I just made plans to go to Corpus Christi and San Antonio for a week vacation with my girlfriend. I planned it for two days from now, which is obv standard for a high stakes balla like myself. It should be really fun, as this is the first vacation I have taken with my girlfriend of almost two years that was just the two of us. I'm really excited about it and so is she .
The next in the series of ramblings that led to my breakdown is entitled "God thoughts" and is probably really scattered and incoherent. I'd appreciate feedback to see if anyone is interested in hearing my thoughts on the world. If these are tl;dr (too long, didn't read), I can stop posting them or try to clean them up a bit and make them more focused. Some of the thoughts are incomplete, and I meant to go back to rethink some of my ideas.
I think I just had a revelation anarcho capitalism will likely eventually happen worldwide (assuming we never wipe all the species of the earth off). Over time governments with less restrictions will always grow more quickly than government with more restrictions in a worldwide scale. This will happen b/c the looser govt countries will always keep getting richer more quickly than stricter government countries. the stricter govt countries will continue to fail at a quicker and quicker rate. This happens because of (100s-1000s of years) cycles that consist of economic depression -> revolt -> overthrow government. Pretty much in our day and age dictatorships are on their way out and, IMO, don't really stand a great chance at becoming the overall worldwide government. So now we're basically in the process of getting rid of communists and that cycle will continue to happen over like a few thousand years until there's only countries that have about the level of control as the usa presently does (which, in reality, isn't too bad) and over the next few thousand years it'll get to the point that the whole world is like present-USA except a few libertarian countries and then another few thousand years would go by (all the while overthrowing communist and pseudo communist societies trying to spawn) and then eventually the libertarian countries will all win out and a few thousand years later it will all be libertarian countries except a few anarcho capitalist countries that spawn up (all the while new countries with the control that the usa presently has, are popping up,and the AC and libertarian countries are then overthrowing those usa-like countries) then it eventually becomes all AC and anytime any form of government springs up, AC crushes it. Is this a possible scenario for the future?
My fear is that what could turn out is something like China changed their economic policy so that they can get richer until the point where they have enough money and power that their form of government basically controls present day republics and then countries with governments like China decide to take out the USA and other republics since they're so crazy, and then world slowly becomes communist which then slowly gets closer to dictatorship until all the sudden we have a single dictatorship running the whole world and we almost turn into zombies because they give themselves so much control over every aspect of our lives.
I have a few big assumptions I'm making for predicting the human race will naturally evolve to an AC world, but I might be making a lot of big assumptions:
My biggest assumption I make is this:
Central planning of big elaborate systems necessarily functions best with a frictionless, voluntary, collaborative effort of greedy/capitalist (human) people. Basically any example you can come up with:
1. science (knowing many things about how the world works) vs religion (assuming some things about the world and believing in them based on central planning)
2. educated (aka well connected with society and collaborative efforts of making people happy ) vs ignorant (don't understand society or science or anything and live in a bubble)...educated people almost always live longer lives than ignorant people.
3. english/mandarin/other big languages vs no very minor languages - languages are starting to dominate and more and more people know english as a second language and it's starting to develop and eventually probably everyone will know english or some form of english because that's where the money is for now.
4. money vs poverty -> the world is getting richer and richer. Some countries that are really poor even receive free aid to help raise their standards of living slightly so they can become richer and live longer lives thus benefitting the richer again (but that's mutually beneficial and not predatory, remember). The other interesting thing about money and capitalism, is many human emotions (like envy, jealousy, greed often stems from money.
5. families of cooperation vs no families/gangs (which necessarily has central leadership), the more collaboration and less restriction that is used, the better it develops, and the less collaboration and more restriction that is used in it the less rapidly it develops.
