Eripsa why don't you actually respond to the question of 'why is this necessary or beneficial in any way' instead of using rhetorical tricks to dodge it? And as general advice you should probably answer that question to yourself every time you come up with a hare-brained techno-fetishist utopian pipe dream.

RealityApologist posted:I'm happy to answer serious questions about this work. It's really important to me, and I've been fielding questions all over the internet about it almost continuously since I posted the proposal. I don't know, I think "what pressing real world problem does this incredibly convoluted idea lifted straight out of a speculative sci-fi novel solve" is a reasonable question, but that's just me...

Does someone have the backstory for Eripsa's AV? I'm mildly curious

Concerned Citizen posted:I'm going to be the devil's advocate here a little bit, so bear with me. There are people smarter than you with regards to economics, they're called economists. As far as I'm aware they prefer things like taxes and accounting to paradigm-changing crytocurrencies.

RealityApologist posted:Traditional economics is like alchemy, and I'm like one of the early chemists before the periodic table or anything else was developed but who has a pretty good sense that alchemy is just bad methodology and that there's an alternative science just around the corner. And you all are like "but why should I believe in the atom" as if I'm heretical for suggesting alchemy needs some updating, and there's honestly nothing I can say to satisfy the lot of you. The only thing I can do is be earnest and try my best. It's never good enough, but I can't reasonably expect anything more. holy poo poo i can't breathe send help

I dunno I don't think Eripsa is dumb per se, just delusional and 100% invested in the type of techno-fetishist thinking discussed in that other thread recently.

RealityApologist posted:The consensus of the forum seems to be that if you aren't an expert then you shouldn't say anything. People are coming out to proudly admit how little they know about anything but their specific technical field, and admit to being clueless about how it fits in with the rest of science as if it is something to be proud of. I don't understand this sentiment at all. No the consensus of this forum is that your idea about the attention economy is very nearly incoherent, is definitely impossible to implement, and more importantly, solves no real world problem, seems to have no real benefits whatsoever, and generally reeks of techno-fetishist utopianism. Even if this is a thought experiment or whatever, you still haven't convinced anyone why this is actually worthwhile in any way or what problem it solves. What's the point of the marble economy? What I've gotten from your posts is that you think social networking and making relationships through technology is valuable, so we should encode that information into money, but that's not even an obvious statement. icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Apr 2, 2014 |
