Oah! :)

OK.

I have obviously pissed a lot of people off, and I am not a diplomat, but I can tell that, really, you want the info as concise as possible. I respect that, but please understand that I am trying very hard to prove WHY changing the currency type is so important for any substantial, evolutionary, sustainable change to happen. And I want to test this with the smarts you all have access to, your AI. Those interested in empowering the world, that is. If you are just interested in profits in a usury/commodity world, don’t bother reading further.

My long form article was my way to show how I arrived at this point. You all gave me more than -30+ karma. Then I wrote the short story, and got another -30+. Everyone in the entrepreneurial world says write stories to connect to people. I tanked. OK, so here is the point form of where I am going, and how. I will probably tank again with all your objections, but you didn’t read the first thing I wrote, did you? Get my point? Going around in circles doesn’t solve anything. THAT IS WHY I KEEP SAYING I NEED YOU TO THINK, AND STOP BEING IN FEAR MODE, FFS! 

I was about to write you all off and send you the FU article I wrote weeks ago, after all the negativity with my first article, which was just presenting the story of how I got to where I am with the absolute need for non-usury/commodity, free, neutral, currency to value creating sustainably, because it’s easy to see you don’t want to think, but look back at all the comments, if you want, and see how many times I said I need you to think. You have the intelligence of the world in your hands, and you are being entitled to being stupid, which is inexcusable for all of you.

No, you are not writing me off with your negativity. You are doing that to yourselves. So, like the madman, I am desperately asking you to please fucking think. THINK! You have said I bring up some good points, but FFS think about them. Think about the ‘what if’ if they were real. Use your AI to test the parameters. That is the point. YTF do you think I am writing on an AI social media platform?  It is not about status points about being a different thinker. That would be pathetic. There is a world to save. So let’s save it by changing it where it counts: the currency type. 

Do I have to explain the etymology of currency? Currency. Current. Flow. What currency do you want that values your highest self? Do you know what that highest self is? So I need you to think. 


1
Human nature adapts to its environment to succeed. If there is scarcity, then we look for dominion, war. But we are in abundance now, which has nothing to do with money, BTW, so we CONTRIVE war because that is all you all know. So you CONTRIVE war, ownership, think in objects. Humanity is so stupid. It is only through peace that you will evolve. This cannot happen piecemeal. You all have to spread peace, use systems to leverage peace. This is impossible in usury, because usury creates war. Think.


2
The human condition is we do not know how to love ourselves as much as we choose to love others, seek love from others. I could extends this by saying humanity has completely forgotten how to use its instinct/intuition [no, we do not have to split that to one is for fear; the other for trust. It is all the same thing], but I will leave it here for now, if at all, as you all will probably not give a shit about what I am saying or offering anyway.


3
There is an overwhelming propensity of measuring status by how many resources we own, not how we use them. The more unsustainable, the cooler one is. This is pathetic at best. It is short-selling life. Being does, not is. Peacefully. Respectfully. With gratitude. 


4
Humanity seems to think that if we reach perpetual love, we have reached the end of what life is for: to try to get there, but never reach it. That’s psychotic. YTF do you think humanity is so fucked up? Life truly begins, is truly experienced, begins from perpetual love, when we fully love ourselves. That is where peace really begins, too. We can try to get there, or just believe it, KNOW it, this second. It’s up to you, and it’s OK either way. It’s not a big deal. You decide if you want to go with fear, or trust. Your move. BTW, you can’t price that, in any money, but in currency, sure. It is just not a quantitative one.

Anyone read ‘Illusions: The adventures of a Reluctant Messiah’? Richard Bach 1977. Read it. 

I just realised the word ‘illusions’, could be III, or IlI … 3 x I’s. Amusing connection.


5
Humanity wants to trust. We inherently trust. HTF do you think we trusted the bastard that created usury? What was the selling clincher? We live in scarcity and people are greedy. The phrase ‘love or money’ exists for a reason. Usury has nothing to do with love. It commodifies, QUANTIFIES, everything. The world, Earth, is not quantity. Anything worth designing has to be based on trust, not fear. 

