disclaimer,
as i already said
to a physicist everything looks very easy
because you do stuff like this
okay?
hardcore stuff
or stuff like this... you know?
and thats why
everything else
is very very easy for you
physicists are the best - ok?
and in this video i basically use alot of
analogies
and in the end
you completely understand CAPITALISM
and why there is so much religious believe
system
around it and... yea
economists
so yea
its only 20 minutes
you know...
chill out
imagine a familiy member just comes out
of the forest and explains to you
he as a friend... a new friend found in the
forest
and he is talking to him
and he as interesting perspectives
and after a few hours of... ya
just reporting what he has to say
you find out that this friend
is an anthill
and this anthill is communicating
for example when the ants are forming
letters on the ground
or they ... they are forming some
symbols to actually express certain stuff
and he is talking to the anthill
and the ants are doing certain
certain things
this analogy
is used by douglas hofstadter
he founded this analogy
and he was using this to
express his thoughts about the human brain
and the consciousness
because
you can look on the anthill
and say OK
it is made of alot of ants
and they have a certain routine
how they are
yea , working together
they have communication signals
with the. . . with all that stuff
but the anthill
as itself can be seen
as a higher order structure
out of all those ants
right?
it behaves in a certain way
as a conscious beeing
because
it reacts to
ya
input from the environment
for example
right?
when the weather is changing
or whatever
when there is some animal
attacker
some animal attacks the anthill
or something
then the anthill
is reacting to this
and this analogy
is very interesting
because i will use basically
this analogy
to explain you CAPITAL
THE CAPITAL
and this of course
capitalism
similar interesting stuff
happens to
honey bees
those honey bees
they have interesting mechanics
for communication
for example the so called
waggle dance
those bees
can ... yea
if they strive out and explore the environment
and they see whatever...
a juicy juicy flower
they go back
to their colony
and they have a method
which is called waggle dance
and with this they can
encode the distance and the direction
where the juicy flower is
and they communicate this signal
even .. so it is basically
it has to do with the angle
and the angle
that is relative to the actual sunlight
and because those bees are living on those
hexagons
they can actually encode like
in ... not in 90° but in 45° steps
and this is enough... ok?
and they can also encode with the
how exactly the waggle dance is performed
how much distance has to be travelled
and while they are doing this
they are even charging themselfs
electrical ... like with electricity
and when this is uncharged
it even produces something like sound
that the other bees are
even communicated this more
and this is very interesting
so there is alot of interesting stuff happening
inside of those colony animal stuff
for example bees and ants
and... i have even more
interesting analogies
i will need in order to explain capitalism
and they are also some "higher order structures"
interpretation
of low level physics
and...
it is just useful to have those tools
and they become something more than the higher
level
abstraction itself at some point
so just two physics geek examples
in a semi-conductor you have someting like
a grid, with ya - basically a periodic grid
where electrons are sitting inside of some
potential holes
and if something happens like
a photon is giving some energy to an electron
the energy can be enough that electron becomes
free
and moves within this semi-conductor
and we all know
(FROMSCHOOLMAYBEROFL)
that the hole that is left
is also moving on the grid
and funny enough
you can interprete the hole
because the hole is not an object right?
but the surrounding electrons
that are surrounding the hole
they make it
that in the end the hole
behaves exactly like a particle
and this is very interesting
because it is not an actual particle
but the environment
looks exactly like this
as if there would be
an electron
with positive charge
but there is no actual
its just a hole - right?
and another interesting thing
is in condensed matter
you have the same grid structures right?
and they are also solid
and if you just
yea
do something like this
*knocks on the bottle*
there is vibrations
within between all those grids
and those vibrations
behave
similar as a particle
and it has actually a name
and its called: PHONON
and the funny thing is
this phonon
is just a wave
okay?
it is basically something like a wave
BUT, it has also properties of a particle
for example it can scatter
like - it can crash
with another phonon
or it can even crash with another electron!
so a non existing particle
a quasi-particle
can interact with a real particle
and it does this
because the models look like this
so we can say - okay
we call it just phonon - right?
it is not a particle
it is not a particle
but there is something that looks
mathematically, like a particle
and it behaves like this
and this is a very interesting example
and it is a very useful analogy for a better
intuition
like if u wanna understand nature and stuff
those kind of particles
are very helpful
because they encapsule
alot of - yea
properties of the whole condensed matter block
right?
and you can describe alot of it
with just a single word
and all those examples
like the bees and ants and
the phonons
they demystify these higher order entities
right? because we know the hole is not an
actual
particle
there is just something... an entity
and it behaves as if there is an actual particle
and this is only demystifying it
because we can understand it
right?
okay?
we as humans we can understand it
and this is a very interesting thing
because the ants in the ant hill
they are basically small robots
they follow simple instructions
and they are simple algorithms
they cannot understand the bigger picture
but we CAN
and this is the difference
now...
