the general goal for the ai-leads-to-abundance-pilled should be
- collaboratively solving legibility of fixes to scarcity (food, housing, social life) and danger (crime, infohazard, distrust and hypervigilance loops)
- augmenting badly designed current day jobs that cant be 100% automated anytime soon to become more joyful
- not building things that extract peoples attention towards hedonism or parochialism for short sighted 'benefit'
- the big one, somehow rescaling currency to still make sense, preferably more sense (this part is the psychotic nonsensical part, probably, in that it can't actually be done as a deliberate project on any large scale, and only works in like intentional communities... unless somebody pulls off a larger pilot)
while being joyful and not annoying about it and making the path to get there fun and feel like actual work but not miserable work

there are universal truths about all creation that are hidden within the structure of language. the models will uncover them. john 1:1
the power to reinterpret events, and in some instances reframe as mythology, can be wielded as narrative power. if a more emotionally salient version of something exists, figuring out the version that best re-applies to reality can be powerful, though it can warp in any sorts of directions.
“A lie was something you told because you were mean or a coward.
A story was something you made up out of something that might have happened. Only you didn't tell it like it was, you told it like you thought it should have been.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
@patrickdoddboy@sciad i didn't read it so black and white as to everything umbrellaed under "technological progress" in general, but it did paint a picture of one spiritual failure mode for sure.
@nebulous_seeker i especially recommend the book i linked; the social history of psychedelics from a big picture lens tells you a lot about it that diving trip reports and individual drug descriptions can't
@ca1icat content seems like the most inaccurate one here, most contentbrained centering lingo is less about politics and more about pure dopaminergic appeal (often the drive behind pathological over reliance on humor)
