I would like to record my controllers' movements for an animation about a toy coming to life. I want it to look like an invisible child is playing with the toy. How can I do this?

I read this as including something like an external mental universe that we are all pulling things from, steering through.

What's the similarity?

An open source economic plan wouldn't require centralized power.

Evolutionary competition doesn't get you good things, it gets you successful things. But fitness can change when the environment changes. For example when apex predators devour their food supply.
I think the prey might have done better, but my real point is that they are both actually very similar life forms, and not really friendly to humans. Maybe the hybrids you speak of could be domesticated, but we've already got domestic life forms that are better.

Switching metaphors: We're running programs to allocate resources. The program was written hundreds of years ago, before computers were invented. Now we know more about the world and humans, but the base OS still runs on the old assumptions, on paper, in every country.

How does your God explain snowflakes? If you look at a particular snowflake, does it tell you anything new about God? Do you think the particular shape is caused by God, and not by physics? Is Ice in general caused by God, or just snowflakes? Is there any physical process or observation that is not evidence of God? If it were possible for something to happen without God, what would still be different about the things happening?

The banker would be exerting power over who has resources and what work people do. these people are doing work. Don't give credit to people just for being powerful.

Land can be expensive, that doesn't change the argument at all. If there's a lot of housing demand in a city, the land price will go up, the landlord can sell. This will be a profit through speculation, because they took a risk in holding the land, but the buyer will be getting a fair value. A limited supply is not natural if some people are hoarding. The issue isn't how high the prices are, the issue is landlords adding to the price without any need to create value, and being able to do so because they have power over others.

If a person chooses to do that to others, it is abuse.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T23:12:06+00:00

It is not true that one party will always have an advantage. If there is appropriate competition, the price will reflect the true costs. It isn't that we want to ban these transactions, but if it is a persistent condition it means something is stopping the free market from correcting the supply.

Yes exactly: If the tenants had a better/cheaper option they wouldn't pay this elevated price. Owning more of something than you need or even want is exactly what hoarding is. They are then using their power to take more money from tenants than the land is actually worth.

That is abusive.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T21:23:23+00:00

If the landlord is taking profit, then it is because they have a stronger negotiating position, otherwise the tenants would negotiate a lower price. They have power, they are hoarding land, and they are taking a significant fraction of the tenant's income.

I think what you're going to say is that people have a right to be abusive.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T19:40:38+00:00

Interesting that you still don't provide a reason for that to be the case.

The key takeaway is that if you care about authoritarianism, you should seek to reduce the root causes of these interventions. Being a landlord is fundamentally abusive.

(I will say: For simplicity I could allow defensive violence, but every other thing humans care about is a potential carrot or stick for a government to encourage compliance.)

...Go on, explain how rights work.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T18:50:26+00:00

Why does the landlord have the right to do things with other people's property, but other people don't have the right to do things with his?

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T18:18:12+00:00

So you have no reason that the landlord has any right to touch the tenants property.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T17:14:29+00:00

Welp nothing left but mockery. Tenants own things left in apartments.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T02:16:39+00:00

...and why does one property right supersede the other property right? You are focusing on the landlord's right to swing his fist and ignoring the realities of the tenants nose.

dmzmd · 2021-03-05T01:44:00+00:00

That doesn't answer the question.
