After the Revolution [Original Post, ~February 2024]
[renamed from New World Order]
Alright, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the new world order after the revolution. I kinda want to give suggestions, but my understanding of executive culture is that you are not supposed to admit when I am correct about anything, which unfortunately means that you cannot solve problems when I point them out.
I did want to point out one thing that occurred to me though. When you pay someone a salary, they have an incentive to go slower, because the same task done more slowly causes them to be paid more for the task. When you do not pay someone any salary at all, however, they have an incentive to go faster otherwise they will be evicted.
I just want a nice office like they got at the Google headquarters, with a good team, and I am willing to go super slow on any task. Though honestly I'm increasingly feeling like I want to choose all the tasks myself and they should be for fun.
Well some things it would be difficult to go extremely slow because I will want the thing itself, and sometimes it will be unethical to go slow. But yeah other than that I want lots of time to sit on the couch and smoke weed.
Also can I possibly have three girlfriends? I am afraid of seeming a bit selfish, but I am thinking that we will be like a family and do stuff together, and if it was only two girlfriends we could not easily play tennis.
In fact I am pretty sure my own subconscious specifically told me to ask for three girlfriends. I am not sure why but I am supposed to ask for three.
And they must be biological women since these would be potential sexual partners. However I do enjoy the idea of also doing engineering work with them.
Alright maybe this is strange content for LinkedIn but I am kind of losing my mind here in my apartment watching the news and realizing how the world works.
Like do we have some kind of holy war going on that's part of the subconscious world that is just now becoming apparent? Why are the US and Israel purposefully starting a war?
Apparently the west is an evil warmongering place that has been tormenting the middle east probably for religious reasons or for oil, and somehow I thought it was just a difficult problem and everyone was trying their best to solve it.
The politicians from the west are going to the middle east just to keep the politicians there under their control, rather than trying to solve anything
When engineers go slow to save their job, the product comes out later or is more expensive. When politicians go slow to save their job, they drop bombs and create society-wide problems on purpose.
The entire middle east is treated as a military playground for US politicians so they can power move innocent people and be aroused by that feeling
The US has never tried any strategy in the middle east other than violence.
They are so focused on themselves that they go around saying they are the greatest country in the world, all the time, without quite realizing that in fact that's technically an insult to the rest of us and we can hear them say it.
Anyway I am hoping there are Americans who actually just agree with me rather than being offended.
Alright the greatest country thing is not that bad, I do not actually care.
I think there will be a reckoning after this. I suspect those US dollars will probably not be able to be printed endlessly anymore by the US federal government. That will be a pretty significant shift in the world power dynamic.
I think the key question is the level of automation. If the means of production is mostly automated, that means all the workers are just wasting their time and the true cost of most goods is actually near zero. And so yeah you could just print money endlessly without prices going up since you can manufacture any amount for free.
Whether or not the economy has reached some point like this, I have no idea. It depends on what percentage of the population is people pretending to work.
Certainly I wish the US would aim that money hose at something else besides military spending. Like I seriously need to pay my rent, and so do many, many other people.
And if you are one of those people pretending to work, I do not know what to tell you except I hope you feel really bad and I hope you want to find some way that I and others in my situation can avoid being evicted. You are getting paid to do nothing after all.
And my situation is that my employer believes they laid me off. I have been saying to people that they did not do it correctly and so it didn't count, which is possibly true so I have to keep saying that for legal reasons. Maybe they would reverse it and give me back pay if they changed their mind.
I have in fact been working on stuff somewhat related to RapidSilicon. I bought a whole bunch of Arria 10s for projects. I want to use them to process sensor data from antennas. And also make an Xbox 360 emulator.
I hope my comments about the attempted layoff situation with RapidSilicon do not count as speaking badly of a previous employer. I still like them I just wish I was receiving some income. And I think they really did not do it exactly correctly.
