Daniel is appearing at the Rebel Wisdom closing event, the Last Campfire, in London on November 5th. To find out more and to attend, click here: www.tickettailor.com/events/rebelwisdom/718672

Wow, my first real meeting with Daniel Schmactenberger. What a trip, i'm going to rewatch these more and more. The ending thoughts did exactly as he had hoped, they provided a clarity to a intuitive feeling I have had for a while. I'm 27, very confused about the state of the world, I have no real trust in any direction being offered by the world, and I'm desperate to be of use somewhere to something that provides a real road map of sorts to a future worth working towards, thank you Daniel and Rebel Wisdom for steering me in a direction that feels more trustworthy than anything else I've seen so far.

It pays off to search youtube weekly for Daniel , thank the gods for advanced searching, and his mind that expands yours with every sentence

RW is how I first found Daniel back in 2020. I have since listened to this mans voice for dozens of hours and shared his message with everyone who will listen. Thanks again 🙏🌸🌿

What a man. Lets together be better teachers to our childern so we and our kids can start building together a better world!

A superb analysis, and I am grateful to Daniel Schmachtenberger and Rebel Wisdom for the time and effort it took to share this with us. However, I worry that an intellectual presentation, even one as deep and wide as this, and which even emphasizes the need for a tri-pole solution, reaches only a very specialized head audience. And I have no confidence in this head-oriented human group to solve our many predicaments. Call it woo or silly, but I personally love that New Yorker cartoon depicting the scientific step in a long equation/proof, that pivotal and crucial pause, when ‘something magic occurs’. I’m no spiritual bypasser. I’m fully collapse-aware, and have been so since childhood. I’ve looked upon the human society I’ve had to grow up in and accept with increasing incredulity and fear since I was 3. So much cruelty and shallow thinking. So little kindness. So little deep understanding of what matters. I’m grateful for this beautiful presentation but it leaves me grieving. We need more heart, and a far deeper sacred understanding of purpose and meaning.

All the wisest people of all times have said two things.. simplify, and look to nature.

If Daniel were to design a board game, it would start like Risk/Axis and Allies but the goal of the game would be to change the rules mid-game to play an Infinite Game.

His work unfolds like a book. I’m always excited to see his latest interview/article. Finally we’re starting to see some of the modeling of the solution space. Exciting

My mind come more and more alive every time I listen to Daniel. I am energized to seek solutions. Thank you.

I hope one day Daniel writes a book, so that my grandchildren will have something to look back on when all of this is gone

I am so heartened by people like Daniel. Takes our shared reality by the scruff of the neck, sits it down and questions it in a sincere quest for understanding in order to find commonality for better future paradigm shifts for improving everything to do with our collective and individual experience. Beautiful.

RW please make a discussion between Daniel and Iain McGilchrist happen

Hoping this (Part 2) gets promoted and made available to all soon. Daniel's style and the subjects of his consideration are critically important to humanity. I wish I could conceive of a method to get him in front of people as quickly and virally as the latest TikTok rapper.

From the Unconscious Hell ❤️ To the Conscious Hell 💚 To the Paradise of Consciousness 💜

Feeling blessed that I finished part 1 I could slide right into part 2 and hear more thinking on the third attractor itself once the problems are understood with a bit more clarity. What clarity describing this situation we find ourselves in! Thanks to all involved.

Thanks Rebel Wisdom for more great content. I think I could sense David Fuller sitting nearby, with pointed questions at the ready. Daniel's contrasting hyper agent images of an AI Overlord and the return of the messiah contain the seeds of another great Rebel Wisdom production. Spirituality vs Technology.

Daniel is a cognitive and spiritual beast 😁

Your outline of a third attractor at 14:00-15:00 sounds to me like a description of Baha'i Administration. I appreciate deeply your dedication and commitment to sense making.

Thank you Daniel. You are going deep into the problems we face as a species. Governments and Institutions should take notice.

I love this man. Let us all promote and support him all the way. And by the way… Is that lamp being crooked bothering anybody else?

I’m halfway through. Control of an animals against its will? When I was a cowboy there was no better feeling in my entire life than leaving slack on the reins and letting the horse take over. The horse knew exactly what it needed to do and I’m sure that it’s hormonal milieu was that of a winning athlete. Men and animal work together. The ox is not beaten all the time. You can you love your draft animals big time. It brings tears to my eyes the relationship between domestic working animals in their owners. It is extremely symbiotic.

