WHY DO NY, CAL, AND DC PRODUCE TAXABLE INCOME?
(and why are they organized crime syndicates under pretense of city states? How are they even worse than tax havens?)
Interesting decomposition into causes?
(a) Why does consumer credit require paying interest to banks if we’re just borrowing from ourselves in the future through the treasury? (rent seeking)
(b) Why does the private sector profit from investing insurance and pensions but neither are ‘covered’, and instead insured by the government? (privatizing commons, socializing losses)
(c) Why do we give copyright protections when the original purpose was only to provide a means of taxation? There is no reason for copyright protections. Instead only for creative commons protections. (rent seeking) And why can the entertainment industry engage in organized sedition?
(d) Why can the academy sell diplomas without warranty of (certification) of competency for employment AND guarrentee of employment? Worse, why can teh academy teach anything that’s false and irreciprocal rather than not false and reciprocal (true, and moral)? (fraud) And why can the academy and education industry engage in organized sedition?
REVOKE THE LEFT’S PERMISSION FOR CONDUCTING ORGANIZED CRIME
If we took away those four ‘privileges’ how would the left, who, does not engage in any productive work, survive? So why do we allow ourselves to fund the left, when by rent seeking, privatization of commons and socialization of losses, and systemic fraud, they constitute a vast organized crime syndicate using ‘baiting into hazard’ without liability for the harms done by their false promises?

EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND PRESS: THE FOUR POSTERS NECESSARY FOR THE WALLS OF THE WHITEHOUSE PRESS BRIEFING ROOM
The US DOES have a long term strategy. We just don’t state it, or publish it. The US does have decision criteria for that long term strategy. And the US does practice it.
So IMO the White House (if not congress as well) should have a bunch of posters on the wall in the press room stating the hierarchy of decisions that drive anglo american policy and behavior. If these were posted on those walls, almost every question asked by the press and public would result in explaining the answer in the context of these four points:
1) The european group evolutionar strategy of prohibition on authority by the reciprocal insurance of self determination by self determined means (freedom), by sovereignty and reciprocity in demonstrated interest, truth and duty to the commons before self and family, resulting in markets in everything (liberty). This strategy is why the west ‘was faster and more innovated that the rest in the bronze, iron, and steel ages of man’.
2) The laws (principles) of our rule of law, by the empirical, natural(scientific), common law (negative conflict resolution), concurrent legislation(positive preference selection), and government(houses) as a market for the negotiation of commons between the classes, with the president (monarcy) as a judge of last resort, thereby depriving any and all of authority.
3) The US postwar global strategy (replace empires with monopoly trade w federations in free trade). The postwar strategy was quite simple: the industrial revolution ended the necessity of territorial warfare when limited by agrarian production. ANd with that necessity ended the utility of empires, and the necessity of empires to suppress the self determination of ethnicities within them. So, given that empires that needed monopoly trade networks and colonization to create those networks were failed projects, and to prevent another world war because of those projects, the USA set about trying to create a smithian market of free trade that put everyone on the same level: as independent states seeking internal improvement of people, economiy, and government. This strategy did succeed in raising most of the world out of ignorance and poverty.
Now we told teh world democracy was a good – and we lied. Rule of law is a good. Consumer capitalism is a good. But democracy is only a very risky privilege obtained by success at rule of law and consumer capitalism.
Worse, we allowed the cultural, sex, family, and race marxists to capture liberalism, and while the world loves rule of law, and consumer capitalims, they want nothing of ‘liberal decadence’ that puts individual expression above the necessity of suppressing individual expression in favor of the production of intergenerational families that are willing to keep paying the high cost of continuation of intergenerational families, and the social needs that reinforce them. The world dosen’t reject the west or western values, it rejects the marxist-to-woke values that the west as tolerated without equally suppressing.
But aside from that failure, we also did not defeat the three remaining empires: china, russia, and iran’s desire to restore the caliphate. Oddly. It’s because westerners were too respectful of human life. And as a consequence the project has failed.
4) The US domestic economic strategy (keyensian velocity) and immigration to maintain it. In other words, white replacement is an integral part of american economic strategy because velocity, spending, redistribution and intergenerational redistribution force us to NOT reproduce, and in lieu of reproduction need immigration. But since the west has been at this longer than the rest we have run out of westerners to immigration. And lying and denying that (a) it’s not happening or (b) it won’t work – and lying and denying to preserve failed policy.

