FREE MONEY

FREE MONEY

It is the way things are called and described that count: the word debts means some future pay back time, but this word is a falsification of reality, the word should be “free money from excess capacity”, not debts.

High Debts and High Unemployment reflects a desperate attempt to try to deny that the economic system generates huge free money and free wealth and has huge excess capacity such that the debts can be made anyways, the fact that free salaries are being given out anyways, actually reflects the fact that what is called “debts” is actually the “excess wealth”, “free money” the Technological Economy generates no matter how hard the Standard Economic Model ideology tries to call the free money “debts” instead of “excess capacity”.

If the debts were really debts and the money wasn’t really free wealth, then you would have loads of jobs available and very low unemployment, since the free money would have to come from somewhere, from some “real work” (as the fairy tale Standard Economic Model tries to brainwash everyone with the simple linearity of “more work” is “more wealth” while this linearity is no longer operating anymore and hasn’t been operating for decades). But this is exactly not the case, this situation of the western world full of debts and with few jobs exactly reflects the fact that jobs are no longer necessary to generate wealth, to generate “money”. Otherwise it wouldn’t be sustainable at all, or sustainable for only a few months but this ball game has been going on for decades.

Granted some of that money is generated through cheap “oil” and cheap third world “labor”, but it could have never reached such high levels of trillions of dollars in the USA, EU and JAPAN if the fundamental economic structure weren’t generating free wealth and excess capacity from the outset anyways. Case in point, I read recently that sick man Italy has 180 billion dollars of “retirement costs”, which translates into the equivalent of 18 million “free salaries” of 10,000 dollars a year; it is as if almost 80 % of the country is living off free salaries anyways, no matter what. And this has been going on for years, it is not a recent situation. Now, how is that possible if the system isn’t generating free wealth anyways, automatically ? Same for the USA (and maybe its Defense budget and similar), JAPAN with its load of 200 % debt to gdp ratio and so on.

The entire debt game and budgets game (both in the USA and EU) and similar is a desperate attempt to make believe that you need jobs to balance out the free money, that you need work to compensate the free money given out anyways: nothing further from the truth, there is no longer any relationship between work and money in a sense, jobs aren’t needed to create wealth and money. In fact the money and wealth is mostly a reflection of relationships between people, not “products that are being made”, not “jobs that are performing a function” (especially in the services economy), no it is all a status game, an optional game of power struggles and winning and losing some poker game proxies mostly.

So what do all of the sacrifice, austerity, cut costs measures and so forth that the governments are enforcing in Greece, Italy, the USA etc. really mean: they are saying “please do not create even more excess capacity”, “stop creating excess capacity”, but obviously this is impossible since the Technological Economy is an automatic system, it operates across the entire planet, it will keep on generating ever more free wealth, so those cost cuts, layoffs, government jobs hacked, pensions denied, etc. will only take away some redistributed money from the lower classes only to concentrate even more wealth in the already super rich: go figure, they are already drowning in trillions and they are forced to choke on other trillions without any possibility to even redistribute it through jobs, since the jobs fairy tale means “you have to deserve it”, “you must provide a function” etc. when there are no longer any functions to provide.

So all the OWSes and such must decide: either you ask for scot free handouts, free salaries and cheap rents, or accept a system that will keep on concentrating wealth ever more in fewer hands. Decide, jackasses, don’t get confused, this is what the name of the game is, and don’t be hypocrits: if you don’t want free salaries then go home and watch TV and get out of the way.