Smartest guy in the space

Hurrah. Part 2. In eager anticipation 🙂

I can barely emotionally comprehend this. It makes perfect sense of course. But fuck it hurts to really be pulled through all the things you know but have never truly put together all at once in your head

*Daniel is a national treasure*

yoo a part two!! DS is my fav guy

Daniel's use of 'Hyper-Agency' is quite different from how it's used in Vervaeke's corner. Here, Daniel means "outsized influence/agency" while in Vervaeke's corner, Hyper-Agency connotes collective agency, collective intelligence, etc.

Brilliant, brave and thought provoking.

Still working through part 1. Daniel is one of the best modern thinkers.

Much gratitude to Daniel!😊❤

I don't think nobody appreciates the fact the civil war was fought with cannonballs and 80 years later WW2 was ending with a thermonuclear device.

Like his trimmed beard! Most certainly his unique intellect & heart.

Mirror neurons! It seems by expanding peoples concepts of what’s possible by relating to other who are “like them” and already doing it has a huge opportunity to inspire. Interesting to consider how “new media” infused with collective consciousness and sensemaking can serve as an immediate activation. Then integration support is important for long term change. Love these convos. Thank you all 💛

Thanks Daniel!

what a beautiful mind!

High touch human connection capabilites in care and education.... interesting. I am really grateful hearing my refusal to go catastrophic OR distopian being supported. That yes, it is complex and profound and yes, it is not impossible. Thank you for these beautiful and resonant 4,5 hours of Part 1 and Part 2 of hearing Daniel's comprehensive vision. Mar

This is very much inline with Buckminster R Fullers ideas back in the day. The book Critical Path outlines this kind of solution albeit with the limitations of knowledge in those times. Its very much logical and reasonable. And more importantly it is more forgiving for individual preferences than the ideas of Jaque Fresco. The thing with Fresco is that he envisioned a completely transformed human society where "correct thinking and behavior" (not a quote) should be produced by the right society/envirnoment. This comes across as a horror to many people today. What is needed is a way to keep our society looking very similar to today with the kind of individual freedom that we all take for granted but with a "checks and balances" for resource management and wealth distribution designed to cater to all people. I think what Daniel is outlining here is more inline with that and should be easier(?) to convince people of as they way forward. Im afraid the alternative is a breakdown of societies with famine, lack of basic resources, decline in population and reversion back to a less advanced society and a life without many of the comforts we have today.

Fascinating! I’m not sure I heard a solution to the issues though, that seem likely to be implemented. Regardless of how well thought out the third attractor may seem, how novel and applicable something seems in potentiality, without application it is nothing but niche philosophy floating aimlessly on the periphery! Maybe the simplistic clue to a solution is the plough story, where the place of the feminine was sidelined and subsequently balance was lost and the equilibrium masculine/feminine skewed towards patriarchy. Another great point is the fact the we are being socially engineered by big tech so they may as well develop a more beneficial semi educational algorithm, rather than fueling populism and division while people are lost in some divisive echo chamber. Maybe as a starting point the political class of the USA could wake up to the fact populism and securing short term election goals are not long term solutions to a sustainable society or one that is particularly attractive to emulate.

Phew - that's a lot to take in - like a super-rich black forest cake exploding all my sensory, emotional & cognitive structures... My thoughts are tricky ... On the one hand, I'm very supportive of the systemic integration of the 'Infrastructure-Social Structure-Superstructure model with criteria to enable virtuous relations between and within each other as well as binding things like the multi-polar traps, perverse economic systems etc... This is brilliant architecture for the grand plan as well as useful to inform incremental steps towards this plan. I do wonder, however, about the timescale for the development & implementation of this plan given the rate at which several pending catastrophic, existential risks are excelling along with the resulting dystopic regressive systems. To buy time, while being cognisant of & working towards the grand plan, I would propose some sort of multi-pronged 'package' maybe along the lines of something labeled as 'democratic reform' which incorporates things like fundamental values & principles (superstructure) governance structures (aiming to minimize multi-polar traps etc) and possibly utilizing various tech in the short-term. That is, to have a marketable package to the population at large as well as some key players, to at least bind some of the worst aspects, especially of our current democracies. While this shorter-term solution might give us time to prevent short-term (5-20 years) catastrophe, it may inadvertently delay the urgency for the development of the grand plan. It may also prevent the collapse of the current system which might be needed to create the 'grand plan'... So I am torn... How do we survive long enough to achieve the grand plan in the longer term? Do we need to sell as a shorter-term well-packaged, labeled & promoted interim solution? If so, how might we prevent 1st, 2nd, & 3rd order consequences, particularly ones which might undermine the progression of the 'grand plan?

