JeffreysTubes8 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Okay here’s what we should do if we want to live longer lives. First of all, we already have the the tech to make hospitals obsolete it’s called nanites. Immortal Jellyfish and Salamanders have better genes than us and it just takes a few molecular injections to fix our most pressing problems (& no doing what jellyfish genes do won’t turn us into jellyfish but it will prevent aging). Warp drives are a piece of cake. I’ve figured them out, and although stable fusion ain’t happening with warp drives we can get a few thousand miles from the surface of the sun on batteries from earth surface launch before the batteries run out, we’ve seen ufos in the Nimitz encounter using them, & although stable fusion isn’t ever possible without the mass of the sun compressing it constantly you can eat off the mantle of the entire earth to build rings within a few thousand miles of the sun and convert 20% of the suns total output into antimatter. Tegmark says every 10^33 meters there’s a doppleganger of every human with exact same history, so with unlimited warp and antimatter you can just go there somewhere beyond the particle horizon. By the time you’ve sent a spacecraft you’re receiving two from another two sources, they can send two canisters at about the time you send one canister of AM to the other earth, using 1/3 AM you can receive 20% more AM than you had before. Within expenditures. This exceeds a type 3 in that you have infinite energy without starlight and you have infinite computing power to simulate and watch events around or relating to you before they even happen. Otherwise we can listen to fiat and run out of fossil fuels from dead Jurassic forests and not be able to drive anywhere and await a supernova stuck like a duck who’s crap outta luck.

JeffreysTubes8 Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 beyond housing 70 trillion people freely the thing doubles up as a particle accelerator that can make enough antimatter to survive the last stars turning into inert neutronium remnants. Better than a type 3. yet we’re still stuck on the dilemma of the weight increase of adding enough rocket fuel to make it past the flinging out of material too close to the suns spinning axis, with a Nimitz like ufo that uses antimatter it’s so simple and that’s my sales pitch because if I know one thing it’s physics.

JeffreysTubes8 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Resource Based Economy Vs. Capitalism The late Jacque Fresco, prolific futurist, designer, and author of Looking Forward, once wrote, "[I]f you find that our economic, political and social ways of doing things sometimes create more difficulties than they solve, [...] then you are simply suffering through the present transitional phase of our civilization" (12). Capitalism allows us many luxuries; however, a resource-based economy could offer solutions to issues inherent in capitalist systems, such as wealth inequality and the over-consumption of resources. The United States should implement a resource-based economy, which would offer a higher standard of living for the majority of the population, would provide better resource management, and would be more sustainable in the long run than a capitalist society. As first proposed by Jacque Fresco, a resource-based economy is a social model in which goods and services are not based on money. Instead, the manufacturing, automation, and production of said goods is cataloged by computers and are therefore accounted for and provided freely amongst the people of the resource-based economy. The automated cataloging of resources offers several advantages over the fiat regulation of goods and services within capitalist society; for one, it does not allow one corporation or monopoly to get ahead of the majority of businesses in the same market, allowing for greater equality among an entire group as opposed to benefitting only one small part of it as there is no big business choking out smaller businesses. Another area in which the majority of people can benefit from a resource-based economy is that it discourages dishonest practices, such as businesses that promote scarcity in order to boost market demand and increase price of service. The hallmark feature of a resource-based economy is that it employs everyone in the same process of self-service by replacing independent contracting for government-run production; this is how a resource-based economy offers a better standard of living for the majority of any urban population.

