Free Will is Real...in this reality - to a large extent it is govern by your Know How. You have the free will to toss the ball or not -The Decision is yours. Once the ball is toss it is now a matter of Skill and Know How - to understand or predict what will happen next. True...The exact trajectory and all the minutia involved is beyond our understanding at this point in our development But the Ancients teach us that the language of the Universe is Mathematics.....Which is exact. Hence Calculus tells us exactly where the tossed ball will travel and land. Righteuosness is Living Maths Maybe....or could it be a lack of certain chemical reactions in the human body - that results in both boredom and aging. Everything has a Cause....if you find the Cause you may find the Reason and or Purpose Man can Manipulate Thoughts - Thinking. Thoughts are their own self evident being and has no human ownership exception when we speak in past tense. The Purpose of Life is to Live..... Seems you no longer live there? The More you Know...The more you realize how little you know Fact is often stranger than fiction....and Visible light is miniscule part of the ElectroMagnetic Spectrum so is Audible Frequency. - in other words there is more things in this world than we can ever think of. I have concluded its all a dream Some of these men....Could have been women or stole the works of Women - We live in a very Sexist world Yes....an Opportunity to create Meaning - to paraphrase a previous poster if not yourself.

You have that option

It's funny, years ago i heard about the federal government program in some city northwest that gives money to people for living. That is the answer. If the usa can give money to people to live, absent worry , that will allow a constant flow of consumption. as the publicly traded markets will not be hindered but helped. this will mean, content creation will continue online for free , as people will be free. Just a guess to the future

