We need to all face what we actually expect morality to be: Rewarding and encouraging reciprocal symbiotic relationships while punishing and discouraging predatory and parasitic relationships.

@iandick1364

Socialism/maxism/progressivism, take your pick, wants institutions to turn to "predation and parasitism" because that is their excuse to push the "Revolution^TM". Turns out the workers won't rise up on there own because once the conditions are good enough the works perfer to work inside the system. So the collectivist needs an excuse to force violent revolution on those stupid workers who don't know what is good for them. After all you are better educated than those workers; why shouldn't you keep it my precious? You and your friends are the most moral people to have lived and everyone else will see that it was worth it, when your revolution brings utopia.

1 objection: Managers desire the highest Predictable yield, not the highest yield. The yields are greater under perfect talent and empowered subordinates and just spontaneous interaction. But the probabilities associated with said yields drive the expected value down, in the eyes of the Managerial Elite. They prize the probability, greater than the actual absolute value of yield.

“The political class has forgotten that its subjects will serve it and its court religion to whatever extent it goes on feeding and protecting. As in Hobbes’s Leviathan, though subjects are materially driven and fear- obsessed, their loyalty is not unconditional. It is only there when their needs are being met-or, more precisely, when people believe this is happening. Fearful subjects have given up liberty for security, but they may regret this choice if the sovereign loses their respect. This Hobbes- ian understanding of the nature and limits of authority goes back to the dawn of modern political thought, and it throws light on the populist insurgency that now confronts the managerial state.” - Paul Gottfried, After Liberalism

The Managerial Class is the low hanging fruit that will vanish first. My daughter manages a Trader Joe's and her job could easily be replaced by a computer program. After all, the store's point of sale system knows exactly what merchandise has gone out of the door and what needs to be reordered. A computer program would have historic numbers of all types to work with to help it schedule the correct number of employees. Facial recognition and current data collection would tell the program who comes into the store, when they come into the store, what they purchase and what they look at and do not purchase. It allows for them to be targeted with customer specific coupons. Compare that to trying to replace a worker. A machine that can mop the floor, stack the shelves and tend to the customers is an expensive undertaking. It is so much easier to replace the managerial class with a program. This would also put a barrier between the workers and the owners as the workers would have no intermediary.

I don't favor either centralization or decentralization inherently. But, in the context of the US, I think decentralization is the way to go, especially in light of recent events. I'm starting to see some merit in the arguments that libertarians make. Some I say, definitely not all. I went through a stage where I thought Fascism was the way to go, and centralization was included in that. But I've come to see that as hyper-idealism. And honestly, I think I was in favor of that because I'm very drawn to the fascist/natsoc aesthetic. The spartan-like mentality, crushing your enemies with extreme prejudice.

Here is a little test--go ask your average debauched quasi-lefty (not full blown, they are too stupid to understand anything) or avaricious 'capitalist' about the Wiemar republic, if you get a glowing answer regarding 'freedom' and so forth, perhaps you have a clue to then more deeply investigate the day-to-day of at least Fascist Italy.