This and the first part are such amazing sources of wisdom, I have several pages of notes and it's taken me hours to really internalize everything he's said. Sadly I doubt these videos will reach that far, the content is just too dense and heavy for most people.

Blessed are the precious few who just are passive and yet Their messages are fresh and new and have a massive effect They’re saying the words that need to be said Our prayers are heard; we’re proceeding ahead! Blessed are the sense makers; we swear, indeed, it’s so Their messages, then, hence take us just where we need to go Standing on the shoulders of the sense makers of the past Expanding on, but bolder, hence, making it then last What’ said before so very well of god and religion With metaphor and parable but a modern revision You find it fuels then the fire of your inspiration of intelligent design To mine the jewels that inspire just more information of a relevant kind

Pure brain candy.Thank you.

Captivating insight!

I agree with Daniel - We need an enlightened meritocratic scientific aristocracy to rule autocratically.

Really good stuff.

Bravo!

You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you very much. I am very keen on spreading your ideas & like last video, I will forward this talk onto my social network. I have been using Google Translate on my iphone recently & GOD is this really USEFUL - This is an example where technology can help people better communicate & therefore understand each other - rather than have communication break down & violence & trouble. Take breaks from your hard work - I will look forward to your next talk Cheers peter miller from Bristol UK - Louder Car Stereo's Now!

I want an VR deep fake AI run version of Daniel Schmachtenberger to talk to ❤

i really enjoy your lectures. I'd like to know your opinion about mass surveillance, which is hardly discussed anymore.

I found the suggestion that technology affects human values -- using the plow and disappearance of animism as an example -- particularly interesting. If technologies have inherent positive or negative values I would suggest that blockchains are likely to have an inherent positive value. The reason being that all they fundamentally do is provide veracity, at a time when it seems to me that so many of the metacrisis problems outlined in this excellent talk come down to a lack of transparency and/or trust (which I feel are two sides of the same coin).

The corollary to "a problem understood is half-solved" ought to be "you don't really understand a problem until you try to solve it". This happens in programming all the time. One clear example is when I was trying to understand the Monty Hall problem. I didn't understand it until I coded a simulation, after which it was obvious.

Daniel said that sociology often forgets about the influence of ubiquitous conditioning, and that humans are very plastic, e.g. good cultures can create a smart or non-violent population. I agree. But he also said that game theory dynamics, rivalrous human nature, and human dispositions explain a lot of bad behaviour. I disagree because of the first point - a culture that focuses on gain will trigger game theory dynamics, rivalry, and negative dispositions. The solution then, is to focus on removing that cause, i.e. removing the idea that our happiness is dependent on gain. Instead of focusing on a third attractor, we just need to remove the cause of catastrophes. That doesn’t require AI/Metaverse education. It just requires widespread noticing that gain is unreliable and that detachment leads to peace. As Daniel said, we've got to understand the problem properly. That means that we must find the cause of the problem (= focusing on gain) rather than just responding to the effects (= the triggering of game theory dynamics, rivalry, negative dispositions).

The network state by balaji srinivasan is an important work worth mentioning! One of the great geniuses of our time just like Daniel.

How can ordinary people who are able to see similar things but perhaps don't have / want the kind of exposure Daniel and others have created, contribute to the thinking and problem-solving? There's a lot of fragmentation in most areas of life, complexity being no different. Local solutions may be useful for learning, sharing, scaling...but they are not going to change entangled global catastrophic risks. How can we usefully come together, given that groups like Rebel Wisdom eventually evolve into something else?

David Fuller need to set up a narrower aperture in his cameras and set the focus to 'manual'

4 hours in and all I can hear in my head is "multipolar traps". Haha but for real Schmachtenberger, thank you man. Your left hem break down of all this helps bring some navigation. Still feel though like you essentially represent the mindset that ultimately has led to a lot of this... Others in the comments have mentioned a dialogue between you and McGilchrist, I think that would be an amazing convo. Beauty vs Systems kind of discussion, in which McGilchrist will pump some color into this repeating message of doom. Cause he provides, in his most recent book, a trail to navigate this nightmare, a trail that fundamentally rests upon beauty and love. Something I believe your message is lacking. Another way of saying it could be that when one does a little background check on the two of you, its a little unnerving to see you selling brain enhancement drugs vs a old man in isolation in Ireland.

