The issues are not authoritarian at all. The issues are software applications that are being implemented using business practices that are totally unethical. Companies like Facebook etal deserve to be eaten alive by competition that can easily take over. FB is terrible. Tesla is terrible. They are totally dishonest companies, with no legitimacy to stand on. Google is just as corrupt, as exemplified by its leadership. The strategies and supports by the Rand Corp. etc. are not inherently bad at all. It is unfortunately the bad implementation by bad leadership that is making the present platforms bad. The problem is not AI. The problem is not even China, or even Muslim authoritarianism. etc.etc.



China has one of the largest populations worldwide. Any governmental team that can turn around a society in the short-term historically that China has accomplished is a phenomenal feat. Brutal, yes. Is Western society any less brutal??? If there were any integrity by male international political leadership, there would be a trend towards "betterment" of laws and society. Has Western society played some great role as world benefactor? Not hardly. In fact, only very hardly!



Until the global software application platforms start recognizing their short effective lifetime, all the leadership of those companies are, only very effective thieves of global wealth. Their thievery is short-term or long-term. The longer that the long-term thievery continues, then the more destructive results for every aspect of survival for all lifeforms on the planet earth. A few can either make wise choices or terrible choices. So far, the powerful few are making the worst choices imaginable. They very unwittingly don't realize how they are effectively endangering themselves more than the masses of the global population.



The more you support the dysfunctional destructive talking points and their corporate goals based on such bad and unethical business strategy, the more you are effectively supporting the very destruction that you are advertising that you are against. Stop the propaganda maneuvering. That's all you are trying to accomplish. To be blunt: and it's a pretty piss poor attempt at propaganda strategy.



I included a link to Roubini with that little archaeological group from France- that's the starting point to change the dynamics, by using an archeological tool from the 4th century. It would be quite easy for an innovative 3-D printing company to start manufacturing. ETC. ETC. ETC.



fill in the blanks:



this is complex and valid militaristic strategy. It is valid. It needs to be implemented through proper software applications, and community functional dynamic platforms, within functional community telecommunication network systems. This link should be a little bit revealing about propaganda strategizing and the RAND CORP. Again, it is not necessarily bad.

Transparency commitments and obligations need to be community based, not based in the profit motives and personal intent of a powerful few. Of course, that is exactly what you don't want, because then you lose your financial prestige, and control. You- in the generic sense- do NOT deserve it. None of You- again in the generic sense deserve it. It is not your right. It is not your privilege. YOU are just like any other Joe walking down any street that can get knifed, or shot, or slaughtered by any other Joe walking down the street. You just don't want to be included with any rank and file any where on the planet. Unfortunately, or fortunately you are. The "fortunately" is not based on your ability to control access to survival tools, which in 2019 is really only monetized transactional publicly acknowledged receipts of debt, by and really to everyone else on the planet.

That link about the Chinese social "credit" system is not corrupt. It may not be fun. But it sure is going to keep people like the top 1% toeing the line. The problem is in the implementation of the system by the Chinese political hierarchy. If it is corrupted, it will be corrupt. Then, there will be an increasing number of elite within that system that is "exempt" from any civil obligations. That is just as bad, as FB etc. etc. etc. The game is just as good as the game strategy that has been utilized to play the game. Are you a good chess player, or an under-handed dealer? For the most part, corporate entities today are only under-handed dealers. The chess game got thrown out with the baby a long time ago.



If you corrupt the implementation of the process, the result is a corrupt process. It's pretty BASIC.



The sad fact is that the present political positions globally should not be PAID positions. They are NON-ESSENTIAL, even more NON-ESSENTIAL than the lower paying positions that are being eliminated. The sad fact is that the present CEO positions should NOT be paid at such disproportionate levels. None of these positions deserve to be positions of greater theft, because the thieves can get away with it, just because they can. There is a basic level of RIGHT and WRONG. If you want to cross all of those levels; If you want to deny those levels of RIGHT and WRONG as not relevant, and do not apply, then fine, you get the corruption that you are participating in by your choices.



You will be the one to ultimately suffer. I am fighting you. I am telling you, that you are wrong. I am telling you that I do not believe you. There are no open societies. There are cultures that have developed over generations. There are many different kinds of societies, and states. They are location based. There is no one great open egalitarian society, where everyone is a pie-in-the-sky-animated cartoon. Quite selling fantasy land. Address the real issues of buying and selling land, water lines, sewers, fiber-optic infrastructures etc. etc. Quit selling some free-love game that is not a free-love game, it is a dirty corrupting game. OK, so you tried and got your ego attacked. You aren't stupid. Quit playing the oh-woe-is-me scenario. You are more than a big boy in the neighborhood. Do some real redevelopment somewhere. Roll up your shirt sleeves and find a shovel.Dig a latrine somewhere for someone who can use it.



In other words, you need to put your money in to others hands without telling anybody what they have to do with it. Especially, if you never deserved the money to begin with, because you have not earned the money. What can you actually do? What can you actually do for yourself? Can you raise your own food? Do you even know how to germinate a seed? Do you even know what seed will even germinate? ETC. ETC. ETC. How many judges have you manipulated to do your bidding?



Bottomline, start being honest. Your Open Society Foundations do not have the right to replace local governments. You are an independent sovereign living above and exempt of any national or international laws that is assuming the right to over-rule people, and state governments. You are an elite doing what the hell you want, at the expense of everyone else, because you think you are an exceptional human being, and everyone else is the scum of the earth and should kiss your feet.



I very much doubt if you even wrote the article that is posted on PS.org.