THECAPITAL
to us humans
competition - okay?
it sounds so natural
and it seems so natural
because this is what we see in our environment
and blablabla
and we were socialized with it
in competitions and yea... it makes fun
in games and all that
and i understand
but you need to understand
i have a short and a long video about this:
COMPETION IS THE REASON FOR HUMAN PROGRESS
it is actually the reason for
"so called progress"
and by this i mean usually something
that is even declining human progress
and i have alot of video material for this
so... global capitalism is only so complicated
because we introduced already
so much higher entities...
higher order entities
for example
so as ... the same with electron and hole
pairs
right? this a higher order structure
because it only works with the electron
and within the frame work of the solid matter
right? only there is even this hole existing
but it is not a particle
and we have the same thing with debt
okay?
state dept, dept of private ... person and
stuff
it becomes a commodity
and it has a value
and it can be traded
but it is debt
okay?
so this is something you have to keep in mind
it has a value
and it can be traded
okay?
and this is just a very fascinating analogy
with
the electron and the hole
you need to think about this
the hole is not existing
but it behaves as if it is a particle
and the debt is only existing
because there will be someone
who needs to create value
in order to equal out the debt
right?
this is why it has value
and then is also the next higher level stuff
happening
because there is debt from credits and
they all can be stacked to packages okay?
to debt packages
and they can also be traded
in yea... bigger structure markets
and i even have just a fking big business
link for you
you can check out the language those guys
are using and stuff
and i mean the next thing is that
contracts can be traded as well
as a commodity because you can calculate an
actual value
of a contract
and the very special contract that is very
important
to us right now
is the so called shorting
right? it is
it was basically invented as a very interesting
and i would say even logical thing to have
basically if you have a constant trade and
a constant cashflow
between parties
and they just want to ensure
that everything is alright
even when the markets are somehow collapsing
and have small a yea... ripples within the
space time and stuff
then those shorts are actually useful
but of course they are abused right now
and it is not used in
in the way it was intended to be
so it basically becomes a commodity of gambling
and for this you can of course just check
out
the movie: the big short
it is very good explained there
and already
i tried to explain in another video
hayeks motivation
for his like... intuition and why he thinks
the free market is so cool and so complicated
and within the frame work of this video
we can also talk here
because: to him everything looked like a big
natural calculator
like a big so called cellular automaton
or even more educated and more modern
a big neuronal network
because he thought
that the free market is something similar
to our brain
and you can even check out that the paper
from frank rosenblatt about the perceptron
is citing hayek
and this is just funny
because
what i think
is that hayek uses this stuff
and for him it is actually a mystified intuition
okay? believes about mystified natural concepts
such as evolution and survive of the fittest
and competition
okay?
and i explained this in my evolution video
basically this evolution video also explains
why there is this stuff with the ants and
the bees
okay? this is just evolving
out of monte-carlo simulations
and you need to check out the video for this
because we are not ants
this is a totally mystified interpretation
that hayek and all those capitalists have
we are not the ants
we can see the problem
and this is what i was thinking about my
video with the nash equilibrium
we can see what the problem is
we could change it
we can overcome the prisioners dilemma
because we are humans
we see what is happening
and it is NOT a law of nature
and thats why i claim
capitalist ideology is toxic and stupid
it is just stupid
and we can understand ourselfs
and the world around us
we see the ant hill
okay? we see it
and ...
if we dont understand this
more humans will die
because the capital
if the capital right?