@Troy Does the information resonate or not? Do you care about the subject, why or why not? Do I make a compelling case, or is it mostly boring My thoughts as I listened? 4:26 exactly, I was asked similarly by folks. All to often one of the earlier phases of the internet was advertised , falsely, as a auto revenue stream forgetting the truth behind, brands/customer outreach/internet markets 6:18 march 1998 aalbc's intro, i didn't know 7:50 you are not alone many leave nyc to lower overhead:) but the rent or food keep raising 9:36 truth, if the government under Clinton was ranked by those who were engineers who solve prolbems not lawyers who get commission no matter what, maybe the internet would had been guided to aid brick and mortar but instead it was guided to favor the highest financial powers who are far from brick and mortar 10:48 yes, searching in the largest library has to be selective and sequentially, positively or negatively biased to this or that 13:43 good history lesson for those who don't know about search engines ways 14:27 your correct about google but beyond that, the wealth of the internet, the wealth in its activity, has always been and will continue to be a place for financial manipulative activity. 18:53 it is funny how china has such a large populace and their entire internet is manicured highly. 19:47 thank you for saying that, I keep telling people the internet is not free but many, many don't seem to comprehend this, maybe especially in the usa. 21:11 well, I will say the design of the internet in itself is the problem. IT isn't the tool it is the engineering of it. The beetle is still a great car. Volkswagon , as a publicly traded firm has remade the beetle three times in worse forms than its original, but why? volkswagon is a publicly traded firm whose stockholders can't accept positive financial stability. The internet is poorly structured 27:09 clear history on aalbc's and black owned newspapers websites. I do wonder why you guys didn't attach to the non english internet. 29;15 yes, AALBC is a business but it has a personal or communal aspect you love. And I argue, the internet is full of people who have lesser spheres of influence that is surviving. 33:08 I disagree, I think some computer engineers predicted the internet had problems but I do concur about the silo aspect of the internet 36:08 Yeah, I have seen countless people in my personal life offline who are die hard users of computer programs that have the algorithmic finess/memory capacity/speed of calculation to aid in human activity, falsely called AI. The ability to do for another is not a sign of intelligence. 37:28 yes, the usa historically has always flooded technology into the marketplace and just let human imagination plus perserverance figure it out. I honestly don't feel frightened by the modern capability of computer systems 39:32 The questioner said something I find many black people say all the time to all technology, I Can hear the influence of frederick douglass. Learn how to use the tool better, faster. The funny thing about the entire culture of learning how to use faster, better is that culture is at its heart individual. It isn't communal. In all humanity, a minority , a one percent, always master some tool faster or better than the remaining ninety nine percent. But that has never truly made the community better and as troy said, which i always say, nothing is free. The modern capabilities of computers does not reach all in humanity, even in the usa itself. What people call AI does not reach everywhere in humanity, it simply is taking over the activity of many , maybe most, in the wealthier parts of humanity. The poorer parts of humanity will have to learn how to use the tools they already have, ala wisdom, what no computer has. 41:11 exactly, the computer programs make simulations which by default are approximations, not truly imaginative. 43:56 It is clear to me that many people clearly know people who are not using the modern computer systems. I find it interesting how many black people online keep saying, learn how to use it, ride the wave, like they either know many people not interested in using it or don't want to see any people who aren't using it. It is clear the population in the usa has an imbalance in its relationship to computer technology 46:54 well, in star trek between the enterprise computer side the holodeck side the borg the destination to the computer programs called AI was imagined. Humans were fine. Cutting out human desire to enslave other human beings seemed to help... 50:36 Good goal in being free from google or am*zon in advertisements or book sales 54:17 good point, other technologies are not dead. Humans still need hand wrenches, even though you have electric powered. And humanity has enough people not connected to the internet to allow little zones online 56:00 well monopolies are mandatory goals in a public traded company environment where no firm is ever accepted for consistent financial results. Public trading demands greater growth all the time which is financially untenable or unrealistic but the bind 59:15 I know of Zane, I should had known she is the top seller on aalbc, erotic always sell. 1:00:38 great history on Zane and wikipedia and its editing, ahh terry mcmillan too. I don't use wikipedia for biography, but then I don't care for biography anyway 1:02:50 yeah, the village voice is gone in nyc, amsterdam news in harlem is a weekly, tough time 1:04:11 yes support black online 1:06:21 exactly, am*zon is competing against all other bookstores, or in retail against all other retails, this is why the federal government has anti trust agains them. I Wish someone would had asked you what you will like to see in an am*zon break up? any analogies to the ATT or MA Bell breakup in the 80s. 1:08:21 great point on the illusion of the cheapest. I think how buyers in china are accustomed to getting cheaper than the usa, through sometimes illegal means or legally thin means but the point is, a buying culture of finding the cheapest exist in the world and those in the usa who are willing can do the same 1:09:12 that is diedre, dee, cool:) she is on aalbc right? Using computer programs to make a website is interesting cause I wonder if human lawyers can use the computer programs to check websites to make sure they are not skimming content. 1:11:12 i didn't know am*zon asked writers to disclose if they used computer programs to write a book 1:!2:03 oh wow, you got a review written by an computer... I wish you could tell us what human presented such a thing as their own , anyway 1:12:17 I told people teachers will not be challenged, as someone who has educated, it is very simple. students research your content tonight. Tomorrow 1/2 hour to write it in class. anyone pull out any technology, you are not allowed to submit anything and get a failing grade. I Don't think teaching is harmed, the problem with teachers is many of them don't want to challenge children as such because when children have failing grades, the systems dumps the problem on teachers even if the teacher's methodology is sound. It isn't a teaher's fault if a student doesn't study, if a student is disinterested, but the concept of no child left behind is... 1:12:47 her question is a challenge, why can't what successful black businesses did in the past work now? What is wrong? I think an answer of communalism is missing. The reality is, the usa has a large sense of individualism. I , me, mine. It isn't we, us, our. Kids get online, search their stream, have their content. It isn't communal activity, merely one in a field. 1:16:14 and in defense, the black populace in the usa, has more funding than ever before. We forget, our financial allowance in all industries in the usa started in the 1900s not 1492. I argue 1980s is the first decade in the usa where all sectors in the usa was actually open to black people, that is centuries blockaded and that is not easy to recover. 1:18:19 exactly, the individualism is rampant in the usa, communalism has it's advantages 1:18:56 This questioner is asking a way to determine truth in modern media absent any doubt, in the governmental sector, that doesn't exist outside door to door offline. The only way an elected official can reach people to give them the truth from their mouth, is town halls, door to door. To be historical , bill clinton told hillary clinton that she needed to do more groundwork, but she didn't feel it was needed. It isn't a problem, go door to door, be communal. it is time consuming, it isn't flashy. it isn't quick money but... 1:22:56 Nice talk , enjoyed your pulpit:) my thoughts in conclusion Does the information resonate or not? Do you care about the subject, why or why not? Do I make a compelling case, or is it mostly boring To anyone online, the issue of the algorithms online that dictate how the info flows should resonate, if it doesn't well, you are a true libertarian or maybe elibertarian. I care about all subjects, I grew up and still have a home where topics are discussed offline. I Care about this issue as an artist online trying to figure out how to gain more outreach or fiscal profit while still be myself. I have heard most of your points to be honest, but the points are warranted and to those who haven't heard hopefully will enlighten. Boring is a funny word. You do drill some of your points. But is that drilling excessive, where it nulls the mind. I don't think so. But to those minds already nulled welll:)
