The point is that GDP grows by consumption not
by production: the fact that all the politics - economists are
concentrated on helping industries and corporations and the work -
production part of the economic equation reveals not only an old fashion
18th century hard work - production mentality that hasn't been really
oeprating anymore for decades, but also the naive idea that more
production and work and competition will make economies grow: nothing
further from the truth, actually it is the exact opposite, more leisure
time and free time and consumption will make economies grow infinitely
faster and more than any new technology or innovation or research or
competition and so forth: that is why we need beaches wll orgainxe, the
paradox is that the more Non Work, the more Leisure will help protect
and increase that very little real work that is still necessary for a
service economy.
And a Technological Economy needs more work like
a hole in the head, it needs leisure, well organized and comfortable
beaches, and so forth.

this justifies the "Scientific Program" of designing new Brains and
Minds having any possible interaction set with any possible outside
environment created for it, any possible pain/pleasure circuits and so
forth (the true evolution of technology, "Technology Achieved",
technology on steroids, as only the pain/pleasure circuits count in the
end and technology is only a means to achieve more pleasure than pain,
etc.), this justifies the fact that reality is just an event, a point
like event that can be emerged within any Interaction Set and
Information Set and Experience Set, since the "event" is only ever all
reality and truth, independent of any laws used to navigate it, nay, the
laws can be invented, can be any at all, hence science is truly
arbitrary as it pertains to only one set of interaction laws set up by
Natural Evolution with respect to this quirky, random chemical set
called Man.
In fact technology is at
the end of the line, progress is over, we won't be discovering or
creating new fangled things anymore like Electricity or Computers of Jet
Planes and so forth. New Smart Phones containing old hat functions like
phones and cameras and the internet just won't cut it anymore. At most
we can replicate millions of models, produce a huge number of items of
the same time, increase distribution and production of the old things we
already have (fill the third world with cars and computers and
skyscrapers and so forth), but we can't really invent any really new
things anymore, we are at the end of the line now. We can make trillions
of old things (what we should do anyways, we need huge increase of
consumption and production of all kinds of things and remember that
consumption is way more difficult to achieve than production, producing
is easy, consuming is hard because people are still too used to the
Resource Scarcity Mentality (not like the USA, the only real consmuer
society), and all the economists and politicians think that GDP grows by
helping corporations and production and competition and companies when
in all truth, GDP grows mostly when you hike up consumption hugely,
consumption should be the name of the game and more money in people's
hands, not companies and production and so forth, consumption is
infinitely more important than production and much harder to produce
since it depends on people's culture and mind and hesitation to buy and
waste like crazy, what we really need!) trillions of skyscrapers and
rockets to planets and TVs and computers and so forth, mostly trillions
of examples and permutations of mostly old ideas and concepts, but
nothing really radically new like the Jet Plane was, or the Rocket to
the Moon was, or the Automobile was and so forth.
In fact, you
can really feel the desperation of our civilization that can't really go
forward anymore (let alone all the political - social - economic
problems that will forever be intractable and without any solutions
because the Man Brain is simply a fighting against each other machine
having will power machine and so forth), boredom, not knowing what new
exciting thing to invent and so forth, what new possible market can be
created, the constant chant for Innovation and Startups and Research and
so forth hoping to gain something and so forth.
But the only
real way forward now is to proudly and boldly and bluntly modify the Man
Brain, the Observing Contraption on the top of our body, the Skull
contents, stick in chips and new designs, make the new brains do all
kinds of incredible new things, technology on steroids, technology
achieved, modify the Mind and Brain in infinitely new ways, create
trillions of new universes, all other past inventions and novelties will
seem so tiny and worth so little compared to this.
But it is as
if our Civilization is simply hesitating, waiting to make the jump,
waiting and hestitating and afraid to finally plunge into the real
future: the
FUTURE OF WILDLY NEW BRAINS,
MODIFIED BRAINS AND NEW SENSE ORGANS AND EMOTION STATES AND
CONTRAPTIONS AND LOGIC AND FREE PHYSICS AND SO FORTH, THE FUTURE WHERE
ALL OF THE PAST DISAPPEARS IN A JIFFY SINCE ALL THE RULES OF THE GAME
CHANGE 100 %, THE PLUNGE INTO NEW UNIVERSES AND EXPERIENCE SETS AND
INTERACTION SETS AND INFORMATION RELATIONSHIPS, ETC.So
keep on waiting and hestitating civilization, keep on playing puny games
with old products and inventions, keep on devising new smart phones
with other cameras and old hat things instead of doing what must be
done: stick jet engines in the skull and mind, stick wild symbols and
circuits in brains, change the brains in infinitely new varieties and
types, do it man, you can do it, first gear - its all right, second gear
- hang on tight, third gear you're out of sight.
Then again,
even this theory and ideology may be a desperate attempt to keep on
producing an imaginary progress when progress is mostly terminated in
that modifying brains and minds will simply lead up pain and death since
biological contraptions are so complex and intractable that it cannot
be done: remember the three body problem can't be solved even with
supercomputers executing a trillion operations a second...
