[sudo-discuss] Chaos & freedom & kids (oh my!)

(I'm changing the subject header on this just to keep the conversation
topics easier to follow.)

Conformity & oppression "for their kids' sake":  This points to the need
to hack the social software as it were, liberate parenthood in some
way.  To my mind, liberating economics is the key to that: parents who
have economic security aren't under pressure to conform "or else."

Chaos:  VERY interesting and thought-provoking take you have, on a
subject that sometimes falls prey to cliches.

Assume one axis of measurement from order to chaos, and another axis
from predictability to randomness.  These are not the same thing, in
that "chaos" in the strict mathematical sense can be deterministic and
thus in some cases potentially susceptible to being computable
(predictable and controllable). 

The goal of capital is the same as that of any other dissipative
structure, which is to extract energy from entropy gradients.  The key
advantage capital has is that it is ultimately "pure information" and
thus is orthogonal to thermodynamics (though governed by economic
variables that can have effects similar to those of thermodynamics, for
example "discounting" which is similar to anticipated entropy over
time).  (The thermodynamic cost of transferring a billion dollars across
the globe as compared to a penny, is merely the energy cost of
transmitting the bytes for the additional digits in the dollar amount: a
miniscule energy cost for an enormous increase in the effect of the
outcome.)

However the individuals who control capital are also dissipative
structures seeking to maximize their own net energy gain.  Thus they
often act in ways that are inimical to the interests of their employers
or The Ownership generally.  For example financial executives in the
lead-up to the 2008 crash, acted for their personal benefit at the
expense of their companies and shareholders: this because the benefits
of serving themselves at the expense of capital significantly exceeded
the benefits to be gained as an outcome of serving capital. 

Very often we find individual actors in the oligarchy, who specifically
act to destroy established systems of whatever kind, in order to benefit
from the sudden release of energy from those systems.  For example
corporate raiders who dismantle corporations in order to sell off all
the assets and earn a fast profit at the expense of the other
shareholders and stakeholders.  By analogy as if Bin Laden set up a
scrap metal company before 9/11/2001, to profit from selling the
wreckage of the World Trade Center.  "oooh, look at all that potentially
profitable scrap steel just waiting to be liberated by gravity plus a
couple of jet airliners!"

Very often the proponents of revolutions are operating on a radically
different sense of time than the general population who are the intended
beneficiaries of the revolutions.  For example I've wanted marriage
equality all my life (gay & single here) and when Mayor Newsome in SF
started the ball rolling, I got impatient for court victories right
away.  However what finally worked was the strategy Obama had, of
starting by de-segregating the military (repealing DADT), and then using
that as the lead-in for changing cultural values that would erode the
opposition to marriage equality.  Judging from the outcome of various
state elections in 2012, Obama's methods have been working, and will
probably result in either a partial or complete victory (California or
nationwide) at the Supreme Court. 

What WE have: we the hackers and makers, little and poor though most of
us may be, have some enormously powerful assets:  Being small, we're
faster than the oligarchy and the middlemen.  Being poor we're frugal
and we can make every dollar go much further.  Being committed to
ideals, we're willing to endure temporary hardships that the oligarchs
and middlemen (with their dependence on lives of luxury) are not willing
to endure.  In terms of business activity we tend toward
micro-enterprise and co-ops, which have the advantage of economic
efficiency in not having to generate significant return to capital aside
from repayment of relatively minor debt. 

So the task at hand is basically "same as it ever was":

To shape the overall ecosystem in a manner that is conducive to OUR
advantages, at the expense of the oligarchy's and middlemens'
advantages.  This is part of what makes the conservative version of the
Gaia Hypothesis tick: organisms exert feedback on ecosystems to preserve
the viability of their own niches.  All organisms do it. 

This also explains part of the big push by the likes of Google and
Facebook, for the "transparency" of a world of one-way mirrors where
privacy is "an obsolete virtue."  (Remember back in the Reagan days,
along with "greed is good," we heard "loyalty is an obsolete
virtue"...?)  They want to "predict & control" down to the individual
level, for the purpose (among other things) of shaping the social
ecosystem to their own advantage.  Our defense of privacy creates
liberated zones or temporary autonomous zones where they cannot do that:
zones where they can't predict or control, from which we not only defend
ourselves, but attack our adversaries. 

(And y'all thought that Google's keyword searching of emails & phone
calls was merely to send you targeted advertising?)  

We need to "operationalize the variables" and figure out where the
oligarchy's and middlemens' weak spots are, and attack them there.  To
my mind the most significant things are the financial system and the
marketplace.  Anything we can do to build alternative economics,
strengthens us and weakens our enemies, and builds a world that's more
sane, humane, and sustainable.  But there's also room for guerrilla
actions, such as "bombing" Google, Facebook, and Twitter, with
deliberate misinformation and disinformation on a scale sufficient to
foul up the oligarchy's predictions.  (Though, make no mistake, this
does require sufficient scale, more about which some other time.)

More later, gots work to do...