The concept of "Entropy" is often included in emerging sensemaking narratives along with its complement, "Syntropy", and I have been giving thought to this duality and how it relates to the predicaments of the Anthropocene. Spreading awareness and understanding of Syntropic power may be the third attractor... --- The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to. It is content with the low places that people disdain. Thus it is like the Tao. --- Many have been struggling to better envision how to transition away from our entropic civilization toward a spontaneous self- expanding syntropic community. If this goal also interests you, please take time to consider the perspectives and questions below. Any feedback is much appreciated. As you know, entropy (and negentropy/syntropy) reflect how matter and energy change with time. As captured in the 2nd law of Thermodynamics: overall, things will progressively decay and become more chaotic, disordered and incoherent as time passes, and with less capacity for "useful" transformation. On the other hand, the universe and our planet have been evolving toward increasing order, syntropy and meaningful information. These rhythmic patterned exchanges of matter and energy have been embodied in the three kingdoms of life (matter/energy > plant growth > animal growth > fungi > repeat) and have created expanding capacity for information processing, including consciousness, social behavior, learning and human culture. Information theory and recent theories of mind are based on these same patterns of entropy vs syntropy. The Anthropocene dawned when human groups began to harness ever greater capacity for entropic power in which energy is narrowly focused in order to fragment materials, tissues and even chemical bonds - often for the purpose of killing and dismembering. Entropic power involves a fast, precise, and intentionally "optimized" flow of destructive energy based on positive feedback (e.g. exponential and unstable), often with unforeseen, "externalized" and longer lasting harms (winners and losers). Examples include fire, the sharp edges of flint tools, arrowheads, spears, the plow, bullets, and then explosives, combustion engines, nuclear fission, and all manner of modern tech. In the information sphere, entropic energy flow/power involves hidden information and deception for the purpose of manipulating or defeating others. At the spiritual level, entropic power enslaves us to desire and fear, hubris and hate, and separates into "us and them" - "lock and load, it's kill or be killed, and might makes right." These typically masculine technologies and attitudes have facilitated an ever greater concentration coercive entropic power and control, forming patriarchal, hierarchical, warring civilizations. This progressive growth and concentration of entropic power has been the foundation of imperialism and industrial capitalism, and is culminating in our planet's 6th mass extinction of life. On the other hand, the syntropic power of living things involves synthesizing matter, energy and information into holistic growth patterns of reciprocity and exchange. These rhythmic patterns of energy flow involve self-regulation by negative feedback, and are spontaneous, decentralized, slow, initially inefficient, and generally non-coercive (free choice), but provide win-win benefits and unexpected long-term efficiencies. They are typically feminine. From atomic and chemical evolution within stars, to cellular life, geo-ecology and the brain, syntropic patterns are woven throughout our planet's evolving beauty as understood by indigenous worldviews, Eastern wisdom traditions (e.g. the Taoism) and modern complexity/systems science. These syntropic world views, including the synoptic gospels of Jesus (especially red-letter translations or Jeffersonian Bible), offer low-cost and practical psychosocial strategies to help us (especially men) to turn away from the seductively addictive path of seeking and gathering destructive power and control. Buckminster Fuller, who conceived the term "Syntropy" as a response to the static principles of design and architecture of his day, would surely embrace the growing appreciation of its ecological and moral aspects as well. I wonder whether you folks would agree that the syntropic flow of information, energy and matter through our physical and metaphysical worlds should be viewed as a unifying thread - its unnamable way? Perhaps recognizing the elusive patterns and principles of its pervasive presence can help us transcend the baffling paradoxes and calamitous predicaments of the Anthropocene, and help us advance toward a culture based on spiritual and planetary regeneration? What are your thoughts about Elinor Ostrom's empirical identification of strategies that Syntropic communities have adopted to effectively resist the tragedy of the commons? Could Ostrom's design principles for Common Pool Resource help us to transcend the multipolar trap predicament? [BTW, in response to criticism based on economic/game theory, she replied, "A resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory."] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Ostrom --- In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you. --- Thank you for your dedication to sensemaking & meaningful truth. I look forward to any comments on this.

