The experience was shocking as hell for me, when I did it.

It absolutely can work, so long as it isn’t allowed to run the show: harnessed, constrained, controlled capitalism, with no concentration-of-wealth-archy machiavellianism, can work.

But to do that, then you have to make the pay-ladder be proportionate to difficulty-to-replace, & not a means of “legal” embezzling, you have to make accounting unbreakable ( blockchain, ALL entries getting into an Algorand-type blockchain that all businesses in the economy & the gov’t all have servers participating in ), you have to make Human Capital Investment ( NOT consumable-human-resources: wrong model/paradigm! ) work properly, etc, etc, etc.

A Japanese keiretsu is an example of a semi-autonomous-economy which proves that capitalism can work ( capitalism works within the keiretsu ), & Toyota is a vertical-keiretsu ( profit-efficient ) & Panasonic, Sony, etc, are horizontal-keiretsu ( marketsaturation efficient ).

Another problem is that market-speculators, like those “candlesticks market-timing” people, enforce market-volatility, as a means of harvesting money from others, & that is an antipattern.

Worker-owned-business is the bedrock of it, too…

which unions & political-ideologues hate…

Put ownership, accountability, responsibility, & authority, all unitary!

Anyways, there are ways of making it work, but I think it’s just too … “Japanese” ( in terms of how thorough the management-paradigm has to be, to even understand the system ) … for any Western-mind to think of it properly.

No matter: soon a not-for-profit will begin demonstrating how this all works, later this year, I think…

When I was young, used to believe that social-pressure could make everybody behave/conform.

Understanding the existence & approximate-nature of psychopathy, now, & KNOW that that’s suicidal naive-delusion.

Hard-walls are required for many, & permanent-segregation is REQUIRED for some individuals.

I wish serial-rapists & serial-molesters were segregated as systematically as serial-killers ( where the lives killed were “in their way” ) & serial-murderers ( where the murder is the point ).

Their prey deserve to NOT be their prey, & social-making-believing/pressure isn’t good-enough.

NO amount of social-pressure’s going to make people conform, if they just aren’t wired that way.

( the left consistently assumes that social-pressure cannot be disobeyed, & that is about to cost the US everything, as total-dictatorship’s going to be activated shortly.

It’s currently at the point where the Democrats are utterly-powerless to impeach Trump, because the hour they table the beginning of that process, Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, & then it’s done, & probably, the Dem electorate are executed. )

Reincarnation can be significant.

Oh, & genetic-testing is notoriously inaccurate, unless one is paying-for 1000x oversampling…

100x oversampling is the bare-minimum I’d consider useful.

The reincarnation thing: my “home” is what my soul/continuum remembers as “home” from some life as a buddhist Himalayan monk, many centuries ago.

To say that I don’t fit this modern world well is understatement.

Wrong values, wrong instincts, wrong frame-of-reference, wrong reactions, wrong everything.

Once I undertood it, then … life made MUCH more sense.

My unconscious has been trying to make my world fit its memory of my ( previous-incarnation’s ) world, & that’s impossible.

Once that became understood, then adapting & outgrowing-the-problem could begin.

Authenticity is AI’s “kryptonite”.

AI is THE best brainstorming-help ever invented on Earth, period.

But the majority of users are instead using it to substitute for authenticity, so they can … I gather there was a movie about that? “fast forward” through their lives ( or was it that “Stainless Mind” movie? … don’t care, personally: don’t do movies! )

So, there’s a kind of division/segregating going-on, where the ones who prefer inauthenticity & convenience are polarizing ( like your friend ) to AI, whereas others are working at limiting it, & harnessing it, using it for us, instead of using it in place of us, if you see.

Does anybody believe that AI would have produced that magical image of the olympic skating woman jumping so totally happily, on the podium?

Authenticity isn’t as fakeable as appearances are, see?

