Invest in venus flytraps. They’re very loyal pets.

Everyone must serve. No elections. Every position has a term limit. The current administration is responsible to select their replacements via a double blind selection process that only provides information relevant to experience and knowledge, capabilities.

Sounds pretty much like a Technocracy, with the double blind bit to reduce selection bias. Not a bad idea.

Double blind is great in science where a finite and known set of variables are being tested.

Real life policy-making does not have the benefit of involving a finite and known set of variables.

Generally speaking, I think it’s important to understand the distinction between a logical calculation of a finite (hence calculable) system, versus the phenomenological reality of navigation in the world, which by its nature always involves more information than one can be capable of articulating.

Sorry if that sounds eggheadish. I don’t know how to say it otherwise without expanding it into a huge wall of text.

Beyond the known and articulated, there is the known and unarticulated. For example “How to make cookies” can be conveyed in finite words (a recipe), but “How to catch a baseball” can be conveyed only through practice.

Systems such as you’re describing are good for handling articulated competency, such as the cookie recipe. But I fear that “making good decisions about what to do” isn’t something that can be conveyed merely in words.

This seems to me to be related to the idea of a “double blind” scenario, in that in order to “blind” the parties one needs to know what information is valid to consider and what information isn’t.

Decoupling from the West isn’t the economic death sentence it used to be. This gives me hope that one day GCC economies might do the same.

Amusingly, we’re seeing history on repeat here. In the early 20th century, while western economies were becoming increasingly intertwined, the Soviet Union stood apart. As the sole communist state, its trade connections with the capitalist world were minimal. When the Great Depression struck, closely linked economies of the capitalist countries suffered devastating blows, while the Soviet Union’s closed system largely shielded it from the crisis.

In fact, one could argue that the depression even benefited the USSR. Desperate times in the West created a unique labor pool for the Soviets. To fuel their ambitious industrialization plans, they recruited skilled workers, especially from the USA. Engineers, farmers, and industrialists flocked to the USSR, in search of opportunity.

Always loved this boss. Volvagia was my favorite, but this one was a close second. Hated the dungeon, though.

It seems like 2/3 other images from this instance won’t load at all for me. Am I alone here?

finley ,

After, I think, v 0.19, there was some upgrade to proxy image hosting or something like that. Instances that have version mismatches have display issues with images.

It’s not you.

I don’t disagree, I was just commenting from the angle of how enthusiastic many are about ThinkPads.

I don’t know too much about Chromebooks myself, so I look forward to the banter in order to learn more.

KickMeElmo , to linux in Lemmy predicts: Chromebooks will become the new Thinkpads

ARM is the biggest reason this is unlikely to happen imo. Software compatibility is key.

GravitySpoiled ,

How does arm limit that?

arm is up and coming

KickMeElmo ,

For a laptop style system, the vast majority of users expect x86_64 software to just work. There are ARM versions for some things, and some can be recompiled by a knowledgeable user, but most software simply won’t run.
