He understands.

So, East Germany, basically, with tech.

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )

& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.

( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )

so, I can’t understand your position.

Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.

Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.

You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.

That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.

Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Wasn’t there a competitor named Mattermost?

a FLOSS competitor?

A question to consider, in the frame-of-reference of these 10:

What are the rights of rabies-virus?

It is a form of life, so it must have rights, then, yes?

Smallpox?

Ebola?

Bloodworms?

Cancer?

Malfunctions happen, chaotically: including malfunctions in genetics, in evolution, in ecology, etc.

Sometimes correction is required.

Within an individual, within a population, or within an entire-ecology.

This 10 doesn’t allow that.

( also, it is life, not existence, which is the fundamental-validity: lumps of lead exist, they aren’t living )

just the opinions of an autistic rando, is all:

pay no attention to meanings of mine.

Decades ago, I discovered that there are 4 dimensions that need to be covered, in balance, in community news:

• the Strategic issues, 7+y as a rough guideline, for significance
• the Tactical issues, 1-3y as a rough guideline
• the little Pervasive annoyances that never get given a headline, but are a “tax” on people’s wellbeing
• Grow The Good!! community, culture, accomplishments, anchoring people’s hope, humanity, validity, etc.

Leaving-out any 1 of those 4 dimensions has long-term costs.

this is just what one autist discovered, it doesn’t mean you have to think there’s any validity in the concept.

1. insightful question,

2. it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.

“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”

A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).

It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.

Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.

Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…

The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.

“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.

It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.

Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??

Do it.

Everybody do it.

Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.

I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.

There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.

No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?

Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.

1984, but for-profit.

Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.

Light.

Absolutely stupendous quantities of high-quality, full-spectrum light.

Live in a light-box.

There is a circuit which goes from pigmented-ganglia ( black-pigmented nerve-endings ) in our retinas, into our brains.

That sensor-system is rather dull, unlike the rods & cones.

Rig a room’s light-switch so that when you flick it, suddenly you’re saturated in sufficient light to cross your light-threshold, about 1/2 second later, it’s like vital aliveness kicked into your brain.

I’ve replicated the experiment, and I’ve gotten others to do it, too.

One non-obvious thing, though:

Because when we’re in the dark, we can’t remember what it felt-like to have that light-brain circuit activated ( the SAD-treatment lights are intended to cross this threshold: it’s the same mechanism ), so therefore, to treat profound, long-term depression, you NEED to get tons of lights onto a timer, & use that as your “alarm clock”.

It works.

It’d save many lives, if doctors would admit it is actual, evidence-based medicine, but that’d gut billions of dollars of psychiatric-industry, so … that won’t ever happen.

( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: I remember the grudge/hatred when the Australian researcher violated psychiatry’s established “ulcers are a psychiatric illness” dogma, with evidence showing that ulcers are created by pylorii bacteria.

Paychiatry won’t ever do the experiment, they won’t admit it works, they won’t tolerate anybody claiming it works, etc.

Religion is religion, and my autistic-empiricism has no validity in their reality.

Do the experiment, though, & you’ll see that it actually tests to be true. )

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1axll4s/reddit_files_to_go_public_reveals_that_it_paid/

• Spez got paid, according to that, $193,000,000 last year as CEO.

• reddit “never turned a profit”.

I can’t imagine the corruption/anti-integrity required to reconcile those 2 facts.

How come he isn’t in jail, for fraud??

it is called “establishing ownership”.

Once their identity is consolidated that way,

then they can enforce their certain-in-their-own-unconscious ownership of Asia, through any violence necessary.

You can see equivalent self-dishonesty in the West, & you can see it in Modi’s delusion that Russia is going to help them against China, even through Russia is financially now a vassal-state of China…

Once the economy guts the Democrats in the US, losing them the 2024 election, & Trump guts NATO, backs Russia & Saudi Arabia,

what is going to protect Asia from China’s smashing it like they did Tibet?

7 years from Trump’s coronation ( in 2025 ) is all Asia has left, it seems.

Establishing ownership is fundamental to bullying, btw: rodents do it, sneaking into places at night, so that they feel righteous when fighting for “their” new territory during the day…

I hadn’t understood that bullying had both a yin/molesting/violating phase & a yang/overt-bullying phase until rodents taught me how it’s done…

The governments who push privacy-violating laws & systems, then later stomp civil-rights, they are demonstrating exactly the same Pattern.