Look at children. They are the smartest, most instinctive little things you will ever meet. And then you want them to turn out like you? Which part? The one when you wanted to follow your dreams, or the person you are becoming to earn money? No, they are not the same thing. Think. Everything should be designed around, for, children. Until the day we die. Think. If you go negative on this, you are not thinking. YTF do you think I told you to think especially on this entry? 
 

6
People create wealth. Always have. So a currency of any meaning MUST be owned by the people, free for the people to use, what I call a ‘neutral’ currency, not owned by someone to distribute, who then owns your debt and wants it back. Get my point? If you want equality, empowerment, education for all, health for all, etc, you don’t use a currency that OWNS people. They are the wealth, not who owns the fucking money. No one should own money, currency. Nobody. That is the start point for BX, the currency I designed. I did explain, if you fucking read the first article that my background is in architecture, and any good architect knows this is useable philosophy, so here I am. 
 

7
The only real god, if you want to call it that, is Earth. Have whatever spirit god you want to believe in, but the real god is this crazy Earth that SUSTAINS our life. Glorify humanity all you want, but there is nothing to glorify ourselves about if we kill the fucking thing that keeps us alive. Politics is going to change butt-kiss. You all know that already. Changing the currency type will. YTF do you think I am doing this for? To talk philosophy of hoe to pick up women? FFS …  I am more interested in women that are their own philosophy of existence, who are all love. I have only known 2. They are glorious. :) God really is a woman, but that’s another story.
 

8
History has put humanity through some serious shit. We take away when we could give. We hurt instead of heal. Usury did that. If you want to disagree, then have a conversation about it, but FFS, test BX and see for yourself, vs your cognitive bias to go nowhere. I am not here just for a discussion to sound cool and go to events and talk. I am here to do, not be. So, BX is based on education, not gold, an algorithm, whatever. It is a ‘bank’ that is really a direct reflection of humanity itself. Of you, actually. I have to make a go-between from qualitative thinking to qualitative thinking, so you all pay yourselves for any time exchanging knowledge. B60/h per person. That is the baseline. If I teach a million people about how to use BX, for one hour, then the BX bank, BXB, pays out B60 x 1,000,001 people, and the BXB is -B60,000,060. That’s it. The bank is not a profit-seeking entity. If it was, it would drive commodity thinking. We are not commodities. Neither is Earth.


9
A currency of any value has to be non-commodity, therefore non-usury, non-demurrage. Neutral. So, there is no making money on money. There is no need for different currencies, just 1. Simple. In case you get into this trope that one currency is a prequel to one entity owning the world, if the currency was usury, even demurrage, then yes, you would be correct, but BX is a neutral, non-commodity, currency. All the users own the bank. That is what de-centralised really means, not some stupid algorithm distributing transactions, for a profit, which is just a different version of centralisation. But you all knew this. Fucking hell, the bullshit I had to deal with about Bitcoin and alt coins and blockchain when I used to go to events and conferences. 

I don’t own the BXB. I just have an account like all of you do. That is my ROI. And, yes, it’ll be worth it. What did I say? I need you think, but I will be explaining more, of course. 


10
You must know that wealth has nothing to do with the number of zeros one has, right? In usury and demurrage, it may, but in a neutral currency, it means absolutely nothing. Usury is about selling the least quality at the highest price. Faking scarcity for more ‘value’. What a mindless way to live. Any empowered, empowering, economic model leverages the highest quality at the lowest price. Qualitative over quantitative. Sustainable quality vs unsustainable quantity, rare or otherwise. Who cares? The latter is stupid. Think.
 