"5. A defensible reading of the evidence to date

The most credible baseline supported by named, documentable evidence is in the low thousands: multiple NGOs and vetting efforts have confirmed roughly 6,000–7,000 deaths with many more cases under review — a conservative, replicable floor [6] [1]. Simultaneously, independent hospital tallies and leaked internal documents provide a plausible but less verifiable counterfactual that the toll could be an order of magnitude larger — 20,000–36,500 — especially for the intense 8–9 January period; these higher figures cannot yet be treated as equally verified because they depend on sources and methods that remain partially opaque [3] [5] [4]. Rigorous accounting will require wider access to hospital records, unimpeded forensic work, and independent international investigation; until those are possible, the accepted range will remain a contested field between a documented multi‑thousand minimum and plausible claims of tens of thousands [2] [11]."

Critical Thinking.

Archy is the hierarchy that civilization uses as its skeleton & nervous-system.

Hierarchy was the original, & the Hierarch was the original top-person.

Got a brain in your body??

THAT is archy.

The people who pretend that no-archy is the ideal, ignore the blunt fact that within their own bodies, they eradicate anarchy, allowing ONLY archy to operate, because it is orders-of-magnitude more effective & viable & healthy.

& they pretend that anarchy ought rule the world.

Parent-child relationship: ought that be archy, or no-archy?? Toddler wants to take the car for a spin, & parent-boss won’t allow that?? Archy.

Ought aviation be unregulated, in anarchy, or regulated, in archy?

How about licensed surgeons? No-archy/no-regulation, XOR archy/regulations?

How about manufacturing? No-regs/no-archy? or regs/archy?

The ideological won’t-know/intentional-ignorance in both right & left is stunning.

And some of us are sick of all of it.

Yoga, not communist-party-imperialism, not no-archy-fuzzbrainedness-which-ignores-how-even-our-bodies-work, & not personal-imperialism/fascism, but yoga, the harnessing & binding in efficient & effective coherent-directional-harmony, is the right way.

I really, really, hope that you can understand that for some percentage of the population, morality isn’t a guardrail, & that has been visible for millenia.

The person you’re replying-to isn’t the only person in the world, & evidence is that without coercive-force & enforcement & enforced-accountability, then DarkTriad IS GOING TO rule the world, no matter what, & making-believing isn’t going to prevent that.

It isn’t “mere coincidence” that NOT fighting organized-crime ends-up with them running the territory, and it being impossible to root them out.

Ask northern Mexico how it went for them with their insufficient-enforcement paradigm, & then they lost control of the territory, & can’t get it back.

IF you have an immune-system, THEN you systematically assault & kill pathogens, within your own body.

THAT is the fundamental-fact of viability in natural, competitive ecologies, inhabited by pathogens, parasites, cancers, & their equivalents.

All the people who live in goddamn making-believing that “utopia is the natural default: all we have to do is remove all structure, & it will spontaneously arise, blessing all of our lives” are fucking incompetent at knowing actual-human-nature & actual-human-history.

Go without an immune-system, with AIDS, & no medication, & see how long it takes for pathogens to destroy your life.

Will you live multiple months? Your avg remaining lifespan should be somewhere between 1/30th & 1/100th of the average human lifespan, right? Something like that.

If, after they’ve done that, THEN they’d have validity to stand-on, about no civil-immune-system being required, except that they’d be gone, just as their making-believing wants us gone/nonviable.

“Snakes in Suits” had a perfect vignette in it:

a psychopath who’d been let out on a daypass butchered-up somebody.

they couldn’t understand why that was a problem, because it had been ages since they’d done it last-time!!

Utopian morons who pretend that diversity never could extend to THAT kind of diversity, get other-people slaughtered.

And that isn’t tolerable.

IF somebody wants to live in lala-land, THEN it is THER lives which ought be available for the monsters to butcher, NOT random innocent others.

Won’t-grow-up should automatically get one removed from authority, including voting-authority.

This race, humankind, isn’t viable, unless it grows-the-fuck-up, quickly.

