  • In any problem, every solution that works is a solution, but not every solution is of equal value. In math we use the word "Elegant : Characterised by minimalism and intuitiveness while preserving exactness and precision. " To describe solutions that work well, are concise, and don’t add pain.

    Jigsaw puzzle analogy: If you have a puzzle with one piece missing, there are at least a hundred things you can use that will fill that space … sawdust, sand, play-doh, cement, but the most elegant solution, is the puzzle piece made to go there.

    With tech, its just more complex- we don’t create solutions in a vacuum ( a world by themselves ), they have to exist and mesh with a preexisting world. We call those limits constraints. And the problem with tech is that often the people who create the technology ignore (don’t care much about) the constraints.

    Inventor: Can we do xyz with cameras? Society: And not let them be used for evil? Inventor: Not my problem.

    Its easy to solve problems: the cat is sick. kill the cat. people: No that’s awful. inventor: but it did solve the cat problem.

    Solving problems in a way that meshes well with the world is not easy. And our inventors are at the moment, shortsighted and greedy.


  • Just adding. This and all the bad things that will happen if they get the green light, is not how this is done or should be done.

    ‘But all the waste and ineficciency!’ Hog wash.

    From the system that is working? and serves thousands of people what they needed every day of every year.

    They have to say it’s horribly broken. Its a lie, but they have to justify why.

    There are standards, procurement contracts, entire agency’s to make sure — Make sure what?

    March 28, 2025 - Make sure that what will happen, doesn’t.


    coda: The trick this cabal is using is simple - take a thing most folk don’t understand. Say it’s broken. Open it. Rob it. Say its fixed. Collect profits and praise, leave town.
