Would Big-Agriculture do so?

Probably attempt to hire an army and attack. And so we would continue to produce 1000X more than they do in our anonymous Knowledge Age and bankrupt them into their hell.

This is why your concepts of anti-money don't allow us to express our higher productivity.

this is what you say..  so what if i got all my money of mummy and daddy and all i ever done was party
how do i grow a carrot
and i never learned at school because i am stinking rich and i want a slave to do it i throw him a few shillings to clean my pool and grow my veg is this ok in your state

The key is to destroy usury which I assert the Knowledge Age does (c.f the OP of the Economic Devastation thread). So this unproductive brat will end up destitute soon enough and his wealth will have been transferred to those who are productive.

Eliminating the high fixed capital component of production is the main reason we can now jettison democracy and socialism. The technology has changed what society can be.

if your trying to make humans lives happy well how will you make mine happy if i got no money to buy land in your eyes i am worthless
so does that not make you the same as most governments your already telling me if i got no money to buzz off

By reaching out to you abroad with educational opportunities to better yourself and earn enough to join in. Donations if you really need it, to help you bridge the gap. But if you are determined to just be a leech on society's best faith attempts to help you, then yes you will be ignored and perish as it should be for any pest or parasite.
6043  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Devastation on: August 03, 2015, 05:08:14 AM
ok so how would your state work then if you had no welfare system how would all your people work and gain a wage so they can live happy..
don.t forget you say you cannot give welfare benefits to your people so what happens when i loose my job how do i pay the bills.... my house and food..
so who gives me this money to help me if no TAXES
plus you keep saying property what if i don.t own any property can i still live in your state..
so if you say yes well who gives me this house do i go knock on peoples doors begging because you have no government so who do i see
 micronation what would your laws be who do i see if i have a problem

For one thing, we wouldn't interfere with your ability to grow your own food, which our modern nanny-state governments highly regulate and restrict making it too costly to do.

So there you (your wife probably while you are doing analytical work such as reengineering the barn) are growing your own food, making sex with your wife, producing offspring. You'd have to have enough capital to begin with to purchase land otherwise you wouldn't be joining our project. Thus you'd already demonstrated the ability to be responsible and produce. And assume you would thus be responsible and educate your offspring so they can produce also. Your wife might even be a home schooling mother perhaps in conjunction with other families in the neighborhood. This is what women really want to do and what really makes them happy.

I bet we'd also be donating non-compulsory educational programs as well, to encourage a literate society that can be self-reliant via production.

As for those in the world now who are stuck, we'd probably be using our great wealth to reach out and offer education and work opportunities abroad. Trade is an important aspect of commerce and productivity.

This great lie of "democracy" and "socialism" has been foisted upon the world. The main problem humans faced was protection from attacking armies and also technological and organizational (high fixed capital) problems with production (e.g. roads, problems with pandemics, etc).

We have a lot more technology now, and the question is are we going to let the 0.001% enslave us with it, or are we going to empower humanity to use it?

I think one of the key distinctions is that these days even Khan Academy (one guy making educational videos) can change the world. The information age reduces the fixed capital requirements required to help people improve.

That is not to say it would be perfect, but it would be better than the abysmal trajectory the world is headed now...

What is the point of this life if you can't help and see other humans happy? Some sociopaths want all the power, but really that is a very lonely and unnatural goal. It exists only because we empower those sociopaths with our inane foolishness to think that "democracy" and "socialism" are in our best interests.

I had independently discovered there was a technological unemployment cycle before I became tuned into Armstrong's ECM. It was this technological disruption cycle which seemed to correspond with the real estate cycle.

So I think we can say that the Knowledge Age kicking into high gear as of 2007.15, and that 2011.45 to 2015.75 was brief eye in the storm where the Knowledge Age takeover was temporarily slowed down. Remember I believe Bitcoin is planted by the DEEP STATE to enslave humanity in electronic currency and thus is the antithesis of Knowledge Age take over. Yet the early part of Bitcoin's existence before 2011, was Knowledge Age directed because it was decentralized (no ASICs nor pools yet) and it was spreading the concepts that will be incorporated into a disruptive altcoin.