How does intuition play into this? Is their a more scientific or clinical word for intuition? This seems like an innate technology that this connection could solve a lot. If humans are not apex predators and their power is superior to apex predators, what if AI is this to humans? As an expression of nature? Humans then living attune to intuition becomes survival? And the ai is replicating us but optimizing based on our model? This inspires me to intuition attunement event more.

Using AI to educate ourselves might possibly be the very best use of technology ever. So exciting what the possibilities are.. quality math instruction for all.. we'll be out of the solar system and onto bigger and better things in no time. What companies are working on this?

absolutely fascinated, but can't stop staring at the lamp. I have an oil lamp in the same style I use for meditation.

🙏❤

14.36 we need one ring to rule them all!

A personal question ( put forth as a gong-an or "public case") in utter good faith: Daniel Schmachtenberger, when you look inside what do you see?

The problem with the capitalist economic system (and every other economic system yet tried) is that prices do not honestly represent costs. The remedy is to charge hefty fees when industries extract resources, emit pollution or destroy wildlife habitat. The policy will be fair if fee proceeds are shared equally. This is good, because the other systemic defect is our failure to share natural wealth. The proceeds from fees will be a monetary representation of natural wealth. By respecting basic moral precepts (truth and fairness are primary values), we will promote sustainability and end abject poverty. The change in paradigm will convert humans from something like cancer cells of Earth to neurons or brain cells. (Profit motive will drive efforts to reduce harm, like a sensory nervous system for the Earth.)

34:45. Also golems. Some of us have been talking about corporate golms for quite a while.

Better than just listening is then work at improving culture to foster collaboration and care. It is easy and if you work at it regularly, you will singlehandedly greatly improve your community and society. All you have to do is spread the word about the need to foster intelligent altruism by advocating it and organizing it with free collaboration networks that meet people's needs unconditionally, out of generosity and understanding of our interdependence. Go, go, go! What are you waiting for!/

To keep away or to bind in?

Wow

Please tell us you are in touch with Peter Joseph!

Simple question: i have been studying these questions for more than 15 years now…and it is becoming difficult on a psychological level as Im highly aware and sensitive person. How do you manage these aspects?

Taking notes, everyone??

There are no solutions only trade offs. Every problem can be complexed. Variables can always be added to change outcomes. And sometimes they are not as complexed as we may think. Sometimes all it takes is common sense

I would love to listen to a conversation between Daniel Schmachtenberger and Curtis Yarvin.

Wait, what? There's no Part 3? I'm confused...

The truth is in his sighs.

13:00 what about a third group, with the 5x multiplier across people, run by an AI with access to the whole information set, and the authority to act in the best interests of the whole? (with the caveat that this explanation is one sentence long)

Highly intelligent. But why not the dynamics of an interview or dialogue instead of a long monologue?

Change the belief so you can change the behavior

I already wrote this commenting part 1 but it fits even better here: Any solution Daniel proposes includes AI and global control. They are currently in the hands of a power elite beyond democratic control. Daniel offers no short term solution to the problem of how to install that democratic control. Instead he promotes AI and global control as means to fight existential risks. The famous Philanthropists tell us the same. It strenghens their position because they are (more or less) in control of AI. So this might end up undermining scepticism against AI and global control, because they are necessary to fight existential risks - but only strengthening the powers that be. Game theoretically you should propably look at it like this: Any solution must include a strategy to reign in the existing power elites. (Daniels multi-polar traps) If you don't, they will grab anything you build up. If you have, they will construe a counter-tactic - and they have much vaster ressources. So either you coopt with them, because they have the power to do things and you don't. Or you don't publicize your strategy in order not to attract their attention and provoke counter-tactics. Is that why he does not name the World Economic Forum and Schwabs intense networking, Gates etc. and why he mainly only vaguely talks of "institutions" "hyperactors"? What is Daniel doing?

Hungrybox is a man of many talents

Benevolent Machiavellianism ?

The problem is simply believing there's a problem. No belief. No problem.

I think that the greatest mistake made by humans is to accept the hubristic idea that we have dominion over the earth.

Mangling language at every turn, not easy, but done supernaturally well.

