I sometimes wonder, wether paranoid dictatorships could not be fooled, by automatically creating fake users in fake relationships, sending each other conspiring comments and information. That way all those secret service snoops could be kept busy chasing wild gooses, leaving the normal people they usually harass into oppossition, to go on about there lives.

In the early days after world war 2 - working at the sugar refinery in my town was considered a suicide job. Many of the sugar beets had some mixend in ammonition with them, so there where days where the washing assembly or the hacking machine would blow up- sometimes killing people.

If its such a horror- why not make up a company of theire own- instead of hijacking a pre-existing one? SJW Incooperated then can provide all the search the world ever needed, without a single with male.

All those rule books, but it takes just one butt scratch on the way back from the interplanetary probe toilett to unfold this scenario. Poor europe.

Honestly, after seeing those anti-corruption rule books - and on the same homepages where they are displayed, the markers in countrys where you cant to buisness without - sort a contamination scenario in itself, i doubt that anything can prevent this once the dice with the one killing side gets re rolled often enough.

So my money would be on less philosophers employed, more disease-control specialists, which would quickly introduce counter agents that could be consumed by the local flora/fauna.

I think that is to one dimensional a view. Many organisms come into situations they are not really fit to survive- society is complex, there are lots of dark corners where specialisation is needed. If you are a social party animal and by inheritance suddenly have to become a 24/7 CEO of a company,without any breaks and non stop political power plays - depression is not indicating that you are unworthy or something. It indicates that you want to migrate in society, away from a unhealthy environment- you detach yourself from the people you have to deal with and wait for reattachment with a better crowd. Sort of the eject capsule from bad influence you do not want to adapt.

The problem with highly intelligent people is that they have a competition among themselves, and the most intelligent one coming out of those competitions is usually the one with the most measurable success (money) for the least amount of measurable input (work).

Meaning, there is a herd effect at work here, where renomee is nothing and looking down among the less intelligent ones is everything. Thus its a race away from productive intelligent endavours with lots of input (science) towards optimal endavours (hacking the system aka lawyer, investor). Meaning that blackhats among the intelligent always outcrowd the white hats in the long term deteriorating society as a whole.

Some streetsmarts might recognize the dynamic and engage it with disrupting countermeasures before the system itself is destroyed by a upper society where it is not feasible to be anything else then a well dressed game theory con-men.

The problem is, that companys are freed from the renewable energy tax- a aluminium hut for example is tax exempted and thus can use the generated green energy at the price point of nuclear/coal energy- which amounts to privat households subsidizing industry.

If you design it in such a way, that people can evacuate similar to airplanes? Basically every floor becomes a slide to safety outside?

Also it doesent have to become slumy if its well organized. See the various capsule hotels in japan. If you up it to 300 $ you could have comon "living rooms".

More interesting is, how would hide this from the neighbours?

My suggestion: Have somebody drive a big truck into a garage regularly and basically be the shuttle service. Provide a set of two rooms near the front door - and a concierge actor using racism to provide a cover. Finally, a faked daily lightshow, behind the windows to provide the ilusion of ongoing normal life.

This stealth hotel really would be a "hacking" -challenge: Next problems would be water and sewer system.

Power supply and noiseless ventilation.

My suggestion- create many false positives, to desensitize residents eveywhere to loud air conditioning.

So for the hacked hostel to exist, one would need neighbours nearby who for money would allow a loudly humming installation (wifi-antenna) on there roof to exist.

Because powerthirsty psychopaths have social needs too. What is it worth to rule a small kingdom, if nobody lives, suffers and does your bidding in this kingdom. Being the CEO in a lightsout factory, is beeing the janitor.

So why do all these shitty jobs and hamster wheels exist? To give all those "great-men" the ilusion of importance.

Ah, the other side was evil too- helping to get away with it ever since you hit Tommy with the shovel in the sandbox.

If Hitler murders 5 Million and Stalin murder 5 Million, we substract Hitler vom Stalin and End up with zero million. Nothing ever happened! So all we need, is enough crimes to substract from our owns, and we get away with clean hands.

And there i was muder was bad, when all i had to do, was get my muder victims family to shoot back in the general direction and hit somebody.

PS: Mugabe, Pol-Pot, Mao, Stalin are all crimes, where the US did not intervene.
