just thinking again about chaos and + Jaron Lanier and his new book, Who Owns the Future. I am sure you know I am not a scientist or I would not think this way. It occurs to me that algorithms can not control chaos, nor can we, as the frequent swings in the market and the economy show us... I listen to incredibly beautiful music...which comes from chaos ....so why are we trying to change nature? Chaos is beautiful, is part of nature, it is what makes the world tick, the cycles of nature are chaotic...warm and cold periods in our climate thru the centuries, the glory of the birthing of icebergs, the Artic summer, the Northern Lights, sunspots and more.. Maybe the algorithms can't control chaos, but the music chaos produces might be the answer to why we should let it be, and learn to live with it, rather than to try and change it, maybe the music of chaos will help us understand chaos better..?.
How can we live with chaos and even out society which seems to be the goal that is causing us to try to change the mechanism of the world, according to Jaron Lanier on Book TV? Wow! that is a powerful statement....Maybe we have to rethink our goal? Jaron has the ability to think positive...he is a wonderful thinker, hope I can get him off the negative approach of restrains and to the positive approach....with my ramblings...
Can we ever even out society that is full of chaos, with people of varying skills and thought processes etc.? Should we do an algorithm first to level off the chaos between each individual in the world before we try and control the algorithms of the chaos they produce? I think so...this elephant might not go down!
Has anyone figured out how much we have accomplished in the 100 years we have been in the Age of OIL? That too is a powerful statement....what has the Age of OIL made possible for mankind? Would mankind be better served if we let chaos lead us to the future, as it has done through out history? Just think of the strides we have made to even out society in our country, with the advent of the Age of Oil, in such a short time. My Dad , one little everyman example, came to America as many immigrants did near the turn of the century, from a one or two room home with 4-5 or more people , no electricity, no central heat, no personal transportation, just a goat that helped them earn a living,when he sold it's milk door to door as a small boy.
In the America of 1916 when he touched our shores.......Oh ! how the world changed for my Dad and his family....just think about the instant improvement in lives, manufacturing was producing jobs, cars began to take the place of horses and carriages, medicine was improving and the Wow!.... opportunity to move into a home where you had a bedroom of your own!
Chaos and competition.....stirred the oil industry....and as soon as the Baron of oil got too big, the government immediately began to think of ways to restrain him and in that instant he thought of ways to beat the competition and the government....read, The Prize...
Imagine how the Ark of the Covenant shocked and changed the battlegrounds of the past, when it shot out its magic (nuclear?) rays. Many of us are aware that there is a spontaneous combustion in the desert sand. Could this have been the weapon in the Ark that killed everyone around it? An invention of man that leveled the playing field, or did it control the playing field? Doesn't competition level the playing field?
Think once more beyond trying to level the playing field thru conquering chaos, and imagine the business world, where we actually make it easier for the giants to survive and take more of the money. How do we do it?...By making it harder through restrains, taxes,regulations, fees, applications, delays , hearings and all the stuff we pile on to a new business venture. By the time the new business gets started it is behind the 8 ball. Even existing businesses are regulated to death or near death, so that jobs are constrained by the lack of ability of businesses to use their spare capital to grow. The purpose of a business is to grow, just as humans grow, to expand, to make jobs, to create and satisfy the public with their needs....otherwise there is no point in having a business.
Chaos that is created in Washington is where the problem is....its time to evaluate all the rules and regulations, taxing strategies, and other constrains on ideas that create new businesses and competition. Lets do some algorithms on restrains on business? Whoopie, I hope someone that thinks algorithms is reading this....help this country....get out from under!
Our country became great when men and women with ideas were allowed to develop them without these crushing restrains . Each new business creates jobs, and each of us has an obligation to climb the ladder...doing so, we make room for those behind us. This is how jobs are created . Happiness is having a job, a career, something to point to as a life of productive worth, restraining the winners, costs jobs, so compete with them!
For my humble opinion, I like to work toward the positive and not the negative. More good things happen with that approach, rather than worrying about how much Facebook is earning, or how much Google is earning,and how we can spread the wealth by restraining them. Let's open the doors to competition and watch the chaos evolve, LET IT HAPPEN! Hmmm, maybe we will create jobs and magically the middle class will again improve as it did in the 50's.
My life with my hardworking immigrant Dad, was idyllic. He even took two jobs so he would have the money to start his own business. That is still what America is all about, but we are doing a good job of squashing it......We are killing the elephant !But then.....what do I know....its a confusing world!