The religions who push for “some” control of everybody’s life, relentlessly pushing for “a little more” authority, then once a tipping-point is crossed, suddenly they can switch from yin-bullying to yang-bullying … same thing.

It’s a really common pattern throughout human history, lately…

There is a positive-feedback-loop of culture-polarization, prejudice, ideology-addiction, and identity-formation, that is getting activated more & more & more, now, globally…

I’m using amazon.com links so you can read the reviews, not to recommend them as where you buy books from. ( Bookwyrm isn’t populated enough to default to them, yet )

https://www.amazon.com/Tribal-Leadership-Revised-Leveraging-Organization-ebook/dp/B006IDG1K6/

identifies the 5 culture-levels/modes.

Once you’ve read that, you’ll realize that humankind is being pushed lower & lower on the scale.

Level-2 breeds conspiracism, because it is beneath Level-3’s narcissism-culture ( and narcissistic sociopathic authority has become a cultural-addiction to the point of being social-status ).

https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman-ebook/dp/B00555X8OA/

is a book on the 2 mind-functions/categories, which he calls System-1 & System-2.

System-1 is ( in my opinion ) Limbic mind ( herdbeasts have it ), whereas System-2 is deliberate & considered thinking…

The lower in the 5 culture-processes a person is, the less System-2 they exercise.

Throw-in an ocean of economically-enforced Attachment Disorder, saturating entire-generations ( parents couldn’t afford to be present & to parent their kids, consequences implacably grow ),

and you’ve got the feedback-loop to guarantee the nonviability of humankind.

Escalation will continue, and the Dark Pentad, as I call it ( the professionals don’t accept that it is 5D )

Narcissism/Machiavellianism/Sociopathy-Psychopathy/Nihilism/Sadism continues grabbing more power, as the System-1’s pseudo-thinking enforces more reacting, and Dark Pentad capitalizes on that…

It’s quite elegant, when you consider how efficient it is at guaranteeing The Great Filter’s extinguishing of our kind…

Frustrating & depressing, but elegant as hell.

Notice that Russia’s Learned Helplessness culture “gets even” through nihilism & sadism, as the myriad torture-operations strewn throughout Wagner territory & Ukraine both demonstrate…

Putting the harm on others is, for people oppressed long-enough ( like the Russian people deformed in Leninism & beneath the oligarchy/dictatorship ) a survival mechanism, psychologically.

So, as multiple forces/factions work at breaking human-worth/values from having any say in the rule/operation of our world, … the lashing-out ( mass-shootings are now at more than 2x per day, in the US ), the nihilism ( common in Level 1 culture ), the sadism, all multiply themselves AND multiply each-other…

Think of it as multiple “bulls” battering heads, to see who gets to be the “god bull”…

Legalism is one of them, materialism/moneyarchy is another, class-based-validity is another, authority worship is another…

Notice that humanitarianism isn’t one of the contenders fighting for planetary dominion…

Another thing, is to be able to switch between the apparent view, the political view, and the system view…

Islamist totalitarian authoritarianism & Zionist totalitarian authoritarianism both are totalitarian authoritarianism.

So, politically they are enemies, but they both are committed to breaking the world to their totalitarian authoritarianism.

Every country has such … puppets … of the 4 false-religions.

( legalism, materialism/moneyarchy, class-based-“validity”, and authority-worship, are the 4 false religions )

When the economy collapses, you’re going to see a sudden & immense tilt from the current careful-thinking/considered world, that we live in in fall 2023, into a deranged, aggressive, polarized & violent System-1 world, & fascism will be gaining supremacy pretty-much everywhere, globally.

“Big Think” on yt has a good vid on the 10 behaviours of fascism.

This, too, is expressing PunctuatedEquilibrium, the Pattern which expresses at all scales throughout Universe…

E.g. of PunctuatedEquilibrium

{ Big Bang, itself; CMB; stages in a star’s life, like ignition, red-giant, collapse, & detonation/nova; our planet’s oxygenation, termination of dinosaurs, other mass extinctions, the creation of our Moon, much of human history’s battles & treaties, birth, graduation, marrying, employment, injury, death, electron-shell energy-states, atomic-decay, galaxy-collision, … }

We’re simply unconsciously enforcing that our toddler-nature get to be the only controller of our world’s fate/viability/“vehicle”, and ratcheting ourselves into the Tantrum of Tantrums, jacked with & backed by all the military, industrial, propaganda/Leninism/Murdochism ( he remapped Leninism from left to right, used TV instead of “education”, and we call it “populist dictatorship” instead of “proletariat dictatorship”, but it’s fundamentally identical in method ), and every other enforcement-of-non-reasoning/enforcement-of-non-consideration/enforcing-of-non-objectivity.