Basicaly hated relationships & loving relationships
6. human music is a trick we play on ourselves to encourage our species communicate with eachother better -> know eachother better -> learn about eachother more -> communicate with eachother more
7. drugs vs no drugs (finding and using and learning about more and more drugs to help us be happier and more productive and collaborative throughout the day
8. happiness vs depression
9. free news about the world vs restricted news you don't know much about
Please allow me to illustrate this pattern in the computer industry, but I think you can use almost any industry and this will be true (or if it's not true for a particular industry now, it will be true in the future and the reasons should logically follow). The computer industry started where you basically had no choice for what you can do with it. It then develops to where the user of the computer has more and more choices and less and less restrictions. From then the software industry develops where the user can now make his own rules for how the computer can operate quite easily which then makes this person richer because 1. they can come up with more problems and get more solutions to figure things out. 2. be more connected with the world, and make more money (possibly by getting a better job because companies get paid a lot to 3. have more free time to learn and communicate with the world and have more and more incentive to acquire the skills that help the world on a global scale. We are now shifting to an era where everything in the computer industry that's winning is stuff that has been worked out together that is free or started out free. Open source programs are becoming more and more popular. It's gotten to the point where government agencies and schools are using openoffice, linux, etc.
Let me use the an example of the progression of the computer industry.
My other assumption is that money always wins out in situations of laws and regulations.
My other assumption is that the BIGGEST money only develops in places that have relatively small government.
For this next example, I'm going to describe "god" as all knowing, all blissful, all freedom,
Did you ever think that the universe as we know it is evolving into some sort of collaborative god or image of god and then we will be in heaven when we all think and operate the exact same way and all know exactly how to make eachother eternally happy? We are just trying to become like god is just some collective form or image of us
EVERY HUMAN EMOTION IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO WANTING MORE WEALTH (much of this comes from CHEAP COMMUNICATION)?
WE ARE BECOMING SLAVES TO OUR ROBOTS AND THE ROBOTS WILL TAKE OVER IF WE DON'T STOP THIS. WE NEED TO STOP THIS! Maybe not robots, but to an alternate sense of reality, ie. escapism?
DOES EVERYTHING THAT I THINK DO SAY AND NOW BELIEVE reflect that I've made MONEY and SELF-LOVE (aka species advancement) a God? Am I doing everything that I can to enslave myself to some false happiness of being apart from people? Am I trying to do this to others around me too? Is Christianity a false way to know the true God of happiness? Remember to observe happiness levels of "fundamentalists" vs "atheists". Do I only equate happiness with religion because I'm not as happy as I used to be? Who's happiest in general? Ignorance is bliss? Which is ignorance: trying to base your life around acquring wealth power fame or trying to base your life around god and ignorance of things of the earth? Money != ignorance? Or is happiness knowing everything and being like god or trying to turn.. Can organized religion be a false god? What are my priorities in life? What should they be? Pleasing God or pleasing one self? pleasing one self has more cooperation and works better because pleasing one self requires money and cooperation? Is this good or bad?
EXPLAIN how religion yields true happiness and how atheism fails to achieve that. Personal anecdotes appreciated. Have I made my own sense of happiness that revolves around serving a false god (money being that god)? Do I only like money because I think that brings happiness, when in reality, true happiness comes from other things? What brings true happiness? Something like eating animals good or bad? Based on values of happiness for selfish gains or happiness for others?
"Happy people are far more focused on the little victories and miracles than the problems," < http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NAH/is_6_33/ai_106224764 > - note source CNN...can you trust a capitalist (god = money) group or not? Does smarter with self preservation mean smarter with happiness? Should one strive for happiness? What do Christians ultimately want? To serve something that doesn't harm other parts of the earth and make his earth last longer b/c we are the bacteria and people that "help the earth" are good bacteria. There's such a thing as good bacteria and bad bacteria? Is good bacteria for us in reality the devil's bacteria?