11
We are 1, but not in the way it is sold. Religion isn’t 1 about anything, but let’s look at Jesus.  My background is Christian, but I identify much more with Shintoism and Hylozoism, if I had to describe myself through ‘isms’. Buddhism is nice, too. This paying an evangelist to get more money back just shows how disempowered humanity is. Can be. Who is Trump targeting for votes? Think. Who the fck says America needs a strong man, and that is Trump? Trump. WTF do you think he is saying? The fucking idiot, and look at all the dumbass cronies, minions, who are much smarter than him, endorsing, protecting, etc. JFC! Who’s the evangelist in that scenario? Get my point? USURY CORRUPTS EVERYTHING! 

We are 1 not out of ethics, but through creating excellence, within self, and for others. We exist on Earth to find, and express, our strengths. War is not strength. It is weakness, especially for a species that has become cognitive in the way we have. And so, it is our birthright to LOOK AFTER EVERYTHING ELSE, NOT FUCKING KILL IT! WTF DID I SAY? THINK! I went to a conference once where, after my saying excellence over ethics, everyone else screamed ethics over excellence. HTF do you all define excellence? Do you think excellence is achieved alone, at the expense of others, over others? That isn’t excellence. That’s stupidity. It is through SUSTAINABLE excellence that we, by default, are ethical. Sustainable Quality. For everyone. 
 

12
A neutral currency, physically distributed by the people that now own the bank, with their BX account [BXA}, alleviates any need for CRIME! If anyone needs more money, they can always go somewhere to be educated in something that interests them. They can always work in a community business [CB}, and earn the same, where what is created is given for free. Or they can work in a for profit business where an entrepreneur thinks, feels, they can earn more money, creating a better product, than running a CB, which is why the currency is there. I explained al this in detail in  my first article,. To explain how all this works, but you all didn’t read it, and so, you will loop back, again, see? You will ask all the questions that the first article will mostly answer, but you instead gave me negative karma. And you will give me the same here but saying I didn’t explain anything. See? You fucking arrogant disrespectful bastards. 

 

So you can keep trying to save nothing in usury, or really solve something with BX. Free, neutral, n need to speculate to earn more money against others, all access to make the best of yourself. Will there be some stupid people? Sure, but at least you are using a model that wants the best of people, not  made for the worst, therefore glorifying them. 

 

You know all this stuff, if you fucking think. You stupid fucking bastards judging me in the small-mindedness you have presented to me. Fucking think. You assholes. And see, you will go negative on me, instead of actually reading. That is how stupid you all are. Or you can wake up and we can test WTF I am saying and you can see if I am right. Which I am, of course, but let’s see, shall we? Instead of using AI to make more useless content that creates so many more problems about who owns what, etc etc etc. Are you awake enough to understand what I am saying, or do you want to just judge me because I am in your stupid idiotic faces so you will attack me as an excuse for your dumb learned conformist cognitive bias? You see? Of course I know how you think, because you will choose to be stupid instead thinking. But WTF did I say? I need you to think. 

 

And, yes, you deserve all the crap you gave me, more, because you chose to be so stupid and not think. Because I tried to respect you, but you treat me like I’m your shit, you fucking cunts.

 

Anyone read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? Robert M Pirsig 1971. This is ESSENTIAL reading. 

 

Now, to just get reaction out of you all as I am sure you swallow the hype of Ayn Rand, not what she ACTUALLY IS SAYING in her books, as anyone read The Fountainhead and/or Atlas Shrugged? As I HATE money, but respect the heroes in her books, of which each have heroines as well, do you think I missed something or you all did? What did I say? Think. She isn’t the problem. It is the losers that faced up what she was saying that are, because they were after the money, not the QUALITY her heroes and heroines were creating in her books. Big fucking difference. If you want to hate me for just saying this, well, great, I culled some more people to get to the real thinkers in this AI society. I am only interested in talking to people who have autonomy in who they are and what they do. 

 

The last book to mention is Voyage from Yesteryear. James Hogan 1986, I think. As close to describing BX as I can find, in an alt currency of any meaning, that is. Not exactly, but it brings top some great points. 