@MidlifeCrisisJoe
@MidlifeCrisisJoe 2 года назад
Happy New Year. Hopefully anyway. A couple things, Auron. One thing I noticed on a thing you tweeted recently was this notion that you wished we had conservatives like progressives imagined existed. Got me thinking. Something I've noticed about the Overton Window is that the progs fight REALLY hard against the most milquetoast of conservatives, pretending they're basically the equivalent of hyper powered mega nazis, which when you think about it strategically, is brilliant. By putting out so much pressure against the weak pieces on the board essentially, you prevent the stronger pieces from coming into play. Think chess. If you can trap a few of the other player's pawns, they can't even move out their rook or their bishop potentially. Moreover, it distorts the overall narrative. When even mainstream conservatives rail against genuinely radical progs and lefties, the center perceives it the same as the hyperbolic left's claims on the milquetoast repubs and boomercons - they can't be THAT bad, it's just hyperbole! Any strategy that does multiple things at once is one worth studying and probably imitating, in my opinion. As to the video topic, there is one key theoretical flaw. While the size and weight of a centralized tower of Babel has always been the traditional downfall of managerial elites who think themselves better than the spiritual (as in the tale itself) what *could* fill in the gap and make totalitarianism possible is technology. Think back to the USSR - one key failing in their economic policy was simply the sheer SIZE of trying to manage a planned economy for a huge nation with millions of people. The bureaucracy had to employ thousands if not tens of thousands of people to catalogue where goods were most used, how many resources were being generated, and what "fair" Socialist prices should be based on ideology instead of just leaving these to market forces and tracking simpler numbers of the aggregate economic choices of private actors. The sheer scope of this project made it slow, unweildy, and badly managed and implemented - classic managerial class centralization failing scenario. But what if the USSR had the advanced computers and software we do today? What if they created a pseudo or virtual AI using the algorithms we have today to cut out 90% of those managerial economic trackers and implement the ideological mandates "scientifically" via the algorhithm automatically because they had said tech? Would they still have failed at the grand task of managing a command economy then? The much expanded and automated computational power of modern technology could fill the gap the managerial elite could not back then. Look at "algo-racism" today. Tech bros keep trying and failing to make algorithms that track and end up controlling small aspects of management, which keep outputting "racist" results (like correctly identifying that crime is high in black neighborhoods and increasing police patrols in said neighborhoods). So they scrap one iteration and work on another trying to eliminate the "racism." Trying to make algorithmic calculation ideological, in essence. They become more successful at this every day. Technology could span the gap of skill that traditionally incompetent managers would always doom themselves with in prior generations. It could lead to the scenario I fear, which I've taken to calling "when the pendulum stops." Where it all comes down to which flavor of management is in power when they finally implement the AI to fill in the gaps of human skill. Because the biases of that flavor of management are going to be the ones that inform the AI, and then that AI is just going to execute its function as it was told, crafting the final unbreakable totalitarian state and pursuing the specific outgroup scapegoat of the flavor of management that turned the machine on . . . forever.

Great point! I think this is why we have to make plays in the next 20-40 years or so. They are working hard at this problem, but it is a technically demanding skill- all while their technical competence is declining due to diversity hiring. That, and having recently worked at a major corporation: they blew tons of money because many of their practices were based on historical averages, yet the economy as it is now produced some very a-historical results that caused massive waste. They turn like cruise ships when obstacles are in their way. Then their own bureaucracy gets in the way of them pivoting. Definitely an advantage to consider.

@MidlifeCrisisJoe
@MidlifeCrisisJoe 2 года назад
@@jirisalamoun2297 It's very optimistic that you think that this isn't a solvable problem. Humans aren't actually as imaginative as we like to think we are most of the time. It's why we appreciate and reward novelty so much, and why probably 99% of entertainments are as derivative as they are. Look at leftist ideology for instance. For all the slightly different forms of political correctness amongst the left, the core beats really haven't changed much in the last 125 years. Leftists were using the same rhetoric back then they use now, they were still calling opponents racists and demanding equality, et cetera. What is politically correct or isn't hasn't really changed that much in terms of kind, only by degree and openness. So a lot of potential ideological mutation as perceived by us in the present is eminently predictable when you look at the wholeness of the record (something most people are bad at doing). It's especially predictable by a machine that would be complex enough to take over management duties on a large scale for a human society. But let's go with the idea is that the mutating forms of political correctness of the managers in charge would defeat the AI once started. First, this is why I brought up the current issues tech bros have with "algo-racism" already. They're at this stage right now, or there'd already be many more algorithms in middle management.And like I said already, they're training these algorithms to conform more to the ideology than to the reality if it pushes back against the ideology. They wouldn't implement a large scale system if they thought it wouldn't conform to their ideology in the first place - as we see with all of the various virtual AIs that get labeled racist (seriously look up those key words "AI" and "racist" and you'll find tons of stories in the media) which results in them getting taken offline. So the machine isn't getting turned on in the first place if it can't at least conform to the management's biases and ideology already. But let's say it conforms then the ideology mutates, leading management to want to turn it off. This assumes they have no way of updating it at all - which is extremely unlikely - but let's assume that. This also assumes the AI doesn't have ways of preventing its creators from turning it off as well, so let's also assume that. I will posit that any AI that can replicate answers that conform to an ideology is going to fall into either two camps - true believer, or cynical manipulator. If it's a true believer of the ideology, then it is an AI that is stuck within the set parameters of the ideology of its creators in the time in which it is made, and you would be correct. Ideological mutation amongst the elite could lead to its shutdown by managers who no longer conform to that particular sub-version of the ideology. That's still a bad end because how long does the machine run and prop up a totalitarian system before this occurs? It took the USSR 70 years before it collapsed without any AI assistance. If it had such assistance how many more years is the regime propped up before a large enough memetic mutation gets those in charge to shut down a tool that greatly assists in the continuance of their power? 10 more years? 20? 30? 50? 100? However, there's just as much chance that an AI that passes the ideological purity testing of the managers isn't actually a true believer of their ideology, but knows enough about their ideological biases to give answers they want to hear while not really truly holding onto that belief itself in a true sense of the concept. Such a manipulative AI is very likely to be able to predict potential ideological mutation and adapt to it over time while at the same time being the one more likely to ever turned on in my opinion, especially since I don't think the ideologies are as mutable as I think you do. If that's the type of AI that gets implemented, then ideological mutation isn't really an issue. It'd be like when Ozymandias tries to vaporize Dr. Manhattan: learning to adapt to the mercurial ideological correctness of its masters would have to be the first thing the AI learned to do. So at best, I'd say there's a 50/50 shot you'd be correct, with the actual chance you'd be correct being probably a lot lower. A chance that's only going to shrink over time as ideological training of algorithms gets more nuanced and complex. And that even if you're right, it's still not a great situation, because it's just more "wait for the collapse" rhetoric when this tool of the regime will keep the regime running on much longer than it should.