if the higher order entity
which is somehow conscious
if the capital sees an opportunity
to go further
it will do
and of course if this costs lives this is
not the problem
because this is what already happened at the
moment
right? we have alot of "useless biomass"
like people that cannot consume
and they also are not human resources
so they cant be sucked out
and they cant like consume
so they are useless
and thats why they are dying
and you see it in the refugee crisis
you see it in slave markets
you see it everywhere
exploitation is a result of THE CAPITAL
doing its thing
and what the capital wants is growth
thats the only thing the capital is striving
for
and yea... this is basically what agent smith
is already explaining in the matrix
right? the capital is a virus
and ...
all those capitalist friends
right?
they have these understanding of
these mystified version of this growth
that this growth is meaning something
maybe it leads to progress or something
but it is of course not
as i already explained to you
competition is not the motivation for progress
it is actually declining progress
and i talk about this
i talk about this
maybe: it leads
maybe the capital strives for something
maybe it has "the algorithm" going on and
stuff
but i doubt that like capitalism will explore
the galaxies or something
it will not develop further
i have even a video about digitalization and
high frequency trading
and it is very important you need to watch
it at this point
because there i explain what happens with
yea... automatization, and algorithms that
do certain stuff
no one actually understands anymore because
there is even deep learning involved and stuff
all these hidden automated processes
this is so funny because there is even financial
experts
that say ...
so they have no clue what they are talking
about
i just read up a citation from an article
i will link
"a single mysterious computer programm that
placed orders
- and then subsequently canceled them -
made up 4 percent of all quote traffic in
the U.S. stock market last week,
according to the top tracker of high-frequency
trading activity.
THE MOTIVE OF THE ALGORITHM IS STILL UNCLEAR."
okay?
these financial experts
call those algorithms that i explain in my
video
as if they are a higher order entity with
a consciousness and they have a motivation
okay? it is already happening!
those high priests from the council
will all their religious imagery
they are already like total crazy pope fkers
they have NO CLUE what they are talking about
they are STUPID
and this happens when you study economics
you think that this has something to do with
science but it has not
alot of stuff
happens because of profit maximizing right?
so it happens naturally
because of the capital
CIA operations, wars, grade inflation, so
basically dumbfounding people,
yea television and all that stupid crap
pop music all the results of competition
right?
poisoning by the food industry
environmental damages... okay?
exploitation of nature and stuff
all this in the name of growth
of capital
right?
thats all
and i mean this is not a conspiracy and it
is not a simplification okay?
all those fkers
are just blinded by ideology
and they think there is some
"INVISIBLE HAND" ....
i mean you need to understand
those fkers believe in religious imagery
because they do not understand what im talking
about
because they are stupid
they are actual stupid people
thats just a fact
and i have an ENORMOUS AMOUNT of example videos
listed in the video description
and in those videos, you find alot of source
material
and im of course ranting about capitalism
in all those videos
and you can maybe just check out the movie
margin call
with kevin spacey
it is awesome
and in this movie, everyone already is always
just repeating
that he has no choice he just does what the
capital wants
because this is how they are feeling about
the problem
they have a totally perverted perspective
about reality
because they are blinded by this fked up ideology
and i just repeat it once more
we are not ants, OKAY?
we are the first fking species that can change
stuff
because we can understand stuff
we see what the problem is
we see it!
and i would argue that the capital is not
exploring the galaxies right?
it is not developing further it will just
eat itself
as i already explained in another video
and it would probably die with humanity
there is no doubt to me
you could i mean
it is not part of evolution
the capital is not part
it is more like a contradiction
it ourselfs not understanding
evolution
and not understanding ourselfs
and it is ourselfs blinded by mystified and
redirected interpretations
we just ... so
not scientists
but all those other fkers
they are misinterpreting science
for example hayek
he was basically just misguided by his own
intuition
and i mean i can understand why he did this
and how he was interpreting this
but it is just wrong
it is just wrong
and there is no flaw by just admitting this
that this was wrong
so i would be glad if we could just stop
to pretend we are ants
and just stop this stuff with the capitalism
thanks~
hey youtube,
i just wanna drop a little working definition
for the word intelligence
and... a friend once told me
like when i was like 15 or 16
this working definition
and right now its the best definition i can
come up with
or i just had read in my life
because there is alot of working definitions
for intelligence
but i think the best
definition is:
the ability
to create
and use analogies
to understand stuff
and analogies of course
i mean if you
have similar structures
somewhere and they are
working similar
but the words are different
then its most likely still
the same thing
