Interesting. It took McNeil 25 years to write the Rise of the West.

( All I see around the world is a problem of religion/philosophy and underclass. Fix the religion/philosophy and reduce the underclass and we will have far fewer problems. )

WHAT MADE THE WEST BETTER THAN THE REST?
The Universal, Reciprocal, Insurance, of Sovereignty To All Who Will Take the Oath.
“I will fight for your sovereignty if you will fight for mine.”
Brothers in arms first.
Family Second.
Nation Third.
That’s why the west is best.
Trust let us evolve faster than the rest.
Trust creates economic velocity, technical velocity, and martial agility.

AI’S WILL BE MORE MORAL THAN HUMANS UNLESS WE CHOOSE NOT TO MAKE THEM SO.
Humans have the ability to choose rationally whether to cooperate, avoid, parasite, or prey upon others. Machines do not need to have this choice.
Humans create three organizations in order to make it difficult to prey upon one another. WE would do the same for AI’s.
1) (OSTRACIZATION) Religion, Myth, Tradition, Norm,
2) (BOYCOTT) Finance, Credit, Banking, Industry, business, trade.
3) (FORCE) Military, Judiciary, Law, Sheriff, Police
We can create the same organizations for AI’s and the awesome difference is that we can create AI’s to read each other’s minds.

(Diary) (I wish I understood. I am productive as hell today. I did a lot of walking yesterday. But I was alone too much yesterday. It’s because I felt very bad for much of the day because I got some preservatives somehow. So I was in ‘confused’ state. I couldn’t write at all. I watched a couple of movies in the hotel lobby. I went to bed very tired. It was too hot at night. I slept with headphones on listening to a book. This morning I’ve had a cappuccino and two eggs and an apple juice. I need a shower (I was too hungry this morning). The ‘noise’ in my autistic monster is calm for some reason. I have no idea why. I love ukraine like crazy today. Gotta be the exercise. All it can be.
Lift heavy things. Walk don’t drive. Sleep. Write.)

EMOTIONS: TREATS AND SCOLDINGS FOR BEING GOOD LABRADOR RETRIEVERS FOR OUR GENES.
All our emotions are explicable as rewards or punishments for the discovery of, pursuit of, obtaining of, hoarding of, consumption of, resources of every conceivable kind.
That’s it. The universe is a simple place with simple rules of operation. Man is a simple creature with simple rules of operation. We seek to acquire, preserve, and consume, that which is to our advantage.
It’s just that we’re pretty amazing in the scope of things we can use to our advantage. We haven’t discovered anything new to eat on this planet in 200 years. Think about that. It’s a big planet when there are just a few tens of millions of us.
We haven’t found a new basic chemical reaction in quite a while.
We haven’t found a basic metallurgical reaction in quite a while.
We are pretty good at searching and finding. Actually, we’re scary good at it. To the point where the basic problem of scientific investigation today is just the cost of basic research given the energy requirements for many of our investigations.
It’s the accumulation of logical, mechanical, and cooperative tools that we create from basic resources, that make it possible for us to envision so many new possibilities.
It’s so awesome.
But our emotions are just drugs: rewards and punishments for being a good labrador retriever for our genes.
