  • I kinda suspect that debts to people and companies within the US would mostly get erased. Because at the end of the day, money is a fictional thing we invented to make it easier to conduct trade. Odds are that we would take away the real valuables from the former elites - their buildings, land, assets, and finding jobs for honest workers at places that don’t suck donkey.

    We might be able to beg foreign nations to delay or restructure debts. Maybe. Depends on whether the diddler in chief presses the nuclear button.




  • I don’t eat nearly as much food as I used to, and now exercise more regularly by going to the pool every other day. The doctor still thinks I am not doing enough. Here’s the thing: my intake of food is about 1/3rd of a close relative.

    Between the doctor’s skepticism when I tell them that I have done things differently, and the lack of weight loss from a changing lifestyle, I am coming to a conclusion: don’t trust this doctor, and genetics is definitely a factor.

    It is my hope for AI doctors to become reliable someday. My human doctor doesn’t really look at me, and doesn’t listen, and I hate talking. I prefer writing, because talking is hard. Being raised in the boonies, conversation in realtime isn’t a skill of mine.








  • IMO, the problem with Capitalism is that it inherited the structural baggage of previous economic systems, which themselves were transitional forms of what came before them. It is all a collection of improvised bandaids from the beginning of civilization to now.

    If we are to have an economic superior to the 'isms we had before, we would have to deliberately engineer it from a clean-sheet design. No prior institutions, no previous currencies, and so forth. Game theory, questions of what we actually want from the system, and so forth would all have to be considered.

    It would suck installing a wholly novel economic engine into society, because it will have major teething issues…but it is clear that what we got now, cannot let most people survive nor thrive through the troubles to come.


  • I used to be anti-death. Now I am in the pro-death camp. This is because if a 2nd American War is concluded, we will be left with many living MAGA in our prisons. Do we really want to house members of ICE in our prisons for life, or allow them to once again walk the streets they terrorized? Members of the Trump Regime willfully given up their humanity in all the ways.

    I cannot help but feel that executing them all will allow us to allocate more resources towards the people who matter: children, immigrants, and others who still have their humanity.
