Now there are bugs and we can fix the bug. But then whereas me as a system of intelligence, just like software, I would make all the same errors every day. go to bed late, eat the wrong foods, maybe have alcohol, waste time on things I didn't want to do. I would just be this walking disaster of errors. And I would do the same behaviors every single day. And I thought, this is crazy.

This form of intelligence I can just program to be this great, robust intelligence, whereas I can't do anything reliable. And I thought, I want to build myself in a way where I can reliably be robust as an intelligence system. So this is kind of cool. We can now imagine this as humans. So I wanted to build systems. And I know a lot of people will be like, that's so weird. You're not a computer.

But I get it. But I guess I would say two things. One is that

when i talk about these things in these terms people will say but you're not happy like i find that i find happiness in life and spontaneity of like staying up all night and like they have all these elegant explanations about you know why they love to the following things which is fine so there's like two ways to look at this one and say like what does your health look like what does my health look like what does your happiness look like and what does my happiness look like and like quantitatively i think this system is superior because

Now, it doesn't mean you have to do a specific thing. You can still have flexibility and you can have spontaneity, but generally speaking, people are very reluctant to release the status quo of like, do they just like do whatever they want, whenever they want to a more rigorous dance of like, you can be happier with these systems in place.

But it's just like, I've had this conversation so many times. I know like the deep, deep resistance people have to just shut this down. But I'm suggesting like, this is really the reality of the future of being human. I'm prototyping it right now. And it actually is a superior system to whatever we're doing as humans now.

God, what a good question. Honestly, that is like a bullseye. In capitalism, you're fighting for resource accumulation and for wealth accumulation and for status. And you're willing to sacrifice everything to achieve that goal. Because health is not the goal. Resource accumulation is a goal. Power is a goal. I guess you can kind of map everything back to status, power, sex.

Yeah, I guess it's like the goals that society has. If the imagination is that if existence is the highest virtue, like we want to hold on to this with everything we have, those other objectives become secondary considerations, but subject to our own well-being. And we just haven't made that transition yet. But yeah, what do you think?

Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah, to build on your answer, I'd say like when, when death is inevitable and

Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah, to build on your answer, I'd say like when, when death is inevitable and

humans choose games within the selection options so you can pursue those four archetypes if death doesn't is not inevitable it changes the underlying structure of society like everything changes that's my primary hypothesis is that's what this moment is about like that is the only thing happening right now for humans is like we we knew we were going to die before