& if it won’t, then the universe is going to be scoured-of-it by next century.

All because ignorance is “more comfy” than growing TF up, … & in the deathmatch between the 2, humankind sides with ignorance, obliterating upright-objective-integrity.

Bring it on: universe’s LAW is Natural Selection, & we pretend we know reality, but our behavior contradicts what we say, consistently.

Universe is the only judge of whether any of us exist next century, NOT our making-believing.

Sorry to be absolutely fed-up with won’t-think, no matter how fashionable & politically-acceptable it is, but humankind’s on the traintracks, and the rumbling of the oncoming-train is thrumming the rails, now.

Aannndddd… people “wonder why” nothing changes, when THEIR pack/herd/tribe gains power, or when another’s does: it just goes 'round & 'round & 'round, again.

Until one has fundamentally altered one’s own unconscious-mind,

altering one’s own nature,

then the same nature as what created the problems we’re caught-in, is all one has to wield.

“physician, 1st heal thyself” is the key, but nobody’s got the guts to enforce the deep transformation.

( & I’m saying that while having failed to break unconscious-ignorance from this-incarnation/life, thus-far, myself, for decades.

It isn’t easy, but if one never tries, it’ll never have more than 0% chance of happening.

Relentlessnes: I may not have the IQ-eyness I had before my 3rd wave of braindamage, but by being relentless, I keep improving, however sluggishly, while the entitlement-coasting people don’t.

Excellence-of-studies: don’t waste time studying mediochre means: study the best-of-the-best, from Simon Sinek, to Kegan & Lahey, to the best books in whatever your domain is.

It’s 99% perspiration, & only 1% inspiration, except for a very few.

( there are 2 categories of “genius”:

• the ones who … no matter how they explain what they’re doing, … whatever they’re doing isn’t in your reality, vs
• the ones who do what you do, MUCH quicker, with more tricks & optimizations than you have

Relentlessly earning greater competence improves your standing against the quicker ones, through the years,

but it does nothing in relation to the “wizards” who just are using some dimension that you don’t have, to get where they do.

In Gleick’s book “Genius” about Richard Feynman, there was a situation where a normal physicist worked for 1/2y, aka 365/2 days, roughly, to earn a theory … & he presented it.

Feynman wasn’t at that lecture … & only heard about it, but that night, he blasted through the calculus until he got it, then … the next morning, he hunted-down & accosted the physicist who’d given that lecture, & presented him with his rendition of the work, saying “is that what you got?” … horrified, the guy discovered that Feynman had taken the theory farther in 1/2-day than he had in 365/2 days … you can’t compete with wizards.

Mlodinow also encountered this, as is in his book about being mentored by Feynman: he & his work-partner earned, in months of work, some … quantum-optics meaning, iirc.

He got Feynman to consider it, for 1/2h.

In that 1/2h, Feynman got enough understanding that he told them: “publish. you’re not making any mistakes, & the established contradicting-your-work theory therefore is likely wrong”…

How he got THAT far, in that-little time, … normals can’t compete against that.

So, simply don’t bother!!

Compete against the normal ones!

Leave the “supernatural” skill stuff to the people who’ve got the synaesthesia, or whatever, to do it, to them.

They’re rare, & not the ones who do most of the work, in any domain, right?

All the people working on important stuff, who are grinding-through obstacles, that’s important!

The best framing I ever encountered was this:

Airbus’s working on a new powerplant-system.

2,000 engineers assigned to that work!!

Can you imagine anything being so hellishly-complicated that it takes THAT much engineering-force to get it to reliably, & certifiably, work??

THEY’RE ALL CONTRIBUTING!!

See?

The woman who solves how to make the turbulences in the 1st-layer of turbine-blades NOT erode the 1st-layer of stator-vanes, if that’s all she accomplishes, it was important!