 

These 5 books will teach you more than all the bestsellers in the last 50 years, but you need to fucking think. Usually, any European would understand what I am talking about in 3 seconds and we’d go get double espressos at a cafe somewhere, but, sadly, I am not living in Europe. And if you are Americans, well, FFS, no wonder you are all stupid. All I have to say is TRUMP, and it explains everyone about your entitled ignorants arses. 

 

It is the middle of the night here in AEST time where I can be myself and be angry at the disgusting world I have to face everyday, with it’s entitled mindless stupidity, so that is why I am swearing a lot. I fucking hate the life I lived, because I learned to really make an empowering currency, for all people, for free, but the people in control, when it isn’t the usury usurpers, it’s idiot AI gurus like you, that are as much guru as a gnat. You idiots. Wake up. 

 

OK. That’s it. +61 403 993 699. z8694850@zmail.unsw.edu.au. If I don’t hear from anyone, then I know there is no point continuing posting anything, and you can all stay and live in your tiny universes changing nothing, with all this knowledge at your disposal, but wasting it, and I’ll retire in the Maldives earning 20%. If you know where the 20% reference comes from, good for you.

 

I hope there is someone out there in the AI universe that really wants to think, and empower the world to create empowered, sustainable, change, creating quality accessible to everyone, which can only happen by changing economics, which can only happen by changing the currency type, and that has to be free, based on education. 

I am not talking about that everyone can get Bugatti’s. What did I say? THINK!

Not that complicated, once you figure out who you are …

:)

that is the last fucking smile you are going to get from me, unless you see through your shit that make you give me so much shit. And you don't give a fck, then stay small thinking you are big OWNING knowledge. You fucking idiots ...

I have -70 karma. That's vitriol. Can't post for 3 weeks. That's more than vitriol. See my point? From just 2 articles. That's intense.

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-23T00:52:25.673Z

I'm working on it, but the -karma stops me from explaining it better. If it is juts comms, then people don't have to be negative and shut me down from explaining it better. Anyway, I will post again when I can, and see how I go.

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-23T00:49:25.277Z

Well, I can't post what is likely to be my last until I get past this negative karma. You'll just have to wait. Hopefully you'll all understand where I am coming from then, or it won't matter and I wasted my time ...

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-20T15:07:41.050Z

People say make an idea a story, and I still get slammed. 
Read my first article clearly, although you will have t suffer about how I got to currency modelling to empower sustainable change. Fck, have any of you people thought of that? That isn what I am trying to get across. FFS ... Get the fck with it, and fucking think. It is only through changing the currency type that humanity will be able to change anything. 

And now what you al will says ai ma zealot. See? I can't fucking get any fucking constructive point across with the fucking limited minds I didn't expect here. Get my fucking point? FFS. Not ONE person thinking about currency. FFS, you all idiots until you think of this and how to change it, which I have already done. FFS  ... 

Idiots  ...,

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-20T15:02:26.203Z

I know I make some good points, but I thought a story would be good as my first article received so much vitriol. So I chilled and wrote this. 

I am going to write one more article and then forget this platform. I anticipated some response to discuss how much a currency type is so essential for change, but you also missed that completely. That is the point I want to make, but also the absolute stupidity that humanity chooses to be so stupid, and this is real time of the same thing, with some of the smartest people I sped to connect with writing me off completely. You can understand that, correct, but even then, not one person has though about how much usury/commodity currency defines, promotes, that stupidity, and not one person has brought that up.. Not one of you. 

 

You don't have to be sorry, just don't be stupid. But all of you are if you ate not thinking about usury vs a neutral currency. Get my point? 

OK you idiots. Keep destroying the world. Honestly, this is driving me insane that not one of you even thought about currency modelling for the greater good, It is beyond stupid for people with so much access to knowledge. 

I have to wait 3 weeks now to publish my last article. What a pain ...

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-19T06:52:50.051Z

And yeas, you are right in your points in summarising the story, but you didn't think about it, did you? That's the problem.

