    Games? Interesting. Let me think a bit….
    Playing games in my era was probably quite a bit different from the past twenty years where ‘everybody’s doing it’. And overdoing it.
    I think about games as a hobby that helped me think about AI, which helped me think about systems.
    What I expect you and others don’t understand is (a) it was a smaller pouplation that could and did play games (b) I could work easily 14-16 hours a day endlessly. (c) and I was using gaming to ‘cool down’ from work. (d) and gaming was how I thought about AI development.
    I built a lot of electronics including two primitive computers when I was young.
    I played DnD in college when it first came out, and had up to 30 players for over two years. I think it’s how I learned to manage people.
    I designed an adventure game in college in PL/I that ran on IBM360s that they tried to ban because it was using up so much student lab time. It was interesting because I had to build a random number generator because it didn’t have one.
    When just out of college, I designed and wrote games in the early 80s for Tandy’ Color Computer. Including custom graphics and fonts. In Assembly language. (Which I still love)
    After my first serious illness, I did AI research work starting with simulations and that’s when I understood the hardware problem wasn’t solvable with code.
    After I sold a company, I tried to get id Software to license us Quake2 for an add on pack but failed.
    I played Counter Strike competitively – but a long time ago. You can even still find two of the levels I made for it online:
    de-ignorance
    https://t.co/dDpS8LHVnq (major extension)
    cs-knifeedge
    https://t.co/gMHDj48hD8 (afghanistan)

    I would come home from work and use games to ‘switch off’ the autism (change context).
    Gaming was fun from the 80s, and especially when the quake era led to so much innovation, then through to about Skyrim in 2010, and I don’t think much of it after that.
    I gave up games entirely when I gave up running big companies. Because I didn’t need to shut down the autism any longer, and it was a vast sinkhole for time. Some people drink, some smoke, I played a game for an hour or two. After it came out, mostly CS and little else.
    It’s also not obvious to most men what the dopamine depletion does to you. That wasn’t a problem with text and moves-per-round games. But with the advent of real time and hot-response gaming it basically functions as an addiction.

    I approach everything I do in life as a science experiment. And I wasn’t really conscious of how much so until the past few years. So games, software, companies, economies, legal systems, polities, and langauges, logics, epistemology? They’re all the same thing to me: a simulation. A game.

    Now, real life humans in politics are the game I play. πŸ˜‰
    That’s the ‘great game’. πŸ˜‰

    if you don’t game, then buy Mac. Mac with an old copy of Office for Mac. Anything good is available on Mac. OSX? It’s case insensitive Unix under that superb UI. Best OS by far. No bloat. Won’t crash. Great UI. Flawless hardware. Available refurbished.

    Myself, I gave up on MSFT in about 2008, partly because I spent too much time with that company and its people, and I wanted a clean slate.

    So we have to choose between supporting an expensive woke apple, and a cheap broken microsoft. πŸ˜‰ Today I don’t own anything but Macs. But then I gave up gaming in about 2010 as a poor use of my time.

    I have and can ‘fix’ a mac pro (box), or a macbook pro. But it turns out that it’s just too cheap to pay someone to do it for me. Especially when I still have a mac pro from 2008 and a macbook pro 17″ from 2010 that work perfectly.

    My only real complaint I have about macs is that I would like the battery to be pluggable and user-relplacable instead of glued down. And I wish it both had more ports and it was easier to replace the ports – especially microphone. Otherwise memory and drive are easy to replace yourself. everything else is just the mainboard or the screen or the keyboard. Unfortunately, the keyboard is a nightmare, and you’re better off buying the top case and keyboard and replacing that. So that’s the big ‘hole’ in Mac self repair.

    IMO the only thing really stopping Apple Macs from going after MSFT, now that Silicon is so much better than Intel, and gaming and AI are on the table, is (a) A Better Excel (b) the willingless to bear the costs of biz sector support (c) and providing a replacement for enterprise security.
    I’ll stick with my long standing prediction that the if the iphone market that funds Apple contracts, that’s when they’ll go afer the market that is the SMB and then gradually take over the MB and Enterprise.

    Not that Nadella will sit and let it happen… πŸ˜‰

    Look. I just do the science. And I do the science rigorously.
    So don’t blame me for the truth that we all want to deny.
    If you thought they railed against galileo and darwin, against spencer and nietzche. If you thought they railed against western civilization, with their new ‘narrative’ and ‘social construction’ the uncomfortable truth I’m laying out there is going to be so far worse than those before me.
    But if that’s what it takes to save civilization then that’s what it takes. Because the cost of continuing to ignore the truth is far more dear than any of us should be willing to pay.

    PREDICTIONS OF COLLAPSE IN 24 and 28 ARE MORE THAN POSSIBLE.
    (The Fix Is Easy If You Accept The Truth)

    RE: –“a big possibility of no election in ’24. Then an Authoritarian regime from ’28. A complete repudiation of democracies and republics by 2032”– Martin Armstrong’s Socrates Program

    Martin Armstrong (@strongeconomics) is a good systematizing thinker, a skeptic, perhaps a pessimist, and among those of us with a history of successful predictions, he is about as good as any.