Species-puberty, iow.

It’ll be interesting to see if any survive this century.

So, the nonthinking automatic aggression, the narcissistic System-1, and the machiavellianism, that you’re seeing now, should be significantly eclipsed by what it turns into, as soon as the context gets worse.

Anybody who ignores the Financial Class, and how civilization’s laws are formed in concordance with money-lobby/authority, isn’t competent to be discussing what system we are living-in.

Capitalism without highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is capitalism.

Once highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is included, it changes to moneyarchy.

As it exists, it is a mixture of oligarchy & corporate-moneyarchy, but it definitely isn’t “just” an economic system, it is a world-governing regime.

https://www.vox.com/2014/4/10/5601062/oil-curse-explained

Perhaps you didn’t know that perjury is S.O.P. for tobacco companies, but, of course, prison-time for contempt-of-court can’t happen on a corporation, only on us…

Go look up The Panama Papers, & see if moneyarchy isn’t the correct term for what the evidence shows to be actuality…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

Moneyarchy is the correct & proper term.

As for socialism, whose concept of socialism are you claiming competes against moneyarchy?

Sweden’s seems insane: EVERYbody pays huge taxes AND gets welfare…

Don’t they understand that the more “recycling” of money per unit of result, the more lossy their economy becomes, the higher the “friction” or “viscosity” ( pick your metaphor ), and the smaller the percentage of their effort that actually produces results??

Which Socialism?

• codependency
• interdependency
• ideology-centered
• practicality-centered
• things I haven’t thought-of go here…

I’ve never seen a governmental version of Socialism that wasn’t the codependency-version or the ideology-religion one.

Meritocracy & Socialism … what is in the intersection between those, on the Venn diagram? Nothing?

“you can’t have any meritocracy with socialism” seems to be the belief, among many, but Sweden’s education system seems to get meritocracy right ( unless I’m remembering another Scandi country’s version ), where they simply don’t permit any bypassing of the national meritocratic education system…

Because of political-motivation, objectivity isn’t permitted in this world, and neither is practicality, from what I’ve seen…

And that kind of meta-rule wrecks everything else.

Hell, even gaslighting about “Representative” Republic being “democracy” is so normal I keep forgetting to put that back in viewable place…

As some have noted, the ones who rule make certain that people have things other than the actual issues in-view…

and that is 1 of the characteristics of the -archy regimes, where the population is just herd-animals, consumed by the powers that really run the world ( for-profit corporations parasitically feed-on the human-herd, manipulating humanity’s awareness to remain fed-upon, is one accurate metaphor )

The whole narcissism/machiavellianism of orienting government to the most-successful narcissist-machiavellian, and through “elections” making certain that competency & responsibility are punished, in the “game”, by giving authority to the narcissist-machiavellian ones, preferentially…

Reward-systems are feedback loops and have consequences…

Try convincing … anybody … that Boris Johnson is a thorougly-responsible person…

Highjacking of authority from responsibility and accountability … is sooo complete, now…

How come people can’t see that?

Anyways, I meant not national-level competing ( in a different country ), I meant:

IF you find moneyarchy in the US to be bad, then why don’t you create an alternative-to-moneyarchy economy within the US??

You want socialism, or barbarism, or maybe you equate the 2 ( from your phrasing I can’t know which ), so, why don’t you form socialism-competing-against-moneyarchy in the US?

Why don’t you & all the believers-in-socialism create socialism in the US?

Is there some law that prevents socialist businesses from existing??

Is there some law that prevents socialist groups of businesses from existing??

The fact that there simply doesn’t seem to be ANY such competing-economy IS EVIDENCE that either it isn’t permitted by government, or that it isn’t permitted by the moneyarchy regime, or that the socialists, themselves, aren’t competent to do it, or all 3 of them, simultaneously.

DECADES everybody has had to be producing alternative-economies within the US, and … where are they?

I just realized that I’m including perspective that is required, and not common.

“Slicing Pie Handbook” is a book on startup equity-slicing.