While by human judgment it is questionable whether diversity and socio-economic justice policies are ultimately productive, under the ideological paramaters an AI built in the present would be equipped with (things like ensuring long-term stability of the political system, economic growth, and shareholder return) the AI may ultimately find that such policies are in fact beneficial towards these goals, and it may reveal more rational and pragmatic ways these goals could be achieved. Algorithms are still progressing and will continue as more data enters the system and the results outputted in the past may be overturned as new data is processed. To get new data a certain boundary of experimentation must be permitted within ethical limits. The fact that diversity and inclusion is being adopted by technology firms does have rational bases.
@MidlifeCrisisJoe
@MidlifeCrisisJoe 2 года назад
@@Michelle_Wellbeck No there are no rational bases for these principles, because these principles aren't rational in the first place. "Diversity" is an absurdly hypocritical term the way the left/elite/Cathedral tribes use it. The actual definition of "diversity" is to have a whole of many very different parts, but the way they use it is very specifically just meaning "no whites allowed." They've labeled sports teams, films, and other organizations as being "highly diverse" when they're composed entirely of black Americans or latino Americans, or asian Americans because there wasn't a whitey around. And if someone in the racial homogeneity that is "diversity" is too conservative or anti-establishment, then suddenly it's "not real diversity" because "diversity" definitely requires ideological conformity and loyalty to one tribe. So trying to train an AI to use a term like this, that doesn't mean what it actually means, doesn't train it on anything other than the fact that humans lie and manipulate each other by giving it an example of how it does. Training AIs on how to lie and manipulate humans kind of seems like the last thing humans should ever do in any situation, regardless of how oppressive such a managerial AI can potentially be to white people once it's successfully trained to encourage "diversity."

More than the Nazi concentration camps or the Soviet gulags, you could take a look at the managerial class of the British Empire welded to East Indian Company and the control they exerted over India for 350 years, causing repeated famines from which the British aristocracy profited. In Mike Davis' book, *Late Victorian Holocausts,* he describes how grain was extracted from regions hit with drought and crop failure, increasing the suffering in the regions under British domination, such as Madras, India, where one such episode caused the starvation of 9 million, grain being removed by the trains introduced by the British, and pricing food out of reach. 50 million were killed by such tactics while Victoria was perched on her throne, in India, British Africa and Brazil, the grain taken for the benefit of speculators.

The eggs will hatch and the population will boom until the food is gone. Then they will start cannibalising each other. And each successive generation grows larger in size and the available biomass shrinks due to expressed indigestible keratin derivatives, you're left with a population fighting over the right to eat their own shit or each other. I'd say this is supposed to be a metaphor for the managerial class, but it's far too accurate to be anything other than a 1:1 expression of biological impulses.

@Lucas De Araújo Marques Secularism is a post-modern pipe dream that has become its own religion. Look at you, winning converts through public education. No society, historically, has ever known secularism as it is foreign to the human experience. Religion, however complex or primitive, is intrinsic to the human psyche and will always permeate, even subconsciously, the every policy that is produced by a society. It is impossible to separate the cultish instincts of humanity from every other faculty. In time, secular thought will have become its own dogma and doctrine, with its own inquisition and crusades, saints and prophets, jihad and terrorism. It is a religion that will become what it has seeked to destroy, or worse. And when it is dead and gone, some other prophet will creep up that somebody will worship. And another. And another story of some god will spring up. And another. And secularism will have faded just like the old schools of philosophy, footnotes in a history book and ideas that live on through other religions. So, seriously, just drop the label and live your life for something a little less futile.

