Try oats: they love eating the shoots.

When you buy “cat grass”, it’s oats.

Just get some whole oats from your local health-food store, & plant ‘em, & let your friends eat the stuff to their hearts’ content:

it’ll do their health good, too!

He understands.

So, East Germany, basically, with tech.

I’m suggesting you invest in reading a book on https://www.LeanPub.com called “Algebra-Driven Design”.

the reason I’m suggesting it is that the complex-requirements you’re being persecuted-by, are exactly the sort of thing that that book can help with.

( I’m presuming you code )

By creating the domain’s algebra, & using meta-programming, you can prevent whole categories of bugs.

I only got part-way into the book ( I’m braindamaged, & have beenfailing to learn programming since the 1980’s, when I lost 1/10th of my brain-volume ), but being able to create an APi with ZERO bugs in it, is part of what I’d seen in that book.

I’m a huge believer in keeping requirements divided into dimensions, & keeping those dimensions orthogonal, because once you fail in doing that, you’re fscking doomed.

Here: got the link for you:

Sorry, but air-quality damage from gas cooking & air-quality damage from burning cooking-oil have nothing to do with each-other.

Both create harmful air.

Cooking with electric stove ( induction seems to be the cheapest, next to microwave, in terms of energy ) removes the air-quality harm done by gas.

Burning cooking-oil harms air-quality no matter what heating-technology was used to produce the mistake.

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )

& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.

( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )

so, I can’t understand your position.

Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.

Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.

You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.

That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.

Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Anybody who pretends that the US hasn’t operated as an empire, there is even a book named “How To Hide An Empire” on it.

That insight ( the link ) of Glubb’s was important.

Please glance at the history backing it, in that table, on that page…

I believe it is partly that the empire-rulers identity becomes sooo completely mis-matched from the actual composition of the empire, that it is an inevitable self-destruction, at that age of its evolution.

1. insightful question,

2. it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.

“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”

A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).

It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.

Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.

Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…

The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.

“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.

It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.

Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??

Do it.

Everybody do it.

Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.

I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.

There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.

No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?

Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.

1984, but for-profit.

Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1axll4s/reddit_files_to_go_public_reveals_that_it_paid/

• Spez got paid, according to that, $193,000,000 last year as CEO.

• reddit “never turned a profit”.

I can’t imagine the corruption/anti-integrity required to reconcile those 2 facts.

How come he isn’t in jail, for fraud??

Simplistic.

Anarchists pretend that no-archy is both good & workable.

No-archy, within your body, is called metastasized-cancer.

Having bone-cells growing anywhere-they-want, is no-archy.

Having bone-cells growing ONLY where they are supposed to be, is archy.

Same with every kind of cells.

Whenever police-services of whatever kind is removed from a civilization, organized-crime becomes the police.

“Nature abhors a vacuum.”, automatically demonstrates its inevitability.

Try un-corrupting Northern Mexico, now, after the drug-cartels became the real government of that territory.

The hierarchy within your body, with the 4 brains running everything…

• cortex / human-brain, capable of considered-reasoning
• limbic / herdbeast & pack-animal brain, imprints, conditioning & reacting
• brainstem / lizard, in charge of the mechanics of the 5 F’s: feeding, freezing, fleeing, fighting, & mating
• nervous-system of the gut / worm brain.

One’s gut-biome modifies the funciton of the nervous-system, significantly, too.

But anybody who denies that hierarchy is intrinsic to evolved-intelligence, is incompetent.

Anybody who denies that hierarchy is intrinsic to the human-advantage of considered-reasoning, produced by the cortex, is incompetent.

Just letting all the organs in one’s body decide “by consensus” what to do, blotting-out one’s human-brain, wouldn’t produce human meaning, it’d instead produce porridge’s meaning.

The same is true in civilization.

You cannot have people incompetent in science doing science…

You cannot have people incompetent in managing doing managing…

You cannot have people incompetent in teaching doing teaching…

…without anti-strategic consequences conquering the civilization ( exactly what all countries among our world, at the moment, have done ).

This Anark posits that hierarchy itself is the problem.

OK, so his brain, at the top of the hierarchy within his organs-system, within his body, holds taht hierarchy itself is the wrong answer.

Do you see the narcissistic “different rules for internally vs for externally, different rules for me vs for you” scam that politically-motivateds pull, relentlessly?

Hierarchy itself isn’t the problem.

The problem is the rewards-system embodied in particular hierarchies.

Given that corruption is normal & pervasive in human-nature, the ONLY method for breaking corruption’s rule of our world is … FLOSS doing the managing.

Make the eligibility for authority be removed by being of the narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty hexad.

Make the eligibility for authority be contingent on one’s responsibility.

Make it so that authority cannot be gained politically, but instead only through tested merit.

