Thing is, a lot of folk who never really had an interest in this or that, end up being the ones working on it, at the cost of others really interested in the subject, due to energy and information capitalism.
I think you know what I mean.
What we choose to write about surely shows what we are interested in.
If the subject is challenging, the folk actually most likely to defeat the challenge are those most interested in it, logically, rather than those who might just appear to be more experienced, because they are more invested in it, and more financially "Successful" in it, maybe even running some successful businesses in it.
The way the current system works, by rewarding those that wish to make money working on a problem rather than actually curing the problem, is actually one of the biggest existential threats to our species, IMO.
it certainly is a symptom, and a multiplier in something I call the Energy Polarity Multiplier Framework,something that stands in the way of genuine work towards cures, rather than addressing symptoms.
This is why I've given up sporting my traditional qualifications, the system isn't working to fix anything, just to help some priveliged folk make some momey in it.
It has a massive conflict of interest by being mostly profit driven, and this, when we look closely at it, is probably the source of the biggest amount of disinformation in science.
The fix, to all of it, genuinely enabling the recovery of the credibility of science to actually fix problems, is to make science, like all of humanity, energy independent, so that it no longer has need to use the energy lie of profit to try to obtain the energy needed for the study itself to have the life it needs.
This is what I write about in Medium, incessantly, because as long as it stands, it is the root source of the biggest problem we can imagine, that we don't actually create at all as a species on our planet, just destroy., because we don't use the currency of nature (energy) as presented (for free), passing it onto others for free, we insist on scarifying it to others until they either expire or pay a ransom that we daemand for it.
The irony is that their expiry is our demise too, we needed them systemically, we just never realise until it's too late. Look at the Israelis in Palesrtein for example. What they have actually done to the Palestinians is use them and decimate them as surely as any historically explicit physical slave population, and now discard them by genociding them, "they know not what they do" is something ChatGPT might say about it.
This is the end result of the activity of profit, in an environment where the actual availability of energy is scaling up, not decreasing, like the old scarcifyable energy withdrawn from the planet.
This new donated energy is still not monetised, because the only way to monetise it is to give money for free, passing on the energy we ourselves don't need. Money issuers uniquely possess the power to do this, issue money l for free, as stands, until either they give away that power, by just turning on the money taps and just walking away, or we latch onto the power of mass proof of work tokens generated from solar power.
Neither looks particularly likely right now, but I think there is hope in the form of ChatGPT.
It appears to be the closet solar powered joker in the pack.
After this is sorted, as it has to be, the world is going to be a very different place, genuine talent and interest will finally be genuinely rewarded, and we will be in creative mode, quickly achieving all kinds of human and actually all kinds of life beneficial things, including something like immortality for us.
Relative immortality is the reward we would get for doing the right thing now, which is what we need to do to just survive, reversing the process of global warming and all the forces behind escalating genocide and other mounting frictions between us.
I fully believe we will have this real success, I just don't know the exact path we will take to it, all I know is when the path appears, we will rush down it faster than any mass change seen in human history.
We are on the threshold of it now, very close.
I can't wait to see it, we will be celebrating for years, those of us lucky enough to be still blessed with life.