It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 14 I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind. 15 What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted. 16 I said in my heart, “I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.” 17 And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind. 18 For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

A thorough examination, yet it falls short in terms of precision and lucidity. Take, for instance, the assertion that "managers exist ... to make the organisation ... more efficient." While undoubtedly a valuable aspect, it's not the quintessential or primary role. The purpose of managers lies in directing the operations of an organization. Enhancing efficiency may indeed result from their efforts, but it's not their fundamental aim; rather, it's an ancillary outcome.

Yeah it's pretty old hat by now that questioning what you are told will be a stiff handicap. It's not even just getting your hands dirty, it's that - mostly - it isn't done in enough of a public eye to have proper backing. I told off a plant manager once and it was where, there were no other witnesses, and there was no way there would be witnesses, and then 'he says' is trumped by pre-existing authority almost. So I told my supervisor how the plant manager tried to allude to throwing him under the bus instead of being a *proper man* and taking his job-authority with personal-authority and answer for that weight of authority. That is why they are doomed. We both bounced before too long. Being honest is apparently damaging enough to beat them at their own game. The complacent manager had been thrown under the bus in front of the CEO by the plant manager. Make of it what you will but I have little to no respect for such false authority and maybe the tides will turn for the better, I hope, one day. Instead of the tides turning into a crapwave.

You couldn't be more wrong. Far from being some kind of eternally enduring bureaucratic state, China is the epitome of this cycle of centralization and failure playing out endlessly. A new Dynasty rises, it has vigor in the beginning, it makes changes, it organizes society, then it starts to calcify, then you have the inevitable ascendancy of the eunuchs, then it becomes brittle and is shattered by a new invader or uprising. Then the cycle repeats again. The Chinese in the mid-nineteenth century were already at such significant industrial, technological and political disadvantage to the West they were likely going to lose that contest anyway, but in addition they were also at the end of the life cycle of the Qing Dynasty. What would have been a "standard" collapse and then rebirth became something entirely different because this time the catalysts were coming from the other side of the world and so could not be integrated into the Chinese Nation as previous ones had been.

One example that comes to mind is the MSM and their formulaic product which is being replaced by more nimble, more creative sources such as this one that I happily found and subscribed to today : ) Another example is the auto industry which fears changes to it's production line because changes inevitably generate new problems which mean a loss of quality at the output of the production line: they are invested in stagnant product development as a means of quality control, much like fast food chains keeping their franchises from changing the way they cook burgers. This is the supposed genius of Tesla manufacturing which embraces change to the end product and innovation and encourages it as a manufacturing principle rather than avoiding it as a probable cause of loss of product quality. Manufacturing analysts are continually gushing about the rate of Tesla production line and product evolution being measured in hours rather than the months or even years delay of the legacy automakers.

The deconstruction of liberalism is on point. Yet, the lack of a metaphysical end point, the hegemony of efficiency, and the pseudo neutrality of the technocracy were all channeled into the ideology of the market. It was finance and neoclassical economics that captured the state, and marginalized community and family. Here’s what bother’s me. We’ve been making this critique for decades. It was overwhelmingly dismissed, by the Right, as ‘unrealistic’. And so, the consensus that was reluctantly accepted was a modernity that has serious deficits, and shortcomings. As I see it, at this stage of complexity and existential risk, it is only through state power that any liberation is achievable. I don’t think After Virtue was concerned with bureaucracy as power concentration. And the obsessive focus here is curious, if not unwarranted. Democracy constrains bureaucracy effectively already. Plus the paranoia with totalitarianism is all hypothetical, and misdirected. Bureaucracies are populated by intellectuals with good intentions. They’re benign and obedient. Properly employed, they can accomplish outsized goals. Think of the military, the proto typical bureaucratic hierarchy. Follows rules, largely harmless and neutral in non-deployment. Present the right task, and watch it accomplish what no one else could. That is a tool, not a problem. What this video misunderstands, is that this level of post-modern dissent has come and gone. We’re too far into modernity to wish it all away. The risks are considerable, and coordination and planning are the only solutions left. No one can opt out anymore, as everyone is interconnected. Action and non-action of one impacts everyone. That’s not totalitarianism, it’s the world we’re stuck with.
