because people don't have a name/reputation, they must establish social clout in other ways. On /tv/ they demonstrate superiority through heavy irony and memeing. On /v/, the indicator of superiority is disdain for normalfag games and enjoying things in general. On /lit/ the indicator is prose, and generally sounding academic. While the occasional well-worded post on /tv/ will get some appreciative (you)s, only on /lit/ does that effort actually translate into respect and an increased chance of people actually interacting with your post. I think this is also tied to why /lit/ is more tolerant of namefags than other boards, but I'm not totally sure yet. I do know that this makes /lit/ one of the more reddit boards, although more like a small reddit than /v/, which is like a large shitposting reddit

My advice to you is to read the Greeks if you already haven't, and other older philosophers. Philosophy can be thought of as a progression of ideas and dialectic debate, which seeks truth. As a result, basically every philosopher who has ever existed has based their work on their predecessor's, the entire chain of which comes from the ideas from the Greeks. All modern philosophy is partially based on their ideas, therefore it's valid.

You're forgetting that the opinions espoused by philosophers need to be based in logic or reason. Anyone writing that about Nietzsche does not have any logic in their reasoning (see logos vs ethos).

First, /biz/ is mostly broke af larpers. Second, even if that weren't the case, it's not like anyone in /biz/ is consciously trying to affect the world in their desired way. They are just a collective, and any individual who is a part of that collective is essentially worthless as a result. For example, if I support some dictator who changes the world, did I really change the world as well? I would doubt it because I'd just be a sheep follower. So I guess you can argue that /biz/ as a collective has more impact on the world than /lit/, but again, is influencing global markets in unpredictable ways really changing the world in a meaningful way? It just encourages more of the same accelerationist shit that has already been going on for years.

>> No.13122385

Firstly, it's not unpredictable. Bitcoin is clearly anti-globohomo neoliberalism currency. Just by participating in the trade, you're weakening IMF's control over global trade. The effects have been predictable: Iran and North Korea are using it to bypass Swift network as expected. China and Russia are stockpiling it for geopolitical purposes.

Ethereum smart contracts solve this problem.

>> No.13123363

Correct me if I am wrong, but a smart contract is basically a contract that can never be broken as it is in the code itself, correct? I don't see how such a thing prevents companies from exploiting workers as they do now. Companies exploit people through the system itself, debt slavery is only a small part of it. In order to develop something like quantum computing for example, we need to incorporate various aspects of society together. Universities have to work with private companies and governments, banks etc. In our case the private corporation acts as the main source of leadership in this, and therefore has power over how the technology develops and influences society, which they will surely manipulate to serve their own interests and secure more power. They will decide what jobs are needed or not. How does Ethereum contracts prevent such a thing? The main reason Marxism fails is that securing the means of production (aka decentralizing power amongst the people) isn't possible so long as technology isn't controlled by the people as well. How would Ethereum contracts allow technology itself to be controlled by the people? Otherwise Marxism will inevitably devolve into large social programs granted by a central power, which is what I was getting at earlier.

The code is the system itself. There is no need for capitalists and managerial class when the contracts can handle the logistics of management and client requests.

My vision is a guild system on ethereum. There would be guild contract for a specific field. Then, the clients would submit the request on a transparent blockchain and the guild members would be able to choose to take or not take the job. The contract wouldn't take any cut. It just does its organizing as the code. The requests are transparent so that the capitalists can't create false consciousness and divide and conquer the workers.

The guilds would handle the education as well and replacing the modern university and degree system with Erc-721 token.

That's an interesting idea, but where does that leave something like quantum computing? There can't be a guild for fundamental research in such a field, or does such large scale research never happen in such a system? A guild can do their own small scale research still, but it probably wouldn't be enough. In many ways if such a system can't develop quantum computing they may be considered a good thing.

Why do you think that there can't be a quantum computing guild? If a guild needs skills from different field, then they can submit a request to relevant guilds to get it done.

I'm also curious why you consider not developing quantum computing a good thing.

It isn't that quantum computing is a bad thing in and of itself, its that companies like Google and governments like China can become even more oppressive than they actually are, and I'm just fearful of that fact. China in particular can become exceptionally powerful with this technology, as they will be much more quick to use it on their own people. Regardless, I don't see a quantum computing guild becoming a thing because it is in the fundamental research phase. Like some doctors who might be interested in using quantum computing and machine learning to diagnose patients would not get enough out of it to warrant such a large investment from their guild. You would have to bring together multiple guilds to create a consortium in order to raise the funds, but then you would just be centralizing power again.

Sort of gets into my idea that technology invariably consolidates power because it requires multiple groups to work together under one banner.

It starts out like that, sure. But as the quantum computing guild is funded by multiple smaller guilds, all the guilds funding will eventual begin to rely on the quantum computer guild's technology in order to operate. This grants that guild power over all the smaller guilds that rely on it. It begins to consolidate power, and as new technologies are developed it will consolidate more in a similar fashion.

Imagine that same doctor's guild begins to use quantum computing to conduct all diagnoses and treatments, meaning only a handful of doctors are needed. At that point the quantum computing guild effectively becomes the doctor's guild and becomes more powerful.

Firstly, quantum computation is only better than classical computation for a specific set of problems.

However, I do take your point. Some guilds will be bigger than other guilds and be more powerful. This power will create an imbalance and so on.

I need to dwell on this more unfortunately.

I've actually been thinking about neo-feudalism lately, and the concept of guilds you lay out is certainly relatable, albeit from a Marxist standpoint. I don't even know where to begin when it comes to designing and figuring out a neo-feudalism system, so I need to dwell as well. Feudalism, despite its oppressive nature and despite contrary belief, actually decentralizes power extremely well.

>> No.13123769

>>13123735
I would first say that the neo-feudalism I'm talking about is different from what others describe. I've heard peak capitalist societies described as "feudal", which I understand why they are calling it that, but I'm talking about neo-feudalism as a complete reimagining of society, the economy, and the government. As for preferred people who talk about such things, I don't have much. There are some people in the dark enlightenment or NRx who advocate monarchies or corporate feudalism, but they don't adequately address my own concerns and goals with such a system, and tend to be much more authoritative than they should be. That's why I'm literally starting with the Greeks and working my way through time to help develop my own unique system, which will admittedly probably get nowhere, but I'd rather support my own esoteric system than some else's.

I'm currently thinking that a sort of neo-theocracy has to be developed out of nihilism, but I don't even know where to begin in analyzing this idea. Imagine a priest class that ruled society, but said priest class had holy commandments that prevented them from having too much power. They would live in relative isolation with little to no processions. They would have no lovers or money. They solely exist for the benefit of other people and society. This is of course a pipe-dream, but I plan to build it more thoroughly.
