Every national institution on the earth advances its perceived civilizational aims. Our current era is defined by the post-industrial West struggling to maintain world hegemony against the inevitably ascendent post-capitalist East. Neither of these two poles are welcoming to the philosophical dissident. Chinese totalitarianism is death to free thinking, especially political and religious expression. Western thought control follows an internal logic of moralized polarity and rigid adherence to surface analysis as taught in its decayed educational systems. This brings us to the question of where the philosophically dissident can convene to collaborate on difficult subjects that are unpopular to the reigning life-denying (i.e. thought-controlled) power structures of both superpowers.

Tradition refers to pre-modernity but implies perennial values which can be restored at any point in time (because they pertain to the nature of human beings in themselves). Tradition doesn’t refer to those things which haven’t changed but the essence of why certain things shouldn’t change. Traditional ideas are contrasted by its main competitor liberalism understood as a philosophical current.

Modernity is characterized by liberalism in economics, politics and philosophy. Liberalism politically means the liberation of the individual from any organic social ties. However it reaches its zenith in liberating the individual from the individual. In other words, by dividing the individual. The entity split into parts is the postmodern subject of liberalism. The result is that the parts (of the subject) come to be a slave to objects. This postmodern climax was original to the first breath of liberalism but simply takes time to reach its conclusion. Finally there now exists technology to bring the liberal vision into reality. Ultimately this means the ending of humanity through biodigital convergence where life is blended together with digital simulation, such is AI and robotics. Specifically, human life will first become governed by biodigital directives as human reason is replaced by artifical intelligence. Then human labour will disappear entirely being replaced by autonomous machines owned by a robotic elite of AI Capital. Any way you look at it human beings will play a subordinate role to supercomputer intelligence in the liberal future.

However a posthuman future is not guaranteed. Communist and Fascist political theories have failed to grow in sufficient political power to resist liberal globalization so the only alternative is a new political theory. This theory, Dugin argues, could grow organically based on any number of pre-modern models, such as Islam, or future post-modern hybrid constructions. He is writing a 28-volume anthology (Noomakhia) that covers every civilization on earth from its logos to its fourth political possibilities. The reason this is significant is because it fundamentally releases philosophy and mankind from the grip of the post-human future offered by liberal (in)dividualism.

It is important to note that Tradition refers to pre-modernity because that is where it was experienced and known previously. However its manifestation next will obviously be post-modern. It is therefore legitimate to think about what Post-Modern Traditionalism might look like. If we acknowledge Tradition as eternal truth inherent to human beings' (including in both senses as Dasein or absolute) way of understanding then we are obligated to be Traditionalists. The dispute comes when we question eternal truth itself, its contents or its method of discernment.

Post-Modern Traditionalism instead asks how to bring eternal truth into our own lives. It is therefore necessary to have previously clarified these truths. This is a challenge. Because there are two possibilities: 1) You stumble or arrived to eternal truth and accurately identified them as such (or later recognized them), 2) You take a leap of faith in assuming the existence of eternal truth without knowing the contents therein immediately. Whichever path is taken the task of embodying and practicing them is the same. Dugin refers to this blending of theory and practice, principle and manifestation, mentality and action, etc. as active metaphysics. It summons a common root beyond these dualities which is objectively non-modern. In other words, you don’t practice the theory because you have freely selected to it from your own volition (“I have decided to become Communist”). Instead, theory and practice should simultaneously emerge from some latent energies in the cultural unconscious as a unified expression of what you (a people) are. In other words, it doesn’t come about from analytic arguments about why this route is the most conscientious and beneficial for all parties. It is a spontaneous reaction that radiates from some deep core within the collective revealing its buried (pre-modern or post-modern) desires.

So one task is enabling this uncovering of modernity to take place in order to see how liberalism is a totalitarian nightmare leading to the end of the human race and then secondly peeling back its indoctrination so that the mind (which belongs to culture, language, race, metaphysical time, etc.) will need alternatives.

