Matthew 5:34-37
34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one
So who introduced the oath of secrecy?

Thanks for the insight.

The opposite. I assume that the mode of operation will change and thus things will become much more expensive.

All foreign fruit being very scarce and people standing in long lines to get it, while the ones in the back knew they probably aren’t getting any today? Also westerners’ fault.
Do you know the history of the united fruit company? That one could be correct.

If you are clever enough for that creative work, why don’t you use that creativity to make those jobs?
The uncomfortable problem is that manufacturing jobs dind’t move to China for the cheap workers but for the cheap engineers and managers who run the factories.
Production won’t come back because there are not enough clever people in the USA.

We don’t need to worry about grocery bills if we have community farms
We have to worry about farming though.
The prices of agriculture commodities are so low that things will be more expensive after a revolution. Think illigal immigrants picking fruits, they will receive fair wages, won’t they?

You are not wrong that I should read a book on epistemology. But why do you ask me how science can create knowledge? If you have read those books yourself, you should know.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
As you noted, I rephrased your words. We are not talking about my axioms. It doesn’t make sense to define tainted if that is not what you mean.
Still, your point seems to be that definition of words require history. You can have that form of history. The context is just that history is rewritten and I argue that that can be compensated with science.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
Enlighten me. Science can always be recreated. Which knowledge is needed from history that cannot be created in a scientific way?
Science was created for a time when knowledge was insecure because it was tainted with superstition.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
How does science know if something is true, with experiments.

So we need software that enhances the voices of those who we want to hear.

The past doesn’t tell you what to do, especially not when your recordings of history are wrong. If you cannot trust your history, how are you going to make decisions?
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
I was arguing that history is not needed when we have access to all experiences so we can ignore history if it is tainted.
You say that relying on wrong history is dangerous and in the original comment, you say that well cited information is essential.
There is no real contradiction but you have shown how access to information can be changed, or framed, and modeled to elicit certain outcomes.

You are welcome.
What’s your opinion if you don’t mind me asking?
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
That’s the challenge. I still believe that it is possible.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
Why does it have to be dictated? People can freely organize in a democratic way.
The problem is that people may join just because it is better, without fully supporting the respect towards others that is needed in such a system.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
I agree, for the way our societies are structured.
My point is that we could organize us in a way that history could provide additional depth but that the essential decisions could be made as well without the knowlege of history.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 2 weeks ago:
Does it matter? History only matters if actions in the now are justified by interpretations of the past.
Thanks to the internet, we have instant access to the experience of billions of people. All human experience is already there and doesn’t have to be approximated by history.

All your points are opportunities. Some should just not be taken immediately. When in Europe, it’s not good to start with traveling earth, think Gallileo. When in America, it’s better to build weapons first before contacting Europe.

First I would seek the attention of the local ruler by cooking interesting dishes with modern knowledge.
Then I would ask him to create an akademy. I don’t know the details but I know what can be known. Intelligent people will reinvent the knowledge.
Some side businesses should make enough money that the akademy and thus further development doesn’t entirely rely on the king.
Build cities with public transport and no cars, because there is no car.
Success.

is this what you mean by first mover advantage?
Yes.

If you make it open source then they can steal it, too.
Why not look at it in positive light? If somebody steals it, they help you popularize the game and they show you another way to implement it.
Of course, first mover advantage, there is some truth to your worries. Still, should you quit because you don’t find a way to implement the game, consider giving it a last chance by opening up the process.
