I just realized:

there were at-least-2 different designs for that kind of long-term-deterrent.

The spikey-stuff version, & the ominous-maze ( or however it should be called ) version, & maybe another…

That spikey-stuff version could be destroyed-removed by people who found the signal to be the problem, much more easily than the ominous-maze one could.

That may affect future lives…

( of course, my idea that simply putting the stuff DEEP into the ocean-floor right before a subduction-zone, to have plate-tectonics remove it from our surface, would bypass all that, but pick the best method, not the prettiest idea, right? )

This is a bit beyond architecture, but being competent to build a mathematically bug-free API is probably something that few programmers would even bother trying to compete-against…

https://leanpub.com/algebra-driven-design

I think there is a fundamental mis-framing, throughout the entire software/development understanding…

I think that the architecture needs to be simultaneously agilely-devloped, but into an executable-model, a kind of toy-implimentation, so it is easy to change the architecture, low-cost, BEFORE one converts it into load-bearing, & therefore unchangeable architecture ( architecture’s the hardest thing to change, as it’s most-fundamental )

So, I think that the proper way is to do it in 2 stages:

1. agilely develop the architecture, until ALL required-kinds-of-function are working, in the toy-model, & one has re-architected it so that the structure is right, & then
2. set about converting it from the high-level-language to whatever production-language it is that is efficiency-optimal, for production-scale.

This is part of an idea from years ago: I read in a Wiley GAAP book that I happened to be glancing into, that it’s a violation of GAAP to prototype any project in any language other than the final-implimentation-language, & expense that prototype.

Which is totally insane!

Prototype in the highest-level-language you can, to get the domain+architecture right, then reimpliment what you have to in the most production-efficient/effective language for that project.

GAAP ( of that year ) is categorically wrong: it penalizes optimal-prototyping.

It was years-later before I discovered that an English mathematician ( roundish ginger, worked in Glasgow, no idea what his name was, sorry ) had studied the difference between complex projects which worked vs ones which died, & it was the visual-spacial-representation-of-the-model, & the complete-coverage executable-model which made the successes win.

So, I just put those ideas together.

I’d recommend having a banner/sign which explains why you are doing-so, so that you won’t be accused/convicted of what others assume you to have been meaning.

It’s nearly-impossible to get people to understand what one means, when one’s motivation isn’t identical with theirs.

& discovering how their-motivation is fundamentally-different from one’s-own has to happen before one can have ANY chance at dismantling miscommunication.

& miscommunications now can have years-in-prison attached to them.

There WAS a video on yt by a Norwegian man on why OO languages push people into spreading side-effects throughout the code, whereas in Haskell, side-effects are optimally conserved to Main.hs

I can’t find that video, now.

He was on stage, a talk of some kind, not as formal as a university-lecture, so it was some conference, of some kind… ( in case anybody else finds it )

I think that that principle is contradicting what the article is saying… ( skimmed the rest, I think he’s generally right, but burying side-effects seems to be wrong, from Haskell’s perspective, & I think Haskell’s right, generally. )

Nature says: IF you want the current regime ( in any ecology! ) displaced,

THEN displace it!

Don’t like Facebook’s monopoly? Displace it.

Don’t like political-parties’ railroading our world into ideological cuckery?

Displace it!

Etc.

For effectiveness, it’d require leaders, which the anarchists prohibit from their world, so they’re not going to help displace the organized-idiocy.

Communist & fascist imperialism will do EVERYTHING IT CAN to break any threat to their eventual-totalitarian-world-dominion.

Concentration-of-wealth-archy/oligarchy won’t tolerate any such thing, either.

& worst is the rude fact that as people’s contexts change, THEY change, so it has to be lead by people who’ve earned self-conquering, who aren’t malleable in principles or integrity, no matter how much force they are plied with, or how relentlessly they are plied with that force.

The people who felt class-elevated to be hobnobbing with Epstein kept their mouths shut when they shouldn’t have, simply because they’d be knocked lower down the social-status-hierarchy if they broke-ranks, & that social-pressure was sufficient to protect the entire Epstein-Class for decades.

That mechanism is in all of us.

It can be broken, through years of relentless pushing oneself into facing-karma, & breaking one’s unconscious-mind’s ignorance-dominion on one’s life.

Just identifying some of the key forces/factors that have to be dealt-with, in order for global-grass-roots-revolution to work, among the populations who are educated well/correctly enough to value critical-thinking.

In all the regions where education did what Leninism & Fox do, prevent that ( remember how the Republicans eradicated critical-thinking from all their territory after Trump won his 2nd term? ) … thos regions are no-longer recoverable, in WW3’s next 6-decades.

One has to accept that only a fraction of humankind will fight-off ideology-displacing-reason, & that saving the rest, thanks to education, isn’t possible.

Basic principle that Sunzi/Sun Tzu/Master Sun identified, 2.5 millenia ago: IF one is outnumbered, either defend, if one is strong, or evade, if one is weak.

