it is time that we stop merely pushing for the redistribution of other people's wealth because none of this will help ensure that those who are wealthy do what they should be doing in society.
It should not be about punishing those for making money but rather into shaming people who have wealth into giving it into beneficial uses.
We need to ensure that those who are wealthy create a system that promotes the advancement of anyone who wants to try and achieve.
That promotes study in education and relearning and doing more and rewards people for doing that
We need to start thinking about how to make the people we see as elites as those who do the most.
Those who give their time and their effort to building the world whether that is building a corporation that builds things that people need or whether it is politicians who work relentlessly for the jobs they promise to give or it is philanthropists who sit there patronisingly art and developing culture

We are in a world of technology where the cost of accessing education and being able to become part of the global economy is diminishing exponentially.
Because of this, once we have a true micro payment system and the ability to integrate people globally and pay them instantly the entire nature of how people earn money will change

The greatest threat to the environment is not related to climate change. The greatest threat is human induced and it is not what people consider.
The most pressing threat that we can experience and tthat will cause the majority of problems in the future is related to economics andd growth and development and it is not due to limiting these but aas we arenot growing fast enough as we try and slow down the economy.
The best way to ensure that conservation is an issue as the have wealthier populations
As the slowdowns occur within the West and leave people in poverty not only in Western countries but also Third World countries will find more and more problems
Not because of carbon but because of the lack of available capital
It is not population that is our problem, population iss the solution if we have an educated population
this is key
An education, a liberal arts Western education is needed to ensure that people have a wide range of knowledge not only in science but in philosophy and history and related topics
Until that happens, the environment is fucked.
Deforestation is a REAL issue.
The desification of land is a problem
Overfishing is an issue (note, this links to the tradgedy of the commons).
changing the terminology does not change the underlying problem and this post-modern crap but it does and thatt suddenly all the problems are solved because people aren't offended is complete bullshit

Financial innovation and for thatt matter the democratisation of finance when not used in the scammy fraudulent manner that most people use it has nothing to do with building a system for transferring millions of dollars.

The majority of people don't have millions of dollars
The majority of people own less than $10,000 after-tax every year.
Even taking only the West, most people don't make $100,000 a year after-tax
So, the reality is that a financial innovation for the majority of people is something that needs to provide cash based payment services at low rates.
It is a system that can transfer small amounts of money and by smaller men under ten US dollars globally without the fees cutting away at the value and destroying it
It is a system that will allow individuals to buy and sell and access and immediately use a payment system and then if it's volatile to exchange it immediately for the local currency.
So, someone working remotely in the US could transfer in seconds from an exchange any US money that they have with low fees to bitcoin which is then transferred in seconds to a person and say the Philippines who can then transfer this back into local currency if they need to all in under thirty minutes from end to end across both sides of thhe world.
That is what people care about because most of the people on earth are not billionaires.
That is what innovation is about
We already have the form of innovation that gives us flying cars. helicopters have been available for the rich for a very long time and these are effectively flying cars.
The innovation that we are talking about is not a financial innovation for the rich because the rich have all of this. The rich have charge cards. The rich have the ability to transfer money globally at low cost.
It is not innovation to find ways of allowing people to money-laundering or buy drugs engage in people smuuggling arms deals... That is just crime
The innovation is not allowing which companies and rich individuals to bypass taxes
Innovation is a system that records all of the activities of those with money and wealth so that they are in the system and pay their fair financial dues and hence don't need to be over taxed and leave the region
Innovation is a system that allows people earnning under two dollars a day to be able to send money back and forwards to their family

Innovation is a financial system allows a woman who was working remotely to send money back as remittances directly to her family as she wills.
Not monthly to her husband who was not working and who drinks - but to her children to pay school fees and even directly to do that even though she is remote, to be able to remotely pay for a meal for her children, to be able to remotely item a pencil for their schoolwork and nothing more, to be able to pay for a food bill and to ensure that it is food and that you have seen what is being purchased.
These are all things that caannot be done right now and these are things that bitcoin can solve.
That is financial innovation
That is what is truly democratising finance.
Exchanges, bucket shops I should say and shonky gambling deals and ways of enabling people to buy drugs are not methods of democratising finance other than the scammy way that people say this

You will hear about decentralised autonomous organisations (DAO) in the Ethereum world all the time. Some individuals seek even to create what they argue is a form of DAO. MakerDao is one such example [1]. The token released by this organisation is run through what they consider to be decentralised and autonomous because the owners of a governance token manage it. The owners of this token can vote on changes to how the system runs.
I would like you to think about this for a moment.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dai_(cryptocurrency)
The argument is that firstly it is decentralised. If it is a decentralised system, then that means that it is widely distributed is meaningless. Facebook and Google both issued shares under an IPO or initial public offering. The shares trade publicly. The shares of Facebook and Google are the means of providing governance across these organisations. A small group of shareholders with a large number of shares meet and dictate terms, which is no different from how something like a DAO functions. The only difference here is that Facebook and Google have restrictions on their shares. The argument being posited by a DAO is that they should be allowed to operate without any KYC. That is no your customer requirement, and hence that they can breach AML requirements.

A general Artificial Intelligence would STILL need to test its hypothesis.
These take time.
Hence, no speed up in Intelligence
So, no singularity
My theory is that the neocortex makees a model of the rest of the brain.
In effect, the part off us that we see is us whicch has language is also a predictive model of what the rest of oour brain will be doing andd hennce whhy it's not allways ccorreect and why there is a lag
