Humanity is not ‘general intelligence’. Intelligence is best defined as the ability to mentally model the future, debate these models for accuity, come to many solutions for problems and choose the best solution. So if we live in a village in a deep valley, the hills above us is all loose soil covered with thick…

There is a pervasive climate of distrust and resentment of some (not all) working people towards people who for some reason do not work, can not find work or can not work. Depending on the overton window in your particular geographic area, there is variation on how much resentment there is, or what type of…

Humanity needs planet-wide maximum incomes and maximum levels of permissible private wealth. Above that, tax them at 100%.

There’s an easy way to make me stop. . Want my bank account? Pay me 2000 euro a month*, you pay worker taxes and insurances, and I’ll stop doing it. . Until then, fuck you. I can outlast and out-overton you motherfuckers. . * inflation adjusted, indefinitely.

Politics and democracy is broken and under assault. But what can we do? How can we make a difference. Individual citizens feel overwhelmed and intimidated and are likely to just give up. But what if we could change that? . Listen, the idea I am putting forward is un-formed, vague and may in some instances…

I demand my politicians do something about this, and soon. Remember – these technologies can easily be used against politicians and civil servants by non state actors. A well-run campaign can easily murder 90% of all politicians in a country, just a decade from now. At negligible cost, compared to existing military assets. Essentially, I…

You can’t stop popular anger. Period. There is no amount of automation force you can must, no amount of property protection law enforcement you can recruit, train and weaponize, there are no amount of crooked judges, lobbyists and politicians you can purchase and slot in. Well, at least until we are further this century, when…

Let’s establish a few starting assumptions that makes discussion on this topic easier; I don’t feel myself comfortable with the label “liberal”. I am a progressive and I am outspoken and rather militant in my progressive urges, but I can’t say I am a socialist. I am sympathetic to socialism. I bet fit in what…

I hate facebook and all that it stands for. I loathe Marc Zuckerberg. That is in itself a harsh statement but judging from coverage of what facebook has been up to the last years I am prone to classifying facebook as unmitigated evil, in numerous domains. I quit facebook in December last year and haven’t…

This is a guesstimate for being an active observer of life extension of what, I believe, we can anticipate. The following list is intended to make you think about the various levels of aging reversal treatments. These are all sign points for some future date where we can, at that moment (or in retrospect later…

For the last 10-20 years I have spared no words to express my extreme disgust about the pathologies in US society. I have publicly predicted the irreversible decline of this beautiful nation, and its imminent collapse into a dystopian state we have never seen before on this planet. I wish it were different but every…

I am witnessing the signs all around – even though birth rates are low in many most developed countries, we still have very fast and objectively unsustainable birth rates in most of the world. Making babies is still beyond discussion, let alone critique, but my prediction is that we will soon herald a major paradigm…

The emerging field of space economics: theoretical and practical considerations (Space Review) This is Part 1 of a two-part article that introduces space economics as a field of study. Part 2 will outline how a self-sustaining space economy with markets operating within the functional interplay of state and private imperatives constructed on the foundations of…

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) suggested Thursday that American women need to have more babies or risk the US being unable to pay its (over 20.5 trillion and counting) state debt and be unable to afford all of its 600 billion annually on military expenditures. “This is going to be the new economic challenge for America:…

UPDATE Slide 00, Introduction, Short Synopsis, Definition of Terminology I am Khannea S. Dirven, member of the Hague chapter of the Basic Income society. My philosophical home is the IEET, or Institute of Emerging Technologies in the US and I have spoken and written about this topic (technological unemployment and resulting displacement of humans, humanism…

Original article in 2012 The drone djinn is out of the bottle

This is my idea. Copyright, patent, whatever, Khannea 2017. 1. Find a gravel pile asteroid. Could just as easily be Metallic, Rocky, Muddy or Icy asteroid. Reduce spin of the asteroid (may also be done later, depending on how much energy it takes). 2. Vertically dig a hole in to the asteroid, about a mile…