I once spoke with a woman who managed engineers who built an instrument that ended-up on a Viking lander, on Mars, last-century…

The engineers were prone to heading out to the bar, after tough days, to relax, with the work-gang…

… & then they’d get talking about the problem, again, & when they’d found a new angle to be working on it, again, then they’d head back to work, instead of going home to their families!

There, too, is another “competitive-advantage”, but one with high human-cost: being autistic.

You don’t need to be either a “wizard” or autistic, to compete: you only need to make your-part of the work important enough for it to make good-enough difference, see? )

Don’t bother being what you aren’t, & recognize that sociopathy has gained ownership of much of the workplace, so “it ISN’T you” that is the problem, in many cases.

Trust that good work counts, trust that airliners exist, & trust that THE advantage that the Wright Brothers had, was simply in being systematic, methodically eradicating bugs, until they got the photographs of controlled-turning that they needed to prove their system worked.

In STEM, be systematic.

Be methodical.

Eradicate bugs.

https://www.amazon.com/Debugging-Indispensable-Software-Hardware-Problems-ebook/dp/B00PDDKQV2/ is a book which can give you the principles of being more effective in getting results in STEM.

Farage’s Britain is similar-enough to Trump’s America that it’s “golden”, but it’s still less-collapsed than the US, so it’s preferable, right??

England’s monarchism, its class-religion ( rooted in monarchism, so it’s short-term irremoveable ), & its framing-games ( Brexit was a result of 1 such ) make it the most-similar to the US, except for the “patriotism” indoctrination that is normal in schools in the US…

it’s a “good” fit

it’ll have consequences for England, of course, as all population-composition-changes do…

…helping Farage’s mission…

You can transplant the body, even the life, but you aren’t changing the religion, & the US’s religion PRODUCED the US’s current-condition, exactly the same as all our countries are in the process of distilling our own national-corruption-essences into authority-institutions, as quickly as we can, because we haven’t got spine-enough to filter-out DarkTriad from authority, in ANY of our countries…

Note the numbers, though: nearly 9k asking citizenship in the UK from the US…

https://blog.hireahelper.com/2025-texas-migration-report/ over 0.26-MILLION moved to texas in the year before 2025-Oct.

Yes, the drasticness of the change is different, but when you’ve got nearly 2 orders of magnitude difference between the opportunism vs the fleeing, then you’re seeing significant evidence of national-nature.

As a US citizen told me, years ago: “you’re welcome in Texas only as long as you’re leaving: don’t try settling there, no matter where you’re from, you AREN’T welcome there”, & over the years that has become more & more validated.

Use 'em & lose 'em, right?

I “wonder” if that paradigm, in-play for workers from other-states, also is in-play for immigrant farm-workers??

That the people with-means are escaping, is natural:

aren’t the oligarchs making certain that they’ve got their isolation, their coddling, & their security, including bunkers, ready & operating, for the butchering-down of the “masses”?

Why wouldn’t we who can afford to leave impending-hell zones do-so, with our families?

It’s the same principle…

We aren’t as causing-of-the-problem as the oligarchs are, but we’re still accommodating of the root-problem, & saving ourselves, leaving others to eat the coming atrocities, same as always…

That woke socialist convict, the root-guru of the Christians, Yesua benJoseph, he got in there with the people who were about-to-be-stoned-to-death, with the convicts, with the crushed, the destitute, etc, & fought for their-validity & their-rights…

No wonder he was exterminated by the privilege-conservatives of his time.

( he was conservative-of-LivingWorth, conservative-of-LivingPotential, & conservative-of-LivingOpportunity, so pretending, as the privilege-conservatives do, that THEY ALONE “own” the meaning of “conservative” is false, & always has been: they just conserve different things.

As a delightful Jewish mind on a TLC TV-show, last-century or so, identified: when benJoseph got violent on the commercial-operation of the Temple, that was an incredibly Jewish thing to do! … he was being conservative, just of the essence of Judaism, instead of its forms … & that difference is important.

All the false-framing in the world isn’t going to go-away for no reason: it has to be force-displaced! )
