Ecologically and Socially Friendly and Sustainable, Anarchic Civilisation
When we use the word “value” in an economic sense, there’s typically 2 context in which we’ll be using the word:
… but these are both perceived values, and thus they differ from person to person; they’re nothing inherent about the nature of the item, they’re just artificially & arbitrarily attached numbers connected to pretty much nothing whatsoever. Continue reading “Perceived vs. inherent “value””
I’ve experienced something repeatedly, I’m hoping some of you can relate, and others will take note … particularly those in the position to change things. This thing, is poor customer service, and it is notorious in the IT sector particularly but not exclusively … So I’m going to explain an example which to me typifies the problem. Continue reading “What is the deal with all the crap customer service?”
I’ve been using Netflix to catch up on movies I haven’t seen, some of which are crap, but as many of you may know, I love cinema and story telling, so I’ll even watch a crap movie, if for no other reason than to learn from where they went wrong.

Image an intense debate between two diametrically opposed viewpoints, where the vast majority of people fit into one of two major camps. This is called a polarised debate.
We usually refer to a bi-polar or dualism as the default polarisation, between two camps … though it’s entirely possible to have a 3-way split or even greater division. But however many divisions exist, psychological and sociological studies show, that people will tend to gravitate towards the most extreme of all viewpoints (hence the polarisation of the debate).

When telling some people about my work on Open Empire, the same thing comes up again and again … and it just makes me wonder:
“before you asked me this, did you listen to one single word I already just said only moments ago?”
It would seem to be a no-brainer as to why these questions and expectations are unreasonable and stupid … and yet, people keep doing it … so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer, I’ll tell you what it is. Continue reading “The stupidest expectation I keep hearing [rant]”
There’s a consistent lie repeated through history in the propaganda of society, that anarchy causes &/or is synonymous with chaos and disorder … which is complete bullshit of course, but that doesn’t stop people believing it.

In Australia we suffer frequent, severe and prolonged drought conditions (as do many other countries), which is becoming so bad that many ecosystems and farms are now either already non-viable, or under such severe stress as to threaten their ongoing viability. Continue reading “Proposal: drought resolution”
Hi everyone … I’ve seen that the reach of my posts extends across dozens of countries, even if the audience is relatively small compared to what I’d like … and I realised the language barrier may be contributing to this on top of the complexity of the subject matter … so what I was wondering is if I could hear from the following people: Continue reading “Calling for translators”
Question 1:
If you were a narcissistic psychopathic sociopathic and unscrupulous billionaire, with a vested interest in an industry causing massive catastrophic ecological consequences, that industry could not be reformed (because the flaw was fundamental to everything about it), you had no control over the alternative technologies, and there was enormous amount of social pressure to ban your industry … what might you do?