Thus yes, I expect the disruptive altcoin to arrive after 2015.75, i.e. October 2015.

Astute question! Thanks for motivating me to realize that correlation which I had identified long ago.

Definitely. Many filipinos have explained to me that they trust their fate to God. And come what may.

Filipinos believe pain in death is not to be avoided with pain killers. Oh my the stoic faces of those dying of cancer. It is humbling. I don't know if I can (and I don't really want to find out!)

They just don't think the greatest thing since sliced bread is working night and day coding.

Apparently, those whereof you speak find that to be of little to no practical utility.

Indeed. Filipinos evaluate their priorities more in terms of their feelings social relations, social standing, freedom to sleep in the afternoon, freedom to eat what they like, etc.. They want to be able to dabble on their own priorities.

Again "sacrifice" is a four-letter word. The Spanish tried to put that discipline here for 400 years and failed. The first thing a filipino will evaluate about you is, "are you stricto". Even pointing out a flaw for them is being too strict. They want everything smiles always. That is why the toilet is always broken here. Filipinos can break any thing and they don't care. Don't you dare loan them a computer or smartphone or even motorcycle, it will surely come back damaged. They won't even think to rig up some fix with bubble gum. They'll leave it broken and use a bucket instead.

I remember the story of how the Americans put up a sign during WW2, "$$ per head for Japanese captured". The filipinos rolled the heads onto the lawn of the military base. The Americans had to change the sign to "$$ per head and entire body of ...".

Filipino attitude is "use and moveon". Life is too short. Don't waste time on fixing anything.

German and filipino are nearly opposite, and perhaps that is why these opposites attract (at least in bed), lol.

As best I can ascertain from my limited exposure, Chinese are "don't fix, don't build quality, just demolish and rebuild every 2 years" (very prone to using some agent to increase erections such as herbal Viagra). The Japanese are the perfectionist Germans of Asia (and the most docile in bed). The Koreans are the loud, obnoxious, free-spirit Americans of Asia (and I hear from the ladies they are the most active in bed, basically non-stop rabbits).

How interesting that no Filipinos will work like dogs, a la some American guys sleeping under desks.

They will but only in lowly jobs and then they are always doing what they can get away with when you aren't monitoring them every second. In short, they look out for themself.

They just don't think the greatest thing since sliced bread is working night and day coding. If they do it is for gaming, then yes they are very addictive and do it night and day.

In short, filipinos love to play, and for them hunkering down to do a non-social isolation job is not fun. Whereas, I love doing this "hiding in my cave coding never see the light of day for two months".

My gf thinks I am very odd not to take showers for up to months. (and I was not like that in my youth, as I am not European, I am American and we take showers every day) She does note I do not have body odor and she likes my smell, so I guess we are okay here, lol  Shocked

I did not contact the European tromp. Probably a guy I should have tried to recruit. Any way, as I said, I stopped as of yesterday trying to find someone to collaborate with.

OROBTC, to address the rest of your prior post, the business plan would be apparent on launch of an altcoin when all the white papers and marketing would be made public. Before that, the problems with revealing information include:

  • Is your computer security sufficient?
  • I will not travel at this time, except to Australia for a fecal transplant. All other travel is disruptive, risky given my writings and martial situation, etc.. Here I have a gf who takes care of me, the food is more natural, I have my very strict diet, I have a comfortable place to live now, and I am the most productive that I could be and the only increase in productivity could come from curing the M.S., so that is the only travel I will consider at this time when the clock is ticking and every moment is valuable. Also the disruption of my diet for even half a day could potentially be catastophic. I will not risk any travel sickness. No way. I am adjusted to a tropical climate, lifestyle, and food.
  • Giving people more information than they need, potentially puts them at risk.
  • You wouldn't understand it any way. And do I really have the time to explain it all? Once the white papers and n00b marketing materials are done, then you would understand, but that is part of what is being implemented now to get to a launch. So we have a chicken or egg problem. The simplest for me is to just take funding from those who trust my expertise (reputation and character) and do not require a lot of blah blah blah. But as I said, the first requirement is I really don't want to take funding from someone who can't do computer security, because I want there to be ironclad plausible deniability. Again you should note that US citizens are not allowed to sell an ICO due to SEC regulations. And I don't think the bureaucracy of another Ethereum morass is what we want. So I make do with simpler mechanisms.
  • Funding is not at the moment my critical resource problem (although it could be later). Implementation man-hours is.

