Plants go much slower than us and machines much faster so they ''experience'' a different life.</br></br>The current approach to AI Large language models will achieve things faster than we can but will never achieve more than we can because the inputs are filtered (and biased) by us. We need to loose the machines on the raw physics.</br></br>My initial attempt will be sound. I want the see what the machine hears when it samples at 192,000hz, well above human audio range.

Her Darwinian rugged individualism is the best argument made against straight evolution for a conscious moral being and the fact that it is the belief system of the creationist capitalists is the ultimarpte irony. </br></br>Followers of Ayn Rand's philosopy have never left morality level 1, '''don't do what hurts''' and until they do they can't</br># Follow the teachings of Christ.</br># Counter Richard Dawkins radical Darwinism</br># Thrive as a society. --Johnny 09:40, 11 December 2016 (EST)ty. --Johnny 09:40, 11 December 2016 (EST))
• 202 West Neck Lane Dock 2022  + (I want the dock for the primarily for the … I want the dock for the primarily for the sailboat pictured below. The sailboat is 26' long so at minimum I'd like the dock twice that (at 8' lengths that would be 56'). The sailboat rides pretty high out of the water, lots of freeboard, so to board we need to be high as well. Looking at the bulkhead coming out at the height of the bulkhead seems optimum for both boarding and keeping the dock out of the waves. Would like to be able to dock boats on both sides.</br></br>Geographically the bulkhead, 90' per the county map, is well positions to be a ''hurricane hole''. While I know nothing can stand up to a strong hurricane I'd like to count on this to ride out anything less. The dock should point to the big water to the North presenting the least surface are to where the bigger waves are apt to come from. I'll dock the sailboat on the East side of the dock where the peninsula next to it protects it from the East winds. </br></br>Most times I'll pull the boat straight in and back out but will turn the boat if a hurricane is coming so the bow points into the waves.</br>At the end of the dock I'd like to be able to swim so at minimum a ladder.</br>See pictures below for aspect and details. Bulkhead is in 2 stretches with part facing North-Northwest and the bulk pointing North. The old dock is at the intersection on the North-Northwest side.</br></br>The bulkhead looks good to me but if you see anything that needs repairing or fortifying let me know.needs repairing or fortifying let me know.)
• Work and Value  + (I'm pondering what it means that the impet … I'm pondering what it means that the impetus back to work is not being driven by what value the labor produces but rather by the capital or profits it produces? I understand many services such as restaurants and personal service like salons are things we desire and don't need or deem essential and that desire makes sense to me but what is actually driving that desire and how we establish that worth to ourselves? Take sports for example what motivates people to spend thousands of dollars to watch 10 guys run up and down the a 94' wooden floor trying to throw a ball through a hoop but spending over $240 to feed a family of 6 $40/head is considered an extravagance? More importantly if both could be done better by machines (faster and cheaper) and we still rewarded the replaced laborers adequately why is that unacceptable?</br>It's almost like where on a wheel running to get someplace but we just end up spinning the wheel throwing off resources someone else is gathering!</br></br>Interesting power dynamic at work in the economy right now...What happens when you're forced to scale back to just what you need versus what you believe you want? How much do you miss what? Who is most affected by the draw down? Who does it scare the most? If you didn't have to run the treadmill to survive would you be more or less happy? Hw much do you really miss the satisfaction of work? Good time to think about that!</br></br>To salvage the work when machines are more productive than humans you must redefine value. </br># Move away from defining the 'best' job as being the most profitable and efficient job. Looking back how many folks see the box building introduced in the 60s as being the pinnacle of human architecture. While they were the most efficient and provided the least space they were not the most livable. As in A Timeless Way of Building we have to reintroduce human specifications and art into our daily lives. Folks don't live and work in Firenzi because it's efficient.</br># We have to loosen the specifications on things so that all items, including people, are not FRUs (Field Replaceable Units). New electric cars for example should be upgradable in place as better batteries and computers come about and certainly the WinTel 18 month recyle money machine needs to be replaced with the Opensource refresh and upgrade cycle. Linux still runs effectively on 386 machines.</br># Finally we need to move to a service model employing machines to provide the best quality of life for the most people. The discord, inevitable from shrinking resources and growing population, can no longer be bottled up militarily. We need to move to a world where everyone is entitled to food, housing, health and education and they earn greater benefits by working to increase the abundance for all. Any occupation looking to hoard benefits for a few, like hedge funds, should be relegared to a utility while occupations like farming, teaching, building and nursing should be elevated., building and nursing should be elevated.)

To break the rut I started 2 days ago picking up where I left off in the '''Song of Songs''' and I'm trying to read a few chapters a week but it's proving tough.</br></br>From the sheer boredom of the begat(s) in at the start of Numbers to the different interpretations introduced with every translation it's a slow slog.</br></br>Did you know the ''soul'' and separation of body and soul was introduced with the translation to Greek after the conquest of the Jews by Alexander the Great and not in the original Hebrew? the Great and not in the original Hebrew?)
