BattleGround - 02 - Who Is Claire Villareal? [HULU Original]
Battleground is hulu's first original series. Episode #2 titled: "Who Is Claire Villareal?" is another episode of character building and connecting and confusing. Similar to how Lost and BSG will show a clip of something insane much further into the future, and you have no clue how it happens but you know its going to fucking happen. You're probably literally shitting your pants thinking that something will happen soon but have no clue when. . its subtle in this also. I'll be watching.
Population Control
A friend on facebook created a post including the words population control and immediately my brain was exploding with thoughts about what it means, why it exists, and how mortal man gets to decide the fate of another...
the post was "No matter what anyone tells you, being an only child was the best thing ever."
.............................."and it helps with population control."
.............................."and it helps with population control."
what it means, w
- Most Americans generally think that population control is a good thing.
- Most people think they should be using population control on american people is an important thing.
- They either knowingly or unknowingly are aware or think America's demise is possible.
- Communities and People seem to be governing themselves on a sliding scale between greed socialism. Socialism completely takes the life out of the people, and enslaves them all. Literally zero can be accomplished. Not literally literally, because they're still educating and surviving, but their innovation is almost nothing. As we see from north
- Every Country is as bad as its worst good person, and is as best as its best bad-guy.
- The good person - is the person who's job is to be a civil servant. a warrior for the future of our people. Their job it to take care of everybody possible, and make sure we evolve and grow.
- the worst of the good person, is the politician who's more interesting in serving capitalists than politics. he's gone undercover in the world of good, to purely take advantage of the situation and create bad. They're genuinely taking from the poor and giving to the rich. it doesn't get much worse that this.
- the bad-guy - the bad-guy is the capitalist. Capitalism is the engine behind greed. At greed's worst, you have people willing to gain money from the fall of others. Not just willing, but eagerly and tirelessly trying to gain at the downfall of others to the point of real pain and starvation. Basically, slavery... Many business owners are happy living a luxurious lifestyle while their employees are dying.
- The best of the Bad-Guys, is the capitalist truly doing a good service for humanity while profiting. If facebook was never created, the same amount of money in american industry wouldn't have existed. Same with Twitter. Media companies were previously holding content hostage. IN ORDER TO BE KNOWLEDGED ABOUT CURRENT HAPPENINGS, YOU MUST PAY OUR GATEKEEPER.... fuck that. We don't need to pay some fat murdoch to get news about a house that burned down across the street, whether or not that house is now down the street or 3000 miles away, we're smart enough to pass that information in milliseconds to the recipient and thats because the best of the bad. The innovative profiteers.
- It would have been invested in oil companies, or solar, or banks, or insurance, or telco... But innovations in 1st world countries are truly pushing humanity as a whole towards a better world. A better world with less disease, and more freedom. Genuinely it comes down to freedom of thought. most people in 3rd world countries don't have a similar thought to an american, and similarly we've never had the same thoughts they have because we live SUCH entirely different lives. If you gave everyone a choice on every birthday to choose where they lived, and which life they lived, do you think most people would choose to live in america or a 3rd world country? I think 80% would choose America, and 20% wouldn't. I figure the top quadrant of a bell curve would choose to battle life and try to create change. the others wouldn't. I'm one of the people that would live in america..
- Wow, that was a huge tangent. I meant to say our current innovation, is taking money from allover the world and keeping it here in america. Everytime a new positive company is created in america, we add another year onto our existence. kinda like in real life how every workout adds a minutes to your life, new companies add life to American/Human Growth. And these companies are genuinely good for humanity.
- This isn't Fanboy-ish. Each company must be looked at like an income statement, as a moment in time. You look at today, if facebook existed or didn't, would the world be better or worse? I think most people would choose a world with facebook. I think the same about Apple, and Google, and Amazon, Microsoft, HP, Dell, ATT, FOX, Comcast, Nokia, Kodak. All these fucking companies created good shit at one point in their existance, and people would have chosen they existed. But after time they peak in morallity and turn towards evil... This is the same about the worst of the good-people. They're also good for a little while and create good shit unti they peak the morality continuum and fall towards evil.

Money is Fictional
Ownership and Money, Both Very Intangible.
Back during the crash of 2008, a large discussion happened about a trillion dollars being lost from the marketplace. It didn't actually go anywhere. it dissolved.
Prior to 1930's you could exchange dollar bills for gold at any bank. There was a real meaning being the dollar bill, but in 1933 we left the gold standard, where we no longer exchange money for gold. When you pay for something online, physical money doesn't transfer hands, its just an electronic update to both computer systems.

Movie Industry Blues? Why Not Innovate?
I'm really curious about what is stopping the Movie industry from innovating in similar ways music has.
Movies and Music are going through similar changes, technology has made the costs of distribution decrease a large amount. Economics shows us that when the public knows of lowered costs, they won't spend more the perceived value.
They're going to have "shrinking" pains until it happens. Why aren't movie distributors and theaters getting into the electronic age and making shit happen?
How about a free digital download of a movie if i see it in theater?(some bands do this for concerts)
How about unlimited theater visits for $10/month excluding opening weekends?(seems reasonable)

So, the free market has updated the law(Economic Law) basically stating that customers aren't going to pay the same now as they did before for the same service.
