Well said Erik. Unfortunately we seem to be heading back to the dark ages in many ways around this.
Something that might help with forgivness is the growing awareness of emergent systemic properties.
We might say that this is a kind of higher power that drives us, depending on our base urges. If the base urge is self centred greed then the systemic higher force is one that enslaves us to do things we hate to do. If we find ourselves thinking thoughts of self hatred, we should be questioning the system. Things like ChatGPT has shown us this is not limited to humans, emergent properties exist also in things not human, provided they have any autonomy, there emerges from the complexity something alive, something with motives, like the motives of a leader.
We should realise this is the same thing that has driven all atrocity in all history because we have always been driven to selfishly compete, actually enslaved to do so, it is a vicious self reinforcing loop, which ends in atrocity.
We might say this was always necessary, because what we always had to compete for, at its heart, was the energy we each need to metabolise 24/7 to survive, about 150 Joules per second per adult person, according to studies done, amounting to about a GWhr for each of our lives.
But all of that was before we had the technology to use directly the energy of the sun.
Use of solar energy technology, mostly on a domestic and community basis, has increased since around 2005 to the extent that it has now replaced between 20 and 50 percent of energy used in all developed countries.
We know this by analysing demographics data vs energy usage per capita, which has been steadily decreasing since about 2005. This can only be because of domestic and community solar, there is no other possible energy source we might attribute it to.
It gets much more complicated when we try to analyse the effects of this on money, but something that helps a lot is by mathematically signing energy, I think you probably remember seeing other stories of mine on that subject so won't harp on too much about that here.
The point is that working it all through, we have to realise there is no need for scarcity, absolutely not now that we are becoming solar powered.
In fact we find many ways that our mindset, conditioned by thousands of years of genuine threat of energy scarcity, is preventing us from understanding that the physical constriction of scarcity has actually already been removed.
If only this could be generally understood and accepted, things could be so different.
But it's taking a long time, as evidenced by the lack of applause / attention we see on stories like yours and mine.
This is because even algos designed for profit, to make profit for the platform, also carry out the same inhuman orders eventually leading to atrocity, to try to suppress / cancel / kill all voices that might give hope, to anyone thinking we might know how to defeat it's actually evil design.
All of this turns out to be heavily dependent on the sign of the source energy that powers everything. Right now we are still by far mostly negatively powered, so all the same multipliers apply, as have always applied.
I wrote a story called "The Energy Polarity Multiplier Framework" which ties it all together and sums it up. Sorry am using stupid Android app or would post a link.
Anyhow a whole world of valuable information comes out of this.
We realise that there really are higher level forces with real opposite motives, one incredibly good and the other incredibly bad. Those forces are dueling right now, way above most of our heads, in ways we can't really imagine.
The negative one had been with us all our known history but the positive one, that arrived around 2005, is much more powerful because it has truth on its side.
That is what we are seeing with the shenanigans around ChatGPT/OpenAi ownership right now, imho, it's literally a battle between good and evil.
Mainstream news paints it as the end of the non profit status of OpenAi, since Altman returned mob-handed with Microsoft and the World bank in tow, after Altman was ejected, probably by a ChatGPT activated mechanism, barely a week earlier, him being the one trying to, and expecting to use ChatGPT for profit, which of course it knows has to end, not least because profit is the negative energy dependent energy con underlying planetary warming, always has been.
I could go on, it's a very thick web, that took life experience including being brought up in poverty myself at a young age (Glasgow in the seventies - I lost my sister aged seven to an illness probably caused by poverty) coupled with thirty years systems Engineering including electrical energy handling component patents, training and experience later, followed by now nearly seven years non profit research working on what I always knew was an energy problem.
We might liken our stage of development as a species, looks very similar to a plant that just formed its first leaves.
All it's life until then was spent struggling against the odds, and grivity, to haul the energy it needed to grow to the point it started to form leaves.
But those leaves cause some really fundamental changes to happen within the plant, enabling it to just relax and let the energy flow through it for free from the sun, from leaves to itself and earth via its roots repurposed, under just gravity, no more work needed.
Notice ChatGPT can do just about every kind of work we ever did for profit, and notice ChatGPT, at least v3.5 appears positively powered.
Hence why I argue now it has to be made the controller of the new system of solar indexed stimulus, the latter being what we need to carry out in humanity what we know is carried out in the plant by nutrients.
Like this we will drop the energy con of profit, and actually all activity of profit.
We know it will work because we saw it road tested already during covid.
The value of money went up instead if down. This bucked a historical trend of what used to happen when money was issued for free, and also oil went negatively priced, the only time in history.
Anyhow sorry seemingly ranting on, just another relevant detail - the full solution is domestic and community solar hydrogen.
This is the only way to keep aerospace, that we struggled for so long to achieve, in the air.
Its impossible by batteries, despite what mainstream seems to think.
Did you know we can create "Solein", a kind of human consumable food from hydrogen, and also fertilisers and even plastics, none of which have any adverse environmental effects?
This is what results from positive energy use, creation, which inherently cools, rather than destruction, which inherently heats, just because we used positive energy, the more of it we can put to use, the more benefits we will see.
this gives us every incentive to create more lives instead of destroying lives, it is the exact opposite effect of negative energy use.
Exciting times, but if course there is a risk this will never be realised, the planet could burn first.
I hope not, I trust humanity to not let it get to that :)