Postmodern Traditionalism in the age of AI

In my previous article https://stacker.news/items/455231 we discussed a little bit about everything, about the costs of production, utilities, etc but the 3 main lessons i wanted to clarify is that the world we are getting is a world where deflation will rule and we need to act according to it, let me explain the inevitable deflationary bomb of the times to come:

- Bitcoin is deflationary money and good money always drives bad away bad money.

- The costs of labour will go down close to zero or lets say zero for our mental models to work. 

- Ai will make mental labour obsolete and robotics will make manual labour obsolete, we are not at that point yet but our overlords want that so we better prepare physically and mentally for that.

- Energy is a big variable, if perovskites keep improving the price of solar energy will keep going down to become even more cheaper than fossil fuels but if they don´t become cheaper and our resources constrain become more apparent then in the next 10 years solar will probably follow a sigmoid curve in terms of prices because manufacturing them will be costly if we need a lot of silver and other metals that are getting more scarce as time goes on.   

- The costs of physical resources will remain, they may go down to zero if we start space mining but that will take a long time, probably way after we invent fusion.

- Utilities like trash collection and water ideally would become cheaper if energy prices fall, desalinating water would be possible if nuclear energy or solar was super developed but the first one was stopped by regulations and the second one time will tell.

but most likely our future timeline at least for the next 20 years will be like this, 

mental labour costs slashed to zero due to ai,
physical labour costs slashed to zero due to robotics,
 energy costs slashed to zero due to the invention of nuclear reactors that can keep fusion energy going or fission gets deregulated or promoted by the goverment,
physical resources getting more costly as we are having trouble finding more viable places to mine heck we might even mine antartica, 
water becomes more expensive because pollution. 

It sounds incredibly dystopian to live in a world where the elite no longer needs the peasants to work and everyone becomes a NEET, still things aren´t as bad as they look to be, if the world becomes deflationary it means savers stop getting punished by the printing of money, it means prices falling and the natural metagame of inflationary money gets punished for example zombie firms that need to borrow and borrow thrive with inflation but they feel punished with deflation,  the systems that need less energy to keep themselves alive will be the systems to thrive, giant organizations like the European union may not last the next century because as the big bureaucratic machine that they are, they really need a shit load of taxes to work but europe is rapidly becoming irrelevant to the rest of the world, china and india will be more relevant and the usa already dominates, not saying the same thing isn´t happening to the united states but its going slower. So lets explain why these giant organizations will not survive the next century,  lets go to one of our favorite books, we are talking about the sovereign individual, the book talks how nation states will need to fight for valuable citizens and their precious taxes so it seems inevitable that governments to work will have to downsize and work with the minimum amount of resources available, something like Milei where with his libertarian ideas is trying to make the slow and bloated argentinian state into a modern neoliberal state capable of competing in international markets. 

What we need to understand here is the paretto rule applys to everything, only a few onlyfans models get all the most money, a few writers get all the money, we even see the paretto rule in bitcoin where most people are broke and the base chain can only be used without problem with people who already have 0.4 bitcoin or 1 bitcoin, to escape neetdom you will have to get whale clients and you will have to become excelent at something like for example entertainment.

The future of NEETdom, thrive in the inevitable dystopia to come

@brainsters241's bio

good, i wrote my article, hope it gets some traction.

thanks!, the article is ready if people are interested i will write more.

i wrote an article if interested, took some days

The world will become deflationary in no time and its inevitable, while we are reaching the technological singularity in AI and robotics, in most other fields technology has stagnated. There are a few fields like robotics, bio-engineering and specially AI with room for improvement but a lot of the economy today is already monopolized by 1 or 2 companies in their respective fields, a few tech giants dominate the digital cyberspace. Standar oil and U.S steel were monopolies at some point but today the production of oil and steel is monopolized by state companies and other transnational companies, logistics is dominated by amazon and ali baba and so on...

