No society can survive without a sustainable working class. AI is just accelerating the elimination of lower and middle income households. They won't end up with an indentured slave class like they think.

The way the economy works is,  it must grow, EXPONENTIALLY,  or it collapses.

That's just in the nature of the existing accounting system.


Now that we have a global energy shortage of nearing 15-20% for what looks like indefinitely,

That system can't grow, and therefore, it MUST collapse.


So, here comes the CREATIVE_Accounting, to change the rules.   But we're creating new claims for the same 20% LESS of everything.


Which is to say, INFLATION+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'm a year behind on rent and bills teetering on being kicked out, have just enough food to get through today and tomorrow, and bank account is overdrawn.
The American dream?
I feel like I should be more stressed about my situation, but it is so far removed from my control it feels like a slow motion car crash.

Ergonomic sucks for home use, they are meant to keep you upright and alert. NOT conducive to 8hr YouTube binges while eating pizza.
I cannot stand sitting in an ergo chair for more than a couple hours at a time, which is I think, at least one point of them. Sitting for long periods is bad for you period. Create a chair that promotes good posture, but you cannot get comfortable in.

What is PROFIT.

Profit is , you make the difference between what IT cost you, vs what you sell IT for.

So, really it's an informational difference, gatekeeping.

Functionally, it's no different than organized theft.


But theft is inaccurate, because in reality, you don't own anything, you only claim that you do.

Theft is then not wrong, as morality does not exist absent artificial structure.


Theft, like any other endeavor, is merely the actuation of the perceived path of survival, as a necessity.


Then we're left with, anything goes. 

BUT Where then can you cleave good from evil.


Limited by the act of cognition, we only process some frames of reality,  if the frames are large enough in scope (feed the hungry), crossing a chosen threshold,  we call it Good,  if the frames are unusually small in scope (steal computer mouse),  we call it EVIL. 


That's it,  how good you can be is merely the breadth of your empathy,   how evil you are is merely the narrowness of any pursuit.


All attributes, the size of stone or human personality are genetically cast across the spectrum between dualities.


And it is only via the searching does the "semblance" of "sustained reality" come about.




We're in a bind, because if we never got into binds, we'd never know which sharp rock one should not attempt to sleep on.



Optimists see that collapse MAY lead to renneissance.

Pessimists see that collapse MAY merely flame out.


The universe, Tp4 suspects does all things, for without which it would be bored.

In that Great Mess, is our silly civilization, an experiment perhaps, more likely only 1 color of the universe's set of pastels.

I am using a Stressless (Reno, leather version) for 10+ years now. Still fine. You just have to swap the foam every 5 years.
All the ergo office chairs I had before broke within a couple months/years, because I like to wear jeans.
Usually the mesh ripped (rivets catch the mesh) or the fabric wore trough.
My next chair will be a leather Stressless again.

OMG, found a charger that does exactly 0.5C , 4 channels. IDK, kind spensive. mmmm.... It is allot more convenient.

But not very versatile, because it can't say push 65w to 1 battery like the stock charger can.

That would be nice, if a charger did both, just more functions,  slow charge for when you don't need fast.
