If intoning about self-defense to realtime active inbound
physical violent attack initiated by other against you,
nature law automatically triggers self-defense against that.
You're not going to be tapping waiting relying on that AP app
when someone's physically on you like that in realtime.
And if you have no nature law defense response, or you're
suicide-by-initiator, martyr, absolute pacifist, etc... you've got
a problem to solve, or have chosen such potential outcomes.
That's all off topic.


Non-Aggression-Principle (NAP) refers to the self discipline and
personal responsibility to, in part, not be an Original Initiator of Force.
Look it up. By extension, people that follow the NAP may not
want anything to do with an AP system that could serve an OIF.
People could certainly discuss the area of NAP and OIF re AP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle


AP mechanism might be useful in ending originally initiated
attacks and force against others still ongoing, ie physical wars,
theft regimes, etc.

AP mechanism might be useful in determining and or effecting any
possible course of action to intermediate, typically after attack occurs.
Such as funding apprehension of the murderer, assailant, theif, fraud,
damager, political marionettist, etc, for adjudication, preventive restraint,
restitution, restoration, even forgiving, education, indenturement, etc.

People could certainly discuss how AP mechanism might be
applied to such things (ie: even foregoing AP's often referenced

Similarly, whereas non-aggression people
wouldn't have anything to do with AP,
the recent Iran hit by the US underscores that it would be
GovCorp Politik creating AP and busy going after each
other, even to point of above usage and outcome.
They have already done centuries of WANTED: Dead or Alive,

hardly be far from a natural extension for them to make,

Having payouts is pretty risky, because they could claim that you
aided or abetted a criminal act, but the beauty of using headlines is
that you don't have to suggest that anybody get hurt.  You/US have to
be creative.  It puts equal burden on the headline maker to think of
something that gets *righteous* payback without actually hurting
anyone.  AND you get the added bonus of complete separation from the
act.  I shouldn't have used the example of a CIA director dying of
food poisoning, because that could be construed as incentivizing
murder (especially if you're offering payouts).

I think in the end, the right way to handle this is to think
creatively and not use assassination as a model at all, but keep the
payout bounty idea.  People just have to be more creative at getting
payback.

I've been thinking about your AP idea, and think rather than make mock
contracts on political "targets", which is a bit incendiary, one could
make headline "bounties" that, if met, get rewarded.  Like "CIA

So I've been thinking of a few headline examples:
* "Excrement Catapult baffles local police"
* "Man arrested for putting testicles on double-parked car downtown."
* "Fart panic on flight 403, hysterical cabin threatens landing"
* "A sigh of relief for zero casualities as vacated skyskraper
plummets 1000'." V
* "Crowd screams out of shopping mall after home-made 'stink bomb'
fills apparel store"
* "'Friendly' christian argument ends in puke brawl"
* "Food writers furious after finding semen on their salsbury"
* "Routine stop leads to 20 car pileup."
* "Rogue drives military tank through LA suburb." V
* "Man puzzles customers with labyrinth at IKEA with no way out." V
* "Phone lines flood governors's office at rush hour as "reverse
graffiti" reveals private phone number at I-20 underpass."
* "Man walks into Sunday church, shoots firearm until people are
screaming, and walks out."

Things like this, make things interesting without involving any death.

It's really easy to see ill intent in others.

Unfortunately, it's the angriest that have the staying power -
speaking from personal experience.

grarpamp has repeatedly expressed on this list the position that the
Tor network, though flawed, has certain possibly relevant uses,
whilst quite possibly being useless from a save your skin in
important situations point of view (helo gunship leaks etc).

Now it's also quite possible that in the eons of the misty passages
of ere gone historical long lost times, that grarpamp may have made a
loose statement about Tor. Plenty of us did back in the day.

Perhaps, just possibly, there might be some utility to highlighting
the occasional positive about our fellow travellers on this path
called life, rather than continue to hammer one another over the
negatives...

Re: Assassination Politics AP

2019-12-17 Thread grarpamp
Murder has been around since humanity, same as war
and all other concoctions of immoral force initiated, so
AP is not really any sort of new news upon the world.
Whether it come from Tyrant King, be distributed by
"democracy" as "law", or goes down in a back alley,
of the intertubes... makes little difference there.

