Direct Luminosity

We don't have time to feel guilty for being propagandized, nor do we have a right to sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. Every moment we grieve over wasted time is another moment of suffering on this Earth.

An economy is activity production, exchange, distribution, consumption. Ownership is a legal claim. If you own everything and do nothing, there is no economy. There is only a hoard. Anyone who says otherwise is either confused or benefiting from the confusion.

Because taxation is a capitalist mechanism. It redistributes value after it's been extracted. Socialists want to change the extraction itself democratize the workplace, socialize the assets that produce value, so there's no need to tax the rich because no one is siphoning value in the first place.

It's a process that compels production and accumulation. It runs. It expands. It transforms. But it only runs if there is motion and motion requires either incentive.

Capitalism is an engine. It needs governors either taxes or democratized ownership or it will overheat, stall, or produce things that diminish us.

History proves that high taxes on the rich can drive the engine, not stop it. And socialists are right that the ultimate solution is not to tax the rich, but to abolish the extraction that makes taxation necessary.

If the post World War II compromise were restored, most of today's socialists would disappear because they're not socialists by conviction. They're socialists by circumstance.

The ones who stay are the ones who are anti-extraction and anti-imperialism those are the real socialists. And they're not going anywhere, because their critique is structural, not material.

They'd set up this metaverse where you'd have like an AI Agent named Susan, who gets hungry and buys a virtual burger and a virtual hand bag to hold her virtual keys for her virtual car that she uses to drive to her virtual job which is basically just Mining Crypto.

1984 is NOT coming. It’s more like the tools are finally becoming refined enough to match the intention. Like, it's not just an idea anymore the technology is making the surveillance and the enforcement actually practical and pervasive.

You attacked a country in 1987, and the terrorist organization in question was formed in response to that attack. Throughout the 1990s & early 2000s, you‘ve spent your time reviving that organization and arming them in order to weaken a government. But then, the terrorist organization attacked you.

That came back to bite you, & your response was that “You have the right to defend yourself”. Yet instead of attacking the organization YOU created, you attacked civilians.

Let's talk about why "fascist" is the wrong lens for Israel and why "Nazi" (philosophically and functionally, not historically) is actually closer.

Israel the ethnostate operates on the second logic. Palestinians cannot earn their way into belonging. Not through service, not through loyalty, not through "sucking up." The door is philosophically shut. That's not fascism. That's ethnic essentialism.

Italian Fascism was voluntarist. You had to prove your worth through sacrifice, loyalty, and service to the state. The outgroup were the "cowards" who refused to play the game. In theory, anyone could join if they fought hard enough.

[Theory Crafting] How would Luminosity deal with scarcity under a philosophical communism framework when objects are scarce, and it is impossible to give everyone an equal amount? I've run through all the variables and have come up with a cohesive solution. Here is what I've found.

But for specialty items that can't be made abundant, unfairness is inevitable. Destroying them just makes everyone unhappy, so we might as well pick the allocation system that does the least social damage.

I'm not gonna take a leftist position here and tell you all wealthy people are a problem or anything. I'll leave that for you to decide yourselves, however if one in five poor people where psychopaths the average American would say they are to dangerous to be around.

The public expects that when Democrats get back into power, there will finally be a real investigation into the Epstein files. That expectation is going to collide rather painfully with reality. Once it becomes obvious that they aren't going to do it either, what happens then?

I wonder what the common ground Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner sat down to talk about what do you think it was? “foreign policy“ perhaps this guy needs to be voted out expeditiously.
