As world events are intruding into the orderly society and continued technological development that we require to build AGI, let's review the root causes of the problems we are are facing.
1. the bank. Yes, seriosuly, the bank. =| | No kidding, the bank. The problem is that the way the bank works is so subtle that it is difficult to understand how it is destroying our civilization. I barely understand it myself, here are two fascets of the problem, there are probably more that I don't understand. Do a search for the "balance sheet" of the federal reserve. That's not really correct but it's the total of crap stocks and junk bonds that the fed has bought, mostly since 2008 to "stabilize" the economy. (killed dead is a stable state, right?) Basically what they did is printed up 4 (now 6, I think) trillion dollars and bought money in companies that should have been allowed to fail at the expense of the newer, more innovative, better managed companies that should have replaced them. Worse, the money used to do this is essentially counterfit as it does not represent any real good or service in the economy. Therefore these so-called assets on this balance sheet are ill-gotten gains, ie stolen. So basically the fed has stolen 6 trillion from the economy and counting... The most important number in the economy is the interest rate. I understand very little about finance, but the interest rate is everything. Do a search for Libor rigging. It is the realtime feedback mechanism that is supposed to regulate the economy. If it were set by the market, fairly, it would be awesome. But no, it is controled by the fed, so everyone waits with baited breath for the fed to announce interest rates. This is a fundamentally broken system that is preventing the economy from developing naturally, instead it has been used to throttle and slow economic activity to destroy the middle class. Worse, consider a bank waiting room with Honkler the Clown and Elon Musk (or industrialist of your choice) waiting to apply for money. Because the bank prints money, they don't care about risk. They like clowns, especially because they're good communists, so therefore they get 2%, Elon Musk is an evil exploitative capitolist so therefore he has to pay 8% and struggles to stay in business. Even though the Honkler isn't very good at business, because the playing field is so tilted in his favor, by the arbitrary fiat of the bank, his relative success is not a function of the free market. That is how the bank creates the clown world we live in without any visibly overt action. 2. There is an evil in this world that is unspeakable. It's almost even **unthinkable**. That is how it survives. Nobody is willing to face it because it is so horrible, so therefore it has free reign. I'm about to give you a word that is a key that will unlock the door to a rabbit hole that will lead you to a truth so horrible that it will cause you to hate me for showing it to you. Look, I'm sorry, I didn't make this shit up, and I didn't do it either. The problem is that human civilization is doomed unless all of the guilty are put to death. I mean all of them, anyone with connection to this one word must die. I don't usually like buildups like this but this shit is serious. Here it is, the word is adrenochrome. There, I said it, what you do with the knowledge is up to you. -- The vaccine is a LIE. Powers are not rights. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T1fb1de797e4720b2-M8e420798752e2ba07dad2842 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
