Here's the Safety Ladder that exploits Fears to justify anything -
Why are you doing X?
We are doing it for your safety.
We are doing it for the safety of your family.
We are doing it to keep the org and thousands of jobs afloat.
We are doing it to save the country
Reducing peoples fears, not increasing them is the only path to prevent the entire chimp troupe quickly climbing that ladder any time something unpredictable happens.
Batteries are not magic. Or new. Check emissions in producing them and cost of recycling them at end of life. Those cost multiply as you scale up to handle grid level load.
There is an upper limit to how how much creativity groups will tolerate.
It pops out of the Explore-Exploit Tradeoff. So we end up with separate spaces like academia, labs, studios etc. See how the story ends for Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galileo etc. Tale as old as time.
They give everyone the false and very misleading impression that with One prompt all kinds of complexity minimizes. Its a bed time story for children.
Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety
asserts that for a system to effectively regulate or control a complex environment, it must possess at least as much internal behavioral variety (complexity) as the environment it seeks to control.
This is what we see in nature. Massive variety. Thats a fundamental requirement of surviving all the unpredictablity in the universe.
Bullshit is a requirement to keep groups together. Thats much more useful than intelligence. Its really a signal of group binding capacity.
We hire Bullshiters to run around 24x7 to tell people what they should be scared of, what they should love, what numbers they should hit, what status they should aspire to, what flag they should die for etc because left to themselves they will come up with very different answers.
Given the variety within the chimp troupe, in terms of personality traits, needs, backgrounds, skills, taste etc there is no good reason why groups wont drift apart with time. Unless the Bullshiter is on patrol 24x7.
They have spyware sitting in the sky too monitoring the weather 24x7. That has nothing to do with whether they control the weather. These systems just get overloaded with a tsunami of cat vids 24x7. So its all just Illusions of Control theatre. It allows people to check boxes, so when Boss calls up on Oct 6th for status report, they can say all clear go to sleep. And on Oct 7th after the illusion gets punctured the story becomes well boss the spyware didnt report anything so dont blame me or the guy who makes the spyware, cuz we cant find anyone sane who wants to spend their time building illusion of control toolkits.
Well I feel the same way about Kim Kardasian. So I get what you are saying about the gap and finding ways to shrink it cause I want to become like that too.
I wouldnt worry about him. Cash and Assets are not Power. See Rockefeller, Epstein, Jack Ma etc. Why did their stories end the way they did? Outraging about them online is not the only cause.
Most have never taken a Philosophy or Political Philosophy class which shows these are ancient cycles with slight variations. These cycles keep repeating because of how the human brain handles fear and unpredictability. That has not changed in thousands of years. It just creates stories. When stories dont align the cycle reboots.
