We need a stand in for labor and work, as a credit to hold a place and keep records of debts. In ancient times this could be preserved foods, or gold and silver, or sand dollars. But now it's dollar bills. And this money is the product of a company called the Federal Reserve. And this reserve prints money as their product--like Coca-Cola makes Coke--and they sell it to the bank at interest, and the bank then lends money to their customers, at interest, and accumulates interest in Savings Accounts, which then pay for the money that the Federal Reserve lended. Also, this money--which is a place holder--pays debts to other countries for goods and services, and this debt is kept on record, as a debt owed to those other Countries or Private Entities, in the forms of money, which gets used to pay for goods and services. And when we pay taxes, a portion of our money gets collected, and gets used to pay a portion of that debt. And we can run a deficit or surplus, of taxes collected by the Federal, State and Local government. And a deficit means the government spends more than it collects in taxes. And a surplus means it spends more. And debt, is how much accumulated deficit is collected over many years, and a surplus removes that debt, and if you collect a surplus in excess of your debt, your government then runs a surplus, which nearly never happens in human history. Also, this money can be a stand in for debts owed to private entities, like Banks or debts for goods and services like what you buy at the grocery store. And when you owe more money than you make, like the government, that creates debts, which needs to be paid back to that entity, so they can also make a living too. Also, you use it to buy things. As, if you didn't do this, stores would run out of stuff to sell, and there'd be problems with rationing because everyone would take more than they produced, and would cause a decrease in the living standards of our country. Some people, their goods they sell are art and entertainment, and others it's information, and others it's labor whether intellectual or physical, others it's logistics, others its producing raw materials, others its assembling and making use of those raw materials. And that gets paid with money, which is a stand in for labor and work, as a credit to hold a place and keep records of debts. Because if you didn't have a stand in for labor or work, you'd work and never truly have compensation. It'd all have to be paid for immediately, which used to be called a Bartering System, which still happens in a Free Market, but money is the main mode of commerce. Also, stocks are a thing. I should point out, that stocks are publicly traded debts, that private people buy and sell, and they fluctuate with the company's value, and are like a loan to the company, where the buyer intends on growing his wealth with the company, and when the company is failing, they sell their debts for what a buyer is willing to pay for it, and the buyer buys the debts for what they're willing to pay for them, which I think is regulated by the Market. And some stocks pay a dividend, or a small portion out to their debtors, to encourage them to buy their stocks in large volumes.

I think, people aren't meant to do this kind of stuff. We're meant to grow things in soil, and build things, and dig, and hunt, and gather. Mostly, I think that's the major issue here. It's just unnatural. Which, with AI, we're going to actually have to be forced back into that kind of craft economy, where most work is the creation of objects, or gardening and farming. Economies will have to be local again, and not large corporations. Instead of Nike, you'll have a local cobbler, or instead of Abercrombie and Fitch, you'll have a local tailor. What's different, is that we have very advanced logistics, that can bring someone's product from California to Ethiopia if we wanted to in under a week, and that will only get faster. That's where the real money would come from, and whoever had the logistics or warehouses would be on top. Which, those would be automated. But most people need to feel a part of their company, and the Corporate mindset turned it into a cult, but generally, the local business should be more like a community: that's what people need.

It's weird, but I just don't believe Corporate America is what makes people happy. Just the commute alone, of driving 45 minutes or more a day, and then being regimented every second and not allowed to make autonomous decisions, or really have any ownership or onus over the products. That's kind of why this is happening.

You know a chapter a day, a poem a day, an essay a day, a short story a day, it does wonders. Most of them are about 5 pages, or 2,000 words or less. I think people are going to start consuming shorter works, like Short Stories and Personal Essays and Poetry. Because when I read, I can't really get through a whole lot, but I take it in chunks, you read 1 chapter or essay or poem or short story a day, that's 365 chapters, essays, poems, or short stories, and that's about 360,000 words a year. Which is about 5 books a year.