 

I think I am almost at -60 karma. I am very sad abut that, because I really expected you people to be much smarter. But if you want to hurt on someone, that's your gig. You are all missing the point from why I am writing here.,

OK. do what you want.  It isn't the badge of honour I expected, but I am not going to play games by saying going negative is cool. It isn't, but it reflects more on you all, not me. Just saying. You are all not thinking. You need to think. So think. Or stay stupid and go negative son me. Your move.

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-19T06:51:36.454Z

It is a short story. No one liked my being honest in my first article. It is up to you to not enjoy how it is written, but that's your choice. I could have written it as a non-fiction article, but thought you all might like a story to get my points across. It seems I can't win either way. 

I will publish one more article which I was going to do before this, but either way, I will make that my last. If you can't think outside the box, that's your problem. It seems I can't find anyone who is really expansive in their thinking, so the third will be the last, and you can all deal with saving the world in your little boxes where no one fucking person can't see usury/commodity currency is the fucking problem. How the fck can't you supposedly smart people see that?

Fucking hell, you'd do better not being so patronising. Fucking try to think. It is not me being the loser if you can't think outside usury. Get the point? And AI is not the problem. Humans are. Think, FFS.

Fck. So much negative karma. What the fck is wiring with you people to not think about what is being presented instead of being entitled fuckers who think your tiny space is where the world can be saved? You kn ow this is the issue, right? You all know the need to transform the total stupidity of humanity that it seems you people want to hang onto. Do you want to think, or be entitled Cs in your cushy offices thinking you are another version of Apple? 

Think, FFS. 

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-03-03T17:58:05.713Z

I added some headings, but I am not sure they help. I thought it would maker more sense to establish myself that would then establish how I got to a solution outside of usury. So once I am cleared to write a shorter version, I will. But, man, more than -30 karma? Because I am telling people to read instead of jumping to conclusions? With the first thing I post? I was told LessWrong has a high standard of content, so I made a point of doing that, well, thought I was, by building the big picture, the whole story, to get to why, what, how. But I don't have the best solutions. What could AI Achieve, with the framework presented, given that I know, and what I am trying to let you all know, that a neutral currency is critical for any empowered change to really happen. Let's use AI to see what it would come up with. 

I didn't expect the article to be this long, but the initial, much shorter article was rejected because the moderators said I was muddled. So, OK, here I the big picture, establishing the whole argument. What will happen with the shorter article I write is I'll get questions to explain more. And so I go round in circles. That is why I left a link to what I wrote on Medium, to give other options. I am doing the best I can to explain something that is really outside what we accept as currency. BX is not for those that aren't interested sustainable change. We have to start somewhere. Who on Earth has heard of a neutral currency, ye? 

If people want to disrespect innovation in the sustainable space, that is their problem. I just didn't; expect the vitriol here. That's entitled ignorance talking. Exactly who I want to avoid, but really didn't expect it here.

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-02-29T20:29:43.472Z

I am not crazed ranting. I am giving a logical argument for why changing the currency type is essential for any substantiative change. It is your problem if you can''t see that. It's an hour long read. If I was ranting, would you not think I would be more in your face? And I do not point to one article. I point to my site  give you alternate options to read different ways I have tried to explain the point, some shorter articles, some longer. But all point to the value of creating sustainably based on excellence, not ethics. 

Your last line says it all.  You are a stupid idiot with no foresight who can't see passed what you want today. So this is not for your consideration. You are too small. For you to even say 'crazed ranting' twice just shows how fucking stupid you are. Mindless. Are you voting for Trump? I am just checking ... because you sure as hell can't comprehend anything, even if you read, which is unlikely.

I wrote on this LW because, I  had hoped, to reach some truly intelligent people who are interested in solving solutions for the greater good. I came here because Connor Leahy was truly worried about AI taking over humanity, and i gave an argument for a solution outside what sadly has been realised as your blinkered way of thinking. J know that the moderators do want effective content on this platform. My initial passionate 'rant', if you want to call it that, was rejected, and so I made a more formidable argument. 

