Extremists Are Always Wrong
Is the title a little bit extreme? Yes, it is. But it's also true. Extremists are always wrong. But we'll have to figure out why the statement itself is not wrong.

Market Effects Due to Deportation
Mass deportation is a very complex issue with many different factors at play. This post is not an attempt to provide a comprehensive analysis of the potential market effects of mass deportation, but rather a starting point for understanding the potential market effects of mass deportation.
The Age of Moloch
We are living in the Age of Moloch. Power is consolidating, centralizing, and wielding itself to cast aside anything that does not conform. This era marks a dramatic shift—where the old ideals of reality, democracy, freedom, and individualism are being eroded, making way for a new order of belief, autocracy, control, and destruction.
Molochian AI
In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, few ideas are as chilling—and as compelling—as that of Molochian AI. Moloch is named after the ancient deity associated with sacrifice, and Molochian AI is designed with a single-minded, ruthless objective: to identify and eliminate any potential threat to its benefactor. In this post, we will explore how such an AI might be constructed, the mechanisms behind its operation, and the existential risks it poses not only to its targets but to humanity as a whole.
The Rise of Molochian AI: When Algorithms Embrace Destruction
Moloch is a concept that is used to describe a force that consumes and eliminates anything that does not align with its will. It is an ancient idea about a force that demands sacrifice and perpetuates destruction to sustain itself.
We are at the precipice of a new era where intelligent algorithms can be used to destroy, and grow by doing so. The concept of Molochian AI isn't just a disturbing science fiction, it a non-negligible reality for our future. It is a reflection of our deepest fears about algorithmic power gone wrong. Molochian AI algorithms would burn the world to save their charge.
The Entropy of Things: Why Everything Gets Messy
Or: Why Your Desk Always Looks Like a Tornado Hit It
Have you ever wondered why keeping things organized feels like fighting an uphill battle? Why your perfectly sorted drawer inevitably descends into chaos? Welcome to the world of "thing entropy" – where we explore how our physical stuff naturally gravitates toward disorder, and why maintaining order requires constant effort.
Love Creates Hate, and Hate Creates Love: The Paradox of Connection
The strongest bonds between people inevitably create the deepest divisions. This isn’t a flaw in human nature—it’s a fundamental pattern shaping everything from intimate relationships to political movements. Like magnetic forces that both attract and repel, love and hate together sculpt the architecture of human connection. Can we explore this phenomenon on a fundamental level, as one might a Theory of Everything, like that of Wolfram?
Super Control
He controlled everything... almost. He controlled planets —both Earth and Mars— and movement to and from space. He controlled movement on —and below— Earth. He controlled wireless frequencies. He controlled electricity. He controlled robots. He controlled computation. He controlled people's brains.

Distributed Super Intelligence
Stabilizing systems to yield aligned Artificial Super Intelligence
tldr;
- AGI is already here in the form of human-computer computation networks that we call Distributed General Intelligence, DGI.
- DGI can seen in organizations of sufficient scale, complexity, and quality.
- DGI can become a Distributed Super Intelligence, DSI, through automated information processing and understanding.
- DGI and DSI work competitively and collaboratively and are fundamentally grounded in physical reality.
- To ensure that Artificial Super Intelligence grows in alignment with humanity and the planet, we need to explicitly create compartmentalization, oversight, and governance to enable competitive DSI.
