Why can't you just print out the forum posts and publish that as a book? Saves you lots of time. (joking, obviously)

The big problem is that the US makes tyrants look good because they appear to be the resistance against a vampiric predator, which isn't entirely untrue. The left will support the ayatollahs, Kim Jong-il, or whoever else stands up to the resource-stealing Goliath. We might think: the smart thing to do is to collaborate with the US; it's the hegemonic power, and opposing it is stupid and you gain nothing. But in many cases (too many), if you let it have its way, it will rape you like an 8-year-old girl on Epstein's island -
@LambdaDelta Thanks for sharing

To think capitalism is the best system we will ever be able to create is insane. It is a step in organizing humanity, but instead people treat is as an end goal. I think we are well overdue to start working on a system that consiously handles modern humans instead of blindly following the economic principles we created to handle medieval scarcity. Scarcity does not have to exist anymore. It is purely artificial by an outdated system. We are not evolving capitalism only because we are still trying to dominate other people. It is a very effective tool at that.

Headed out to build our LEGO at the Library. Gonna ask the library staff for an extension of time for our private room since we are running late. Our room color is Teal! Update: Teal has been taken so now we are Orange

About the Pascal blog post, I disagree with the framing that Pascal was some kind of genius who understood the limits of science. He seems to have been a good scientific thinker who had one mystical experience, but that doesn’t mean he was that advanced. It’s a trap to assume that scientists of the past were beyond modern materialists just because they believed in God. That’s an underestimation of the power of conformity and belief. The most intelligent scientific minds may be philosophically and existentially stupid— they’re different domains. It’s also wrong to assume that what people in the past meant by faith/the heart is the same as direct experience. No, they’re often just talking about believing something.

(Thanks for reminding me of causation. I will add it to the list of bimodals. I'm not claiming anything is causing anything.) Yes I agree the modes arise from convergence. Also, I agree that the modes are reducible to ontological existence (I think I'm calling this neutral mode of existence ontonic, and it might be where the term "non-duality" fits neatly into my model) Here is a wild shower thought. Maybe convergence is actually the topic of the myth of the tower of babel. If every human was perfectly ontonic, then everyone would live in total harmony with each other or at least in modal alignment. But it would maybe also mean, that we were all too buisy with building a tower and archiving enlightenment that we would forget to care about survival, which is why convergence and the differences between the modal profiles of different people have evolved. Just a thought. Not a formal point.

@BlueOak Challenge accepted, but I need to admit: I didn't design this right now. I've been building it for the last year. The protocol you're asking for exists: the Bioregional Autonomous Zone (BAZ), but there's a design choice I'd like your feedback on: BAZ isn't designed as a framework. It's an emergent institution. Instead of creating a monolithic "BAZ handbook," (although looking back, I did create a 'bioregional compass' as possible easier path in), I designed it as the natural outcome when several foundational protocols intersect: 1. The sovereignty layer (indigenous framework + FPIC 2.0). Defines how communities can claim bioregional stewardship. Provides veto power (Free, Prior, Informed Consent 2.0. The result is that BAZs can't be imposed top-down, they emerge from communities choosing to claim authority over their watershed/ecosystem 2. The economic engine (adaptive UBI + dual currency). Hearts currency for care work (eldercare, teaching, community support). Leaves currency for verified ecosystem restoration. Both non-tradable, creating closed-loop local value circuits. Intended result: Money circulates locally instead of draining to Wall Street. 3. The coordination layer (meta-governance framework). BAZs can form federations without surrendering sovereignty. Trade using verified ecological metrics (race to the top). Crisis protocols that can activate/deactivate based on conditions. The result should be neither isolated communes nor centralized control 4. The commons transition (hearthstone protocol). Legal tools for transitioning land from private extraction to community stewardship. Stewardship trusts instead of private title. The outcome is that land can be managed for regeneration without waiting for revolution The design question I'm asking you (and others reading about): By making BAZ emergent rather than defined, we avoid the "one size fits all" trap : a fishing village BAZ will look different from a mountain farming BAZ. The protocols provide the grammar, not the sentence. But this also means you can't just "download and install" a BAZ. You need the underlying infrastructure (AUBI, land transition legal tools, sovereignty protocols). Is this the right tradeoff? Should we instead create a "BAZ-in-a-box" that's simpler but less adaptive? Or is the emergent approach actually the feature, not the bug? I think we are seeing this trade-off play out in real-time. I've been pitching 'civil defense upgrades' (components of this) to Swedish municipalities. The friction we are finding is exactly what you hinted at: Emergence scares bureaucrats. They want a predictable product to buy, not a process to trust. This might be why the uptake is slow, not because the mechanics fail, but because the interface might be too open-ended for the current governance operating system. I'll DM you the full documentation. It's extensive (50+ frameworks across 4 tiers), but the indigenous sovereignty, bioregional governance/meta-governance, and AUBI sections are the load-bearing structures. My hope is that the work bears fruit, just waiting for the right seed conditions and intelligent critique to improve it. I appreciate the words, but I need to be transparent: My mind isn't 1 in 10,000, or at least maybe not in the way you might think it is. It is just augmented. I use AI as cognitive scaffolding to handle the complexity. What I bring is a heartfelt intent, the ethical compass to keep the machine pointed at life. We don't need a philosopher king; we just need humans with clear intent using the right tools. -
Time for a retreat. Not a frantic recoiling out of fear, but rather paradoxically, it is time for a deliberate and tactful retreat based on courage. Call it Inwards illumination?

Thank you for the reminder. This blog post got longer since the last time I checked it. l look at it again later when I have time.

Just having red a little bit about convergence, I 100% agree with your emphasis on it. I wrongly assumed that it is only a holotaxonic concept at best, but I now realize that it can totally be used as an omnimodal tool.

what can be expected to happen when you corner a Rattlesnake?

Death simply meaning that the identity of being a finite being is no longer and your identity is one with God. If it goes against my survival agenda it is frightening. Surrendering allows me to go beyond that fear. Ultimately, I don't know. That's the mystery. Let's keep going.

Rofl that person never saw a red in their life I love how this thread has devolved onto Australia-isms now 🥹

now if that isn't clickbait idk what is:) haven't read everything you said before so i might not get the joke but i'd be careful with that one though. don't forget the agenda with which (and the state of cognitive development from which) he dropped said "sermons".

... i did all the wrong things again to deal with my stress levels. would appreciate some therapeutic support at this point, but it's hard to find. a common argument is they reject me because i'm too sick, so i need more therapy, but that's how i miss out on even the smallest amount of therapy and end up having none.