But saying I am telling you to go to an 'article' on Medium is stupid. You didn't check. You don' think. You are just proved that in spite of all the access to knowledge you all have, or could have, which it seems you don't have, otherwise you wouldn't be this dumb, you thank I am just peddling something. Why would I bother doing that here for? And you wonder what AI has to do with changing the world for the greater good? You stupid idiot.

Just make sure you get white bread. Anything else for you would just be wasted. You stupid fucking mindless coward. Cowards, because all you seem to be pathetic. My mistake.

Every time I read  this comment,  I can't believe the entitled ignorant stupidity of it. I did not say I am a genius. I gave perceived scenarios as I see it in transitioning, but offered how AI may see options. I am doing my best. Empty ignorant critique is useless,, no? I did explain the transition, if you read. You are in your tiny boxes for how to use AI for the greater good, those that care about that at least, with Connor Leahy going nuts over Ai overtaking the world, but with what framework, and can we change it? We won't, can't change the framework without changing the currency type. We got to start somewhere. If you don't find it believable, that's fine, but you don't understand BX, do you, so how the fck can you find any of the scenarios believable, even as a stepping stone to make them better? So, thanks, but you need to think first, no? But we reached your limit. So move along. Nothing to see here. Have a nice day. 

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-02-26T17:17:08.499Z

You should read it. I define what usury is. Any cost on currency. I can't disagree on parts of usury. that is stupid, would you not think? I am not ranting. yes, what I am writing is outside what is usually on Les Wrong, but do you want to be in little boxes or think outside it? Your automatic judgement of thinking of my article as an object misses the point. How on Earth could you think I could be so stupid as to think it is only parts of usury I do not like?

Man, if you do not know to read it, forget it. I couldn't care less if you want to judge and not think. Jesus, I got -22 karma! Fck, I had no idea all you people would so closed minded. it is incredible. Obviously al you AI gurus aren't using AI to expands your minds. Therein lies the problem. 

Your limitation if you don't want to understand it.

What do I mean by usury and if I don't like parts of it. What a fucking dumb thing to even say. Read, or go somewhere else. I am not here to be stupid, nor deal with stupidity.

For all the knowledge you all have access to, you all sure as hell are fucking stupid.

 

'By the way, I define usury in its original meaning: that it is any cost on currency, not the updated definition of an exorbitant cost on currency.'

Did you miss that? Read. Don't like parts of usury? It's all usury, ao how the fuck could not like just parts of it? What a fucking dumb thing to say.

The entitled dumbness just seems endless ...

OK. I will work on the headings, but I just tried to edit it and it seems I can't because I have less than -2 karma. I am -22 now. So much vitriol. I wrote the shorter article and Jacob said it was muddled, so I wrote the full version to get to how I got to know it is the currency type. 

BTW, I did write a comment article that sumarises this about 2-3 weeks ago. I don't think anyone read that. Feel free to search for it, if you like.

I am not able to write anything now for a week, so I will do ask you suggest then. I appreciate the feedback, but wow ... -22 karma!? well, I did say this was going to be a big ride to understand WHY it is only through changing the currency type to a neutral one will humanity be able to create sustainable excellence. That is what I mean by the greater good. I explain that in the article, if anyone actually read it. It seems not. I knew this would be tough, but we got to start somewhere.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Will do once I am able to. :)

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-02-25T18:51:38.544Z

I wrote a shorter article in the beginning which was rejected. Hence the detail. I do not know how to make headings for this. The title says it all, no?

I am trying to present the scope of my learning to get to how I got to currency as the driver. Should I take that out? Should I be completely analytical and just say the currency type is the driver, this is what it should be, and that's it? But then I get people asking for more depth, and so I write this. Is the story of how I got here uninteresting? My aim was to validate myself to readers that I am not in a box, that getting to currency, and the type, took a lot of understanding culture creation, etc. If I take that out, I will get other judgements of what I miss, etc. Isn't it more pertinent to look at the argument presented?

