Interesting project, , no/ yes?
Information is the ProblemInformation
creates the problem and problems by its very existence, by being
implanted in your head you are forced to find solutions, or to think in
terms of solutions, starting points and targets, targets failed,
solutions not achieved, problems not solved and so forth, this
aggravates you, this creates a feeling of failure since you can't solve
the problems and there are trillions of problems just as much as there
is information, the "oil is running out" (is it even true ?), the
"global warming" (true /false?) and all of the debates, fights amongst
people, all of the work and effort your mind must perform to figure out
the problems, to debate, like so many lawyers, everyone protecting their
position, their point of view, the point of view becomes more important
than what it is worth and then yourself (all points of views are
meaningless and worthless in the long run), people embrace their
ideology and the way they want to solve the "problems", so many,
"education is a failure" (what on earth does that even mean ? compared
to what ? education "to do what" or for "who" or to go where ? totally
illogical!) and unemployment is too high and so forth, a never ending
stream, the muslims, the wars, the crap that happens 20 thousand miles
away (but who gives 2 c*cks and a d*ck! it doesn't affect me, or even if
it does, I can't do anything about anything at all anyways), not only
are the problems intractable, but the solutions are also, and the power
mechanisms and political mechanisms necessary to achieve the solutions
(by new laws ? by what ?) are also intractable, impossible to follow,
get all lost in a foggy haze and so forth and so on.
And
information already creates the work for you in your mind as it is
compared, debated already internally, compared, figured out, logically
connected to other things (even if unconsciously) and so on, and you get
another problem you are forced to think about, and all information, all
news, all new items and events and situations create a never ending
stream of hard and impossible problems to think about, to constantly
fail to solve, and even the personal ones, especially the personal ones,
the boss got mad at work, the son misbehaved (or the son can't find a
job and so forth), an infinite array of problems, thoughts, impossible
to solve, all intractable, all a failure, we are always just a failure
waiting to occur, since even if you solved all the problems you ever had
for you and everyone for 50 years, there will come that day that just
that one bit information, that one small problem will cancel 50 years of
success, a flat tire on a country road and you are lost forever and
such.
And information is the problem and more information is the
solution and no information is the problem and no information is the
solution and you try out all the combinations.
We live in an
Excess Capacity Economic System, too many people have way too much time
on their hands to generate and talk about information and problems
worldwide, the Technological Economy has created a huge amount of Free
Wealth for all simply through Technology and Networks (Electricity and
Transportation and Energy networks especially, more so than the
Information networks) so we are left simply to fight each other: Imagine
what could be performed and created if all of those millions of idle
people where to be really used and employed in manufacturing, in home
building, in building cars and all of the basic needs: in ONE YEAR you
could create enough homes, cars, roads whatever for 10 billion people
once and for all and you wouldn't even have to work at all for decades
in the future: imagine if we could really apply all the technology we
have really in an optimized manner, we could solve almost all of our
problems once and for all in just one year.
But millions
worldwide are used in offices to create a never ending stream of
artificial problems that are created and solved, everyone creating
complexity for everyone else, just to then solve the complexity and so
forth, like what happened in Software: we had all of the best possible
programming languages available in software (before the Object oriented
Craze that was used to create fake problems, create complexity and let
thousands of people waste a huge amount of effort and time towards
solving problems that were solved long ago and that could easily be
solved in well written structured programs in Pascal or Basic (modern
versions would be Perl and Awk) or such) but it would have been too easy
to solve all of the software problems 20 years ago, too many idle
people and too few programmers would be needed, so they had to create
complexity and a mess to allow other thousands of new programmers
"work", since the myth was that there would be all of this "new work
available in software", when the very nature of software and goal of
software is to eliminate as much work as possible, and that is what it
is doing anyways, no matter how many impediments (always political,
power struggle interdictions, office politics interdictions, changing
standards, contrasting products, non standard products created on
purpose to create work, ever more fake work for fake problems created
with the intention of holding back technology more than anything else)
and roadblocks are put in its way.
But the economic system is so
productive that it must create interdictions, impediments, it must choke
the potential productivity it could achieve, since that productivity
would destroy structurally all inequality, all of the excuses for
inequality, it would destroy the entire concept of work and labor, etc.
it would put the Man Brain in a completely new psychological situation
where all of the old rules are worthless, it would be a communism
achieved without any revolution or communism but by shear inertia of the
Technological Economy really expressing itself. We are left with very
little real work that could achieve wealth for all (building cars,
skyscrapers, homes, jet planes and so forth) and left to play with blogs
and facebook and IPHONES, a method to repress the huge productive
capacity of our modern Technological Economy: let them talk forever and
generate a never ending stream of information across the internet they
will be occupied and happy.
And you get the Resource Scarcity
Myth and Tree Hugger Thugs, Environmentalist Thughs inventing all kinds
of problems and excuses to not do anything, to not build anything, to
not build all of the High Speed Trains in California and across the USA,
to not build trillions of skyscrapers all across the USA, and rockets
to mars and trillions of Nuclear Energy Plants and so forth and so on.
But
we need the fight to give meaning to money and to work, we need to
force others to do what others want, the status, the power struggles,
etc.
And all of this talk of Worldwide Economic Growth is going
to crash: how can China keep on building homes when no one there can
afford them, and no one can buy the furniture needed to furnish them
(also applies to a lot of USA, EU and JAPAN today)? they think they can
export their way out, and they think they can keep on selling 10
million cars a year when they are not designed like the USA, the USA is
the only country that can really achieve a high level of Consumerism and
growth because there is Room, large homes, two car garages, large
roads, places to put the cars, the malls, the homes for all of your crap
and so forth, no other country has this, the Chinese must create huge
suburbs with huge houses that cost very little, huge roads all over the
place and cars and then finally they can keep on growing, etc. (not even
to mention puny Europe and South America, they would have to tear down
all of those puny environments they have and start all over again with
huge American Styles suburbs to start really growing, etc. instead they
want to ride bicycles, what c*cks, they are going backwards instead of
forward, what fairies, etc.).
