They take you and make you
They look at you in disgusting ways
You should’ve never trusted Hollywood
   – System of a Down

I’ve been watching this.

Tech got inflitrated in such a way that you forgot that it was ever different, but watch that linked movie. It was different, and you don’t even really remember. A perfect capture by power.

I also read Manna this weekend. It poses a good question; will the machines work for us or will we work for the machines?

My brothers in Christ: you cannot even imagine what winning looks like.
   – Curtis Yarvin

With the way things are currently looking, despite it becoming as easy as taking candy from a baby, people will not give up their desire for power over other people. You do not win at this game

If technology is centralized, you will be a slave. The boot stomping on a human face. You will not be one of the 6 winners. There won’t even be 6 winners, the winners will continue to fight with you in the middle until there’s 1 winner. And that winner isn’t really a winner. If one person ends up with all the money, the money is worthless.

If you are in any way involved with this, please stop. If enough people stopped building centralized technology and started thinking intelligently about how to build usable decentralized stuff, things could flip. Your vacations aren’t worth it. Your house isn’t worth it. Eating fancy food isn’t worth it. This isn’t the far future, this is 20 years from now. Where do you work? What do you do there? If everyone acted like you, where is the world going?

Please stop. Think with a little bit of time horizon.