Did anything interest you, anyway? Does the argument make sense? Should I take out my personal story of architecture?

Everyone wants me to write a different way, and I do, to be told t write a different way, but isn't it more important to address the subject mater? 

You are welcome to read alternative versions of my work at my Medium address https://bit.ly/3SAmlWj, if you like. What I really am looking for are people to act on what I am proposing, but it seems I have a score of -21, which seems unprecedented, and no one is understanding what I am proposing, and just missing the point.  Ah, well. I tried.

Comment by x-o on [deleted post] 2024-02-08T12:55:31.622Z

Hi all,

I recently saw a video of Connor Leahy discuss his fears of AI reaching awareness in a very short time that could compromise humanity. Of course, there are other issues that are a variation of the same problem, such as climate, change fraud, violence, environmental decay, lots of other issues that people are trying to resolve, unsuccessfully, inside what is ultimately an economic political structure that is fundamentally disempowering. 

My background is in architecture of which I learned a lot about sustainable design. I also learned that being sustainable isn't cool, so I started a radio show.asa research platform  to find out what the problem was, instead of doing a PhD, which would fundamentally be too limiting in its focus. I need to look bigger, not smaller. the short story is the problem is money, specifically usury, in its original definition of any cost on currency, not an exorbitant cost. To define usury as the latter is just a scam.

I've avoided writing the book and all that stuff, and getting into spreading the word of the problem, without having a really effective solution. That solution, being what currency, model, type, would resolve creating sustainably, to incentivise, creating sustainably as a status, symbol of excellence. In such a world, being ethical, creating collaboratively in sustainable research, would be inevitable. Therefore, the distress that Connor is expressing would be resolved. So would everything else. You might think that sounds completely crazy, but one has to see how the such a currency type would work. I know it may seem weird that I'm here on LessWrong. Bringing this up, but you all want to find a way for AI to fundamentally help people, help humanity, but instead of fighting with an economic political framework that makes this so incredibly difficult, what I'm presenting is to change the framework that makes conflict and trauma redundant.Disappear, that competition values, collaborating, not the other way around, to effectively create sustainable excellence, and using resources much more effectively more than a peaceful, economic and political structure. That can't happen, unless you have the right currency. .

No, I am not selling a crypto. All of these are usury, fundamentally commodity currencies. A good solution has to be non-usury and non-commodity. It also has to be free to use. And the bank, if you want to call it that, has to be owned by the people that are actually using it. Also, as there is so little access to excellent education in usury economics, it really has to be based on that, not gold or an algorithm or whatever. That's just crap to be totally honest. My base is the bank pays all in education B60/h. The bank is not a profit-seeking entity. It is just a ledger. No tax, fees, etc. These are the basics of the framework. Anyway, I've developed the model. I don't want to be a talker. I want to be a walker. So I made it.I call it BUXBE, based on the parameters that I just said above. Of course, there's more to it, but I'm trying to make this short form! :) 

My intention of connecting here is you are all the most intelligent people alive in the space that really want to find a solution in the AI space to resolve the issues. Humanity is in. However, in my research, development, resolution, there is no way to resolve this within the current economic and political framework. That we are living in. If we could, we would have already done it ago. And that's not in AI, but as I said in everything above that stops making creating sustainable excellence, possible. Again, to be perfectly honest, you're really wasting an immense amount of resources, and immense amount of resources trying to find solutions in a framework that doesn't want you to find them. People say that to change economics, ask the politicians. However, they are owned by usury/commodity like we all are. If going to politicians would work, we would've already solved the problem. Obviously, they haven't.

Humanity really underestimate how currency, the currency we use to exchange with each other, the framework of the currency that we use to do that, effects so much about how we connect with each other. We have just accepted money as it has been delivered to us, distributed to us, and just accept it. But that's only one pot of what human nature is. There's a lot more behind that. Also, currency has been fashioned around the game theory of prisoners dilemma. I keep asking, who the fuck said we were prisoners? Okay okay. Short form short form I'm working on it.

