This is a short film about transgenderism. This is not real. It is a funded film. I like the atmosphere.

That just means they still have a lot of room for growth and build fundamentals better. You can do personal development until you die and still have a lot more room for growth.

To teach me how to teach myself, cramming a bunch of useless knowledge is not going to work. What we lack is experimentation of different learning models. Public schools or large schools are way too rigid for experiments. Universities are not going to become flexible. I suspect meditation is far more effective at nurturing curiosity and discipline which are important for autodidacts. I'd administer myself various forms of meditation sessions here and there to increase creativity and curiosity. If I set up a tiny school with the goal of fostering curiosity and passion instead of cramming a bunch of knowledge, it may be based on meditation, projects, and competitions and dish out various learning materials from which students choose freely. TJ Reeves has been creating an online university where people are pushed to unlock their potential and their humanity. It seems like a form of personal development. I like it better than cramming useless facts into my mouth.

How scary are they? Are they gun-toting gangsters?

What's the logic behind it? To piss them off and make them leave?

No, you don't. You are going to be physically vulnerable when you are plugged into virtual reality. You don't want to do that unless you live alone in your house. Definitely, don't do it in public spaces because thugs may slit your throat or steal your wallet. I'd maybe plug myself into VR for 1~2 hours a day.

You can imitate physical classrooms on online courses. You can do skype sessions and dish out homework. You will communicate with other students and your teachers. This is probably 70~80% as good as physical classrooms and gets the job done. Online one-on-one tutoring is hugely popular and pretty effective. Your vocal coach can do remote lessons. Your language teacher waits online.

That said, I may just address your concerns here. A perfunctory process may not necessarily engage less people. In my imagination, it could accelerate politics although accelerating politics too much is not very good. Make a voting website. People can regularly visit the voting website to vote for candidates and vote for individual policies. I suspected this could engage people better because it's fun and fast. You don't have to drive to a building. You can turn the entire process into a fun game. You make it far easier to vote, and people will do it more often. I don't know about you, but I'd definitely vote more often if I had access to a voting website. The voting website could even have forums and subforums although forums can become a nightmare. You could also install voting kiosks in libraries. Voting could be made ubiquitous and frequent. But, this could be a security nightmare since there would be a lot of incentives to rig it.

Right now, in a democracy, voting happens synchronously every few years. It is very inefficient and lowers participation rate. In an asynchronous democracy, you would get a text message saying A vote can last a few months instead of 2 years, too. The voting schedule is flexible, and anyone can vote when it's convenient. Since this form of asynchronous voting is far more efficient, direct democracy can be implemented on top of asynchronous voting for presidents and congress. There could be an online voting arena where each province and each federal government submit policy proposals that last for up to 12 months. Since direct democracy is going to affect a lot of people, it's going to attract a lot of attention and incentivize people to vote. However, I don't know if any country is bold enough to allow such radical changes for the foreseeable future.

Fixing such a giant clusterfuck can easily take more than two presidential election cycles. In addition to voting for Bernie Sanders, raise people up so that people continuously vote for better candidates and promote more good candidates.

Maybe, I was being lazy by off-loading problems into the future. I'm quite lazy. How would you fix it now?

Ok, that may happen. Devilry is quite a bitch. But, I think it's hard to predict every side effect of intelligence explosion. It could either break or strengthen healthcare cartel. I mean smartphones had an unforeseen side effect of giving africans cheap access to internet. In africa, wired internet is expensive. Intelligence explosion will cause a lot of unforeseen side effects. I suspect healthcare industry may identify general artificial intelligence as a threat and try to destroy it or delay it as much as possible. I mean it's very difficult to keep prices high when medical artificial intelligence copies itself to death.

I'm already feeling that I'm diving deeper into delusions by theorizing more. If mistakes are very expensive to make, I better invest more time on theory. If I could make small mistakes, it's often better to just test it and refine my theory. So, I'd rather make mistakes as cheap as possible than invest more time in theory. A good rule of thumb is to choose the minimal solution for the most profitable problem at hand. Without getting my hands wet in reality, it's hard to form theories. Theory and practice go hand in hand.

That's a problem of lack of information processing power. Medical training is the bottleneck. In other words, we are the bottleneck. It could take hundreds of years to just train enough numbers of doctors for humanity. If artificial intelligence replaced human doctors in many capacities or virtually all capacities, access to healthcare could become very cheap. It's very cheap to copy a well-trained medical artificial intelligence. I'm really looking forward to the so-called intelligence explosion. It's going to put people out of jobs in the short term. In the long term, we get a lot of benefits.

I read that trump stopped separating children from their parents after being criticized by many people. It can also be considered as parent abuse. It's two sides of the same coin. But, it can still be more traumatic to children because children without their parents are more susceptible to adult bullies. In manila prisons, adult bullies beat orphans. I think the biggest problem is adult bullies. You can avoid disease. But, it is hard to avoid bullies in small spaces. Sometimes, guards are the adult bullies.

As far as I know, it's not just children but also adults. The vast majority in the cage were young adults. By the way, USA is still on the humane side. Manila is worse. If they came to my country, my people would cry for deportation. My people almost deported hundreds of muslim war refugees because our women were afraid of gang rape. They were worried about sharia law and no-go zones.

That's assumptions. Before we test it for long enough, we cannot know the ramifications. We could test this model in small private organizations and scale it upward later. If it works, it's going to scale up gradually.

They may not magically solve problems, but they can do the heavy lifting of menial mental tasks without which we cannot solve a lot of problems. I don't think we can go to the next level of anything in any sane amount of time without their heavy lifting. Computers already do a lot of heavy lifting without which human civilization as we know it may collapse tragically. They can make it far easier to implement free healthcare, free education, free housing, and basic income. As long as we can make them help us, they can do a lot of good.

I think they lack vision and life purpose. Once they discover their life purpose, they will stop exploiting the system. Guaranteeing basic life is good because it's difficult for people to think about life purpose when they are heavily distracted by wage slavery. Wage slavery is a constant stream of distractions.

The main problem is that of budget and scale. Once AI robots become sophisticated enough and cheap enough as you can see in I, Robot(a movie released in 2004), robots can do the heavy lifting. Robots can and will be supplemented by AI education softwares on computer screens. With 1 robot per 5 people on this planet, this is easily done. If every household has one car, it can probably afford one robot in a few decades.

Does germany put 5 or more homeless people in a bedroom? I don't know german standards for basic housing.

While education is good, it is not necessary to herd billions of children into small physical spaces called classes. Forcing everyone to learn at the same pace is terribly inefficient and frustrating. Inefficiency of education is one of the major reasons for becoming a wage slave. In the future, AI robots can dish out basic free education. Robots can be dispatched to various places that need manual labor and education and basic security. Assuming technological singularity occurs in my lifetime, I might see it happen.

"Criteria" is the plural form of criterion. You don't need "s" at the end.

Quality doesn't grow on trees. Low quality governments grow out of nothing. Unfortunately, my life purpose is not in governance. I just wanted to push out ideas that people were not aware of before. But, if I happen to create any private organization, I may apply asynchronous democracy or something like it to the organization. That way, my ideas can grow organically. I like making things happen opportunistically and asynchronously.