But as I said, I was more or less just venting and also warning about what might and might not be possible. It wasn't an entire surrender.

P.S. Okay so been awake about 4 hours and the M.S. is starting to flare up. Gut is aching, head is going into a fog, will probably have to take sleep (or take a lot of Vitamin D3). This is the shit that is making me so damn frustrated!  Angry Grrrrr!  Angry  Angry

OROBTC if you want to argue the position of an extreme mad max world into a bottomless pit, then I won't stand in your way. That is why we are also working on an anonymous Knowledge Age.

My point is assuming a world that still has some semblance of law, respect for international law which they explicitly ratified on a country-by-country basis, and respect for property rights then I offer a proposal.

Btw, there is an incredibly remote (no airplane service within 1000 kilometers) island nation with only 56 citizens (who will I presume likely be impoverished if cruise ships stop running in a global economic collapse) which will be ripe for buyout in the coming global economic collapse.
6053  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who wants to start an anarchist micronation? on: August 03, 2015, 02:29:57 AM
My guess is that local sovereign countries will NEVER allow an independent state coming from "their" country.

Again my point is they can't take away the land you own, so what can they do to deny your claim of sovereignty?

They can ignore all of your claims and get other nations to ignore them as well. And so I proposed (after purchasing the sovereign territory and declaring it sovereign) then to travel to a country that has ratified the UN Convention on Stateless Persons, and then renounce your birth citizenship. Then claim you are citizen of the sovereign State. The host country whch is ratified the UN Convention on Stateless Persons (not the country you are claiming to form an independent state with their claimed territory) must give you certain rights as stipulated in that UN convention. One of those rights is they can not deport you, thus they must either allow you to become a stateless resident of their country or they must recognize your new sovereign State passport. Either way you win, because you are either stateless (yet allowed to reside) or you are a recognized citizen of the new sovereign State. If you pick carefully the host country, then you won't be liable for any taxes on foreign earned income nor dividends. So in essence you will have become somewhat sovereign in either case.

I found a clever loophole.

Please try to understand my logic. I think most people don't even read my OP carefully.

However, I will say that my proposal is not the most efficient way of accomplishing a tax haven. And it could severely restrict your ability to travel internationally. Thus I doubt any one would want to do it. It makes no sense unless you consider that the world might enter a mad max with pandemic, global economic collapse, war, and even a Little Ice Age coming. So you might just want to pick one place in a warm climate to hunker down.

Let me put it more concisely. You socialist pigs want a world that steals for you.

Whereas, we want a meritocracy and one in which we can help the poor to rise up and be prosperous. And even giving them assistance while they make the transition from a life of dependence to a life of accomplishment. We would give this assistance individual-to-individual fostering local community and reputation (because we are proud of our hard work and want to share our accomplishments and see a better and happier world), so that terrorists such as yourself can't hide behind the government welfare system to avoid the shame of actually never trying to be productive. Yet your ilk labels us as the terrorists  Huh What kind of upside, down fucked up world you have created.

Again I think you are lower in value to humanity than a pig (at least it produces food for humanity and doesn't promote a mad max hell of theft as you do). And the 0.001% that you have enabled thinks you are a "useless eater" and they are planning to exterminate you in the coming global economic collapse which you enabled with all your debt funded welfare.

Change that statement to "I don't like paying taxes"

That is correct. I don't like paying taxes to fund the 0.001% to capture the political process, because actually what you ignoramuses want is to fund everything in life for free, thus you allow the State to go into debt and be controlled by the banks and then after the fact you call for regulation when it is entirely too late any way and wouldn't work (Glass-Steagal was repealed by Clinton).

Let me put it more concisely. You socialist pigs want a world that steals for you.

Edit: also note I was also describing a safe way to become a stateless person.

