  • the ruling meta-regime is in the process of enforcing the non-ruling-classes into an inescapable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon & enforcing learned-helplessness on all they can.

    Feudalism, unbreakable.

    ONLY right-technology, right-law, right-regulation, etc, CAN make human-lives be worth-living in a world where technology distorts so potently as ours now does.

    Unless you/someone finds the one who can coerce a meaningful portion of our world to do the right-action/right-speech/right-law/right-technology thing, all the way through,* then … feudalism’s our epitaph.

    Social-pressure’s incapable of coercing such regimes, so is “political-will”/whim.

    East-Germany, but “perfect”, is our fate, unless someone breaks the undertow/trend, soon.

  • Anyone who believes Microslop corp …

    ROTFLMAO

    & their machiavellianism means that probably they’ll make security-updates contingent on adding-in their new evil-malwares into one’s system.

    ( They burned me in DOS 6.20, when their corrupt illegal-copy of Stac Electronics drive-compression was sabotaging me, & I got the no-compression-enabled DOS 6.21, then they came-out with a compression-enabled-and-fixed DOS 6.22, which I wasn’t eligible for, of course…

    It’s depressing just how much of the internet is scrubbed of evidence, stories on the evil of big-money establishments/incumbents…

    so, instead of having books ( someone did have a book on Microslop-corp’s machiavellian evil actions-history, it’s gone, now: can’t even find what it was called, & it was a physical book ) & trustworthy-Journalism cataloging the history we NEED to keep in mind, for accurate-framing … all that is disappeared & we all live in the consent-manufacturing-process that the economy “needs” us to be processed in.

    Never trust them.

    For any reason.

    Ever.

    They WILL betray you.

    Read “A New Brand World” ( the word-order is correct ), & read about a marketing-firm who had Microslop-corp as their highest-paying contract, by far, & … it was killing them: they had NO soul.

    The CEO of the marketing-firm sent around an email, 1 day, which said ONLY:

    “Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead.”

    & EVERYbody knew that that meant the CEO had saved their company’s life by killing that contract, because the “culture” of Microsoft was extinguishing their viability.

    That is evidence.

    Steve Balmer was evidence, too.

    All the companies whose work they stole, & litigated against the companies, while selling/bundling the same product, all those are evidence, too.

    Ask Linus Torvalds about Microsoft, someday, if you want an opinion on them… I’m certain he’d agree, as he’s seen the same kinds of things, & more, for decades…

    They will never be trustworthy, if their history predicts their future.

    There was the time they gave people cloud-drive storage…

    …but their ToS-agreement gave Microsoft copyright on all that we stored up there…

    You truly can’t make up the consistency of machiavellianness that Microsoft has carved in Eternity’s eyes…

    You have hit-upon exactly the perfect proof of why Justice has to be left to karma, & harm-reduction has to be what humankind’s doing.

    Murdercide is what New Scientist called the suicide-bombers, as murder is the point, & that needed to be in the term

    Harm-reduction, correction, & preventing-future-harm are the 3 that humankind can do, but Justice is something that only karma ( “what a soul sows, that soul has no-alternative but to reap” ) can enforce, at ITS timescale ( many-many-lives, not mere-years ).

    The details of different cases would have to be the basis of sorting-out how harm-reduction & correction ought be done, & eventually the principles required would become clear, & could be codified, but the underlying-fact is that Justice requires that ALL the guilty be corrected, & the rude fact that some remove themselves, so as to exempt themselves from accountability, means that at our timescale, Justice is only an aspiration/anchor/direction, not something that we can guarantee.

  • People said that what Trump’s doing was “impossible”.

    When you’re seeing people who’re in the process of removing all the checks+balances, & I’m talking about Trumpites in Canada doing that in Alberta, because they got power, then predicting based on the establishment-framework is bullshit.

    Trump’s already removed a foreign country’s leader, charged him, & then dropped the charges, so now they’re trying to come-up-with other charges, from what I’ve read…

    Establishment’s “order” is only-convention, at this point.

    Trump can annex Alberta with the Trumpites in Alberta, who’re in-power, SIGNING AGREEMENT with that & then it’d be a military problem for Canada.

    Living in the past’s habit is idiotic.

    Trump’s changing the rules, & the QC separatists are fighting to butcher Canada every bit as much as the Albertan ones are.

    With Trump-regime’s help, they’re a real threat to Canada’s viability in the coming All-Americas war, after Trump ditches pretence-of-democracy, & concentrates entirely on his “continental kingdom”/“manifest destiny”.

    See the thransformation’s still-accelerating progression for what it is!

  • You probably need to take out a personal loan, at your bank, to pay for it.

    Crowdfunding, & this sure as hell wasn’t obvious to me, until I read it, is dependent upon ALREADY-ESTABLISHED fanbase whom one can draw-on.

    IOW, IF you’ve got a following of hundreds on yt, or something, THEN you can use that with a FundRazr or something, to raise funds.

    Otherwise, there are zillions of people begging money, & a significant fraction of those are scams.

    & we … aren’t in the business of being suckered, repeatedly.

    ( sorry I’m not offering to help: zero income, & homeless-again in 2 weeks: life sucks, but that’s karma )

  • Some years ago, Dr. David Williams ( whose website is now gone ), had a paper-newsletter.

    A friend of his had cancer, & was in an experimental-drug-trial.

    He was the ONLY survivor of that trial.

    In the closeout interview, he told them he’d also been taking fenbendazole.

    Oh, well they already knew about that, so his surviving wasn’t surprising, then.

    Dr. David Williams was LIVID.

    Oncologists KNEW a way to defeat cancer, & they SAT ON IT??