Critical-reasoning is, globally, weak.

You can’t have that percentage be higher than 20%, & have it work right.

Removing any topic of worldnews from worldnews, makes that … significantly underrepresented … the same way that leaving-out that there were over 12M Blacks taken from Africa toward the US ( or it was over 12M who arrived, I don’t know which ), & that there were over 12k ships involved in doing it.

XOR that there was a single Maya city, 1/3 the size of Rome, which had between 12-16M people ( without either the wheel, therefore without carts, OR beasts-of-burden, which means their food-growing & waste-removal systems were … incomprehensibly-good ), while White textbooks insist that there were maybe 2M Indigenous Americans: suppression of correct-framing is in the same category as propaganda

Intentionally-suppressing a subject has long-term consequences.

I agree that it’s spamming everything, everywhere, but Palestine, Iran, & Lebanon are being spammed by warheads and that IS important worldnews.

I agree with the OP that having … say 4 posts per day on the category ( dusk, midnight, dawn, & noon ), with all the links/stories stuck within those 4 posts/day, would be significantly better than suppressing the entire subject.

Why 4/day? Because the wars are at such scale that that kind of tempo makes sense.

I’d make Ukraine the same, Sudan, DR Congo, etc.

Once Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the same’s going to have to be done with US Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance.

The Christian take on Pontius Pilate contradicts all the evidence in THEIR OWN bible on how he fought, & fought, & fought, to make RuleOfJustLaw overcome RuleOfLegalism, & failed ( he would have had a riot on his hands, & as the guy Rome installed to prevent that, that could have been lethal to him ).

This, however, takes it up to another level, entirely, on how the Christian tradition is gaslighting about Pilate’s nature:

https://www.scriptural-truth.com/PDF_Apocrypha/Pilates_letterTo_Caesar.pdf

Pilate held benJoseph to FAR outclass Socrates.

Try reconciling what Pilate himself wrote with what Christianity has asserted about him.

That principle is important.

In any system where goods ( of some kind ) are not owned by the people using them, then you have to make those goods near-impossible-to-break, which is part of where communist Brutalism aesthetic comes from.

There was a book by a shelled-moluscs scientist who was born blind: he sees through his fingertips.

He’s the one who pointed that principle out, having lived in communism for part of his life, & once the principle’s understood, it can’t be unseen.

Know somebody who cares for their tools like jewelry?

They’d all be destroyed, pronto, in communism.

That’s the price that gets paid when nobody owns what they’re using.

And THAT principle, means that it then becomes possible to design means-sharing-systems that can work.

The e-scooter rental systems that many cities now have, is 1 example: idiotproof, indestructible, & they enable significant improvement in the city.

But consider contractors who need to be able to get anywhere, with their tools…

public transport may break their work.

Rurally, not having a vehicle’s … often suicide.

& if the city’s designed like US cities, towns, & villages, where they engineer it to break any other form of transport, then you cannot get to the supermarket without a car, from many locations.

It takes much more whole-systems orientation, to get it right, than what the US has been doing…

Sorry, that’s got nothing to do with it:

Thoughtshapes are themselves, & some are more “atomic”, & others are more “molecular”, & others are merely-associating.

I have to fight the urge to use “=” as double-hyphen, to indicate more-atomic, & “-” to indicate still-atomic-just-less, to try to communicate what thoughtshapes I’m meaning, & how their forms work/are.

Translating from thoughtshapes to English … is clumsy-as-hell, breaks many meanings, & prevents entire categories of meaning from being expressible.

I’ve been told by multilingual-people that what I’m describing exactly matches their frustration with getting meanings from 1 language into another.

White psychology holds that there are only 3 innate-mind-languages: VAK…

• Visual
• Auditory
• Kinesthetic

but there are 4, at-least:

• Abstract-Shape cognizers
• Visual cognizers
• Auditory cognizers
• Kinesthetic cognizers

Each of those is mind-blind to things that the other kinds can see.

Temple Grandin did a TED Talk on exactly that, but didn’t mention the abstract-shape cognizers, iirc.

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=temple+grandin+ted

She COULDN’T have put the Fukushima-reactor emergency-generators at the bottom of pits, beside the ocean, because she would have SEEN that the tsunami that hit the building, which those generators were supposed to provide power after, would have drowned the things.

Obviously, non-visual-cognizers made that decision, mind-blind to the consequences, obliterating the usefulness of them.

From what I’ve been able to discover, abstract-shape cognizers are common only in physics.

There aren’t many ( I’ve met 2 others, that I’m certain of: I asked them, because their thinking was so different from the VAK types ), & it seems to be the only place where such kind-of-mind has significant … either advantage, or familiarity, not certain which.

So, TL;DR is:

using hyphens in trying to communicate which thoughtshapes are more-atomic, vs which are merely-associating, using the clumsiness of English’s words & grammar/syntax/punctuation,

so you people can get the actual feel for the intended thoughtshapes, themselves.

( instead of the English-bound approximations of them )
