We have the data. This type of command-and-control systems where one person is allowed to be smart and everyone else has their ideas shot down and dignity removed results in the worst products, the lowest quality control, the slowest ability to change to new conditions, and makes the least amount of money. This structure only exists because it is the simplest to setup.
And everyone is mystified why cost disease is running rampant. Why government projects are behind schedule, over budget, and don’t work very well. My employer for example has systems that accomplish the same goals for private vs public sector. The public sector ones are crap and every time I attempt to update them slightly I am told not to by the middlemen between the government and us. Meanwhile our private sector machines continue to advance.
The older I get, the more I believe that life is really about enjoyment, not longevity. We are here to have fun and burn brightly, not live to be 120 years old and hate 50 years of it. Whats the point of busting loads against the wall for decades and doing nothing but surviving?
Societies marketing of long life is creepy AF. I’m in my 30s and all I can see is the negative of how the world works. To entertainment myself and ignore the harshness of reality just makes me want to leave sooner. It feels so cowardly to have to live so helplessly in a world you know is wrong.
Dreams are what happens if your brain is able to hallucinate without any feed back from reality.
In reality your phone works because there is a living board and software keeping the interaction confined to it’s inner possibilities. Your brain doesn’t have ways to allow for this internal logic and therefore interactions with software never go well.
Notice that is only slightly better in simulating other people. Faces are never consistent, but generally people logic is easier to stimulate, so other people are more convincing.
Only time I ever saw a brick as a kid was when one came through the window of the trailer, had a note on it that read ‘cut yo grass’. That’s how they do it in the mobile homeowners association. Credit to a comedian by the name of Dusty Slay since that isn’t my joke.
I have this recurring thing where I notice things like this when I’m dreaming, and it causes me to wake up in the middle of the night. Except I didn’t wake up. I dreamt that I woke up. Then I often fall back asleep again. I don’t wake up until something’s strong enough to wake me up twice.
Except sometimes when my body really doesn’t want to be awake, I’ll wake up a second time, then a third, then a fourth, and it just goes on forever until I’ve really overslept.