AN 8 MAN

With regards to the thesis :

" How an Excess Capacity - Technological Economy implies Free Salaries, Cheap Rents, and Huge Private Public Projects (Rockets to Mars and Skyscrapers) as the only way Forward"

Alexandra and San Jose Mommy (and her hot teenage chick who will present it to her “social studies” class in high school) are working on, you may need to insert the following:

Confusing Words

Think! The problem is that the debts (which should be called Extra Free Wealth Generated by Excess Capacity produced by a High Productivity Technological Economy) have to be “paid back”: but this implies that a linear cause and effect, a simple linearity between money and “work”, “activities” is still operating. But this is no longer operating anymore and has been gradually disappearing for decades now: for example, you have a trillion dollars of debts to pay back and you imagine, you make believe that in the “future” there will be some equivalent work, activities people will perform, inputs → manipulations → outputs that will performed and that should be “valuable”, should relate to other things that are more obviously and clearly valuable like concrete things like houses and cars for example (or food, or water, or energy) but no one really knows what on earth will be equivalently valuable when the production of really valuable things like cars and houses and energy has been optimized, is continually being optimized, can be done with fewer and fewer workers and we often already have too many of such items (like 15 million empty homes in the USA, and maybe 20 million empty homes across Europe from Lisbon to Moscow).

In other words, the imagined future work that should compensate the debts just isn’t NEEDED and just can’t be INVENTED no matter how hard you try. It seems that the world has tens of trillions of dollars of debts, but just one trillion dollars would be equivalent to 10 million jobs being paid 10,000 dollars a year (which is a pretty high salary in most of the world) for 10 years: now what activity, what jobs are available ? How can those number of jobs be available to “pay back the debts” ? Exactly what informational or physical transformation, input → manipulation → output will 10 million people do for 10 years everyday for 8 hours that will be equivalently worth their salary ? No one knows, no one thinks about it, but according to the Standard Economic Model it will be solved by the Invisible Hand of the market, but the invisible hand is doing the exact opposite: it is cutting as many jobs as possible since a Technological Economy is all focused on getting more for less, optimizing, automating, using Computers and Internet to cut costs which means jobs (else why invest in innovation and research if you can’t cut costs (which really means jobs) ?).

So, obviously there is no way that the debts will ever be paid back by “work”: but then this is the logical error, the debts are not really debts, they really represent the “excess wealth generated by the excess capacity” the system generates and can give out freely without actually needing any pay back time hence any corresponding pay back work: it is like pretending you can stop eating for a year and then at the end of the year you eat 100 meals to compensate (or eat 100 meals in one day and not eat for a year), but that doesn’t make sense, the economy is a process, a steady state process that doesn’t work according to that absurd logic: so this can only mean, mathematically, logically, that the debts are not really debts, but the exact opposite: wealth, free lunches, free money.

But the Standard Economic Model cannot accept this, it is too tied up to an 18th century model of “you have to deserve it”, “you have to work for it”, they are still tied up to a simple linear cause and effect model of the economy, like “more work means more wealth”, they are still tied up to a “Protestant Work Ethic” view of life, but the Technological Economy, being an automatic process has hosed the entire model, has crashed that computer program and no one understands what is going on.

OWSers are Reactionary Thugs

I read often that they associate themselves with the greens, environmentalists, climate change doomsters (doomsters of all kinds), etc. Especially anti-consumerist, anti-industrial, anti-progress, anti- technology and anti-science mostly. Well, tell me exactly what will this bring ? Mostly ever more poverty to the 99 %, mostly ever more concentration of wealth to the 1 %, a worsening of all of the economic wealth and well being of most people worldwide, etc.

And why is this ? Why are they so fixed on hating consumerism and an economic system that wants to bring comforts and toys and well being, leisure, fun and happiness to as many people as possible ? Because they have a kind of religious, mostly right wing (but are unaware of how reactionary and backwards they really are) fervor against pleasure, they hate the idea that humanity can advance with technology and science, they want to go back to a “simpler time” which really means the stone ages, as much real poverty as possible by taking away as many advances and comforts as possible, because the consumerism and goods and comforts are “ethically bad”, “are the devil”, “have something bad associated with them”, etc.

