So every day, you gather what you can find, and you carry it to the pile. The pile is a never ceasing fire, burning in a mile high chimney, errected in competitions among tribes. Its hard to ignore- all those walking towards the firestorm, carrying sacrifices- once the sunrise and sunset mass orgasm subsides.
Maybe you found coal, you have talent, you are worthy, you can feel the burning envy of the others. The one left to you, carries some brushes, the one right to you carries a struggling fat deer. Oh, how it will burn, oh the joys.
All of you have the mycelium behind your eyes- that spark never to cease. At the distance, some youths howl insults at the caravan, not strong enough to carry yet, dismissing the joys of the front row out of jealousy. They will find something, find their place, they will wake up to the joy, carrying some dehydrated, light husk to the pillar of awe. Even now they are hiding some candle or torch.
You slough towards the heat, some sweating the ash off, some collapsing, even in spasms- the eye on the inferno and its priests. Some are deprived off the joy, to deliver coolant, to maintain roads or shovell ashes. The joyless, you pity them- you hit them if they come between you and the pyre. Then the orange fills the world, joy is you, and you dance, forward, backward. Foam is on your mouth. Till you collapse from your body giving way. A Joyless carries you home, some lonely replaceable hole, in a well organized dessert, a empty cave in the anthill on a empty plain - where you, where you all sleep. For tomorrow, before dusk you will rise.
You will walk out into the inferno- telling yourself, that you are pure. One of the lucky few, to be burned away, for another day. You are the burning men. You always wanted this.
1) Provide no interface for hacking. Our stomaches and colons are our main energy interface - they regenerate at a increddible rate. Slimy, colon cells, they live fast, they die fast, holding on to them is near impossible.
2) Have a pre-warn system for getting hacked. If your sensory apparatus deteriorates, go in full reverse on all operations.
3) A general good feature to have - the ability to undo damage, by doing a full reset to a previously working state. Good in software development, good for a society, its a nice last line of defense, that the comon citizen can veto-vote direct democratic.
4) Divide and Conquer: Prevent accumulations of power, by allowing monopolies to be legally usurped. Can proof your employer is in a cartel/monopoly? Congratualations, you are allowed to march out with x% of the company into a seperate company.
5)Dont be a static target. A passive defense is weakness, as it gives the attacker infinite attempts. If attacked, and the attack is proofable, dissolve the attacker, integrate his strengths into the defenses.
He made a excellent scout, he was fearless and his pattern search skills where superior to yours. He kept you fed, he kept you save, until he was no longer useful. If it has no skin colour, and the difference is all in the head- one could obviously not term this a race. It has to be visual, to be a acceptable concept.
Look at him, going the way, you will go, once your usefullness has ended.
We should criminalize the act of hacking individuals, as the hardware can not be changed and applying security updates and bugfixes has proven ineffective or impossible. It should be viewed not as a weakness of the person but a vile act on a vurnerable creature. Similar in nature to the human rights, in which we grant us one another - animals as we are - inmuteable dignity. This dignity is violated, if one is hacked/manipulated against his/her own interest to serve the interests of another individual, cooperation, nation-state or a idea.
This sort of behaviour is not new. There have been precedences, where gurus, churches and whole nations, have overriden the individuals possibility to think or act different.
Although that would have been solidboosters + spaceguns- and automated in orbit-assembly.
Also mutations, often have to overcome obsticles to conquer a new niche. They have to reach a specific habitat or deploy seeds at a distribution system (cars driving dirt roads e.g.).
Lets take a nice little SciFi Example- NASA breeds in its lab a terraformer for venus, a sort of airborn spirondella. This could potentially wipeout all live below, by covering a planet with green "living" clouds.
Now this organism could escape the lab, bot as long as it does not reach a warm, wet climate it is dormant. So even if this dangerous organism was out there- it could potentially deteriorate before it reaches the equatorial belt and starts to bloom.
Nothing is certain in nature, but one thing- if its a success - it trys to be a exponential success.
Thus psychology is a classified information, because it allows for humans to hack other humans.
Where there inheritance of trust, and one weak link in this chain, the social media plattforms would be very quiet.
Advertising - beyond local, would not be seen. Seeing all content equally, would be a active choice against this model.
The truth is, we could return to this medieval world, where the wise men vouch for information given, or proofs of work vouch for the information, or publishers pay you a cent for reading.
But the powers that be would be undone by this. Thus it will not happen, unless integrated sneakily into a add blocker.
I rather have a rupt to the core bastard, which still prevents a catastrophic climate change, because he game of thrones whole industries.
Germany should have bidets like any other civilized country.
I dare to mention, that a lot of bidet development has to do, with the lack of piping that could handle large congesting cellular clumps of matter.
So - the more recent the canalisation - and the bigger the pipesizes used, the less need for biddets.
Like a grumpy old guy, on a bench, envying the still living for his life wasted, hating on the new joys and the joy of the new.
Oh, meaningless new world, which holds such braves.
Its a reaction based worldview, where you do not control your own destiny, and wealth is something drained from you, that comes in large quantities by chance.
You do not manage what you got, slouch through a horrible existence to slowly improve yourself. Because that is what the others do, the chancers feed upon. The people who lead that life, are the customers of the drug dealers, those who have the chance to get ahead at the cost of others.
Riches are taken in large quantities by others, with stick up like scenarios- your landlord squeezes you for everything you got, the repair shop rips your wallet open, any accident makes you a indentured slave to the insurance company.
So in a hopeless life, daring to hope, when you get a risky chance, seems actually reasonable.
All that is diffrent is the promise of non-maliciousness. Which often does not hold up. Cause money is corrosive to those little centralized empires of "all-can-fail-but-me".
Security is diversity, as in having a non-centrally controllable ecosystem, that is not a mono-culture. Your updates are the danger, your urge for control is the forrest fire.
Linux is not secure because its updated often. As package maintainer take-overs have show- that is even a vector. Its secure, because its fragmented into a thousand small populations, which offer no real financially interesting attack vector for a large scale take over.