JeffreysTubes8 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Another important feature of a resource-based economy, and how this feature relates to being better equipped for resource management than capitalism, is that strong evidence exists that the natural resources available to society will be used in a more responsible and efficient manner than in a capitalist society. This is because in a resource-based economy, supply and demand has to be backed by the natural resources that are most available at the time. As stated earlier, resources needed for any given population and production plant are calculated and each available resource cataloged via computer, and this virtual list is the primary basis for how that city’s industrial complex will operate. Furthermore, in a resource-based economy, no service or method of extraction of natural resources can be held secret, or discretely, in order to protect trade secrets, as is the case in all capitalist societies, because every facet of production is government-regulated and not business-owned. When the need for money is removed, all patented technology and methods are utilized by one singular entity (the government) so that only the best or most useful known methods available would be utilized in a resource-based economy. One of the most advantageous qualities that a resource based economy brings to society is that managerial decisions are made by the experts in the field, not the CEOs or the heads of corporations, who are not necessarily qualified for making technical decisions in a practical sense. CEOs who may not have the safest interests for their workers at heart, putting profits over safety, often make dangerous bottom-line decisions. One example of such dangerous bottom-line CEO decisions lead to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010, which cost the lives of many workers. The resource-based economy would ensure that experts in the field would make the big decisions, as experts have the most experience on what works and doesn’t work in their respective area of expertise, such as the manager who oversaw day-to-day operations on the Deepwater Horizon as opposed to the CEO, who is more business-oriented. Authors Cope, e al, report, “In the context of a technological disaster that negatively affects the natural resource base such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, we expect that community residents who rely more heavily on natural resources to earn their livelihood will be more likely to exhibit negative reactions to institutional and governmental actors in terms of distrust and blame than those who are not so reliant on the natural resource base” (300). This quote illustrates the divide between local workers and the company that employs them, and highlights the necessity for better management of worker-based resources which are offered by a resource-based economy. One last feature a resource-based economy possesses in order to improve upon current capitalist pitfalls is sustainability. Business- and corporate-run facilities are often toxic to the environment; air pollution produced by automobiles, industrial plants, and the burning of garbage, oil, and coal continues to rise. These toxic chemicals have been linked to many diseases, the decay of roofs and stone buildings due to acid erosion, and the contamination of rivers and lakes surrounding urban sprawls. In ecological models of resource-based economies, such as the Venus Project, it is the goal of the new systems in place not only to pursue other, less harmful, means of production, but also to help heal the environment by using cleaner means by maintaining a dynamic balance between all natural and man-made processes. One example of how the Venus Project proposes to use an admixture of natural and manmade processes is by using hydropower instead of fossil fuels. Hydropower is fueled by water, making it a clean source of energy. Unlike fossil fuels, hydropower does not destroy water during the production of electricity. Hydropower is the only renewable source of energy that can replace the electricity production of fossil fuels while satisfying growing energy needs. Another example of how the Venus Project proposes to reduce fossil fuel emissions is by using electric-powered vehicles. All-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles typically produce lower tailpipe emissions than conventional vehicles do. In the Journal of International Affairs, Cohen emphasizes, “Even without environmental destruction such as ecosystem damage and climate change, renewable energy is clearly the next phase of human technological evolution. Shifting the world onto a low-carbon path could eventually benefit the economy by $2.5 trillion a year. Just as we went from human-pulled carts to animal labor and from animals to fossil fuels, the next step is electric vehicles powered by renewable energy stored in high-tech batteries” (113). The use of hydropower and electric-hybrid vehicles are some examples of how resource-based economies could be more sustainable than capitalist-run societies. Communism was proposed before the first World War, and since then technology and sciences have changed dramatically. These changes allow a less hostile transition into the similar overall goals that communism and a resource-based economy might share, for a resource-based economy than those utilized by communist parties in the past. More importantly, in a resource-based economy, more of an emphasis on utilizing the planet’s resources in the wisest ways possible to create access to all goods and services, not just based on needs, but on individual desires as well. In essence, the key difference between the resource-based economy and communism is that the resource-based economy tries to stay within the reasonable capabilities of our resources and production methods. The United States should implement a resource-based economy, which would offer a higher standard of living for the majority of the population, would provide better resource management and would be more sustainable in the long run than a capitalist society. Overall, in a resource-based economy, the automated cataloging of resources offers several advantages over the fiat regulation of goods and services within capitalist society, natural resources available to society will be used in a more responsible and efficient manner than in a capitalist society, and the goal to pursue other, less harmful means of production, but also to help heal the environment offers a better alternative to capitalism. I encourage well-educated and experienced workers to join ventures into the production of resource-based economies, such as the Venus Project, for the betterment of society.

Looking Forward. A.S. Barnes and Co., 1969. The practice of assigning a duh bigguh numbah or duh smalluh numbuh to things randomly doesn't actually do any work, and is unhelpful because the thing is there or can be extracted the same with or without a big stupid number value. In simple terms, money is only used to be able to allow one person to say f_ck you to another and have full protection over it because of assigned numbers. This money thing is a way of dealing with strangers which takes away the application of essential social analysis or moral practices.

JeffreysTubes8 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) People can run around playing make believe priority games, that's never going to change and this is the cards we are dealt. Now, in a world where we didn't spend our own money on our own things in order to achieve actual resource accounting, it is not just a simple question of math equations. Oil for instance comes from compounds permeating compounds, we can recreate these natural processes and transmutate other similar chemicals to make more oil supplies in the event that we run out of natural oil. We can do this with alloys too for my Niven Ring when stripping the earth's crust. The dark energy drives can be solar powered to get to the sun, we can have a supply chain running from the earth's crust to earth's orbit through a space ramp. The time to switch to a non-monetary non-capitalized corporate free automated system is now, that they are building prototypes of structures like the space ramp such as the Tokyo Tower of Babel.

JeffreysTubes8 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 (edited) This is the kind of public speaker Kontrol needs I can be that, I need to work on my public speaking but beyond that is I'm probably the only one who actually knows the physics behind the quantum world that does not adhere to nonlocality, for instance hawking adhered to the quantum interpretation. https://www.scienceforums.com/topic/38131-historical-codex/ https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/126709-smbhs-predate-the-first-stars-why-is-that/?tab=comments#replyForm My work is extensive and with new physics comes new technology and something like this would happen: Technologies can be corporate, they actually are scared of the military industrial complex because they could in theory take over government, but undisclosed knowledge in a single citizen in the private sector, ie me, can offer and therefore hold such a military industrial complex at his mercy so that through resilience and unpredictable the world can't be run by a military or a church or a government, but by this single citizen's corporation in time soon long as that he remains unpredictable and efficient to be accurate and credible enough to hack leverage and milk everything for what it's worth. https://www.scienceforums.com/topic/39923-the-warp/ Edited January 12 by JeffreysTubes8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
