overu589··on The Myth of the Rule of Law (1995)
The lawful right of recourse is really the only fundamental human right we have. The first and foremost implicit contract we have with the state. To lawfully protect us.

Cutting through the customs of times, the fundamental axiom of all law is to protect one party (those “unculpable”) from violation by another party.

Various stages of philosophical evolution exist throughout humanity, ours purports a mechanism of statutes around problematic ideas.

There is this phrase, “the spirit of [the] law”. In paper law that means what the original declaration meant to those invoking it. By a “righteous rule of law”, it is to “protect the innocent from breach by will or neglect.”

Custom (“precedent”) establishes what that means. A continuum of persistence by popular intent is essential to ensure coherence for their time.

The myth is that a righteous rule of law may ever stand without vigilant competence among those who enjoy its luxury. It cannot be someone else’s problem forever.

overu589··on Former CIA agent: The truth about manipulation
So true.

I find among delusional modern dysfunction are those making self awareness taboo.

The mind is a technology, I find you all (fellow Americans) are too shy of exploring your own inward nature, making you complicit boo. Vigorous debate is a rarified pass time because yours cannot take a step out of ourselves long enough to explore the manifold perspectives, without the emotional unhinged.

Get back to actual reading and having higher expectations for yourselves than others.

overu589··on Show HN: Zarathustra – AI-powered sales research in 60 seconds
Well, it’s honestly kind of light.

Consider Zarathustra dispels the darkness and delusions of men’s minds. Maybe some graph analytics like the appearance of the site or company name/profile in search engines, news, reviews, or other sources

You know? It kind of feels like an LLM script telling you what you could learn at a quick glance.

Not everything was accurate in my samples.

Also the navigation needs some work. I couldn’t (mobile) go back to the start without reloading the url. Back buttons didn’t work either.

overu589··on Since gravity moves at light speed, does Earth orbit where sun was 8 min. ago?
I’ve wondered the same.

I actually think they’re all liars (science fraud in the double billions) and gravity is a standing, not propagating wave.

I believe the Earth will not continue its elliptical orbit, it will vector onward immediately.

overu589··on Show HN: Zarathustra – AI-powered sales research in 60 seconds
Zarathustra? Sales? I find it indignant. Sort of like calling your backup manager Jesus. Not many Zoroastrians around these days, though they are not absent from the world. Brutal honesty for you.
overu589··on Ask HN: Quantum Entanglement
The whole universe is the “god particle”, let’s call it “universal potential, the totality of all.”

As for entanglement, entanglement breaks down through heat and interaction. Entanglement must be insulated and maintained (in mass) or it decays by environmental interference.

I’m fairly sure that entanglement is the synchronization of a hyperdimensional vibration, of which there are more unique vibrations than there are particles in the universe, so theoretically yet not practically, one might change the vibration like a radio dial and run across the entangled synchronization with the randomized vibrations of all other particles. You simply would never know if it were entangled with a random mote of dust drifting in the cosmic void, or otherwise.

This said, I also believe not being synchronized gives each particle a unique scope of identity. Thus it allows our minds to be subjectively our own (by default), and yes I propose that our minds entangle and may entangle.

Be glad no such correlation as you suggest exist, for fools always believe their wisdom is the extent of universality. There is always something more even great minds have not yet considered, and one may never know how existence may be manipulated for whose own interests.

overu589··on All Placebos are not created equal (2021)
Also discounting that the mind and body themselves are self regulating technology. For instance I have the conscious ability to push pain off into the distance and be unaffected by it, for others they can “take their mind off it” in various ways. Reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia, “the trick is to not care.”

There is more, much more, regarding our humanity and the mind body link which science does not have qualitative ways of exploring.

overu589··on Most Externalities Are Solved with Technology, Not Coordination
This seems a bit odd.

Leading with abstract discussion regarding technology as a solution, only it’s too hard to enforce royalty rights (people just keep doing whatever works for them regardless of who had a good idea first.)

Next, classifying solutions to technology problems which use technology (coal burning for instance) as being a superior alternative to “social solutions” which never quite work.

The article appears to subtly suggest it unfair for anyone not paying in royalties for technology based solutions to their problems.

The presentation appears to claim “social” solutions don’t work or are insufficient, and only technology innovators (and their intellectual property) solve real problems.