I’m not talking about politically-highjacked “meritocracy” which always devolves down to privilege-archy, I’m talking about guaranteed-healthy-level-playing-field where education works properly, and cannot be highjacked, where adequate-nutrition is guaranteed to all students & children, where people as part of their educational development are got as competent as possible ( not as dumbed-down & turned-into-steers, as our “education” institution is oriented to doing: “the only manipulable child is a broken & insecure child”, as John Taylor Gatto, the NY State Teacher of the Year award winner, pointed-out )…

I’m talking a kind of education where each student is brought up to their rightful capability, no matter what “grade” that is, for that subject, so you could have a 12yo learning calculus in 1 session then learning basic-English in another, instead of dumbing-down everybody to the institutionally-enforced lowest-common-denominator…

( fundamentally the communist concept of “education”, which is regimented mass force-feeding is evil, as it runs-over the GodGivenPotential in nearly-all of the students’ lives, manufacturing aversion-to-learning, in place of the hunger-for-understanding that had been born into kids )

You boost up LivingPotential, and as people reach the more-competent levels, you challenge 'em more, & test 'em more…

and you prevent the people who have the wrong character, the wrong nature, from having authority, systematically.

THAT is missing from all political-systems in our world.

Politics intends that narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty have exclusive-rights/authority, and uses every means possible, to gain that highjacking.

Break political-motivation from authority of any kind.

ONLY THEN will it be possible to discover what having a “healthy brain, healthy heart, healthy bones, & healthy muscles” means, for any civilization.

Anyways, downvote me to hell, for not parroting accepted-dogma.

Hierarchy is required both within one’s body & within any effective civilization.

Corrupt-VALUES make it impossible for a hierarchy to produce uncorrupt results, but corrupt-values are not God-given, not Universe-predetermined, they are indulged-in by our kind.

Ruthless objectivity & ruthless integrity can, if held-to, break that from our social-momentum, for a portion of humankind, IF that portion has the spine to earn it.

Otherwise, The Great Filter will just keep escalating, until our rampaging ignorance has force-extinguished all humankind, later this century.

it is called “establishing ownership”.

Once their identity is consolidated that way,

then they can enforce their certain-in-their-own-unconscious ownership of Asia, through any violence necessary.

You can see equivalent self-dishonesty in the West, & you can see it in Modi’s delusion that Russia is going to help them against China, even through Russia is financially now a vassal-state of China…

Once the economy guts the Democrats in the US, losing them the 2024 election, & Trump guts NATO, backs Russia & Saudi Arabia,

what is going to protect Asia from China’s smashing it like they did Tibet?

7 years from Trump’s coronation ( in 2025 ) is all Asia has left, it seems.

Establishing ownership is fundamental to bullying, btw: rodents do it, sneaking into places at night, so that they feel righteous when fighting for “their” new territory during the day…

I hadn’t understood that bullying had both a yin/molesting/violating phase & a yang/overt-bullying phase until rodents taught me how it’s done…

The governments who push privacy-violating laws & systems, then later stomp civil-rights, they are demonstrating exactly the same Pattern.

The religions who push for “some” control of everybody’s life, relentlessly pushing for “a little more” authority, then once a tipping-point is crossed, suddenly they can switch from yin-bullying to yang-bullying … same thing.

It’s a really common pattern throughout human history, lately…

Anybody who ignores the Financial Class, and how civilization’s laws are formed in concordance with money-lobby/authority, isn’t competent to be discussing what system we are living-in.

Capitalism without highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is capitalism.

Once highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is included, it changes to moneyarchy.

As it exists, it is a mixture of oligarchy & corporate-moneyarchy, but it definitely isn’t “just” an economic system, it is a world-governing regime.

https://www.vox.com/2014/4/10/5601062/oil-curse-explained

Perhaps you didn’t know that perjury is S.O.P. for tobacco companies, but, of course, prison-time for contempt-of-court can’t happen on a corporation, only on us…

Go look up The Panama Papers, & see if moneyarchy isn’t the correct term for what the evidence shows to be actuality…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

Moneyarchy is the correct & proper term.

As for socialism, whose concept of socialism are you claiming competes against moneyarchy?

Sweden’s seems insane: EVERYbody pays huge taxes AND gets welfare…

Don’t they understand that the more “recycling” of money per unit of result, the more lossy their economy becomes, the higher the “friction” or “viscosity” ( pick your metaphor ), and the smaller the percentage of their effort that actually produces results??

Which Socialism?

• codependency
• interdependency
• ideology-centered
• practicality-centered
• things I haven’t thought-of go here…

I’ve never seen a governmental version of Socialism that wasn’t the codependency-version or the ideology-religion one.

Meritocracy & Socialism … what is in the intersection between those, on the Venn diagram? Nothing?

