now the details are implementation details - public only, hybrid, vouchers, whatever
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625591 2026-02-08 10:50
it is one of the most obvious high ROI things in society to educate people
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625590 2026-02-08 10:50
is that it has higher societal fitness
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625589 2026-02-08 10:50
the reason all societies evolved to some version of this
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625588 2026-02-08 10:50
it might be framed as charity, but it is not really
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625587 2026-02-08 10:50
it is 'selfish' from the point of the collective to do so
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625585 2026-02-08 10:50
but because public education allows people with various talents to become maximally useful to society regardless of the economic circumstances of their birth
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625584 2026-02-08 10:49
the reason we have free public education is not because someone cares specifically about you personally
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625583 2026-02-08 10:49
but the purpose of the system is to optimize the collective, not to optimize you
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625581 2026-02-08 10:48
systems still very imperfect
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625580 2026-02-08 10:48
as we learn more, as humanity, we get better at this
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625579 2026-02-08 10:48
is to get the right people, into the right position, with the right support to be maximally useful for society, for the collective
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625578 2026-02-08 10:48
so the purpose of any civilization scale system
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625576 2026-02-08 10:47
there is no equality of outcome
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625575 2026-02-08 10:47
if someone jumps out of a helicopter incorrectly they die
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625574 2026-02-08 10:47
and these things have different outcomes due to reality
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625573 2026-02-08 10:47
someone has to jump out of helicopters special forces style, someone has to do genomics experiments, someone has to pick up the trash, someone has to dance ballet
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625569 2026-02-08 10:46
it cares about optimizing the collective
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625568 2026-02-08 10:46
it cares about the collective
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625566 2026-02-08 10:46
the system does not actually care about you personally
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625564 2026-02-08 10:46
because the system (whether genetics or society) is not organized on behalf of optimizing for you personally
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625562 2026-02-08 10:45
humanity's strength is having this vast spikeyness
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625561 2026-02-08 10:45
in almost every aspect of life, there are many people who are better than me, it can't be any other way, there are 8 billion people, we have diverse genetic and environmental backgrounds, our skills, personality, motivations are all going to be different
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625559 2026-02-08 10:43
what one does with those opportunities has to be your own issue
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625558 2026-02-08 10:43
what we can do is offer a transparent, open, non-discriminatory platform where everyone is respected and given the same opportunities regardless of their background
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625554 2026-02-08 10:42
maybe everyone was supposed to have equal outcomes in communism but stalin sure seemed to live in a bigger, nicer house than someone in siberia
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625553 2026-02-08 10:41
and any and all attempts to force this just replicate the same outcome but in annoying and transparent and inefficient ways
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625552 2026-02-08 10:41
systems are 'adverserial' because resources are limited
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625550 2026-02-08 10:40
anytime real world resources are involved
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625549 2026-02-08 10:40
and while this example is silly and stylized
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625548 2026-02-08 10:40
and the tigers can all starve to death
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625547 2026-02-08 10:40
from the gazelle's perspective, the optimal amount of times the tigers will eat them is zero
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625546 2026-02-08 10:39
imagine the following: "I would like every tiger to eat an equal number of gazelles" so it is fair to all tigers sure, but I am pretty sure the gazelles have some skin in the game too and views about this too!
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625543 2026-02-08 10:38
forgets that there is someone else at the table, the counterparty who has agency
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #625542 2026-02-08 10:37
:to guarantee great outcomes for everyone"
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar Reply #625541 2026-02-08 10:37
lol there is no chance we will do this - it will break instantly! of course it is equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome - equality of outcome has never been achieved in human history (or in nature) and we are not going to break the laws of physics and biology here
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #623432 2026-02-07 22:25
it is anyway the right answer
punk6529 Maybe's Dive Bar #623431 2026-02-07 22:25
we need to be ZKP all the way