Without understanding how equity needs to be properly distributed, and … ah, yes, “Founder’s Dilemmas” is also required … when people who aren’t responsible gain authority, you CANNOT make the business/system/regime work… the ones who gained authority without responsibility effectively highjack the enterprise, holding it hostage to their whims/demand/extortion, and … if the contract that is in-place permits them that authority, the enterprise may need to die…

Remap that to country, and corporations, instead of an individual company with persons, and the same highjacking happens, especially when financially-emplaced political-parties ( and, through them, their financial backers ) are the highjackers.

Responsibilityarchy is the real requirement, but it’ll never be tolerated by any incumbent political power, left or right.

Not responsible AND accountable? break them from authority, then.

Have you got any idea how long that kind of idealism would be allowed to live?

1 week, maybe?

Socialists have the same ability to create businesses as anybody else, so why haven’t they created socialist businesses, & multiplied the things until 20% of the businesses in the US are socialist operations??

even 5%??

There is something fundamentally wrong with what the evidence is showing, and its showing that that apparently can’t evolve…

Learned-helplessness produces both Nihilism & Sadism.

The Russian soldiers’ habit of making torture-chambers everywhere proves this.

Russian culture’s “fate regime” concept of relationship also proves this ( it proves the learned-helplessness aspect of it ).

( apparently that article explaining how in Russia, people entirely accept that fate, and nothing else, decides who marries who, is now … gone??

Neither DuckDuckGO nor google have it… )

Deterrent requires that both parties have aversion to destruction.

However, when 1 party has become nihilist, then they can assault the other as a means of baiting the other into sadistic-aggression, in order that all the neighbours commit to annihilating the one who was successfully baited into demonstrating genocidal sadism.

Israel won’t exist, in 10 years, no matter what, now.

NOTHING can make the Arab world accommodate its life, now.

Nothing.

The Christian Bible’s Matthew 24 had a prophecy that is about to become historical-fact, in the coming decade.

Here’s a decent version of it:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matt+24&version=AMPC

That bit around verses 15-20 is the pertinent area.

Simply wait 1 decade, and see: if Israel still exists, as a country, in 2033, I’ll eat a hat.

And it was entirely preventable, had there been enough committment to having neutral authorities in West Bank ( UN ), and NO political-dishonesty OR nationalist bullying permitted from either side…

Needless, politically-enforced & needless…

: \

All this begs the question:

Why not learn crochet/knitting, & make one’s own, of whatever yarn one wants??

( that will happen, for me: I’m fed-up with things that never fit right, or are wrongly designed )

Obviously, therefore, competing against the system of moneyarchy would be the only possible means of displacing its dominion on the world, so, …

… how come nobody’s doing it properly, or at-scale??

I’m talking about a competing economic-system, not competing against a few companies within moneyarchy’s regime.

: )

I’ve become of 2 minds about leather footwear & gloves:

The primary alternative to leather is plastic, which, when it breaks-down, sabotages the food-web, right?

Leather doesn’t do that.

I honestly don’t know what The Right Answer™ is, on that one, anymore.

I’m usually vegan, btw, not for ideological/religious reasons, but simply because doing otherwise blocks my ability to reach the meditations I need.

I do find butchering animal lives for a mere few-meals unethical, but refugee Buddhist monk Kelsang Gyatso pointed-out in one of his books, IF a person has anemia, THEN the right antidote is eating red meat.

He’s ordained, a Geshe, and he is recommending that right in his dharma.

Years-enduring clothing is a much less desolating consumption than needless meat-eating.

Exactly as that brilliant psychological truth in the Christian bible shows, naive truth, aka symbolic “truth”, is syrupy-sweet in one’s face/mouth, whereas digested & real, experience-induced-understanding Truth, is bitter.

See for yourself:

There is an error that many in the dispute are making…

Imagine that BORG-AI is an ai that was trained ONLY on GPL2 program-code…

Imagine that you use it to fill-in some functions in your codebase…

What sort of copyright-status should be on those??

I say they should be GPL2, and they should be considered derivative of the ENTIRE training-data-set.

That doesn’t mean I think that the BORG-AI should be a copyright holder, though!

I’m saying that there should be a NEW category, between uncopyrighted & copyrighted, and that the training-sets need to be segregated by license, so that derivatives CAN know what their legal licensing-status is.

GPL2, GPL3, BSD, LGPL2, whatever… it needs to be consistent within the training-data-set, so that the derivative of THAT module/expert can be having the same license, see?