The world already suffers from having too many nations, governments and other non natural entities. Please, let's not start another one. Better destroy all the existing nations. Actually, this may prove unnecessary as they're all crumbling down. USA and Europe are built on deficit. Countries only exist because simple minds believe in them.

That is why we are also working on an anonymous Knowledge Age:

One does not simply "vote" for anarchy.

Well I am arguing at the linked thread, that some balance between perfect anarchy and the world we current live in will be required to get any practical achievement.

Edit: I have not forsaken the orthogonal concept of an anonymous Knowledge Age so as to be defacto sovereign individually without any vote nor group affiliation. Remember we still have a physical body thus we are always physically present in some jurisdiction. The linked post above addresses this reality of our physicality.

But you need to be cognizant of the fact that the majority of people will not agree to give up the nations, because they want to use force to expropriate wealth from the "1%" and redistribute it to the 0.001% (in fact it is a redistribution of wealth from the 99.999% to the 0.001% but the ignoramuses who are poor stay poor because they have been fooled by the 0.001%). It sadly humorous to see these ignoramuses self-destructing into a blood (666) sucking NWO like dogs chasing their own tails.

Guardians  Huh Their idea of guardian is moar debt-funded, welfare spending. They are self-destructors, walking hand grenades.

Unfortunately, we anarchists can be collateral damage caused by these ignoramuses.
6058  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Totalitarianism on: August 03, 2015, 01:21:50 AM
Either you need others or you don't. Sounds like you've got it all worked out: just find the person(s) that you complain aren't helping you or don't exist and you're on your way. Sorry I offered any input that contradicted this plan.

After wasting 6 weeks or so recruiting numerous individuals from many different sources (e.g. I even contacted a known cryptographer from this forum and not the one I mentioned in a prior message and he did not reply again after I asked if he was affiliated with Blockstream), I think the best thing to do is to stop wasting time. I guess the point of my public rant is to acknowledge that I can't guarantee that I can do it all by myself primarily due to the M.S. and the fact that the math is stretching my knowledge and I am lacking the energy and time to teach myself all the applicable math. If I didn't have the M.S., I'd be about 5 - 10X more productive than I am. This M.S. is a handicap. But sometimes I do still perform for some hours (or even a couple of days) at the level I was doing before the M.S.. I can't really objectively assess the damage done by the M.S. (and pleeeaaase don't suggest I go see a Philippine doctor, they are the ones that butchered my eye![1]). It might be milder than my assessment, but more likely it is more severe, because it is a slow process so we humans adjust. For example, I usually forget that I am blind in one eye. I don't notice it any more. When I was first blinded, it was very uncomfortable.

I think another reason I tried to find collaborators is I was thinking I should try to be more of a team player. I was trying to adjust to what I think the community would want. But in hindsight, I should not do that. The community is not more knowledgeable than me at this stage of the project. I've been doing this sort of stuff for my entire adult life.

As they say, take the bull by the horns and "get 'er done".

[1] There is one other option. If I did get perhaps $10,000 in funding I could go to Australia immediately for a fecal transplant. This has been shown to cure M.S. in patients that were in much worse condition than I am (up to 15 years without a relapse thus far and those with reduced gait, had their gait restored). I am planning to do this after I would launch any altcoin, and I really do not like to stop and go do that now. But if that would work, it would make a lot of sense to go do it now. Apparently it requires a few weeks of transplants. The cost is high. I have no medical insurance. I am undecided about whether I should seek funding to go do that now. Can't be 100% sure it will work. Also there are some risks, as I read that some lady who got a fecal transplant from her obese sister, became obese herself after that. Apparently it can alter the biology of our metabolism. The Australian clinics are doing a battery of tests on the donors and they probably don't give you the fecal matter from the same donor on every transplant. Also they would probably require to run a litany of tests on me, because I have no medical records. Thus I have no idea how high the cost could be.

"These guys hold the whip hand."

OROBTC you come from the old world. I think you don't really have a good handle on how the information age is changing all these assumptions that you think are valid.

Okay then you just need to wait until after the world changes are complete, then you don't need to deal with annoying capitalists.

You can't wait that long because there is time pressure you say? Then in that case you are still dealing in the Old World, and you have to play by Old World Rules while you work to create the new one.