“you can’t have any meritocracy with socialism” seems to be the belief, among many, but Sweden’s education system seems to get meritocracy right ( unless I’m remembering another Scandi country’s version ), where they simply don’t permit any bypassing of the national meritocratic education system…

Because of political-motivation, objectivity isn’t permitted in this world, and neither is practicality, from what I’ve seen…

And that kind of meta-rule wrecks everything else.

Hell, even gaslighting about “Representative” Republic being “democracy” is so normal I keep forgetting to put that back in viewable place…

As some have noted, the ones who rule make certain that people have things other than the actual issues in-view…

and that is 1 of the characteristics of the -archy regimes, where the population is just herd-animals, consumed by the powers that really run the world ( for-profit corporations parasitically feed-on the human-herd, manipulating humanity’s awareness to remain fed-upon, is one accurate metaphor )

The whole narcissism/machiavellianism of orienting government to the most-successful narcissist-machiavellian, and through “elections” making certain that competency & responsibility are punished, in the “game”, by giving authority to the narcissist-machiavellian ones, preferentially…

Reward-systems are feedback loops and have consequences…

Try convincing … anybody … that Boris Johnson is a thorougly-responsible person…

Highjacking of authority from responsibility and accountability … is sooo complete, now…

How come people can’t see that?

Anyways, I meant not national-level competing ( in a different country ), I meant:

IF you find moneyarchy in the US to be bad, then why don’t you create an alternative-to-moneyarchy economy within the US??

You want socialism, or barbarism, or maybe you equate the 2 ( from your phrasing I can’t know which ), so, why don’t you form socialism-competing-against-moneyarchy in the US?

Why don’t you & all the believers-in-socialism create socialism in the US?

Is there some law that prevents socialist businesses from existing??

Is there some law that prevents socialist groups of businesses from existing??

The fact that there simply doesn’t seem to be ANY such competing-economy IS EVIDENCE that either it isn’t permitted by government, or that it isn’t permitted by the moneyarchy regime, or that the socialists, themselves, aren’t competent to do it, or all 3 of them, simultaneously.

DECADES everybody has had to be producing alternative-economies within the US, and … where are they?

I just realized that I’m including perspective that is required, and not common.

“Slicing Pie Handbook” is a book on startup equity-slicing.

Without understanding how equity needs to be properly distributed, and … ah, yes, “Founder’s Dilemmas” is also required … when people who aren’t responsible gain authority, you CANNOT make the business/system/regime work… the ones who gained authority without responsibility effectively highjack the enterprise, holding it hostage to their whims/demand/extortion, and … if the contract that is in-place permits them that authority, the enterprise may need to die…

Remap that to country, and corporations, instead of an individual company with persons, and the same highjacking happens, especially when financially-emplaced political-parties ( and, through them, their financial backers ) are the highjackers.

Responsibilityarchy is the real requirement, but it’ll never be tolerated by any incumbent political power, left or right.

Not responsible AND accountable? break them from authority, then.

Have you got any idea how long that kind of idealism would be allowed to live?

1 week, maybe?

Socialists have the same ability to create businesses as anybody else, so why haven’t they created socialist businesses, & multiplied the things until 20% of the businesses in the US are socialist operations??

even 5%??

There is something fundamentally wrong with what the evidence is showing, and its showing that that apparently can’t evolve…

Learned-helplessness produces both Nihilism & Sadism.

The Russian soldiers’ habit of making torture-chambers everywhere proves this.

Russian culture’s “fate regime” concept of relationship also proves this ( it proves the learned-helplessness aspect of it ).

( apparently that article explaining how in Russia, people entirely accept that fate, and nothing else, decides who marries who, is now … gone??

Neither DuckDuckGO nor google have it… )

Deterrent requires that both parties have aversion to destruction.

However, when 1 party has become nihilist, then they can assault the other as a means of baiting the other into sadistic-aggression, in order that all the neighbours commit to annihilating the one who was successfully baited into demonstrating genocidal sadism.

Israel won’t exist, in 10 years, no matter what, now.

NOTHING can make the Arab world accommodate its life, now.

Nothing.

The Christian Bible’s Matthew 24 had a prophecy that is about to become historical-fact, in the coming decade.

Here’s a decent version of it:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matt+24&version=AMPC

That bit around verses 15-20 is the pertinent area.

Simply wait 1 decade, and see: if Israel still exists, as a country, in 2033, I’ll eat a hat.

And it was entirely preventable, had there been enough committment to having neutral authorities in West Bank ( UN ), and NO political-dishonesty OR nationalist bullying permitted from either side…

Needless, politically-enforced & needless…

: \

Obviously, therefore, competing against the system of moneyarchy would be the only possible means of displacing its dominion on the world, so, …

… how come nobody’s doing it properly, or at-scale??

I’m talking about a competing economic-system, not competing against a few companies within moneyarchy’s regime.

: )
