As leo said, consciousness and wisdom and caution increase your survival more than selfishness. While you are driven by fear, you are not effective at survival.

I'm aware that 90% or more of my ideas or projects will go to trash bin. Being aware of this is good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon's_law says

There's dynamic balance. When you are just imagining in your mind, you can explore craziest ideas. When you actually implement ideas, you got to prune bad ideas. It's like writing a novel. When you explore ideas for novel, you come up with all sorts of weird ideas in brainstorm sessions. When you actually write the novel, you have to cut out most ideas. At some point, you got to stop exploring and start delivering the novel. Exploration and delivery. If you are too careful in exploration phase, you won't come up with much.

In general, yes. In this specific case, I don't think I or others will become ideological about my ideas. Rather, I expect 99% of people to ideologically reject my ideas, and most of 1% to shrug them off as amateurish ideas. You're right. I don't intend to become professional in governance. Governance is not for me in this lifetime. I'm just a frolicking amateur who likes to have fun with random cool ideas. Many people like to fantasize about cool ideas from time to time. If I ever became serious about governance and made it my life purpose, I may think differently and approach it differently and more seriously. The purpose of this thread was to practice thinking outside the box although I'm not sure if I properly got outside the box.

I don't think it is the answer. But, it's a fun idea to bounce with. Ideally, this kind of idea grows organically. I don't like my ideas to be fed forcefully from a small group of elites. At this point, it's primarily an intellectual exercise for the mind. No serious intention to implement anything seriously. Even if I had serious intentions to implement them seriously, I wouldn't be able to implement them at any scale without massive personal development. If I ever created a company, I might apply my own ideas to it and write a book about it after accumulating years of direct experiences. Or, a game company could apply my idea to a new release of simcity. I like the idea of testing ideas in simulations. At the very least, it's fun ideas for simulation games.

I like neither.

I'd like to see countries split up into hundreds of small cities. I want to see city states. City states will increase competition among governments. If there is more competition among governments, immigration will become better. Competition is a safety valve against collective devilry. I want hierarchies to become a lot shallower than they are now. I also want religions to become smaller so that they compete with each other. Islam and christianity became too big. Shallower hierarchies also create more of independent thinkers.

My thoughts // the national blockade sucks balls.

If you are forced only to pay tax, you are lucky. There are also jury duty and military conscription around the world. On top of that, we also have torturous mandatory public schooling.

Here's my current stance. Bernie Sanders will probably make a great president. I'm just more curious about what Andrew Yang will do. I am not very curious about Bernie Sanders because he is not as experimental as Andrew Yang. I like voting for experimental candidates who might even not stand a chance.

Acceptance Accept that they do not love you in the ways you like them to. Accept that you felt hurt about it. Assessment and awareness Recognize how you are screwing your relationships. Take responsibility for your relationships. Make it so that you are respected and heard. This is a hard work that can take a lifetime.

Can I order 500mg of disadvantaged perspective?

It's not like Bernie wanted his supporters to be angry and spiteful. Or, did he?

One downside of single-payer medicare system is that doctors want to minimize the amount of time they spend with each customer. They want to churn customers as fast as possible. This can feel like indifference and negligence. During speed dating sessions, you get to interview members of the opposite sex for a few minutes. On dating apps, you are passed, and you pass others. Most of the time, professional workers ignore emails from desperate newbies who want some advices so that they can push out more labor of love. A personal development teacher ignores most questions so that it can focus more on helping as many people as possible. Helping as many people as possible often means you get little or no attention from people who can help you unless you pay them substantially. Thus, it helps to create mastermind groups consisting of peers where each person can get some quality attention on one's problems. Try to build a tribe where you can get attention. Try to become reasonably good in your field on your own before creating a mastermind group because creating a mastermind group of dabblers is not going to help you much. Becoming good on your own is possible because you have access to the internet and tools that help you create what you want to create. I hope artificial intelligence would be able to help those who need some attention in the future.

That's a short-term thinking. In the longer term, every country on earth will be impacted by automation. It will leave impact craters.

It's simple. They screwed a protest. They screwed themselves by being amateurish. They didn't put enough time and energy into this. They need massive personal development in order to pull off a protest beautifully. Here is an example of an extreme but beautiful protest. A beautiful protest inspires awe.

Physical reality is supposed to be a lucid dream in my mind.

I wonder whether attacking repair industry is a big enough issue for him to notice. Putting repair shop owners in prison next to rapists and murderers doesn't feel right to me. Louise Rossman said Eric Lundgren was put in prison because he couldn't make the judge born in 1943 understand the difference between a free restore disk and a license key. The judges don't know much about technical issues, and technology companies exploit their lack of expertise to make sure that customers are not able to fix their computers. If they cannot fix their computers, they are going to buy new computers. I wonder whether AI judges can mitigate the expertise problem in the future. As I wrote before, artificial intelligence can do a lot of mental tasks in the future. An artificially intelligent judge can read many wikipedia pages to learn about technical issues such as the difference between a free restore disk and a license key.

It's very hard to earn a billion dollars. There are rumors of exploitative tactics used by microsoft. Microsoft and Apple are known to sue repair technicians because repair technicians slow down the rate of material churning. Microsoft put Eric Lundgren in prison for copying windows restore CDs that are available for free on the internet. If bill gates cared about little people, why would he let microsoft put Eric Lundgren in prison?

You are not very different from a chimp at a zoo. You need some guidance.

It can be dismantled, but it's still good to try it even if it is not implemented well initially. At least, if we try it, we will get more large-scale data and learn from it. Economic results can be random. But, learning is always progressive.

I want explicit provocation from a sexy girl. You will have more compassion. You will have more compassion even for an asshole like trump.

As I see people criticize Donald Trump on this forum, I notice that a lot of what he does is what a lot of average people do. People criticize Trump often so that they do not reflect on how they are like Trump. As I read their criticisms of Trump, I noticed that many of the criticisms apply to me, too. I was feeling that they were criticizing me instead. Oftentimes, those who criticize Trump are not very different from him. This video fits this thread well.

Accept the fact that you are going to join and leave groups over time in one way or another. Having multiple options makes you less desperate. Join or create a few high-quality groups so that being asked to leave in one group doesn't dismantle your entire social life. Don't put all eggs in one basket. Fortunately, you belong here as well. Accept the fact that your friends didn't defend you. It is what it is. Being anxious about it is counter-productive. But, you can learn from your friends. Exploit your friends to grow yourself.

The group has run its course for you. It's time to let go.