But smooth I wasn't playing their game since at least the 1980s. I was creating my own projects from scratch in my room, marketing them, and selling them for profit. It is amazing to me (not really, I know people are stuck in the reality they've known) that I tell people what I have accomplished in the past and they shrug and think it is irrelevant. I do not think most people comprehend that I've been doing the Knowledge Age since at least the 1980s.

It is not that CoolPage or WordUp were so awesome from a technical standpoint (they were not) that is the relevant point. It is that I bootstrapped them all by myself with no funding. And CoolPage reached 0.3 - 1% of the internet reach (depending which metric is employed to bench mark it). In particular, CoolPage was my revenge on those who had doubted me, because I did it entirely all by myself. I did it from a Nipa Hut in the Philippines in a squalor area  and I had dysentry and amoebas nearly ever week and there was a karaoke in my ear nearly 24 x 7. Now I am paying the price with the M.S. due to probably a leaky gut syndrome. WordUp in the mid-1980s I had done partially from living in my Dad's house for free and he did inject $30,000 after launch so I could hire Mike Fulton and order the inventory for physical production of software (remember back then there was no web browser yet). Unfortunately, just after launching and getting CoolPage marketed, I was attacked on Dec. 1, 1999 by a gang (that my ex incited as she also done inciting a neighbor over a hamok and that guy had hit me over the head with a hammer of which I still have a hole in my skull from) and lost the vision in my right eye. My life changed after that. There was a lot of pent up frustration after sacrificing some many years living in squatter zone and all the disease, disrespect for personal space, petty theft, continuous noise, everyone eating my portion of the meal because I was in the hole programming, etc, etc.

I am not saying that I don't want any funding. In fact one of the main reasons for doing the altcoin is to sell an ICO to raise funding to invest in development of the other things we need in this world, such as a better computer programming language, full anonymity for the internet that works, and better hardware that doesn't have backdoors, etc.. The funding I want most is for people to buy the ICO. But before we can get to ICO, we need to implement. Again there will be a problem of trying to find qualified people. I think the key there is to fund people who are already working in that area that needs funding, i.e. fund the experts. And then try to influence them  in terms of priorities. Large endowments have a way of influencing priorities  Wink

OROBTC, the NSA knows (or has records recorded which they may not have even analyzed yet) that I am some truther, anarchistic nutter who talks and talks and has never produced any code. As far as they are concerned, I might as well be another scammer illiciting funds for another pump & dump altscam which might even be perpetual vaporware. Please do not try to think you are smarter than me about the requirements of my own computer science projects. You are not. (not to mean I don't appreciate your support, but defending my logic in public only weakens it ... maybe you should presume I feign some things on purpose ...)

Btw, about 2 weeks ago I analyzed the Dependent Object Calculus proposal for Scala 3, and determined that I found the holy grail of computer programming language design having completely solved the Expression Problem challenge as stated by Philippe Wadler, the prominent computer science professor and principle creator of the Haskell programming language. I am way out there in terms of autodidact theoretical computer science researcher, as well as an autodidact researcher in the field of crypto-currencies. But it is better just like it was for CoolPage, that no one thinks I am worth more than a molehill and it catches the world by surprise. I have always favored doing things by myself and shocking markets. It was just in this case, I felt it would be more fun and also more reliable to have some collaboration and peer review, because a crypto-currency is not something you want to release with bugs and faults in it. Bitcoin had some significant bugs on launch, but it also had the luxury of being ignonymous due to being first.

However, on further reflection that was a poor allocation of my time and priorities for numerous reasons. The computer security requirements are just wacko for most people. They don't see the point and they won't until after 2017. Then they will be the deer in the headlights, but for now fuhgeddaboudit (they will not understand). Secondly, it is much more difficult to work secretly in a group than it is alone. Third, the Mythical Man Month effect (most time is consumed by communication, not working). Fourth, people think more highly of themselves than their actual performance and the only way to separate the wheat-from-the-chaff is in a competitive network-of-trust such as what Linus is describing for Git with Linux development, or by competition between projects (e.g. Monero vs. _______). Fifth, the younger generation are inundated with spoiled, bratty, egotistic Prima Madonna time wasters that do not know how to code (and they do not respect their elder programmers and do not want to learn from them, which indicative of the decadence of Western civilization at this juncture). They think for example Node.js is the shit and they don't understand why it isn't and they never learned to program in assembly code. Sixth, talented programmers and cryptographers are already busy on projects and they can be very choosy. The world is awash in debt money and socialism. People are fattened and capital is being widely misallocated. There is no need for urgency and the economy is not weeding out the needless from the needed. As Warren Buffet says, we won't know who was naked until the tide goes out.