Everything is a threat, any kind of energy generation is a threat, atomic energy is looked upon as the devil, everything is bad, in essence, what they really hate is people, they hate people living better lives: they think that in some magical way, getting rid of consumerism, industry, energy, cars they will do the 99 % a favor: nothing further from the truth, this will just make them dirt poor, will create even greater pain for most people, but that is what they really want, they want to punish everyone because the Technological Economy gave the masses comforts which according to them “they don’t deserve” because “they harm nature”.

I can’t believe how idiotic all these greens, doomsters, climate change doomsters and all really are: we need the exact opposite, we need ever more projects, developments, consumption, atom energy, Rockets to Mars, we need the opposite of what the OWSers want.

All of the technical and scientific problems that production imposes on the environment can be solved (even though perfection is impossible to obtain, and you will never solve all problems everywhere and for all time once and for all) or at least can be contained by using a progressive - futuristic ideology, by applying ever more technology, not by condemning technology.

But the OWSers (now firmly stable in the green movements, anti-consumerist, where most of the left usually is also, I can’t believe how warped their priorities are) are mostly bored brats that want a cause to fight for, superstitious idiots that are afraid of what they don’t understand (technology, atom energy, progress, etc.), old hags, old craps, and what better cause to fight than the boring stability of consumerism and the boring move forward that the automatic economy produces ? They are bored, they need an enemy, they need an imagined boogeyman, they need to fight against any technology and progress, what turds, hate them with all your guts, they are fascists, extreme right stone age apes, they don’t want what we really need: free salaries, scott free hand outs, trillions of skyscrapers, rockets to mars, the future, progress, projects, production, trillions of 1966 oldsmobile 98s!

Peak oil is false, it is only carbon chemistry and science will find many alternatives, resources can be recycled and recreated by science, we are going ever forward in all sectors, but the greens - OWSers are failed jealous losers, they are envious miserable losers that hate the progress other men are performing.

And then, it is so easy to be against cars and atom energy and have this anti-consumerist stance, anything that goes wrong and presto they are all alert showing how bad everything is, so old and tired, same old crap going on since the early 1960s, what c*cks, I can’t believe it!

THE APE MAN replies:

Hey Busty, why do you suck so much ? Did you build those trillions of 1966 oldsmobile 98s ? the trillions of skyscrapers and all ? why didn’t you ? Now, what am I going to do ? crack your head open with a baseball bat ? kill, kill, kill everyone ? Now, I’ll jump on everyone! I want that, I WANT THAT, like an hysterical cry baby jumping up and down and breaking uo everything, I want that ! I want trillions of cars, skyscrapers, we need thousands of trillions of people to conquer the universe, trillions of rockets, we will split the Sun and gain infinite energy and split the earth and put a fusion reactor at its center, we will split brains and put atomic bombs in brains and reach new hights, ever more universes, jackasses.

But no, you all want to go back to the stone ages, all protecting that huge pile of crap that is nature (a new religion go figure), all against the future, progress, consumerisms, we need thousands of trillions of new people to consumme and waste like crazy, I want that.

And kill dogs, I hate dogs, they are nature, hate nature, and kill those who have dogs…

perhaps it is useful to think of debts as free money

and i agree the relationship is not linear… more work doesn’t strictly imply more money etc…

but one thing we must keep in mind while we discuss is that at least some people must work

a bazillionaire could give his entire salary away to people… and all bazillionaires could do this, and weeeeeeeeee we’d have money equality… but people still need to eat… not everyone can get a free salary

some people must work

and how do we pick those who have to work, and those that don’t have to work? perhaps its a surplus of money

“but one thing we must keep in mind while we discuss is that at least some people must work”

There is so much excess capacity as people available worldwide but idle that this will never be a problem, and a lot of people would work for free just to do something, just to have a function, so as not to be bored to death or watch TV all day, also with hobby factories you could let a lot of people work an hour or two or whatever as fun, as a hobby, and you would find millions available…think how cool it would be to help build Rockets to Mars and such…

"This problem, IMHO, was totally created by OUTSOURCING … the idiotic drive by corporate America to get the cheapest workers in the world, wherever they might be. That’s why real wages are dropping like a stone and state and federal tax receipts are horrible. "

It is structural, nincompoops. Just when manufacturing and other real productive endeavors (define real?) where being optimized and automated, gradually the “services economy”, “information economy” emerged. But what exactly is “services”, “information” ? services is health care, and granted health care can keep on generating an infinite number of jobs, just get people sick, invent new sicknesses, invent new neurosis, give them ever more pills, give them ever more fake sicknesses to cure (like autism and such) give them ever more impossible targets to reach like living until 100 years old, jogging until 200 years old and such and if you can’t you are “sick” and such and so the health care creeps work on you and such. Services is also “education”, so like how many things must you know ? how many skills must you have ? even education can go on forever, you can invent completely new subjects like “doomsterism” so JHK will educate all on this, like “BRANIUM” so the APE will educate everyone on this, like “EXCESS CAPACITY” so tobor will teach millions of students all the courses and such. So even eduation is infinite.

But mostly it is the target you fix, the target you define as being “important and necessary” to reach that generates the “jobs”: case in point if you need to build a thousand trillion 1966 oldsmobile 98s, then you need thousands of trillions of people working for this “target”, this “goal”. No more unemployment.

But information as such has a kind of infinite productivity in that it can be copied endlessly, but it needs to be produced only once. So the productivity of information is infinite, hence the value of information may tend towards zero.

Also, information workers, by definiton become very productive, at least within a given specialization: once they learn how to program and build IPHONE APPS, then they can go on perfecting this skill ever more and hence kill jobs in the process by being ever better and ever more productive. (one good programmer can do the job of ten, etc.).

So, it is also a race condition between change and specialization, between new and old, but it is especially an optional game: the modern economy simply allows us to play games, invent games, ever more optional, not necessary games and hence jobs, you “never knew that you needed the iphone apps 5 years ago”, but the needs create the jobs, the ritual creates the jobs. Always change, always new, always restructure your company, hire and fire, change is the name of the game, always new skills and education needed but only for this year, next year all new things will be needed.

But that is the problem: no one understands that job creation is, today, a purely cultural affair, mostly an artistic affair, there are no longer any necessities behind most jobs, just fun and games and optional toys and rituals because some arbitrary cultural choice imposed them as fakely “necessary” (like all of the “financial industry”).

So then, if you don’t invent some fake jobs that will pay real money, just give scott free handouts to all of those you still don’t know what you want them to do. In the meantime, my job creation program of trillions of skyscrapers, Rockets to Mars and oldsmobile 98s may absorb some of the “unemployment”.

And create brains that have atom bombs exploding inside them, they will reach completely new universes with new laws of physics: those brains will have a lot of fun in that world…

Also all of this new information creates ever more conflicts as ever more new choices and options become available, so people can fight over which option is the best…

“As Tegmark constantly reminds, we make our own reality.”

Not really, we are set up with a given reality by the design of our brain, we just make up a few little details and choose amongst a few little options during the course of a life. But it is the design, with five senses, the organization of memory and information in Man Brain, the emotional and pain/pleasure interactions and circuits etc. that have been established once and for all (in an extremely arbitrary, fluke and quirky way if ever there was one!) by “Natural Evolution”. You could really say that the true reference system of our universe (as experienced by our Man Brain) is not Space - Time but Pain - Pleasure: all of the informational bits, signals and sensations, patterns discerned and revealed during the course of a life experience just connect the dots between signals and pain/pleasure, which then, of course become ever more abstract, complex, ever more denotational - symbolic (with the awareness of the “other person’s judgment and mind and judgment of us and what it implies”) and creates mirrored pseudo pain/pleasure, win/loose, emotional rollercoasters internally and all.

So then, given that the goal is simply PLEASURE FOREVER, then the only way to achieve this is to throw this old clunker of a Man Brain away and design a new one.

And seeing all as a possible new mind design, all could be a brain, anything at all, then you can explore BRAINIUM, where all you see could be a circuit of a new brain, or a memory, or a chunk of new emotional circuit, or new sense organs, new logical structures, or roads and highways could be neural paths, imagined, cars are messages made up of metal that let the macro brain experience new universes, etc. You get the idea…

Must I go over this over and over again ?

That article:

neweconomicsinstitute.org/conten … st-century

on the “alternative economy” is worthless crap: we need huge increases in GDP, ever more consumption, ever more population growth, targets, trillions of all, you get the idea, I hate the greenies…We need goals and targets, we have millions of young people that no longer have any target or goal, but if you tell them to build trillions of skyscrapers and Rockets to Mars, they will finally have a function, a meaning, a goal, and won’t beat each other up with everyone fighting everyone as usual.

But the greens, alternatives, hippies, anti-consumerists don’t give these young kids any target, any new and bold and proud target, they only tell them to roll over and die and go back to the stone ages because they think that the “wealth is finished”, “resources are finished” “everything is over”, when this is a big fat lie: WE HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY POTENTIAL RESOURCES AND WEALTH AVAILABLE, WE ARE ONLY JUST BEGINNING, WE ARE GOING TOWARDS INFINITY AND THE UNIVERSE AND THE SINGULARITIES.

What party poopers and losers all those green, OWSers and such be with their Resource Scarcity Myths.

And ask for scott free handouts, so they can understand that the present Standard Economic Model is a broken program that doesn’t work anymore.

AN EGG MAN

But alas, we can keep on inventing and creating new models, new ideas, forever, new blocks of texts, new explanations, an explosion of concepts, ideas and information, all contributing to the worldwide GDP, so then this is the new economy ? Create symbols on the Internet ?

But the power to change nothing ?

WE WANT PLEASURE FOREVER BUT ARE UNSATISFIED FOREVER AS AN ENGINE TO SEEK PLEASURE FOREVER

Money is never ‘free’.

Are you suggesting that the 100 trillion dollars swimming around in banks worldwide are the equivalent amount of money robbed from workers worldwide ? So then one billion workers have had their 10,000 dollars a year salary robbed from them for ten years ? Maybe, partially, it would be hard to trace which worker, where, etc. but the system is a planet wide “exploitation system”, and everything is indirect, opaque, intractable, impossible to follow, too many causes and effects in the middle, etc. like software, there is always a delay between things which were once immediate, there are so many vague “middle men” or “activities” going on, impossible to know…more like 30 trillion are robbed salaries and 70 trillion excess capacity, profit from technology only…

But I still think that the major trend is the elimination of as much work as possible, the system wants to kill jobs, not “create them”, and then the more productive the job is, the more real and valuable, the more it will “kill itself”, self eliminate itself: a job is there to “solve a problem” and if it solves it better and better (more and more work?), then it will eventually eliminate itself, etc. Of course to compensate and “create” jobs just to distribute money, you have to invent a lot of “fake jobs” for real money, but there is a limit to how many “fake jobs” you can invent, the sum total will always be negative: more jobs killed than created.

I still think that we are going towards a jobless society, the trend is the elimination of work no matter what unless we decide to build trillions of Rockets…

As the APE says:

“But that is the problem: no one understands that job creation is, today, a purely cultural affair, mostly an artistic affair, there are no longer any necessities behind most jobs, just fun and games and optional toys and rituals because some arbitrary cultural choice imposed them as fakely “necessary” (like all of the “financial industry”).”

I like the first post. Interesting perspective I think. I’m mainly posting right now so that I don’t forget to come back and read the rest in another state of mind.

The problem is that the debts (which should be called Extra Free Wealth Generated by Excess Capacity produced by a High Productivity Technological Economy) have to be “paid back”: but this implies that a linear cause and effect, a simple linearity between money and “work”, “activities” is still operating. But this is no longer operating anymore and has been gradually disappearing for decades now: for example, you have a trillion dollars of debts to pay back and you imagine, you make believe that in the “future” there will be some equivalent work, activities people will perform, inputs → manipulations → outputs that will be performed and that should be “valuable”, should relate to other things that are more obviously and clearly valuable like concrete things like houses and cars for example (or food, or water, or energy) but no one really knows what on earth will be equivalently valuable when the production of really valuable things like cars and houses and energy has been optimized, is continually being optimized, can be done with fewer and fewer workers and we often already have too many of such items (like 15 million empty homes in the USA, and maybe 20 million empty homes across Europe from Lisbon to Moscow).

And in fact, if there weren’t excess capacity, the possiblity to print money for nothing, if there wasn’t an automatic wealth generation machine (then why does everyone expect a “return on investment” no matter what, and this expectation has been going on for decades, it is “natural to have a return on investment” which means it is naturally that wealth “increases automatically”, just like “GDP growth”, etc.), there wouldn’t be so much excess trillions of dollars of cash sitting in banks or to lend out, speculate, and put in the “stock market”, “financial markets”, etc. there wouldn’t be so many “unemployed” (and in fact everyone would be working “very hard” since all the debts must be paid back, there would be zero unemployment because the system would have to activate all of its resources to maintain a “high maintenance” standard of living) because the consumption and wealth and standard of living the USA, EU and JAPAN have would have to be backed up by real “work”, based on “real work”, “real effort”, “there is no magic”, no shortcut, you couldn’t just print trillions like the FED does, etc.

You wouldn’t have the possibility to accumulate so many trillions of dollars, you would need the complete effort of so much labor to back up all the cash present in the system: but it is not so, the system has free cash because a Technological Economy generates it structurally, it needs little labor (nay, labor and work is mostly irrelevant, there is maybe no relationship at all between work and wealth - money, let alone a linear one), it has huge economies of scale, it has many amplifiers, one of the most important is OIL itself (but OIL is not running out and it is simply carbon chemistry, science will find substitutes and don’t believe all the doomsters, Resource Scarcity Myths, too many people myths and save nature myths), but also many others, etc.

So don’t believe the BS that people have “to work harder” to pay back the debts, or that they need “more education”, “more innovation”, “more entreprenuers and small businesses” to “create work”: the entire concept of “creating work” is false and flawed from the outset, and you need more education and innovation and research at most “to compete more efficiently against other workers”, but this competition BS really means to win the market share poker game, to try to redistribute more gain to one party as opposed to another, as in competition really means fight, fight for it, fight for wealth that is generated automatically by the system but kept out of reach just because, just because the powers that be can keep it out of reach, just like high real estate prices.

And all of that competition and innovation is mostly just arbitrary values decided upon by arbitrary artistic choices (IPHONES and IPADS, FACEBOOKS, etc.), not by necessities (except for the areas associated with real production like automation, research and innovation applied to production technologies, etc.).

So asking for SCOTT FREE HANDOUTS IS ETHICALLY, MORALLY AND SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT: DEMAND FREE SALARIES, CHEAP RENTS, ROCKETS TO MARS.

AND A HUGE BUS SYSYTEM ALL ACROSS THE USA. To think this whole thesis started out asking for only a BUS system, mass transportation, public transportation all across the USA…

Most people have a way too idealistic view of things: things are always “wrong”, it was always better “before” or in the “past”, Busty tells us what is “wrong”, and so do so many others: of course you will always find something wrong, something is always wrong, something will always be wrong. But look at history. The world has always been a huge clusterph*k, it has always been a huge “mess”, because Man is conflictual, contradicting, always change, always something, wars, quirk decisions, forces at war, you name it. Enough with the idealisms and with the explanations of what is wrong, like TV is bad, school is “not good enough”, and now the Internet and Computers are “bad”, consumerism is “bad” and so on forever with every possible issue you can find, and believe me, straight from the mouth of an ape, there will always be issues and even if there weren’t you could and would invent a million new issues, problems a million new impossible targets to meet, as every explanation of what is wrong already sets “impossible targets”, etc.

“Italy is a case in point. This is the end of democracy as a system if the unelected are allowed to run countries.”

And by the way, Italy now has the best government it can possibly have, it is the best government in more than 20 years, at least they have finally decided to do something and take some decisions: the democratic process is a huge turd, everyone against everyone else, we need a technological government the decides for all…and creates huge consumerism programs, consume like crazy, trillions of oldsmobile 98s, trillions of Rockets to Mars, trillions of all…

You see, I now told you what is wrong, that is my target, maybe an “Impossible Target” to meet, but is useful as such so that I can repeat forever what is “wrong with society” just like the tree huggers and JHK’s doomsterism and Peak Oil BS, the rascist BS…

Many don’t understand that all “problems of society”, all debates can be decoded very easily, as Man is a one transistor circuit, a simple bit, as Man defines himself and identifies himself in the “fight”, the battle fought and “won” (or imagined as won), how many battles did you “win”, the “contrast”, the “opposition”, A against B, nothing else, but mostly Man is simply oppositional, will want the opposite of what you want always no matter what, like an automatic reaction: you want Jesus, I want Allah, you want queers, I want straights, you want blacks I want whites, etc., nay, we define what we want only after seeing what the “enemy” wants, whatever he wants, I will set my goals as the “opposite”, just because, because the Man Brain sucks, because Man is a turd, very simple.

All the jackasses on this blog who are against “consumerism”, or TV or want to protect that huge turd called “Nature”, etc. well what kind of world do they propose ? A boring stone age world where nothing ever happens, there are no Malls, TV, no cars, no action, no new things, no TV commercials and such. What a boring life, you might as well just roll over and die. And in fact as soon as they would get their “perfect world” (what a joke) a million blogs would appear saying that that world sucks, is “bad”, is “wrong”, we need malls and cars and consumerism, etc.

So as you see, there is no right and wrong, there is no better or worse world, the Man Brain is a turdy old clunker that must be hosed and everybody should crack open their skulls and stick large Oldsmobile V8 engines inside the skull and mixed with the Brain and step on the gas so that they can go into other worlds, other Universes, as a different design of the Man Brain will make you travel to parallel Universes with wildly new laws of physics, wildly interesting experiences, wild pleasures, emotions, wild everything beyond anything, beyond heaven (and also beyond hell) ever more.

So that is what I want, everyone must immediately crack open their skulls and stick wild stuff inside it, real fast, the more crappy and irrational the stuff, the better, the faster you will reach a new world, like in the Twilight Zone.

And also: trillions of skyscrapers, trillions of 1966 Oldsmobile 98s, Free Salaries and Cheap Rents, Scott Free Handouts because I simply want to sponge off others, I want to be a parassite, let the idiots work (actually force them) since I want to steal their money and live greatly, other people are worthless turds, they just must be my tool, I have no values, I dont like people…

Why Everything you “Think” you Know About the Economy is Wrong

For example, everyone is against more population, everyone afraid of Resource Scarcities, etc. But to increase wealth, well being, more richness we need ever more population, we need more of everything, huge increase of consumerism which provokes ever more Resource Exploitation which doesn’t mean Resources will run out, but will be recycled, Science will solve all problems, we live in an Infinite Resource System and Society. We need ever more people ever more diverse, they will create all new jobs and services from a simple probabilistic point of view, because more people means more novelties, more new circuits activated, more diversity, ever more. More population means more wealth and Economic growth, so the problem is to increase it wildly, infinitely. That is why New York City is richer than that midwestern sleepy town or Tokyo is richer than that rural Chinese village, etc.

But we love that linearity that more people means less wealth, everyone will take away from me, because people don’t like the presence of others, think that they are a threat, they will take what is theirs, but this is false, this is just an automatic reaction because we psychologically don’t want others around, as a threat, so we rationalize it as being “against more population”, consumerism,etc. It is the other way around, more people means more wealth and more resources, etc.

BUt we need thousands of trillions of people, thousands of trillions of cars, skyscrapers, you name it, ever more.

But of course, it is my word against the Resource Scarcity crowd, each one imposing a design of the world according to what they think is right, but they are wrong and I am right, but the two views cancel out, and nothing goes anywhere, all is vain…

"My Christmas wish for members of CFN is that those of you who virtually LIVE on this blog can find reasons to NOT post. I don’t say “get a life” because that’s too glib. Rather, I suggest that when any person on this blog averages 100 posts per week they CANNOT have a healthy, person to person, social life.

And I don’t wish the “solitude of the screen” upon anyone here or anywhere on earth. We have become slaves to tech. As a magazine cover says: “Every day, computers find people easier and easier to use”.

Go out. Meet people. Take a walk. Write a journal. Post sparingly."

AN EGG MAN REPLIES:

Another idiotic myth, the “person to person” encounter and such BS. So exactly what is the difference ? It is only an exchange of information anyways, just a block of texts made up of flesh and meat, just a Man Brain as a ball of meat emitting pictures (as in “body language” ?), outputing symbols and sounds to another ball of meat. So what gives ? Why is that “superior” to simply blocks of texts talking to each other on the Internet ? Why is that “spiritually” and metaphysically “better” and “more natural” and “nicer” and so forth ? (Maybe if it was an exchange with a hot young chick, but the goal is obvious and all else is just noise, or maybe frustration, you always lose anyways, go figure…)

Oh, so I can decode all the facial expressions ? and all the body language, tone of voice, movements, fake emotional queues like laughing or anger or whatever ? And so what ? what changes ? The other person is always a turd no matter what, is always wrong simply because it has a will power independent from mine, can be a potential enemy, can take something away from me or deceive me. Blocks of texts can’t do anything but keep on polluting the Internet with a huge amount of BS, just like mine.

Think how TV is so much better, it is a completely automatic life, you don’t need anything else. Watch TV for 24 hours a day for a trillion years, get out of the way, be alone, be a nothing, disappear from sight jackasses, be unhappy, be unsatisfied, be bored and blame it on technology instead of yourself since you possess an old turdy clunker as a Man Brain…hose the Man brain, crack your skull open and pour bleach in it, pour gasoline in it and step on the gas, put chips in it, make it fly and sing, jackasses.

I am waiting for the Cramp guy, the killer to say one day, I killed the APE: I shoved his head into a V8 engine Oldsmobile and stepped on the gas, I wonder what new universe he found…I was tired of him always saying to crack open your skull and throw wild stuff in it, I finally did it, TO HIM, the car only went a few miles before the engine burned down, the GREAT NEW BRAIN MASTER has finally finished his daily sermon, talk about a wacky religion if there ever was one…

Hey, who else are you going to kill Kramp guy ? How about yourself ?

You can use some clues to find the APE: he probably lives in some Oklahoma suburb, all white (no blacks or fagots), probably is an old man of 71 years stuck in an imaginary life of 1966, stuck with the mind of a little child or almost baby running around in his backyard with his toy cars and imagining his New Brains and Parallel Universes, waiting for his imaginary “Mommy” that is cooking for him, etc. Or it could actually be a 7, 8 or 9 or 10 year old kid…(?)

But we need games that help devastate the world and pollute it ever more, like a Football game (American Football) played with cars, an iron ball exchanged between cars clashing, so much noise, pollution, the car tackles, cars on top of each other, and then go back, they “run”, imagine all the steel clashing, the noise, all the Engineering Problems that need to be solved to create a Football Player Car with associated Pilot or Robot ?..

Fooltball played by Cars using large V8 engines crashing, how spiritual, how much superior that is to everything else, steel and iron clash, noise, make a mess, god will be happy…

And why do so many others post in my name, how did they find my passwords ? how many fake people post instead of me, sock puppets, one person has 20 screen names, what a confusion…

I am not 8man or tegmark or maomao …
