The Two Cardinal Physical Rules of Nature, That Should be Elevated to Statutory.

The first of these, Metcalfe’s law, should be used in any questions of whether or not to cancel a person, or a group of people.

The answer is never to cancel. The answer is to link up all networks into one giant free-for-all, all networks, all platforms, all countries. No-one left out.

The divisions in the network become divisions in humanity, if those were not there already. This is maybe necessary for profit, which is monetised destruction, but it’s anti creation overall, net destruction.

Loss of any source of data or information is harmful to the whole.

It’s needed, to know what is truth, and what is lies, what is bad and what is good, what is destruction and what is creation.

But the truth is moving on all the time, it has to, this is creation. New truth is being created all the time, if there is creation.

The problem overall appears to be that we don’t have creation. Yes there was creation of Technology, but it has been at the cost of all life on the planet, including ours, unless we take now the opportunity it is presenting to us, by the solar Ai (Another story).

The rising temperature is evidence of net destruction. The desertification of the planet is evidence of rising temperature.

If we try to cut out information some might say is lies, then we are deleting potentially useful information.

But worse, this is destruction by definition, and look, it has to result in increased planetary temperature.

The Numbers in the second Law, Landauer’s principle, make it look like this is insignificant.

Landauer’s principle is at the heart of thermodynamics, and defines creation. It reminds us what creation is all about, and how to identify it, or identify destruction. It’s even a universal lie detector in a kind of way.

It was proven by lab tests in 2010, so should probably be a law rather than a principle now, but best to stick with standard referenced terminology for now maybe.

The lab tests are detailed here:

Boltzman’s constant looks incredibly small, but nothing is insignificant when done by billions of people, for thousands of years.

Plug this into estimates of computations done by the computers of billions of people, and it is significant.

Profit, monetised destruction for thousands of years, is destruction of the planet by all definitions. It includes destruction of information.

We are actually destroying our own intelligence by this, making ourselves stupider, rather than more clever. We actually have no idea how much of this we have done, because look, we destroyed all information of it. How can anyone judge how much stupider they might have got, since younger days? We actually can’t know, its impossible to know.

If we want to stop doing it, and start creating, we might need to have a couple of rules.

I suggest it starts with Metcalfe’s law, and Landauer’s principle. Everything else can be built on those two, a new system of law, which defines our future behaviour, because the old rules are obviously out of date, no longer applicable.

The inhumanity and genocide we are seeing is the systemic outcome of us acting as swarming energy slave ants, acting under the perception filter, that science is at last starting to recognise, affecting us, all of us, as long as we are locked into energy slavery, using profit to extract all the energy we need from the planet, rather than monetising the energy from the sun, monetising creation.

We can only do one or the other, destroy, or create.

We can either be busying dying, or busy living.

Living is creation, dying is destruction.

The trouble is we’ve been busy dying a long time, and we never realised it until now, when finally we have technology demonstrating it to us, making fools of us until we see it.

It’s time to have just a couple of statutory rules that will enforce creation rather than destruction, surely.