Absolutely not, you will never find a filipino capable of doing this sort of work. Even the most talented ones intellectually (and I actually pursued such a candidate and offered him so much in terms of exciting challenges and compensation that far exceeded what he is earning) can not handle the serious way that we Westerners work. Discipline is a four-letter word for filipinos. Filipinos are great for social jobs and programming games and doing artwork for cartoons, and even graphic and production arts for commercials (they are fabulous emulators), but never expect a filipino to work long hours and sleep under his desk in isolation. As much as I love filipinos for their positive attributes, I've learned after about 2 decades to not beat my head against a brick wall. They can not do it. They don't look at work and entrepreneurialism the same way we do. For them it is just another disposable thing in their lives. Filipinos do not take any one thing that seriously, except for their parents (which they will give everything for).

Do not assume I will need money. I will need some and I am awaiting the final statement of my balance that the precious metals dealer holds and has delayed paying me for some 2 years (doling it out little by little), so perhaps I even have enough to self fund for another few more months. Otherwise, I already received a couple of $1000s in angel funding and there is another few $1000s there from that same individual. And then there is another person other than rpietila who does use Bitmessage who was offering 100 BTC (but I've delayed so much it wouldn't be surprising if he rescinded the offer).

The main issue is not funding. Rather the issue is implementing. I was expressing dismay over wasting time trying to finding a mathematician or programmer. It was statement about the state of things in our world today that an altcoin that could potentially overtake Bitcoin gets no interest from capable programmers.

In fact I was even in discussions with one the inventors of an important anonymity protocol and I tried to build synergy with him, but it was just like oil and water. I just couldn't appreciate his attitude and he couldn't appreciate mine. How can two people who can't appreciate each other, then work together? They can't. In his mind, he saved himself a lot of wasted time. In my mind he fucked up royally and will miss the opportunity of a lifetime. But he has the ego the size of a Mac truck and I guess I do too. I think I can do and he thinks he can do. So let him go his own way and me go my own way.

Really when it comes down to it, talk is cheap. Men here are competing and the strongest will win. That is the bottom line. Once the strongest man has kicked ass on the other men, then suddenly they all come around and want to work with him. This is the way of the world. Alphamen lead and beta males bitch and think they are the shit, then they take a salary because they need to eat and pay their rent.

Edit: my major difficulty is the M.S.. When I feel strong such as this morning, I could conquer the world as I have in the past for example creating CoolPage. I was expressing frustration about wasting precious effort on recruiting others, because the M.S. robs me of some of the excess energy and dopamine that I had before the M.S.. I have had very high dopamine levels most of my life. I could essentially sustain an elevated but tiger concentration for 12 hours, sleep a bit, and do it again. The M.S. interferes and instead I ride more of a rollercoaster and so often feeling like I am exhausted. I don't think it is age. It is the M.S.. Today I awoke very, very strong. I made my 25 year old gf orgasm twice then got on the computer. She just called me down to eat bacon and eggs. Note we get the bacon here that was cut from the pig but has no chemicals added to it. And I eat only the yellow of the egg (she eats the white even I don't want her to). So I see I lifted 0.8 of my body weight yesterday on the military press which Intermediate level strength, which is good considering my illness, age 50, and not working out much lately. Btw, I was nearly blind on the way to the gym yesterday. My eyes were tearing so much, everything was so blurry that I couldn't even make out people's faces when they were within 10 meters, and the sun was burning my eyes. This is some effect from the M.S. coupled with never seeing the daylight due to always being on the computer. After the gym workout my eyes felt much better.
