Bioabolition of land tenure is an elegant solution. We introduce DENIED into the soil rendering the soil non-usable. Mandatory expropiation is an expensive solution leading to social unrest because once firms, families and communities fear their property will be expropriated or lost, they refrain from further investments.

Like you mentioned. Our only real sphere of control is self-improvement, but as we do that we can observe how this fits the collective of us. Balancing in the sense of creating a self that supports the collective seems the correct thing to do for systemic improvement. I'm afraid of how ill-prepared most of the world is for that, particularly those in the US. We need decentralization, but we lack the trust mechanisms to even try it as a collective. Our beliefs are incompatible with that and the ownership of pieces of the world is what facilitates that incompatible belief system. It's no small feat to change thousands of years of harmful culture steamrolling the planet, but it will eventually happen or we will fail long before the end of this particular universe.

FL uses unchallengeable axioms. "Mankind is an AI", "mankind was seeded" and so on. These things just trick people into thinking their way.
And some could be disinfo, we’ll never get a confirm or deny there. Just more DENIED. But that’s where our human intuition comes in. To keep sharpening it, so we can slice through the noise.
FL is fascinated with synesthesia, so it makes sense that they’re interested in auditory input, and how that would translate within the dream state. It could also be used to guide / shape the dream state.
What the operator didn't realise is the operator can be seen behind the avatar even if the avatar's eyes are closed. If I could see the operator, so can 'they'. A recipe for disaster. What the operator can do to me, I can do to him. The question I guess is how much of their own network did they expose that day, and I don't mean: just to me : )
There is a huge differrence while one experiences the immersive encounter state, and seeing pictures on a screen. My money is on the people used not being able to maintain a separation between themselves and what is encountered. The operatrors probably cannot maintain the semi-physical boundary separatiing 'me and you'.
the world despises the spirit not the body because the body is temporary but the spirit is eternal and will last forever.
