#Consider ...

wallstreet dont add, they take.

and they call this wealth extraction "profit", or even "make money".

worse yet!... they destroy 7 times as much as they extract. [ this means we're already 8 times richer ].

and military and weapons industries destroy orders of magnitude more.

we have so much headroom, without the crooks.

how much destroyed from espionage(++)? from banking? from FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate)? from politicians and regulators bought by these interests? and what crooks more, both bureaucratic and bully?

#

how much more yet from the secrecy industry?

with all these potential multipliers to uncap.

we have so much headroom.

even the richest now, would be richer. no robin-hood strategy required. take the brakes off. de-secret the emancipatory technology. spaceships for everybody.

this gets real easy once we each have more facilities than the richest showboating billionaires today. we can build forest arcologyscapes, dyson rings, habitatats & terraforming on many planets, moons, dwarf planets, many space stations... space expands faster than we can fill it.

no cull necessary.

(ps, zero inertia propulsion, means we can lift mountains as light as a feather, accelerate infinitely (because, remember, ZERO inertia, not just inertia-dampening), and so can also stop just as fast, very safe for avoiding collisions, and more so, can be arranged such that the more one gets on a collision trajectory, the more it pushes against that, in perfect correlation... there's so much safety margin... anyways, point being... we do not need to brute force it, like with rockets (impressive a feat as that is, ~ and fatally limited), space is easy.)

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity… anything you can imagine we already know how to do.” — Ben Rich, former Head of the Lockheed Skunk Works.

“It is easier for us to pay a private contractor to re-invent something so it will come out at a lower classification level, than to try to declassify it.” – Bennett Hart, then Deputy Director of the National Reconnaissance Organization

PS one more thing to consider... :

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing…kill yourself. It’s just a little thought; I’m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they’ll take root – I don’t know. You try, you do what you can.

(Kill yourself.)

Seriously though, if you are, do.

Aaah, no really. There’s no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan’s little helpers. Okay – kill yourself.

Seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good.

Seriously.

No this is not a joke. You’re [going], “There’s going to be a joke coming.” There’s no fucking joke coming. You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It’s the only way to save your fucking soul. Kill yourself

Planting seeds.

I know all the marketing people are going, “He’s doing a joke…” There’s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend – I don’t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations. (Machi…) Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too: “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing? He’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market. He’s very smart.”

Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking, evil scumbags!

“Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now? He’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research – huge market. He’s doing a good thing.”

Godammit, I’m not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet.
“Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.”

God, I’m just caught in a fucking web.

“Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market – look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…”

How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you?

“What didya do today, honey?”

“Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight.” [snores] “Yeah we just said, you know, is your baby really too loud? You know?” [snores] “Yeah, you know the mums will love it.” [snores]

Sleep like fucking children, don’t ya. This is your world, isn’t it?

still need to mend this. still need to change this ride. :) and we can. any time. a choice. between fear and love. so please, join us all, stop letting yourself succumb to the ploys to get you to fear everybody, and start getting together to discuss remedies.

or we could just leave it to the demons to run amuck, leave it to the tiny few, already long corrupted by imbalances of power, with their ploys of terror, and have no say, let them do as they do unto us... is that turning the other cheek? i'm not so sure. and i don't think that's a fitting approach in full and whole, for the situation we're presented with... flipping tables of the money changers for committing usury, may be more the tone required.

the world over. while we still can. so we dont lose the ability to mend this. window of opportunity.

does your #family know how much #gafam are making from #panicdemic?

#ask, and #tell your #cats too, how much you think #google #apple #fascbook #amazon #microsoft are making... and at how much at your expense?

i think we can do more for the world to prep for any such problems. and much better without the #gestapo nonsense. empower people, with facilities and more, refusing losses of basic human rights.

frankly i think we should have #spaceshipsforeverybody . . . that's where we need go. immediately. maybe you've looked into it too, and seen how long ago, and how many times reinvented and re-denied us... end all these fake scares to convince us to throw away every last shred of empowerment and freedom we have. #tricorders for everybody, like an #opensource #freesoftware ( like #freespeech) pocketbook laboratory to perform any and all tests we can fit in a pocket sized scanner informer type thingy, to help have a #fullyinformedpublic so we have a chance to make more information rich based decisions in our voting (including mending how we're voting... #configuration-democracy anyone? yes please. i'd have some safeguard constitutional clauses in mine, as standard, to not let the whole thing go wild away in a moment of being terrorised and trolled. just one example among trillions of the sorts of ideas you could go through including in your configuration vote. ... oh alrighty, i'll ramble on more about the #configdemocracy idea, in this instance, lets say, i'm thinking of it in part of a #hybriddemocracy #hybrid-democracy hyphenated is better, or you get the double d. anyway, one portion of the vote could be the configs. one portion could be the partliamentary. one portion could be sortition and lottery. one portion could be longer term scrutiny 2nd house system, comprised in parts of each of the others, and part popular vote, and part peerage/croneyism (sure, why not, that's not all a negative detrimental thing, it has its merits, and when in part, and in so many checks and balances here...) ... anyway, that's just one set of examples to ponder around. having a democracy set up like the segments of a citrus fruit for example, each portion picked from a slightly different angle, and covering the bellcurve of each in each, but fairer voice of representation bulged slightly at the ends for the minorities at both ends of the extremes, not so far like dumbells, and not so little like a spinning top, just a sensible amount like a citrus fruit. stuff like that i'd put in my config-democracy vote. and dont think we cant get all these complexities worked out into a voting system that amicably(?) balances(?) all(???) the(?!) best(?~!!)... idk how to word that, not wanting to presupose how we'd meta in the principles for the system how it many ways can offer ways of representing ways of all its ways of ... weighing. or like a pomegranite, where the seed in each cell of the pomegranite is actually like a citrus, with each cell capable of making it's own multiple seeds all along its representation range,... and hyperdimensional soft edged (edgeless?), so everyone can be in any/all of the pomegrantite's cells... idk if this overly fruity overly visualisation representation of a possibility was helping. ... if i had a configuration file to work on. if we all did. wouldnt we want to preen our vote to the best we could? wouldnt that get us the representatives we deserve not the representatives the system coerces us to hedge for the better next most likely than the next most like likely worse candidate/party. ) ... sorry... what were we talking about before side-tracked with the greater untapped potentials of #democracy ... oh yes, better approaches to #pandemics

but maybe now more of us will see #bucky was right. where 1 in 10,000 of us can create an innovation to support the rest, what need have we to #enslave (!!!?) everyone, when we're at least 3 generations deep in overt and suppressed #emancipationtechnology ...