    The only site with information on it, nowadays, seems to be:

    https://www.fenbendazole.org/


    I’m a brain-decimation survivor, & have been gaslit by doctors all my life ( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: he taught me to think, but medical-culture’s narcissistic, & I went no-contact with both parents, for years-at-a-time, to protect my life from their prejudice against their inferior’s having any validity )

    IF I had cancer, I’d be taking that, if I could.


    The industry won’t EVER tolerate diminishing of its establishment, profits, or authority.

    The question is falsely-based, thereby.

    Sorry to be cynical about it.

    Go read the book “Doctored”, or the book “Money-Driven Medicine”, or 1 of many many other books on the conflict-of-interest between medical-industry & what it supposedly is for.

    Conflict-of-interest is THE root of corruption.

    Until the reward & the goal are congruent, corruption’s inescapable.

  • I do that.

    I want to see ACCURATE vote-stats on my comments, NOT with the “self-esteem-plushie” self-upvote.

    I find accuracy-of-view much more valuable than social-esteem’s “cushioning”.

    Were I to code a fediverse-server it’d have no means of upvoting/downvoting one’s own posts or comments: everything would start from zero, right where it ought, for accuracy-of-view.

    ( emotional-disinformation is a category/kind of disinformation, & it-too is a comfort-addiction among too-many of our world.

    The older I get, the more-ruthless I have to become, in order to cut-through all the disinformation-gunk that humankind’s snuffing itself, its viability with.

    Emotionally-comforting-disinformation is disinformation exactly as “paper mills” are scientific disinformation. )

    Sometimes I forget to so-so, but every now & then, I’ll go through my profile, removing any polluting upvotes.

    Accuracy’s better than pseudovalidity/comfort.

  • There are 2 opposing emotional-motivations to understand…

    1. the default assumption-river/prejudice/religion/ideology homogenousness is comforting
    2. Science’s competitive-diversity-of-opinion-for-sake-of-FINDING-Truth culture.

    The default, comfort-seeking, results in filter-bubbles.

    The latter can win, but it takes a WEIRD population, who really buys-in to it, to make it work well.

    Any population who does make that work, can out-think & out-innovate the comfort/inertia cultivating cultures.

    Especially in times of chaos, where autopilot reacts on one’s behalf.


    Contributions consistently downvoted, are shown at the bottom of the page, so you may need to intentionally-scroll-down to see the diversity-of-opinion required for robust-knowing.

    ( & some of us, like me, remove our auto-upvote, because I want to see the ACTUAL reaction of others, & not the distorted-by-self-esteem-candy pseudo-view )

  • Are you old enough to remember all the machiavellianisms committed by Microslop corp?

    As a relatively-recent example, their Windows Vista would secretly inform MS of all the search-queries done within windows.

    And … for some incomprehensible reason, that wasn’t prosecuted as a criminal offense.

    So, MS was being informed of things like …

    • hospital searching for “William Smith, bone cancer” & the search found the right file, & THAT kind of information was being forwarded back?

    • police searching for “Bob and Alice, classical physics violators”, & THAT kind of information would be forwarded back to MS?

    You don’t engineer-in machiavellianism like MS has done, for … it’s 40-years now? something like that … without making SOME people understand just how religious some corporations are, about being DarkTriad ( narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy ), in nature.

    & they aren’t the only ones.

    Nowadays, any corporation which violates DarkTriad … is considered … perhaps “mentally ill”, by market standards?

    I’m only using MS as an example.

    Remember when OpenOffice.org became the property of Oracle?

    LibreOffice.org was born in a week or 2?

    Cynicism absolutely is warranted, nowadays.

    I’m old-enough that MS’s stealing of Stac Electronics’ disk-compression algorithm, but they fucked-it-up, in their DOS 6.20 bit me.

    Assuming altruism on the part of some company … that is mental-illness, nowadays.

    I’m not agreeing with the assumption-river of the person you’re replying to, but I am saying that their reaction has basis/validity, nowadays.


    I found out, after using LM Studio, that LLM’s can access everything on one’s own system.

    I don’t know to what degree that’s true with LM Studio, but 1 time I gave an internet-address, & the LLM told me what it had found on the site I just told it of.

    I hadn’t known it had unrestricted internet-access.

    Later, I learned it could probably read every file on my system, too, & some AI-attacks get the LLM to get info from people’s personal files, single-out the credit-card, address, contacts, etc, information, & have the LLM forward that to a server out there…

    That isn’t a security-concern that normals would even consider.

    NOW I know that if I ever fire-up my desktop again, I’ll have to rip-out the LLM’s from my normal user-account, & create a completely-separate locked-down account, with NOTHING ELSE in it, only for them.

    & keep EVERYTHING personal in a different account, that they can’t even see.

    That isn’t an LM Studio specific thing, that is apparently required for ALL the things.

    & nobody’s warning anybody about this?

    I think it was on The Register that I found that out, last year…

  • Oligarchism is just 1 face of concentration-of-wealth-archy: monarchism, communist-party-archism are other variants of it.

    The REAL enemy is our unconscious-nature, our unconscious ego-addiction-to-ignorance-preventing-accountability-or-responsibility-while-assuming-inherent-authority-and-inherent-validity.

    ALL prejudices are rooted in that, not just class-prejudices.

    Until human-nature is force-changed, as it is going to be by the end of this century ( The Great Filter ), we’re going to keep enforcing DarkTriad’s rule for OUR supremacy, no matter what kind of “us” it is that we are identifying-as, gender, race, class, age, culture, ANYthing!

    Nothing can change that.

    It’s simply our world-species equivalent-to-puberty.

    EITHER some subset of humankind force-grows-up COMPLETELY, this-century, XOR… whole-species DarwinAward.

    Ever seen an addict fighting for their own life against their own unconscious-mind’s addiction-to-obliteration-and-nonresponsibility?

    We’re looking at planet-wide equivalent, now.