    I am not sure that the outcome he predicts will be the complete repudiation of Western rule of law government, but that majority democracies are done, and representative republics are done, and it is possible many federal bureaucracies are done. And that without state competition between bureaucracies creating a market for competency, any central bureaucracy can survive other than perhaps military, intel, and state, and of course, treasury and court of dispute resolution between the states.

    The problem, which is relatively clear upon doing the work, is merely women’s entry into education, academy, workplace, and polity without demonstrating competency of truth before face regardless of cost, and the preservation of sovereignty and reciprocity at any cost most of all. The problem is women. So, is that a reason to throw out what we have learned from the Rule of Law?

    Any deciding body is a jury. The jury(thang, senate) must be large enough that it cannot be bribed, and unable itself to issue bribes. Both of these are solvable problems.

    Any members of the jury may differ in near-term means, but not on long-term ends, and not in the rules by which we agree on some set of terms to bring about those long-term ends. The problem is, as we have always know, the composition of the jury, must consist of those loyalty to the strategy of the polity – which is not the case. It matters by class, but it matters more so by sex, and it is disastrous between cultures and civilizations – (and demographics too different to come to consensus).

    If we are to say that natural law, common law, concurrent legislation, constitution, monarchy, cabinet, and direct or economic democracy (jury) that only assents or dissents, and of course, the court, then this is entirely possible to fix without catastrophic consequences.

    We can then prohibit women, or set criteria for women, or give women a house, and we can prohibit the female method of sedition and warfare against responsibility for self, truth before face(self), and duty before self, and prohibit any false religions like the Marxist sequence from being sold like any other fraud.

    But recognizing the problem is really just women, and as is now, was in Monarchies, was in Rome, and was in Sparta.

    That is the hurdle to overcome.
    The data says men act responsibly.
    At least Western men do.
    The data says non-western men, and Western women always and everywhere act irresponsibly, As such without demonstration of responsibility, duty, and loyalty, we cannot allow them in the academy, office, bureaucracy, or court. And likely the military, emergency services, and critical care.

    Don’t blame me for the truth. I just do the science. I don’t have to like the answers. But that’s the answer. And it’s really that simple. The belief that (most) women were instinctually unfit for the franchise was true. The surprise, at least to me, is that (most) women are unfit for education and academy, because they cannot bear the truth, and are causing disaster in our economy by their dumbing down of organizations and their competitiveness is something I would never have expected. Their destruction of dating, mating, marriage, and reproduction has been catastrophic. And their hyperconsumption of all civilizational accumulated capital is the worst humanity has seen.

    Cheers

    The US is discussed in the literature as the MOST western of the western countries. Most embodying the western tradition.

    The US is a bit different from the rest of the anglosphere, but we treat the UK as a partner and equal in everything we do strategically. The Five Eyes are the extension of that traditional trust and ‘special relationship’ between us.

    And you should probably research whom you speak to about anything libertarian. And you have a crayon level understanding of anything if you make such claims about the constitution.

    I respond much better to questions than I do to false assertions and especially those framed as accusations.

    No.

    The terms “republic” and “democracy” are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct historical and theoretical meanings. Both are forms of government where the power resides in the people, but they differ in how that power is exercised and organized. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

    Republic
    1. Representative Governance: In a republic, citizens elect representatives who make decisions on their behalf. The elected officials are accountable to the people and must govern according to existing constitutional law that limits the government’s power over citizens.

    2. Constitutional Framework: Republics often have a constitution that outlines the powers and limitations of the government, providing a stable legal framework.

    3. Rule of Law: A republic places a strong emphasis on the rule of law and often includes a judicial system that is empowered to interpret the law.

    4. Checks and Balances: Republics usually have multiple branches of government (e.g., executive, legislative, judicial) with distinct powers and responsibilities, designed to prevent any single entity from gaining too much power.

    5. Indirect Democracy: While a republic is democratic in nature, it is an indirect form of democracy. Citizens have the power to elect their representatives, but they do not govern directly.

    6. Protection of Minority Rights: Republics often have mechanisms to protect the rights of minorities against the tyranny of the majority.

    Democracy
    1. Popular Rule: In a democracy, the power to make decisions lies directly with the people rather than being mediated through elected representatives.

    2. Direct Participation: In its purest form, known as direct democracy, all citizens participate in decision-making directly rather than through elected representatives.

    3. Majority Rule: Decisions in a democracy are generally made by majority vote, either directly or through elected representatives.

    4. Flexibility: Democracies can be more flexible than republics because they don’t necessarily have a formal constitution that limits the powers of the government.

    5. Simpler Structure: Democracies often have fewer governing bodies or branches, making the system less complex but potentially more susceptible to the tyranny of the majority.

    Key Difference
    Majority vs. Minority Rights: Democracies often operate on majority rule, while republics have mechanisms to protect minority rights.