Looks like a think piece laying a conceptual framework for promoting intellectual property technology as universally superior to “social solutions” whatever they make that out to be.

Have I missed something?

overu589··on Why do we care about probabilities?
I like to say “potential exists, probability is a mathematical description of its distribution.”
overu589··on Nvidia invests in quantum computing after CEO said it's decades from usefulness
The qubit is a dead end. Quantum holography (manipulating quantum memory through interference) will unlock the capacities we dream for.

Scientist, engineers, and theorists cannot even explain to themselves how the qubit will get us anywhere.

overu589··on Taking inspiration from the human brain to create a new class of intelligent
Lost in this is the true science:

> negative differential resistance

This will allow the disposition of the quantum domain to be “sussed” without interfering resolve.

overu589··on Have humans passed peak brain power?
You are a pathetic figment of the potential that is your humanity. Brain, body, intellect.

(Someone has to say it.)

overu589··on Ask HN: Revolutions happening now
Our psyche.

The exogenous of thought control is the imminent threat to humanity that humanity doesn’t know about, and is not prepared to comprehend.

overu589··on Freedom From Choice? Bad philosophy masquerading as good science (2015)
Existential reality (Truth) is not limited by the horizon of Man’s ignorance.

Existential reality is potential distributing and interfering (constructively and destructively.)

State and the constraints of interaction, the “physics” you’re referring to only describe the outcome, not the intrinsic characteristics or even ultimate capacity for what is only a passing instance.

The delusion is yours sir.

You are potential, continuously resolving, not merely physical states interacting.

overu589··on Ask HN: Is human technology advancing faster than human wisdom sustainable?
Yes, in a way, more than one, though things are not quite as you expect them.

The human capacity for wisdom is great. It is the lies we tell ourselves which hobble minds and distort the significance of any thing abstracted beyond the account of one’s direct senses.

There are a whole heap of lies. One for instance is your frequent use of the word “we.”

Can you do those things?

No.

Someone can. Not you. That you may confer your own confidence through such a figment of an association is striking.

Consider that civilization dies and is reborn and must recreate itself every so many generations. We now have much records, only what lives of civilization is that embodied by those taking upon themselves its reinvention.

Wisdom is not some far off future technology, it is the determination not to be a damned idiot fool at every intersection of consequence. When you think feel or believe you are not capable of being the damned idiot fool, you are too corrupt and full of treacherous lies to be wise enough for anything.

The fragment of civilization represented by you is only that which you have cultivated (embodied or actualized) of those representations.

overu589··on How Do We Build a General Intelligence? [video]
Great presentation on the modern disposition of ML.

Accept that existential reality is different than rendered states.

Graceful (fail forward) exception handling is as profound a tool of enlightenment as one will ever find in statistical learning systems.

overu589··on Probabilistic Artificial Intelligence
Existential Reality is potential distribution not arrangement of states.

Potential exists, probability is a mathematical description of its distribution. Every attribute is a dimension (vector). State is merely a passing measurement of resolve. Potential interacts through constructive and destructive interference. Constructive and destructive interference resolve to state in a momentary measure of “now” (an inevitability decaying proposition.)

Existential Reality is potential distributing, not arrangements of state.

overu589··on How Silicon Valley's Corrupted Libertarianism Is Dismantling American Democracy
The orgy of blame shame psyops are surging.

Know that it is these think tanks pushing these narratives who drive America’s talking points. There are those who pay them for it, and then there are the ruling class of those, the dominant voices in their minds who you will never hear of. This is a battle for control ideology, not corrupt libertarianism.

The mind boggled masses think the most pressing issues are those talked most loudly and of frequent attention. The true issues are not those addressed, they are talked around, those the spontaneous antics of politics will jilt from attention.

Know that you, populous, are a lascivious mob of fickle appetites. You eat and shit noble hearts. If you are to have integrity you must rebuild your own foundations and cut yourself from the umbilical maintaining the lie that is your middle American lifestyle. Own your own jobs, own your own land, have no debt, speak for yourself and your own. Own your own asses. You are self deceivers.

(I am not a libertarian)

overu589··on [dead]
Dare I say “your kind of thinking is the problem.”

I’m not supporting musk here, it’s a matter of jumbling so many ideas together regarding a man’s freedom of expression.

> At what point should humanity put a limit to the power an individual can wield?