Does everything I think just try to lead me into a path of self destruction (likewise with everything else)? Is that good or bad? Anything that makes humans last longer is just a growing bacteria aka serving the devil (money?) Am I just thinking this because this train of thought leads to being suicidal? That I can never know god and realize I am the bacteria of earth and i'm killing his creation? once anyone is dead they become one with him? What does religion ultimately want someone to do? Remember now, I'm equating religion with dictatorship almost and equating money/capitalism with evolution. Is a species ultimate purpose to advance the species? Remember to read the selfish gene and hear critiques about it from smart christians if it applies. Is everything I do trying to warp people to be slaves to money and if money is ultimately more powerful because it represents self improvement, is that good or bad? Does it represent self improvement? What do other species ultimately strive for? Bettering other species? Could most modern religions be wrong and everyone in the past 1900-2000 years or so be living in some sort of saddam and gomorrah or something where we have made money our god and we should ultimate be striving for non sodom and gomorrah? Should we give in to happiness or is all forms of happiness false happiness that we've created in our minds to alienate us from some other power. What about calvinism that shows that their is truth in god in most of the world. Is god the bacteria that is evolved into humans and the earth is actually the devil. Any advancement in the human race helps understand how we can defeath earth and the universe (which in reality is hell)? Organized religion holds us back by not giving human self happiness to pillage the earth which is hell? What is the overall goal of any species? Science yields money, but the reason science makes sense to me is because I worship species preservation a concept of science? If science has some unexplained thoughts, does that mean we are just creating an infinite set of laws that will never be able to explain itself because there are some fundamental problems with the way we view things in a science mindset? Scientific method is manmade and maybe that's a tool of the devil? How can you do good on this earth when almost all of it revolves around brainwashing you to not "do good"? Well, is "doing good" trying to know the earth or trying to believe in a religion? Can politics and religion be forms of the devil and the bible be a tool of the real devil? AC brings most wealth which actually helps the most humans be the most wealthy and free to do what they want and live the longest. does god want us to live long healthy happy lives or short painful lives? Who is making these happiness statistics I'm clinging too? Tool of devil? So many different religions now...which one is the one that ultimately is the best? Do I want what's best for the universe or worse for the universe? Do I want what's best for humans or what's best for the universe? What do atheists generally pick from the two? What do religious folk generally pick? Why do I want these things? Why do religious people want these things? Why do atheists want these things? Maybe money has taken over my sense of what people would choose or are messing with my assumptions of if anything I've said has any relevance. Maybe we're building heaven on earth by destroying it? Maybe we're building heaven on earth by becoming completely self sustaining without damaging the earth anymore? Once we understand the world and eachother better, is immortality possible (think hundreds of thousands to millions of years possibly even hunderends of millions of years from now) will we evolve into some species that joins into one and knows a ton about god because of things like finding dna and understanding his creation better and seeing him through creation? Anything that helps us see creation better helps us ultimately see god better in the long term?
Are we just a part of macro co evolution (note: look this up more) and we're not quite the right species to get into heaven but we are starting to understand and capitalist deregulation people that live longer are understand more about the earth and how to exploit it b/c they try to make the species last longer more on the right way?
->Everything humans do tries to advance the human race in the best way that humans know how. if this is true, does that mean we are all doomed to not please "god" or is god just a manmade creation to try and advance the species because species advance the most when they have ties with eachother and anarcho ($ ties) is the best way to not hurt the species b/c it's the least likely way that people go to war if everybody relies on cooperation? After all, who would hurt one of their own? Is personal happiness and well being the most important things in life? What do other people say?
Should we be allowed to kill other people to better the human race? Should we be allowed to take away equal rights between two people to better the human race (prisons etc)? Where is the line of freedoms that are "required" and who is requiring?
Maybe money is a temporary evil that is for the greater good?
Here's a take on competition:
Then I draw out responses from the audience. Some pick the silver medal winner. Some pick the bronze. Occasionally someone chooses the coach or even the audience. One participant recently shouted out, "The sponsors!"
The correct answer is that the bronze medal winner tends to be happier than the silver medal winner, according to research conducted in 1995. When I ask the audience why they think this might be, they always understand the answer. The silver medal winner can taste the gold she missed. She is thinking, "No, no, no. I missed."
-> "Meanwhile, the bronze medal winner is clinging for dear life to his medal as if it was the edge of a cliff overlooking the abyss of nobodyhood. He is thinking, "Oh thank God I made it. I almost missed out on a medal, but at least I'm an Olympic medalist." This is the secret of happiness "