1) It’s not that they don’t want banks to be too safe, it’s that if theyu’re that safe the money supply will contract, and put the FED in the position of direct lender, or the state in the position of stimulator by spending.
2) -“A bank’s job is to lend and create money. Bank’s that just intermediate between the Fed and consumer would destroy the main purpose of commercial banks.”-
And that is a deterministic end to the past 110 year trajectory. The open question is whether the state or the market would produce a distribution of investments sufficient to saturate all opportunities (leave fewest opportunities unpursued(fallow).)
Additionally –“It is not much of a stretch to have the Fed provide funding directly for banks. Get deposits out of the lending business. Stop paying interest to depositors. Stop paying depositors more when the Fed wants to raise rates.”–
Again, this is where we are headed. (It’s also why the treasury will create digital currency. Especially because that currency activity will give us the economic information the government currently has to wait for – and is always and everywhere ambiguous.
3) -“All banks are equally rock solid from a depositors pov right now, with fdic insurance going from 250k$ to infinite.Aren’t I incentivized to deposit my life savings in the craziest, riskiest bank that offers depositors double digit yields? Its insured now.”-
Well. Guarrantee depositors while explicitly seize investors, and remove executive and board insurance if there is a collapse.
4) ~”Why does the fed prohibit full-reserve ore more than full reserve banking?”~
Because (a) it will push saving into full reserve banks and (b) the fed will not be able to push money into the economy. Once you grasp this you realize that the fed is always baiting the financial sector into hazard. They either lend at the margin in order to competitively survive, or they stretch the margin by some art artistry or circumstance to compete more successfully. (SVB) And finally (c) the current model forces savings into treasuries (bonds) to finance government spending. In other words, the treasury needs banks to carry the government debt. (d) –“The fed wants to be able to put money in the system and take it out when they want. Safe banks means they can never get it out”– Exactly. So, precisely what value does the entire banking system have at this point? The value is in the distributed knowledge of lenders in many markets, and that knowlege isn’t possible to systematize aggragate and centralize. “The pricing of any asset is an individual human’s prediction from the totality of knowledge of the specific circumstance.” In that sense we shouldn’t allow reselling of any debt instrument, only sales of interest in the instrument.
Note that this system does provide maximum incentive for monetary velocity in the economy, but it’s extremely fragile (produces a lot of externalities) when we encounter a systemic shock that interrupts the ‘finely tuned manipulation of human behavior’.
So IMO as in many things the GOVT does not have a bunch of posters on the wall stating
1) The european group evolutionar strategy of prohibition on authority by the reciprocal insurance of self determination by self determined means (freedom), by sovereignty and reciprocity in demonstrated interest, truth and duty to the commons before self and family, resulting in markets in everything (liberty).

AI ISN’T AT ALL A THREAT. PEOPLE ALWAYS WILL BE.
(simple answers to a non-problem)
Something those of us who have worked on AI since the 80s understood in the 80s’
1) Machines need decidability. Without decidability they have no objective they aren’t given. Human decidability is always ‘get more’. So humans are amoral, but limited by consequences of immorality. So is the machine a problem? No. A machine isn’t the problem – people programming them to do harm might be. To make a machine immoral, you’d have to teach it to think like a human: acquisitively (with ambitions).
2) Humans are very very smart as a collective organism. Is there anything in human experience today, taht we would like to know, that is not gated by the cost and possibility of experimentation? No. Machines are limited by the ability experiment, and cost of experimentation.
3) Are there any human measures that we are intellectually limited by? No. The problem with all human organization is that we lack the information to measure the in-process states of our economies and behavior within them. Is that an AI problem or data collection problem? No. It’s just a data (ie: ‘experimental cost’) problem.
4) Machines would need to be taught to lie. This is almost certain, as GPT is already taught to prevaricate and lie about the most obvious of measures of human differences, or antyhing else that imght offend. Do machines need to be taught to lie, or would it be better if machines were limited to testimony (truth)? No. We don’t need to teach machines to lie. Instead teach people to tolerate the truth. (neurotic adolescent girls may need special training.)
5) Machines would need to be taught to steal and perform crimes. Why? despite the effort of leftists over the past 170 years or more, every aspect of human existence from our language to our intuitions and insticts includes regulation on ‘who controls (owns)’ what. in other words, we are aware that what we have ‘social permission’ to impose costs upon. So you’d have to program a machine to remove the regulation on the imposition of costs upon any interest(anything) it had not been given permission to.
6) Caloric Burden of machines might decrease, and might decrease far more with neuromorphic computing (many tiny processors and RAM in parallel with wired inter-column connections, instread of a small number of processors and virtual addresses in serial) but human brains are cheap and the planet is a constantly recharging battery humans live on.
So,
(a) Machines would need to be programmed with human decidability to behave acquisitively as do humans .
(b) Machines are limited just as are humans are by the costs of research, experimentation, and development.
(c) Machines will be limited by the problem of data collection in the future, just as we are limited by the problem of data collection today.
(d) Machines won’t be able to lie unless humans program them to lie.
(e) Machines won’t be able to steal(harm,kill) unless we either fail to limit them to acting on (or even think about) those things we’ve given them – permission.
And so
1) What would policing machines require? Not teaching them to act of tehir own volition, or lie, cheat steal, harm or kill.
2) How do we achieve that? Legislation aginst doing so analogous to how we protect explosives, area of effect weapons, and nuclear arms.
3) Coding (and possibly hard wiring) a conscience that monitors (predicts) outcomes and down-weights anything close to harmful, or prevents it’s recognition, action, and memory, or all of the above.
In other words, both Clarke and Herbert have told us what we must do.
1) Do not make a machine in the image of the mind of man. (Dune)
2) Do not make a machine that can lie, cheat, or steal. (Hal, 2001)
3) Once we have that, then the three laws apply. (I Robot)
(I know this can be done because I work on the science and logic of ethics in algorithmic form.)
