@bambi Stop inflamming these threads. You keep doing it.

I've said enough. You figure out the rest.

Google does lot of evil monopolistic stuff. What the founders do it irrelevant. It is a monster beyond their control. Musk is funding Trump. Fuck him and all this techno bullshit.

What a name.

Yes, that's the best way to go about it. Endless survival pressure.

They are getting more and more evil every year as they run out of ideas but the survival pressure remains endless.

The most important insight I had about that, is that when you run a public company you are effectively taking on the endless survival attachment. You're not just attached to the survival of all your employees, but all the stockholders. This effectively makes it impossible to ever break free from survival because you have infinite mouths to feed endlessly. In a small private company you can transcend survival by earning enough to feed a small number of mouths. But with a public company this is impossible because all your investors demand endless increasing growth. Which is equivalent to endless pressure to do evil. No amount of evil is ever enough in such a system. So the #1 thing you must do to avoid evil is not make your business publicly traded.

I don't see a systemic solution. Mankind is in still in the dark ages and will be for a long time. Individually you can try to minimize your involvement in it, but that won't scale to most people. Ultimately you gotta accept your pig-like nature.

The more I study, the more I realize how utterly corrupt mankind and all its systems are. Running a public company is completely antithetical to consciousness and morality. Anyone involved in that work is utterly delusional and corrupt. If you weren't they would fire you. There is no room for truth, consciousness, or morality at those levels of power. It's all about survival.

They will definitely do an endless occupation of Gaza and then settlers will start sneaking in there. It will be West Bank 2.0. These people are utterly shameless devils.

Life is a very difficult thing to accept. Especially once you start to understand the extent of human corruption. Which is why most humans remain ignorant of it or subscribe to some kind of ideology or conspiracy theory. You don't want to understand how corrupt the world is and your role in it.

I have no interest in turning my work into a mechanical meat-grinder. If that's what it becomes, I will just quit.

This AI stuff is getting out of hand. It's turning into a Tech Bro power grab of the millenium and people are going to stop thinking.

You can have whatever percentage of whoever in a nation without having to devote your nation to one priveleged ethnicity or religion. This kind of priveleging leads to racist policy and oppression of minorities. Obviously I don't expect Israel to appreciate this or change.

That is both irrelevant and false. There is no need for Israel to be an ethno-state. The only reason for it is that Jews are so self-adsorbed that they cannot help themselves.

You have no right to associate anything coming out of an AI with my name or my work. Nothing an AI says is what I say. Nor does it understand what I teach. This work is of utmost nuance. It is not a parroting of words and ideas.

Yes they are. The West is generally not engaged in ethnic cleansing these days. And the West is not creating ethno-states. Israel is violating many many international laws and doing serious war crimes and crimes against humanity. Your war is fundamentally racist.

You will be taken seriously if you do serious work, rather than chasing after being taken seriously. Focus on your work rather than the image of your work. If you work benefits from a degree, then that's the reason to get a degree.

Yes, of course. Israel was an ethnic cleansing project from day 1. And it still is today. Nothing has changed. Once this point is understood, everything makes sense. Begin was a terrorist. He organized terrorist attacks against the British to force them to pull out of Palestine, which succeeded. Begin lead the most successful terrorism campaign in history, which led to the formation of the Israeli state. People generally assume that terrorism doesn't work. And usually that's true. But Israel is history's greatest example of terrorism working, thanks to Begin and his friends. All of it this is a matter of historical record.

You should not undertake such serious things for such shallow reasons.

I don't like this development. The point of this work is to do serious contemplation, not to mindlessly parrot things I say. You guys are getting side-tracked into degeneracy. And you do not have permission to feed my work into AI.
