If the courts want to enforce the law, they can deputize citizens to carry out justice.

The man can literally afford to have a legal harem island, fund an entertainment company to create anything to amuse him, AND solve world hunger simultaneously…and he just fawns over Hitler.

His wealth is truly wasted.

Opposition to Antifa is basically this:

Personally, I think it isn’t just class conflict that is at issue. IMO, a major problem with current economies and their understanding, is that they are built from inherited knowledge, wealth, and institutions.

They aren’t deliberate systems, they are more like evolution: No planning, just inherited features from whatever came before. So long as those features don’t prevent the animal from having offspring, evolution doesn’t care. This can result in wonderful, confused, or niche creatures that are on their way to extinction. So the same goes for our economics.

To escape this state of affairs, we need to make deliberately constructed economies. I not saying a ‘planned economy’ like the Soviets or Chinese 5-year plans, but rather how each aspect of an economy interacts with other pieces. Like a tabletop RPG ruleset, where the specifics exist to facilitate the complexities that can arise. By specifying each element, we can create floors and ceilings for what any given action can do, which in turn makes it harder for the players to meta-game their way to dictating how everything goes.

To sum up: economic regulations, but as a clean sheet design and implementation.

Any time I put forward concepts of a hybrid between socialism, capitalism, UBI, and all of that, there is a lot of push back. While it is possible that it is because my ideas suck, I get the feeling it is more because it doesn’t fit into the worldview of existing systems.

Say, for example, the idea of giving everybody free mattresses. Someone says that is unrealistic, because people would try to sell the beds they receive. Or that fixed income from UBI and jobs would promote corruption…despite it all about preventing the existence of billionaires and huge wealth gaps. They say it would make people lazy, because there is no reward for working harder. Also, for some reason, eliminating wealth gaps, workers voting on leadership pay rank, and making education a paid job promotes a caste system. And so on.

Mind, there has been helpful input, it is just that many of the criticisms seem to be based on not fitting into what we had.

Provided you don’t need to upgrade for the next year or two, I think you will eventually have a ton of cheap and quality DDR5 memory to buy. I am looking forward to that, I want to build an endgame Threadripper Pro, and be set for a decade.

Speaking as someone with 128gb DDR4 3600 RAM and uses mid-size AI like GLM Air, it is too slow to have much fun with. I suspect that a lot of hobbyists will adopt and discard DDR4 in short order, so you can probably get a good deal if you buy used.

AI is an technology, and like any technology, it improves. The AI we had two years ago was something akin to the Orville flier, the ones we have now are equivalent of a biplane. Those examples of technology weren’t very useful, but the planes that followed were far more capable and economical.

Your assertions that AI is useless, is merely burying your head in the sand and hoping things will go alright. The outright refusal of AI by people like you, only ensures the most evil people can use it. This is like only allowing Nazis to own guns, peasants not being allowed to own land, or newspapers to only be owned by the wealthiest.

It is power that you are giving up, and power doesn’t care about who has it.

I view AI to be like the printing press: It is good for the everyman…if that everyman was willing to own and make use of it. By ceding AI to oligarchs, society would be allowing the 1% to have more tools to do stuff, while denying the public from making effective use of them.

The answer isn’t to reject AI, but to fund publicly developed and owned AI. Every minority who has 95% of Disney’s legal acumen in their pocket, will be able to more effectively resist Kavenaugh Stops in court. An AI can scour the web and spot discounted goods that a person actually wants, and create a shopping list that is cheap and convenient. People can have a competent teacher, if their rural household lacks a school. All these things lend a little extra agency to ordinary people.

My point, is that we shouldn’t refuse tools. Instead, we should adopt them on OUR terms, not the techbro’s.

It is part of why I want the Blue States to break off from the Confederates and build a fresh government. If you are going to replace what was broken, it should be only for people who appreciates what was lost. The MAGA are just going to bring out the chainsaw again…

Preferably, in a Amazon box. Pine is too good for this bastard.

I think that in the long run, the RAM shortage will turn into a glut of much faster and larger DDR5 RAM sticks. Provided if you can wait for the transition to AM6, an AM5 endgame system will have pretty good RAM.

I would like BOTH parties to go extinct. The Democratic leadership has no spine and waffles at best, the Republicans are evil by default.

Now, I am not a very eco-friendly kind of person…but I don’t trust the Trump Regime to not fuck up. Their approvals here will almost certainly kill people, and probably wouldn’t even benefit capitalists in the long run.

4: Someone who doesn’t like Trump releases the uncensored files, in retribution for something. If your future is ended by Trump, might as well have him hanging from the same scaffold.

I assume that historians would assign the title to whoever isn’t trying to fuck over humanity.

One more recruit for the Union, should a 2nd American Civil War become a thing.