    See?
    Why is it that I should have to explain these subjects to an ignorant and ideological population day after day? Because you are easily manipulated – because only about ten percent of the population can or does think. And of them the majority are male. And they usually do not include men that I am forced to educate in self defense against their ignorance.

  • THE NECESSITY AND PERPETUITY OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND WHY IT CANNOT AND WILL

    THE NECESSITY AND PERPETUITY OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND WHY IT CANNOT AND WILL NEVER CHANGE
    Just to educate you out of your ignorance. By design and for the good of all we live in a concurrent majority constitution and government, not majority constitution and government. We do not live in a democracy but a republic under concurrency and commonality. And the reason you don’t know this is that you were intentionally indoctrinated so that in your ignorance you would assist in undermining it.

    The Science of The American Constitution:

    1. NATURAL LAW: (sovereignty, reciprocity, duty, tort)
    The Institution of the Natural Law
    1. The constitution, bill of rights, declaration, federalist papers, Blackstone’s commentaries, and history of the common law, the common germanic law, and the ancestral european law (west indo european)

    2. COMMONALITY: Across classes and regions in what not to do. Empiricism in discovery of prohibitions.
    The institutions of commonality:
    2. The hierarchy of courts

    3. CONCURRENCY: ACROSS CLASSES AND REGIONS in what we should do, and not a majority independent of classes and regions (tyranny of the majority). Empiricism in the discovery of agreements on the production of commons.
    The Institutions of Concurrency
    3.1. The House(proxy for the people) for concurrency in the population
    3.2. The Senate(proxy for governor) for concurrency in the states.
    3.3. The Electoral College for Concurrency of the states in the selection of the president (proxy for nobility)

    This system was designed to give the people as whole and the governors individually on behalf of the states, and the jury of the electoral college on behalf of that governor and that state, to ensure that there was the maximum competition and maxium commonality across every faction in order to continue the common law tradition that we may impose nothing that is not decided first by commonality or concurrency. In other words, the people, in regions and classes must agree.

    This entire system was designed specifically to PREVENT the horrors you seek to spread in your ignorance and arrogance.

    Sincerely

  • Why not? The concept I’m working to popularize is that we were going thru a pred

    Why not? The concept I’m working to popularize is that we were going thru a predictable transition by moving classes of humans into literacy, economy, and politics – and we are unprepared for the introgression of women who unlike the classes and nations of men, practice an entirely different set of antisocial behaviors, and who conduct war by very different means.

    The Jews used this method of behavior and warfare since their very early formation but in response to the sequence of Egyptian, Persian, european conquests, they developed a fascinating formalization and synthesis of the female empathizing strategy using male systematizing strategy in the Abrahamic-Marxist sequence. In other words the vast European innovations in truth by reason, empiricism, and science (testimony) – and advancements in physical warfare, were matched by Jewish innovations in sedition, mythicism, and theology – advancements in social warfare.

    Now my work is innovative in a number of ways but my work in the human logic of lying and sex differences in cognition manifesting as those sex differences in lying is one of the more powerful innovations in explanatory power. Think of my work in this field as explaining all communication as a sequence of logics just as arithmetic, math, algebra, geometry, calculus and analysis are a subset of that sequence. And as such we have a table of the evolution of grammars ( logics ) for the spectrum of communication that performs the explanation of the structure and function of language just as the periodic table does for chemistry, or the standard model for physics.

    So by providing us all with this bit of science culminating in a logic of truth and lying, and especially the sex differences, we can observe how to equally suppress the feminine means of warfare and criminality that plagues us today and has caused the failure of every one of the small number of polities that have been able to enfranchise women, including ours, which includes Sparta, Rome and the postwar West. But is rapidly destroying every advanced first world nation.

    The purpose of my work is the reduction of conflict and the fostering of cooperation across groups of all classes, sexes and nations, by prohibiting irreciprocity, and limiting us to truthful reciprocal exchange, so that we continue to prosper in as much peace as possible.

    Even if it means we must often look in the mirror – and women now too, if they wish to participate must also limit themselves to the same – despite they evolved for emotional impulsivity instead of reason, selfishness, hyperconsumption, attention gluttony, seduction, parasitism, and irresponsibility for the commons that exposes us all to risk. Unless with three or more children at which point they are forced into creating self regulation, discipline, regularity, cooperation, and responsibility among their children to survive the burden – just as men do the same with adults in the polity. The sexes divide the labor of regulating the spectrum of ages. And irresponsible men and women are a hazard to us all.

    As such single women and childless women are the sole reason for the leftward migration if our western polities. For without their votes, no present crisis would exist.

    And it is the fault of men who have tolerated women’s destruction of civilization from within by their unregulated instincts both historical, Christian, enlightenment , and postwar that has so far failed to correct these women despite the rapidity of the accumulation of damage in the postwar period.

    The problem is fixable by advancing our law to prohibit the female means of antisocial and anti political warfare, or by the less appealing removal of women from the franchise.

    But we are far more the product of our genes and culture than we are the independent agents we presume. And less aware of what we do as the biological robots we have discovered we are – and must compensate for with rules and institutions that limit our behavior.
