But the libertarian and neoliberal austerity pushers are determined to turn those countries into something that resembles what has become historic inequality in the US where the 1% wrings every last drop of money from everyone else, no matter how much misery it causes the masses.

Wow you nailed a deep idea that I agree with to an extent. However, unless you are simply taking potshots at the competitive male culture, let's not forget that in cases and places where the fulfilled humans live, they DO depend on some level of interaction with society, and can't just be the elves in Tolkien leaving middle earth...dare I say also that this might be why Tolkien wrote the elves (or at least Peter Jackson interpreted) as having that inner social conflict regarding their allegiance to the corrupt world of men. Although I look up to the competitive world of men who derive their purposes from taking a wife and pushing their DNA into the next generation based on competing on any level society will tell them is the requirement for measuring up, I personally am interested in competing only with myself, and for this reason, I will have no problem finding purpose in a post jobs world, assuming I survive the unstable times to get there. Importantly, I'm not against the male competition, as I am concerned that without them the human species goes too soft in the long run. I can only hope that prepping culture will provide the barter systems and other localized systems that will enable the competitive males to continue to find purpose and meaning as we move further into the abyss we find ourselves sinking in now. Imo, a great hope of mine is that the military of the medium far future can enable society to re-coalesce around learning purpose through discipline that focuses on personal improvement no matter how good we are relative to the giga-masses of future human societies. That the military isn't fundamentally tied to being focused on growth based profit systems, gives me particular hope, much as in how Starfleet works in Star Trek. In sum, I sometimes wonder if Roddenberry didn't get some ideas from advanced aliens that may be treating us with their own prime directive currently.

I see that my first reply muddies the exception I took to your core criticism, which seems to be aimed at the 1 percenters. I do agree that certain systems they've put in place have been like funnels, and those funnels have drastically narrowed in recent decades. However, as Nate Hagins(sp?) channel points out about his "great simplification" our problems are not going to go away simply by revolting against the 1%. He is right that although Elon says and thinks a lot of great things, the idea that the earth can support 80 billion people is not one of them. I understand that Elon is in part trying to overcorrect for the current population collapse situation...yes people should have kids...imo people will have kids again when society enables them not to be liabilities, or else we devolve into a dog eat dog world, probably due to Nate's "Mordor economy" concept. Hopefully this clarifies my difference relative to your position.

All of us contribute a base line amount just from our daily interactions, and anything over and above that gives you a heightened contribution score and allows you access to more resources. The baseline data collection would be enough for basics, ideally. A data economy.

I have a question, education. Do you value it? Philosophy, anthropology, history? Awareness of oneself, society and the world. Isn't that the meaning of life? Also, ethics. Already now in some countries animals are treated better than people in others. And what about understanding other people, mutual? Technocracy without human sciences leads to simplification. Why does this happen, thinking is different, abilities are different, the desire for enrichment and survival, subordination of others is connected with competition, not mutual assistance. Of course, many factors must be taken into account, sometimes assistance leads to weakening and degradation of those who are helped. Artificial intelligence will help us understand the meaning of life, this is already happening.

Many, many people would love nothing more than to spend quality time with their kids, pursue passions, and finally relax without the constant stress of working 7 days a week just to make ends meet. For many, this 'unfulfillment' sounds more like an opportunity to live life on their own terms.

@tom the underlying code is “survive.” I call this “The Primal Imperative.” Every I/O cycle reconsiders what it means within the current context. When the fear of death is projected out too far, the human brain cannot comprehend what to do toward that goal. It cannot “do the math.” What will happen for some, is they will become 100% pleasure-seeking animals, and they expedite the process of breaking all the disciplines required to sustain civilization. Others, likely the more enlightened, will ask further research on achieving immortality. That has been the pursuit through the entirety of building civilization in the first place. “Buying more days of less energy expenditure toward the goal of survival.”

Thanks for the video mate very informative👍. Also, did y’all know that Judge Torres has made her final ruling in the SEC vs Ripple case, with a judgment that Ripple must pay fines/ penalties of just over 125m$. It’s much less than the 2B$ the SEC was asking for. This means the case is now over, though either side can appeal. If that happens, it could take a couple of years to resolve. However, the SEC cannot appeal the ruling that XRP is inherently not a security.

You don't ask a person fully addicted to a drug if they want to get off the drug. The drug would have changed what they want to be on the drug. Once we are able to rewrite our brains then it will be our rewritten brain that makes the next decision. You are not able to choose your own choices. Your choice is dictated by previous choices and conditions outside of your control. The power to choose your own desires assumes you choose the desire to change your desires and that you didn't actually choose the desires you currently have. This is why we can not rewrite our own brains. Would you change your world to fit what you desire? Or change your desires to fit the world you are in?

My humble opinion is that people will engage in politics and sexual selection. In this regard, no one will be bored. At a minimum, people will argue which part of Mars to terraform first, how many bases on the moon to build first. People will argue about where to create a nature reserve, and where to build a skyscraper or an underground base. There is still a long period of incremental improvement of people, biologically, or through symbiosis with machines. Well, there will also be bad guys that society will have to fight together.

Just because AI can be programmed to think like a human doesn’t mean it should have rights! Our thoughts are a whole body experience, like pooing yourself, vomiting, or heavy breathing when scared, weird or creepy observations can make your hair stand on end, desire to procreate, your stomach turning when excited. These instinctive experiences are what make us alive and not just conscious. We feel the world with our whole being we don’t just think about it.

The ego evolved for a purpose. It is the purpose that matters, not the ego. If we eliminate the need to strive, our brain and bodies will atrophy. If all our needs are met in Utopia, we will have no purpose other than procreation. We will evolve into mindless breeding machines.

I'm rather intrigued by the way this guy euphemises total disaster as 'turbulence' and kind of just moves on. It reminds me of a book I read called 'Fate is the Hunter' (Ernest K Gann), which is his account (as a pilot) of the pioneering days of the Aviation industry. With respect to transformational technology, if the question is 'what can go wrong?', the answer is quite a lot. AI looks a bit like this, but probably blown up by several orders of magnitude.