 So tldr, the argument here is that when technology becomes stagnant and there are no new technological inventions that shake up a market, profits will tend to centralize on the few companies that manage to undercut the competition and produce at the marginal cost of production, so for example today, while we may think of the USA as a bastion for the pharmaceutical industry in reality china and india are undercutting the western companies in the production of generics, so when patents expire and the market is no longer artificially limited by goverments or patent laws these companies that focus on the production of generics will steal the market from the original company that produced the original active ingredient of a medicine, a big problem for the united is that china is already investing in a lot of R&D for new molecules so china may not only is taking the market of generics but also dominate the market of new medicines and the patent laws that benefited western countries in the past will hurt them in the future.

So lets deconstruct the costs of a product, lets say the costs of paracetamol:

To produce paracetamol, we need the raw materials, labor, energy, time, space and other utilities (water, the trash service company).

For example the manual processes to produce paracetamol, we could make it all manual labor and not use any machines because lets say we lack the capital to buy these expensive machines, we could use a person that manually breaks the raw materials with his own hands for 10 hours, 

or we could use a mill and do it in 1 hour, also a machine is sterile while humans have bacteria on them. 

Lets say we now crushed the raw material into a really fine powder in the order of mm, now we need to mix the different excipients of a drug like the active ingredient, the binder, the lubricant, sweeteners, etc. To do this we could tell a person to manually mix it for 5 hours, 

or we could use an industrial mixer and do it in 1 hour, 

Now to simplify the whole process, lets say our paracetamol is almost ready to sell but it still needs its characteristically disk shaped form, the next step would be to give a chisel to a person and mold the individual pill in a disk shaped form and do it for hundreds of pills, our worker would take hundreds of hours to do it but we could simply hire a lot of them thought it looks this would be expensive as fuck and i am not sure not even with child labor this be cheap enough to replace a machine. 

Or we could use a pastillator and do it in 1 hour, 

We still need to package it, we could use a person to manually package it and do it in 3 hours, 

or a Packaging machine and do it in half an hour not even an hour, 

So if we think about it, in the production of a product our labour costs can be divided into humans or machines, if we run out of oil humans will be cheaper. but lets say for the sake of the argument solar energy fully replaces fossil fuels then the costs of operating our machines become the costs of solar energy and if solar energy really becomes cheaper then energy will be cheap and using humans makes no sense compared to using the machines. 


So whats the end game of ai, because for the moment our machines are powerful but they are simply calculators, a pastillator, the packaging machine and the industrial mixer aren´t alive they are just a machine that need an operator to work (and this operator is a human) but imagine a machine that could operate all our machines or imagine if the machines themselves were alive or were some form of neural networks that could operate in themselves, in these cases once we manage to buy a self operating machine that doesn´t need external manipulation to work, humans no longer have a place in our factory.
The XIX and XXth century was the displacement of manual labour and the XXI century is the century for the displacement of mental labor in factories. 

While limits and singularities are a mathematical phenomenon they are not real in real life, nothing is faster than the speed of light, the plank constant limits how small you can go and if you go smaller you become a black hole and the costs of production cant go to zero but they can do actually become close to zero,


So what happens when we combine deflationary money, products that almost require zero costs of labour and also almost zero costs of energy (and we haven´t talked about constrains like government intervention, the fact raw materials like metals are getting more expensive because they are actually becoming scarce and we are hitting resource depletion, also our rivers are polluted and we need water for most industrial processes, the fact that who will consume if a large part of the population becomes unemployed[the great depression had a 20% unemployment rate, imagine the unemployment rate we will get with ai], spect my next article. Hope this article gets some satoshis, i have been reading a long time to write this, i haven´t even touched the fact what should a NEET today do.

Bitcoin, AI and deflation, the end-game of fiat based economics

devs

Does anyone here EXTENSIVELY use AI to help them write/debug code?

frostdragon

I have used ai for animations, basically i tell the AI to do basic movements but the problem is that its never consistent, i wonder if its possible to combine the turing architecture with polimorphic chips.

trying to collect satoshis, gota start from the very bottom

My goal is to write a guide that helps people survive and thrive in a world that every day is getting more complicated, NEETs, the energy crisis, inflation, automation, low middle class wage jobs and with a ruling class that wants to make life more complicated to the average my essays will help you understand your position in the world and how you can live a better and more fullfilling life.