And like nuclear weapons, in time someone would
have thought it up, and many will attempt to tinker
with such gadgets until finding the magic combination
that goes boom. Old news.

What is interesting is that AP depends on a
first proof of concept in order to have any
future influence capability. And that each
higher level of influence via its own 1st PoC
adds efficacy surety to all levels of influence
below it. Yet given some experience the world
already has with diabolical machines, and AP
being such a machine, proving in AP may be
unlikely to ever reach murder level, particularly
if lower levels are already providing effective influence
in widespread fashion upon society... the threat of
an already functional system may deter.
ie: AP may be no more "scary" than already nukes,
kings, governments, law, thugs, etc. And might
end up being more moral.

Assuming that one of the levels of influence
may in fact end up being a murder, consider also
that it may be quite unlikely that any sort of
anarchist, libertarian, voluntaryist, etc
would ever take part in its design and operation
due to their superceding belief in the NAP.

Alternatively, consider how millions of others
in world would surely accept a single instance
of proof as necessary to achieve otherwise
peaceful influences thereafter. Thus this cohort
may be far more likely to be the gadgeteers.

In general, consider the various lines of rational
or irrational thinking required to actually launch
such a device. And that history certainly shows
politicians love to develop and launch such
colossal weapons against each other.

Analysis of AP question seems quite related to
nuclear M.A.D. question, game theory, etc.

The system itself must be publicly accessible
so that anons can fund different corrective,
rehabilitative, warning and a variety of other
goals and levels as needed. Predictors come
from all walks and must be able to see the
board to select their jobs. The predictions
must also be public in order for the awarders
to hand out to matching predictors. Funders need
to see correct awards to trust putting their funds
into new objectives. And any derivatives layer would
also need everything public. Predictions could be private
if an AI factbot is awarding to the correct predictor.
And news media would cover changes of heart in
high profile figures anyways.
Initially, until a new far lower equilibrium count
is reached, politicians and evil corp types
will be resigning in large numbers.
Given effectively zero of them resign
in history, that will be more than random.
Other than identities, locations, fintech,
the system is open.

The former solves the problem at the source by

Anyone who understands how AP works will know
that even the most stubborn target will stand down

type of people in various roles to wise up and correct
their ways before then.

Chainlink (LINK) is a decentralized oracle service, which aims to
connect smart contracts with data from the real world. Since
blockchains cannot access data outside their network, oracles are
needed to function as data feeds in smart contracts. Oracles provide
external data (e.g. temperature, weather) that trigger smart contract
executions upon the fulfillment of pre-defined conditions.
Participants on the Chainlink network are incentivized (through
rewards) to provide smart contracts with access to external data
feeds. Should users desire access to off-chain data, they can submit a
requesting contract to ChainLink’s network. These contracts will match
the requesting contract with the appropriate oracles. The contracts
include a reputation contract, an order-matching contract, and an
aggregating contract. The aggregating contract gathers data of the
selected oracles to find the most accurate result.

"The raw text of AP might survive a bit longer.

I'd like to relate a story.  One time, maybe it was 1998 or 2000, I was 
released from prison, and I saw a copy of what purported to be my AP essay, 
somewhere on the Internet.  But it was VERY different!   By different, I mean 
very large numbers of spelling errors, punctuation errors, and other blatant 
defects.   Now, I've long prided myself on being very precise and good at 
checking my work:  There are VERY few errors in the (correct) archive of AP on 
John Young's Cryptome system.  They exist, I think most are actually my errors, 
but are very few.  (I didn't use a word-processor when I wrote AP, just a lot 
of care.)  Most are not spelling errors, or punctuation errors, but they are 
broken sentences that somehow slipped by.
One exception was the seemiing substitution of "evolutionary" for the 
obviously-correct "revolutionary" at the beginning of Part 2.  I couldn't 
possibly have MEANT "evolutionary"!   Particularly in that obvious context.   
And I didn't.   Where that error came from, I have no idea.   I don't doubt 
that it's NOT John Young's fault, and I haven't ever asked him to change 
anything about that version of AP, either.  It obviously came to him in a state 
of error.  How did that initial error occur?    Its now a historic document, 
and editing it now would be...wrong.
But that doesn't mean that I haven't been intensely curious, for many years, 
where that "evolutionary" came from.   It would have appeared on the CP list, 
initially, presumably sometime in July 1995, which is another reason I want to 
see the initial appearance of Part 2.  I hope, I virtually pray,  that I DIDN'T 
screw it up and type "evolutionary" instead of "revolutionary".   It simply 
doesn't make sense to say it that way.  
I once sent a 5-page letter to journalist Andy Greenberg of Forbes,  
https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2013/11/18/meet-the-assassination-market-creator-whos-crowdfunding-murder-with-bitcoins/#51d2df2c3d9b
   
