- continuing discursive inferences based on the below set of inferences:
• since an operator can effectuate most valuable thoughts
• anything below a certain abstraction are actionable thoughts
• anything about a certain abstraction gets into the territory of philosophical
• the edge between philosophical and operation is an interesting juncture
• it likely is the point where the future is tilted toward various states (on axes of values)
there’s been multiple ways to describe the separation of “what is” and “what should be”
Hume’s Guillotine desribes this is-ought separation
this has been debated (though somewhat meanderingly) by jordan peterson and sam harris
the issue with debates amongst thinkers and non operators
is the practical experience of tilting the state of the world is less immediately visceral
one distinction between neural nets and physical world
that is not widely understood
is that there’s not actually a clear distinction
for example if an LLM says to a human over a phone to move the cup in front of them
and the human moves the cup
the “gap space”
between hardware/software/energy/bits has traversed beyond into the “physical realm”
of course this becomes much more clear once neural nets have more “bodily limbs” via robotics
the issue arises here where memes and values
will more directly affect physical state
with the rise of AIs that can direct humans
and the rise of robots that can change physical state
scarcity is a function of input m.e.a.t costs
if u calculate the flowthrough costs for many things, a majority is often the cost of humans
when humans are removed from the cost side of equation (for example if more robots gather raw materials and resources and convert them into purchaseable goods)
the cost of goods enter drastic deflation
however Baumol’s cost disease shows otherwise so far
for more highly regulated industries like healthcare, real estate, and education
this generally points
to a world where changes of physical state occurs much faster
where the time distance from thought-desire to actuality happens more quickly, unless there’s another parties’ counteracting thought-desire
simply put, if someone wants something they will likely be able to get it more quickly, unless someone else somehow does not want it to occur (cancel culture)
another factor will be increasing leisure time for more and more people
an inflation-immune way of looking at costs is “time cost” of everything
how much “time cost” did it take to make and get a banana, a fridge, etc
without the benefits of comparative advantages of currency exchange for free market produced goods and services?
time cost will continue to go down with automation and AI
leisure time will go up
tribal jockeying for what happens is physical state will occur
much of this is will not be settled via bodily warfare (physical harm)
and move upstream to financial, economic, and reputational “attacking”
this includes taxes, tariffs, namecalling, which could affect reputation which could affect future flow of funds (economics)
there’s the idea that economics is the study of the “territory”
which is the current state of account balances
and finance is the study of the “map”
which is how the flow of funds will move in the future from account to account
discounted cash flows are simply projections brought to today, for how much future flow of funds will accrue to a given account (company or other)
