Makers vs Takers
A democracy of Takers votes for more taking till the Makers can't support the Takers.
Its an old problem.

Game theory rules all games. If the maker to taker ratio isn't kept in positive balance by culture, then civilization extinction is nearly certain.
Only civilizations built on makers can survive beyond conquering everyone available to take from, be it by weapons or socialism.
That is why there is no Dyson Swarms. Warlords and socialists.
Tribal warlords and civilizations destroyed by taker parasites are likely abundant in the universe.
Democracy doesn't work and must always fail and revert to low tech tribalism when the taker ratio gets too high as they vote to make taking easier and easier and attract the majority to taking, and the makers can't support them anymore.
A breakaway maker civilization is the only possible course to sustainable abundance.
Probably a charter city to begin with but as it would get insanely rich the takers would attack for certain.
Game theory rules all games. This game terminates.

@danfaggella Hominids without goals bigger than themselves have on average less than 2 offspring when offspring are no longer old age insurance.
Only makers have bigger goals. Taker culture is self terminating.

@r0ck3t23 Turning makers into takers is the systems primary job.

@RT_com This type of military infrastructure centralization is the perfect ask to be a nuclear target of the future.
Centralization always looks stronger than it is.

PhD in your name is such a mid wit cope.
Cancer *is* a parasitic life form derived from you own tissue. Its transcriptomics have high ancestral expression as it becomes a mass forming independent life form with many parasitic metabolic features which anti-parasitic drugs target with efficacy.
That's why John Hopkins recently patented polymorph C of Mebendazole for crossing the brain blood barrier to treat brain tumors. Is that fake?..
You are such a bullshitting mid wit with a PhD.
Cope harder.

@TFL1728 A democracy of Takers always works best when opposing ideas are outright banned.
Makers build nations, not steal them.

@HarrisChri99199 @PeterLBrandt Having conviction is not really a premise of good investment.
Shit the world really needs is a decent investment premise, but even then being wrong is always in the mix.

@Crowded_Mkt_Rpt @PeterLBrandt OMG, a trader who actually owns bitcoin here. I thought only kids dreamed of god candles.

[David O @OzDiglife]

@tradertheory Nothing more scary than someone who just says when they are wrong with zero concern.

[David O @OzDiglife]

lol. Fair point, but there *are* other versions that mainstream physics won't allow air time because they didn't think of them and get funded.
Nassim Haramein is a scientist who predicted the actual measured proton radius with a different theoretical approach. He is shut out of mainstream academia.
There is no "the science". Its just humans, prone to bullshitting and making sure their own needs are being met first.
He has mathematics that has explanations that don't need dark energy or dark matter and also don't do cartwheels to avoid singularities.

@triggerpod @Billbrowder Comments are dark on the honesty of the guest.
Bypassing what was happening in Ukraine in the 10 years leading up to the war *seems* dishonest..

[David O @OzDiglife]

@ChartGuys Great scouting! Longer big swing moves on both look probable from my set up. Rocky slope ahead but 50% plus looks possible for both if broader market holds up.

[David O @OzDiglife]

The old maker vs taker game huh. Takers targeting makers.
Takers don't like it when makers are doing things that makes making easier for everyone.
This attracts takers to the makers side.
Takers rely on makers, so once there aren't enough makers and too many takers, the game collapses.
Moral of the story:
Educate people to be makers, or the game collapse.

[David O @OzDiglife]

Nice game theory.
'The maker vs taker democratic race to the bottom'
The only way to play it is somehow educate/enculturate the population such that the probability of being a maker easily exceeds 50%
Currently I would reckon its about 20% makers. Sad.
The education system has been taken over by the takers.
The "maker education" revolution seems not to exist.

[David O @OzDiglife]

Good convo. Unfortunately he still doesn't seem to appreciate that sound risk management is a far better strategy over time than defensive bear positioning as a way of life. I tried it, and it sucked.
Being right is not the premise of trading. Human choices govern market dynamics and humans are rarely right.
Totally different tool kit.

[David O @OzDiglife]

@ClareONeilMP Socialism always backfires economically.
When it does mid-wits like you blame rich people and avoid facing the broken socialist incentive structures they built.
It then gets worse - rinse and repeat.

@PaulineHansonOz Proof of Uni-party.
It was a hidden seam.

[David O @OzDiglife]

Two things: 1) the assumption that you are looking at emergence and not ingression is just an assumption.
2) cooperative strategies must dominate complex competitive environments for 2 reasons: 1 - higher level configs on anything require cooperation to form. 2 - higher level configs have more 'space' of actions that can function in competition and so have higher stability that less complex units.
Ratchets are not zero sum.
Systems with many natural configurations and dynamic behaviour are the perfect ground for the ingression of abstract motivational "agents" if you will.
Another way to say it is "Behavior happens where it can"
Its a different but very testable view of systems.

@BretWeinstein I like this game theory.
Its an inevitable exploit and all exploits inevitably get used.
"Whats the chance of an assassination attempt on person X tomorrow?"
If the odds look great, make a bet and have the deed done.
So many versions.
Gamefying society is a very dark trajectory.
