Joe Rogan: “Just imagine how much less crime there would be if no one was ever starving, no one was ever desperate, no one was ever worried about where their next meal was gonna come from or whether or not they’re gonna have a roof over their head. What if there’s no more poverty? We could’ve already done that. But you would have to get all those rich people that are in charge of industry and running corporations and in government to agree to make the world a better place for everybody”
Government has the wrong incentives. At a certain point we have to look at open source projects and think about the contributors incentives to make better projects.
Why can't government be more like open source? Government is closed source.
It's impossible to be closed source but incentivized to serve the public good. If you really wanted a thriving society, you would open source the entire government. It would be far cheaper, transparent, and far more efficient.
Why not? Because of the lust for power that comes with those careers. It's human nature, and we can't escape that unless we start over, you know, like in a start up city!
@peerbase_ These old systems with a monopoly on force have one major weekness- corrupt money. All the money and power in the world simply cannot compete with open, transparent, decentralized and free!
When their system inevitably collapsed, a new system will already be in place.
@peerbase_ Decentralized systems are inevitable. All of the money and power in the world simply cannot compete with open, decentralized, transparent, and free!
I was a witness in a criminal case. I noticed the DA, the Defense and the Judge we all using AI. Why do we not yet have an AI judicial system? Everyone states their case, the AI asks more questions, evaluates evidence, and makes a verdict. Cut out the middle man!
Most governments still run on institutions designed before the internet. A system designed today could use AI to personalize services and automate routine cases, blockchains to make public money and rule execution auditable, and digital identity to reuse verified information across services.
@Decentralizd84 I've built hundreds of websites in my life, never called myself a webmaster. But I stayed away from software, learning more languages seemed overwhelming. Now, I don't build any websites, and have built 15 software projects in the last 6 months. Accelerated 🚀
@BrianRoemmele I remember teachers telling me "you can't use a calculator because you won't always have a calculator in your pocket in life". It's the same argument.
China has developed a new laser mosquito-killing system that uses radar to locate mosquitoes flying in the air, then uses lasers to shoot them down. The system can quickly eliminate mosquitoes in an area through a physical method.
A drone-focused version is expected to be launched soon.
@dr_ericberg Kombucha is much better for you than you explain. It has dozens of organic acids, B12, and some probiotics. If your Kombucha is sugary, you are not drinking real kombucha. Sugar is the fuel of the fermentation, and is consumed during the fermentation process.