  which I had typed on a prison typewriter (with a correcting ribbon, but no 
automatic spell-check at all).   Later, Greenberg wrote a book, as I recall, 
where he relates receiving my letter, describing it as being "virtually without 
errors".  As if that was supposed to be shocking.  I was disgusted.
Having said that, I wondered where that hugely-defective version purporting to 
be AP came from?  And more importantly, I thought, WHO generated it, and WHY?  
I concluded that somebody was crudely trying to discredit me.  
The errors that were in the 'faked' AP did not appear to be those that would be 
generated by OCR'ing a paper-copy of AP, for instance.  (Such would have been 
obvious, to anyone familiar with using OCR programs on printed text.)   And 
even during that era, the vast majority of document-writing would have been 
done on word-processors with spelling checkers that would be automatically 
enabled, by default.  And most people would use them.  (I've always used 
spelling checkers, when I've used them, as a mere typo-detector.)  So even a 
bad-typist wouldn't have generate that faked document, unless he had been 
deliberately doing so.

At this point, I think the discovery of the fraud of tampering with the CP 
archive could be further, additional proof of the government's malicious 
intent,  I don't doubt that there could be some innocent data-loss, but based 
on what we now see, that virtually cannot be all of it.

There are MMORPGs, Second Life, many other sim platforms
AP could be introduced on. Both in form of the raw text, such
as added to the virtual world libraries, posted on virtual lightpoles,
etc. And as a functional implementation, whether in a virtual
market or embodied into a players character.

Such platforms being centralized, the implementation
would likely be reported and instantly shutdown.

The raw text of AP might survive a bit longer.

The main issue with such proposal as AP,
as you noted, is getting exposure needed to
run it through the critique and development cycles.

For that you have to keep reposting AP
everywhere... literally jamming it into peoples
streams randomly throughout social media,
news releases, journals, etc until a large
enough mass starts to pick it up and work
with it in their brains.

Same as suggesting there is any truth out there
besides the fake two party duopolies, etc...
such as Libertarian Voluntary Anarchist models.
Regardless of how valid the latter may in fact be,
they are immediately dismissed because they
are so far outside the everyday exposure and
programmed computation modes of their brains.

To counter that programming you have to
either get lucky with a starburst logic bomb,
or invest much traditional school time equivalent
in reprogramming them.

For example... the public conferences and interviews
AP has done recently have had more public exposure
effects towards that than all posts here to date.

A few years ago, I heard of a new version of the "Grand Theft Auto" program, 
maybe it was 'version 5', that was going to have an "assassination contract" 
feature built in.  I didn't, and don't, know anything else:  My video-game 
playing days virtually ended about 1997, and I didn't play anything more modern 
later,    (I can remember when Doom I was thought of as "realistic".)
But it seemed to me that video games, especially modern ones, tend to lend 
themselves to immerse players in a modern, semi-realistic environment.   If we 
want to learn as much as possible about the behavior of people with access to 
"assassination contract" scenarios, I assume it should occur in such games.  
What could have been learned, I never checked out.

The first number of successful AP influences (proving runs)
might be performed via AP boards that allow users to specify
runoff of their donations, but that do not show that computation
to potential predictors. Such that the influence funds shown as
available to predictors might put every target of influence at the
same rate, or at least raise the apparent reward for all targets
across the board on average given the variety of runoff donations

This might give the initial handful of proving predictors
equal incentive to prove the system. ie: Whereas a pool
of willing predictors might not be in regional proximity to
the hot targets, this could also serve to level that out,
