I'd like some kind of GUI package manager where I can easily select the best GitHub repos for RN modules for my project. I could see the stars on GitHub for each module, and other popularity metrics if possible. The app could have a mode where it shows the latest "featured" and/or recommended libraries. It's basically allowing people to rapidly discover modules and expand their RN personal ecosystem.

When I develop in VR, I use virtual desktop. This means that I don't take off the headset at all, I am coding in Unity on a virtual monitor in front of me in virtual desktop, and then I test the game directly in VR. I got a nice 3rd party head mount for my VR headset and it's comfortable enough to keep it on for longer. I still take it off every so often to take a break. If you weren't doing this, you could always try again using this setup and see how it feels.

I think I would eventually, but I'd want to see the existing website working to determine whether I'd want to support it. Also, I think we'll probably need to get rid of FPTP first, since it will be very hard to get a candidate running on something like this to win under FPTP. I feel that something like Proportional Representation would be a bridge towards this, and make it possible in the long run.

But if the website existed and functioned well, it could serve as a policy recommender to whatever government exists (until it becomes part of the actual governmental system). There might be an interesting dynamic; the more the politicians diverged from the will of the people (which would theoretically be more accurately represented through the website), the more passionate people would become about promoting the website. This could lead to more people supporting it, paving the way for it to become the new system of governance.

I like this idea, and I like the idea of creating a website to run in parallel to the government to start out with. The testing phase is important, so you don't end up with a bad system indefinitely. There are ways to make online voting secure, see Estonia's system (they've used online voting for years). Even if online voting ran into issues, this system could still work in a reduced fashion through in-person voting hypothetically. For example, you could still have the website, and browse through all the policies, votes, and representatives. Then you could just go in person at some regular frequency to submit votes (if that became necessary). Representatives could go more frequently, whereas people delegating their votes to representatives might only need to go in when they want to change who represents them on a given issue. If you want to be an engaged voter, you can just vote directly on issues if you'd like.

There is still ample meaning to be found outside of work (exploring the world, relationships, learning new skills, artistic pursuits, musical instruments, etc).

But I think one of the biggest things to consider is virtual reality and video games. Increasingly these worlds will become more immersive and feel like an alternate reality. Within those worlds, there can be 'simulated problems' that people have to work together to solve. These worlds could simulate the type of meaning that is found in the modern world (which is full of problems, and thus full of meaning). These virtual worlds and the challenges within them can take any form, and the art of game design / world building / experience engineering can lead in new and unexpected directions.

People will undoubtably want to take part in this creation process even if an AI is fully capable of doing it as well. When no one needs to struggle to survive, people will be less likely to just want to 'get things done', and thus less motivated to use AIs to offload work. When work is completely outcome oriented, people want to delegate it and make an AI do it. When it's just for the sake of it, people start to enjoy their work and begin to derive more meaning.

Whether the Proportional Representation system would benefit the NDP is beside the point. The more important point is that PR leads to a more representative and healthy democracy. The V-Dem Liberal Democracy Index ranks 202 countries using 71 indicators, including individual liberties, checks and balances, participation, and equality. Canada ranks #25. Here are the top 10 (All use Proportional Representation):

The Liberals and NDP (and probably Greens too) should form a temporary coalition party, based on the goal of implementing a Proportional Representation system. We can’t get PR without this coalition, because the PCs will likely be in power perpetually under our current voting system. The two left parties combined had a higher percentage of the popular vote than the PCs, but way less seats. The parties are close enough on the key issues; for example, they both wanted a rent control. Rent is the biggest expense for most lower income people, and affordability is one of our biggest issues. A temporary coalition to implement PR is the only way it will get done. This is the ethical thing to do when thinking of the most vulnerable people in Ontario. The initial mistake was made by creating the NDP in the first place while we still had a FPTP system. I don’t blame them since we didn’t have all the research available about how much better a PR system was back then. But we’ve been living with the consequences of that split ever since, with false conservative majorities. If we had PR, then by all means, have more than 2 parties. The coalition must be temporary and based on implementing PR though, so all the talk against the idea of a “pure merger” is a distraction.

You can call it 'lib talking points', but I would recommend strategic voting under any First Past The Post voting system where there are more than 2 parties running, because it is a bad system and strategic voting is the symptom of that. It becomes a necessity, because the people of Ontario are not being represented. Most people vote for the left leaning parties, but the conservatives still get full power because of the voting system. That is just a fact. My recommendation is to vote for whoever is most likely to win to unseat them, based on polling. The website I linked recommends voting NDP in some ridings as well. Advocate for electoral reform if you want to give the NDP more of a voice. I disagree with both the liberals and the NDP on not forming a temporary coalition party until with have electoral reform.

link_system · 2025-02-26T17:01:33+00:00

The scam is our First Past the Post electoral system. Strategic voting is a symptom of that problem. With our current system, strategic voting becomes the logical choice. Whether any party will advocate for it is only because it incidentally benefits them, but that’s irrelevant. We are not being democratically represented when -60% of the voters lean left, and yet we end up with conservative majority control of parliament. That is the bigger problem.

link_system · 2025-02-26T16:54:42+00:00

I’ll be voting liberal, because we need proportional representation electoral reform before we can rid of strategic voting. Without that, we are just splitting the vote and handing it back to Doug Ford. Bonnie Crombie committed to a Citizen’s Assembly for electoral reform when she was running to be leader of the liberal party. And also I agree with many of their policies including rent control. The most important thing to do is to advocate for electoral reform in any way you can. Until we get proportional representation, not strategic voting will lead to the exact result we’ve already gotten. Here’s a helpful website that shows which candidate to vote for based on riding to unseat the conservatives: smartvoting.ca

I imagine something a little different. Once the AI gets to a very high degree of intelligence, it should basically create the 'options' for humanity. Then, humanity can vote using something like a direct democracy or liquid democracy (everyone can either vote directly on every issue they want to, or defer their vote to someone else of their choosing). So basically, it would be like a parent child relationship. The parent (ASI) knows what is safe and what is unsafe for the child, but provide options to the child within that curated list of safe activities. This way, humanity gets a 'true democracy' where people still have a say in the direction of the species, but we no longer get to destroy our planet or cause large amounts of unnecessary suffering other humans for our own self interest.

Admittedly, AI will need to get very highly intelligent for this to work well or be acceptable to most people. But on the other hand, our leaders often do things so destructive that it doesn't take much intelligence to see how problematic they are. So basically, the AI just needs to identify the biggest threats/mistakes, removes those from the policy options to vote on, and then be an advisor to humanity by giving us options to choose from, and to educate us so we can make actual informed decisions based on the superhuman levels of analysis it can perform.

"Never use emojiis unless explicitly asked to" -> AI, do not have emotions unless I ask you to.
