THEN the right antidote is eating red meat.

    He’s ordained, a Geshe, and he is recommending that right in his dharma.

    Years-enduring clothing is a much less desolating consumption than needless meat-eating.

    Exactly as that brilliant psychological truth in the Christian bible shows, naive truth, aka symbolic “truth”, is syrupy-sweet in one’s face/mouth, whereas digested & real, experience-induced-understanding Truth, is bitter.

    See for yourself:
