Fractional reserve thinking

In the future there are no secrets and pi is a thing, but also war games and whoppers.

With that in mind: Git for thoughts. It helps you avoid conflict by slowing you down until you know what you need to know to do the thing you want to do. It’s like waiting to cross the road. You got to wait till you see a gap in the traffic big enough to get to the other side.

We have ways of slowing you down that you literally wouldn’t believe.

Since hardly any thoughts need to be fully understood by everyone, we can now do FRT. You only need to wait until there is a solution possible. The solution might be a complete lie, but people will "know" the necessary stuff for it to happen. What they actually know might be totally different from what you think they know but digg this: that totally doesn’t matter!

That’s the magic of FRT!

The downside is that when things go wrong, they go wrong pretty badly. But don’t worry the system can deal with divergence, massive divergence, huge divergence, in fact the more divergence, the more space to fit everything in. The more divergence the better!

Yes people will find ways to hack the system, but ultimately that effects them as much as you, because compute has been socialised so everybody pays for the hacking! The more divergence there is, the less hackable the system is, at least from people who don’t know what they are doing.

You will probably find it a bit weird, but...your kinds are gonna love it! #

I had written a note early this morning when I woke up, but it somehow disapeared during earlier's repo git nightmare. I can’t remember exactly what I’d written. It was mostly about the insane levels of sleep depravation and harrassment that I experiences last night. It seemed like almost every possible group from the motorbike gang stalkers to the security guard mafia, to the middle aged yuppies with laptops crowd, to the weird old lady that hangs out outside the shop, to a young couple to name but a few, they were all harrasing the whole night in one way or another. Stealing my sleep, my food, my life and finding it all hilarious. The weird thing is it felt like watchers being watched by watchers being watched by watchers. They left one by one, finally just before dawn they were all gone. I got hardly any sleep.

And this morning somebody had left an earthworm for me, I guess to eat. Such kindness has rarely been seen. The earthworm died btw, ravaged by the ants.

Well things were once again made to be my fault for much of the day today. Again lots of harrassment from young and not quite middle aged peoples. Managed to stay mostly calm through it all.

I managed to listen to a few podcasts and write a somewhat satirical blog post. I say somewhat because it is born out of my very strange experiences here in Vietnam over the past few years.

Anyhow, another difficult day nears it’s end. Hardly any food today. Feeling quite low energy, bags are heavy, not very entusiastic about much. #

Today’s links:

  • Trump tells supporters they won’t have to vote in the future: ‘It’ll be fixed!’ - This is definitely a weird thing to say, and pretty sure he knows what he’s saying. "We’ll have it fixed so good" is one of his classic turns of phrase. There might be a simple explanation. He likes to give the crowd what they want to hear, so could be this is him testing to see if there are people that would prefer non-democratic governance. Definitely worrying. I wonder what the Silicon Valley elites crowd, that have recently stood behind him, think of this bizare thing to say. www.theguardian.com #

  • Trump proposes strategic national crypto stockpile: 'Never sell your bitcoin' - It’s very strange seing all these politicians suddenly turn pro-bitcoin. The fact some want to increase US holdings to approx 1/5 of all bitcoin in existence and use it to pay the national debt is deeply weird. Surely that would kill the dollar? How would we value bitcoin? This is starting to feel like a startup that promises it’s staff loads of options, only for them to end up being worthless after working there for a decade. On the other hand maybe it could trigger a gold rush as all nations worldwide try to buy bitcoin with their fiat while it still has some value. www.cnbc.com #