To give you another example, I will read a chapter from a book, and might read that book over 10 years. My memory gets refreshed as I pick it up again, and I can start from that basis. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, or The Prince and the Pauper--two of my favorites now--have been read by me for about 10 years now. Brother's Karamazov, also. Sometimes, like the Wizard of Oz, I just read the whole novel in a few days. Or Animal Farm I read in one sitting. Boethius, I read a chapter a day, and left the last chapter till now. I started him in December last year. Descartes, also, the Discourse on the Method, have been reading a little bit here and there. I might read a story from Egyptian Mythology, or read over Ptahhotep again; might read a dozen chapters of the Bible--that I fly through because I'm very familiar with it. Might read a poem, and do a deep analysis of it.

Another thing, I don't particularly like reading. I just read for wisdom. It's not my favorite activity. I'd rather listen to a video essay for 20 minutes, and break it into two segments, than read a novel. Unless I go into the flow.

I actually relate to this. I was in Jail, I read To Kill a Mockingbird, War and Peace and the Bible. I read War and Peace twice. Loved every minute of it. To Kill a Mockingbird I read three times. The Bible I read along with a Radio Ministry called Through the Bible with Jay Vernon McGee.

But, even now, I'm the same. I just learn obsessively. Something I want cracked, I think about it--I'm a little slower than other people, but can focus like a laser--and I don't stop until I understand it. I listen to teachers--YouTube videos--read books, take notes in the form of poems and stories. And I have a very accurate metacognition that will scan my work for faults.

I had a similar idea to this, but it was much different. Kind of an alien invasion, where a super race of Extra Terrestrial Terrans--who are smarter, stronger, and more beautiful--come to Earth, and take it over. And I would have one of their families who shipwrecked on Earth, but they never told their children, and the child grew up among us, and was super beautiful. And she had to stop them. Kind of like a Superman sort of deal, you know? But, they're just smarter, better looking, and stronger. Like, they can grow muscle fast, they have a mean IQ of 150--that's the middle of their bell curve--and they're super beautiful, and also very coordinated as is what happens in upper echelons of intelligence. But, they hate our earth because our people aren't smart enough to understand the objectivity of mathematics, or understand the objectivity of ethics. It'd be a cleansing of them because they're too stupid to understand morality, science, aesthetics or law. And they sent sages to the Earth, to test them to see if we were advanced enough. And we failed. But, she has to prove to them that humanity has intrinsic value, even if they're too dumb to understand morality, aesthetics and truth. The whole conflict would be around habitable worlds, that it's a lot of resources to make a world habitable for humanity, and if we advance too far, we could destroy an entire planet, and that would be the Terran's reason for doing it. There'd be all the races in the Terran forces, as they advanced beyond racism, but they'd just be more beautiful, and the racism would be against ugly people as there'd be a way to determine intelligence based on facial features and muscle and bone density, which are metrics for beauty. And the protagonist is only 172IQ. About one standard deviation above the norm for her race, so equivalent to a 120 IQ.

That's not true. We didn't make up mathematics. Mathematics are a language, that describe the way the world works. Yes, the language is made up, but the things they describe aren't. Like any language, it requires context to fully understand, and through context we describe the real world. Math is also a form of logic, and like language, there's true and false statements and valid and invalid methods of reasoning to further principles. A math problem, that relates to no context, is like a novel, that it's fictitious, but still the logic works, and is proven to work.

So, if I have a pair of glasses, I have one frame, two lenses, two earplacers, four screws, and two nose rests, and two arms.

All together, that would be like this:

1(x)=1+2+2+4+2+2

If I'm talking about the the number of individual sets of components it's:

1(x)=1+1/2(2)+1/2(2)+1/4(4)+1/2(2)+1/2(2)

If I want to take the screws as two sets it's:

1(x)=1+1/2(2)+1/2(2)+1/2(4)+1/2(2)+1/2(2)

So forth. That's how set theory ought to work.

If multiplying it by two pairs of glasses, you just do this

2(x)=(1+2+2+4+2+2)2

If you want to combine sets it's just:

1(x)=1+1/2(2)+[(2+4)/(2+4)]+1/2(2)+1/2(2)