LAW is that limit. In an ideal world a person can do whatever the f she wants as long as it doesn’t actually violate the embodied right of some other, and “law” is the only f-ing thing in the entire world of humans which allows one to interfere with another’s “power.”

Read some Ayn Rand or something (on dynamics of personal power.)

overu589··on Ask HN: What are some major world problems that are still unsolved?
Truth, morality, human rights, an incorruptible righteous rule of law.
overu589··on Is the Silent Treatment a Form of Abuse?
Only if it impairs a pre-existing role of responsibility (such as mutual accountability.)

The very idea that one person feels they may make demands upon the attention of another is outrageous.

Btw, silence is a powerful relationship tool that may be best explored by quieting one’s own internal noise. Ejaculating one’s internal thoughts is not communicating.

overu589··on CIA Director Says U.S. Has Paused Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine
I am the opposite of what you say. You are the weekend warrior to me.

I said “you don’t try hard enough” in my foreign to you way of shaping thoughts. You should burn your ass for ten years and you will see how it is a lack of populists’ balls which fail us all.

overu589··on CIA Director Says U.S. Has Paused Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine
I say these are an obligation to the last who would dare speak beyond the motley of their own lives.

The power isn’t somewhere out there, it is by what you’ve so far wasted by these other self conceits.

overu589··on CIA Director Says U.S. Has Paused Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine
Not as easy a narration as the global stage, eh?

This deserved a more dignified answer, I’m not trying to troll.

It is like watching a car crash in slow motion, wondering why everyone doesn’t take sensible road safety into consideration, and for the other guy (usually) shit is just happening.

I guess the world comes down to those who see we are intrinsically beset by our own worst enemy, ourselves; and those who look (rightly in some situations) to the blameful others. And that’s a sad shit storm founded upon a recipe of mass delusion in the populous mind.

You may be looking for too clear an explanation.

Lack of generational seriousness about power in this world is one complaint with your tone. You’re the armchair critic of good faith gone wrong. (Slight trolling there).

I know you certainly aren’t “the problem”, you’re a noble heart, I feel you. You aren’t the solution either. You don’t have the mettle in you to even understand the problem, let alone the solution.

overu589··on CIA Director Says U.S. Has Paused Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine
You are a candle in a dark windy gale. Power is not a job it is made of people. The modern way of life has eroded our foundations for self rule and we awaken to delegated power not working how we had hoped.

It’s a long hard road with a lot of work within, which never begins until you let go of the comfortable lie of modernity. Those you think are your enemies are full pro on this power thing. The damn shame is, the greater enemy are those who will play your “sides” against one and other, though we all have our issues.

I hope this war ends soon favorably for the Ukrainians. Trump is tacking this down as a tough business deal. Different kind of war than Zelensky’s experience. They could get fleeced.

In your mind you were just comfy and now you notice virtue is collapsing somewhere in the world. The war isn’t where the bombs drop, it is everywhere this damn mechanation of power presses upon us. Which for modernity is by umbilical.

If you cannot see what I mean for yourself, just do extra sit-ups and pushups and don’t be the slob when the yolk of civilization falls upon you and yours.

overu589··on CIA Director Says U.S. Has Paused Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine
Talk talk talk.

Invest ten years of your life in cultivating power like everyone else who wants to hold sway over humanity and stop sounding like world care hobbyists. The war has only begun and it isn’t Russia against Ukraine. Trump isn’t the enemy either. Thought controlled America will be the toughest challenge to come.

> The role of “leader of the free world” is open, I hope someone capable can take it.

I would not wish notoriety or power upon any I cared for. The fickle apatites of the lascivious mob are as great a danger as the lush intoxication of do or be damned power.

Americans have lost their way (continuity) and the consumertopia lie of self worth is only the start of deception.

Integrity cannot be found among America’s self lies. Bullshitting the way through it can hardly be called foul game.

You and yours don’t seem to have the push around for freedom in this game. You seem to have been told you “deserve” it and it’s your “right.” It must be made and maintained and rebuilt every generation, this tenacity of will which makes one’s “free.”

Fortunately some do not travel to “get some where”. Some travel simply to go.
overu589··on Ask HN: Are we planning to coexist with aliens or do we colonize them?
Man is savage and beastial and must be dealt with so.

Some day, there will be those who comprehend civilizing accord, without which we will only know savage power.

Btw, they’re already here and they can hear you think!
