If you feel like going on a wild ride google 'Fat Leonard'
I hear that thunderfoot (don't look that up) broke his brain on Brexit and Covid so now he's back on center-left but likely still a misogynist. Dawkins, Ham Sarris, Shermer, Jillete et al. just got old and feeble or outright ded like Randii and Dennett. They only pop in now and then to say something like "more jews won nobel prizes than muslims so we should exterminate all muslims" which they've been doing since GWOT
Avoid going down the elevatorgate rabbit hole if you value your sanity. The same people involved in elevatorgate started GamerGate.
BI (before internet) being an atheist meant being in complete ideological isolation. If you tried to discuss it with anyone you would be ridiculed and sometimes even physically threatened. Theists had complete domination. Atheist = devil worshiper/commie. These people developed a persecution complex that dates back at least to Giordana Bruno but probably much earlier. The first real online social networks were newsgroups which were almost entirely academic and darpa techie nerds. I got my first internet uni account around 1997 and gnu atheist rationalists were already controlling the online (newsgroup) narrative by then. For the first time in history they had an advantage and they kinda went mad with power. Reddit and other early social forums were just the graphical web extension of newsgroups.
Iirc there were some obscure social networks BI like Center for Inquiry and James Randii foundation and they quickly took control of the atheist/rationalist online narrative. People like Michael Shermer, Penn Jillette, Richard Dawkins etc. As a 90’s kid I was initially excited because I thought I found my people but I was also becoming a baby leftist and I noticed the far right influence. I believe the right/left split was already there ( Feynman/Randii vs Carl Sagan/Steven Gould) but there was a sense that control of the internet was at stake. A massive war for control raged during the naughts (some really funny shit happened lol) and finally came to a head around 2012 with ElevatorGate. The scorched earth take no prisoners nature of ElevatorGate pretty much destroyed whatever was left of the internet atheist power structure.
He did come back again he's running for POTUS on the republican ticket

I bought a cheap United Airlines ticket 6 months ago for bay area maker fair and they sold my ticket out from under me 3 times. Started as a direct flight by the time I left it was 3 leg flight with 2 long layovers both ways. By the time I made it back to O'hare I was really tired and hungry just wanted something to snack on while I waited 5 hours for the last connecting flight. I got a medium coffee instead for $3.79 and it was watered down.
somebody had a bad day in Bryansk
As of March, 1,113 American mercenaries had taken up arms for Ukraine, according to a tally released by the Russian Defense Ministry. At least 491 of these had been killed, the ministry stated.
These guys are learning what the term 'peer warfare' means
Do we know for sure if these are real people or just musk sock puppets? If they are real I don't understand how they made it to adulthood. How did they not drown in the shower or get electrocuted sticking a fork into a power outlet.
I'd put cash money on Z-man using this to get another round of financing from USA.
The west is big mad because Mongolia did not arrest Putin when he arrived on a state visit.
Meanwhile they rolled out the red carpet and old school cool:
One of the fake elector plotters They aren't even sending their best and they still winning.
Your an ex USA special forces. You spent 6 years in Iraq and Afghanistan sniping children from rooftop positions. You retired and landed a cush $260k contractor job at a base in Niger monitoring local military communications for the CIA. Your sitting in an air conditioned mess hall munching on free Pizza Hut (tm) when you hear a commotion outside. You peek out the window and see this:
I learned it thru EE but I’ve always been aware that it is a much larger field of study. Its so pervasive it seems like it reveals something fundamental about the nature of reality kind of like how probability theory permeates all of the important scientific advances of the 20th century. I’m gonna have to do a deep dive on cybernetics now.
So in EE signals and system analysis you have a system with an input and an output. You smack it with an impulse input and you get an output response. The output can be separated into a transient response and a steady state response. The transient goes away and the ss response remains. You use this info to get characteristic equation of system which can then be used to determine the response of the system to other inputs, determine stability and other useful stuff.
I think about system control every time someone mentions communism doesn’t take human nature into consideration. So your saying in order to control humans greedy resource hoarding nature you are going to control it with a greedy system? Good luck with that positive feedback.
Positive feedback? Ha ha thanks for the compliment bud your lookin pretty good yourself.
No not that kind of positive feedback it means literal positive and negative. If your input to the system is blowing up positive you need to feedback a negative portion of the output back into the input thereby bringing the input to the system down and stabilizing the output or vice versa.
I’m also thinking about systems where the USA is a linear(maybe) system and the inputs are natural and man made events and the American system has a characteristic equation and response to these events. At least since 9/11 the response is to print trillions of $$$ and distribute it top down to the half way point effectively paying half of Americans to murder the other half. 15 trillion print on 9/11, 8 trillion print in 2008 bank crash and recently 8 trillion print for covid and things like BLM, masking or anti-masking etc being the transient response and war in Ukraine and Middle East as part of USA’s characteristic response. I dunno I'm just rambling now none of this answers your question about using control systems for economics I'm gonna have to do some research.