So, ladies and gentlemen, because I want to be a walker and not a talker, I've also designed the app to make using BUXBE feasible. Getting support to build an app that's free where there is no profit centric framework to make money in a usury/commodity world is obviously pretty difficult. There is no money in being sustainable. Obviously. But I can't nonchalantly assume that I have every scenario figured out in how BUXBE can empower the world to create sustainable excellence. I think I have it. I think I've got everything sorted, and I know how to apply it in relevant scenarios. But you are the smartest, most intelligent people with access not just to AI, but to understand how to make AI be developed for the greater good, at least trying to do that. So let's do the research on the what if we were living in World using a neutral currency? Let's see if what I'm presenting would actually work, in what matters to you, with your concerns, not just what I think the issues are to empower the world and that's it. 

Of course, I'm pretty sure BUXBE will work, but I'm not gonna be a conceited psychopath and think that I've got it all sorted and that I'm an absolute madman. genius. I'm not here to be a character, an existence based on object to whatever people think is famous in our current world. Being does, not is. Valuing object is meaningless. It is the actions we take that define who we are. Humanity really wants to connect in a positive, constructive, empowered, peaceful way. It is the economics that we live in that we have accepted, that destroys that.

I know it's really easy for people to write off what I am presenting because you are all so used to trying to find solutions in this massive economic mindfuck that we just accepted as reality. But it isn't. If you really want empowered, sustainable change, one has to look at the heart of it, where the core is, and change that. 

So I'm writing here to ask you not for help, Just for me, it's really also to help you resolve the problems of AI being designed and therefore learn to have its awareness to then write off humanity. If you are in an economic framework that demands overwhelming destructive competition, then of course we created the problem. Change the economic framework, then all your research will naturally develop to be coded for the greater good, not some crap that prioritises money over people.  I've been doing this for a long time and it amazes me that no one is actually thought of this. There have been some people. 

Of course that have tried to design currencies for the greater good, but they are still so commodity focused, and so can't work. I think you AI designers are blinkered into the same scenario. Humanity has access to so much education, but I fear that we don't know how to use it.

I am aware that I am trying to cover a lot of ground in a very short article, which I already think is probably too long. I know I have to answer what we think human nature and human condition are. Human nature is we adapt to our environment to succeed. The human condition is, we don't know how to love ourselves as much as we choose to love other people. Short story. I'm also looking at the history of currency as an object and so therefore, we think status is objective. That's a massive problem. Massive. Saying to be subjective, of course, it's not the issue either because that misses the point. It's interesting that I can't find a word in English to define status based on action, the doing. Being does, not is. Forrest Gump may have it right when he says 'stupid is a stupid does'. I'm just not interested in being stupid. I don't think you all are either. That's why I'm here.

So please have a think about what I'm proposing. Ask me anything about it. I'm asking for you to look at the framework, the environment, that you're trying to find solutions in, not try, and fail, inside the rabbit hole that usury/commodity economics imprisons humanity in. Same thing same way same results. you've heard that before. The link to my writing on this in greater detail is accessible here: https://bit.ly/3SAmlWj. I hope that illustrates that I'm really serious about this, and not just faffing around about some esoteric solution that can't exist.

What amazes me is, how many times I've heard of people given accolades of thinking outside the box, the sphere, to change the world and then of course change nothing. it's why I've become a recluse. Just not a disempowered one. Well, I'm trying. Humanity looks into spirits, the gods, living in space in a universe we think we can never achieve. It's much simpler than you think. The only real God is Earth. We are the first thinking cognitive animal that has overcome its environmental limitations. That earth offers. The tragedy is we think we need to fight it when really humanity's evolution is to understand how to evolve mastering peace, not war. It's still blows my mind that so few people really understand that. And even when we do, we make it an exception, not normal.

OK, it's midnight now in Australia. Time for me to ride quietly away on my motorcycle and get a midnight coffee. That's how I relax. Wherever you all are, go well. :)