Thought 2 - Daniel is a serious techno-optimist. I don't have the knowledge to say if I'm wrong or if he is, but, the way I see it he is grossly over-optimistic. AI at present is simply complex algorithms - and algorithms basically output a defined output based on input - in my experience w/ climate models (we're taking large, multi-variate datasets). This is good (means the dystopian world of 99% job replacement is unrealistic - unfortunately 90% probably is realistic ... At least machines are bad at screws?), but also possibly bad as the potential for AI may be far more limited than Daniel thinks (and so less helpful at solving our problems). So. My input - I suspect there is great value in prioritizing social relationship and connectedness. In my mind, the root of the problem is tribal - people are wired to connect to only 50 or so other people. Thus, a CEO choosing to prioritize the profits and fortunes of shareholders and elites that he knows makes sense - only those 50ish people are counted as "people" in his mental calculus - the others are just numbers. If we can enhance connectedness among many people of all sorts, perhaps we can grow what is innately, unconsciously seen as "my tribe".

I like so much of what he has to say, but I find some of his assumptions unfounded and possibly crippling to his conclusions, like that... 1. The most vicious, ruthless independent actor is the most effective (when there is clear evidence that is not the case: i.e. multicellular life, bees, human beings) 2. The success of certain enterprises was due to the capabilities of great men (i.e. Alexander the Great) who had abilities several standard deviations above the mean (when there is evidence that most of these individuals had exceptional environmental factors, i.e. multiple exceptional tutors including Aristotle). So much of what he says is good, but I feel like these assumptions make Daniel dismiss important possibilities, like that transparency, art, pro-social behavior, etc. are in fact adaptive and just need the right coordination mechanism to unlock their potential.

Egregores… interesting phrase

I guess that’s how the next step of evolution from Deepak Chopra sounds like. Terms like “collective choice-making”, “singleton” and so on are just pompous and/or clunky (you never hear of singletons unless you are a programmer, and here he just means a world ruler). The mash-up of ideas are supposed to reveal hiherto unseen dimensions, but the pace at which this happens (something else every second sentence) is more loose postmodern metaphorical jargon, where you kind of guess what he could have possibly meant. Wake me up when lesser thinkers have digested his surely brilliant ideas, and they become accessible.

Is this a sequel to the Celestine Prophecy?

This reminds me of Ken Wilber's book 'Boomeritis' and also the first Star Trek movie. Boomeritis was supposed to be a comedy but the subject was too scary where a conscious AI would have to ascend all the stages of consciousness. Who wants an AI at early Klingon? The first Star Trek movie was about an AI finally finding meaning by falling in love. Your thought experiments are fingers pointing to the moon, as a Taoist might say, but I feel better attempts to imitate Christ is the best road. Jordan Peterson is doing this, James Lindsay seems to be realizing this too. Ken Wilber's tremendous efforts never really dealt with sin very well, imo.

Rupert Murdoch 10 standard deviations from the norm. An actual agent of Moloch

Most Luddites are not against technology. They are against technology that destroys individual souls, families, tribes and villages. They were not against looms, only against industrial looms. Most industrial tech, even before becoming "exponential", was destructive to the above levels of human organization (whether used in capitalism or socialism). Craft technology didn't do that as easily (though it could do some destruction of souls if used in sweatshops). The higher levels of organization in this third attractor should just prevent inter-tribal resource wars and keep global information flowing. There is no need for fancy AI to do that. The lower levels need to outcompete the global economy, which they won't do with efficiency of production or attention-grabbing algorithms, but they could do with communion (between people in families and tribes, and between people and their living land), and with good work that connects people's gifts to below Dunbar number tribal needs. Exponential tech will not continue if people's attention is on their own souls, their family, their tribe, and the living creatures of their land. The lower levels were outcompeted by the global economy before, but now people have seen where this led (similar to addicts who have sobered up) and know better, they just need the choices that were available with these lower levels to be available again.

comment for the algorithm!

yes, just watched a little more... didn't see part 1 but why would you call the "trap" a bad thing. in whatever reality you are describing the redundancy of the trap is verification that group A or B are continuing 1 step ahead of each other, and back and forth... a complete victory would be failure, it would imply group A did away with group B... In the question you only wanted A to be ahead of B, not beat them; thats how the redundancy is a positive , because B doesn't stop, they then try to catch up once A is ahead... and A has to move up again, etc...

15:05

So, washing dishes here. I wonder - could it be that "the" answer is global in scale - something like NATO but literally and genuinely including the entire planet? I suspect rule 1 would be "no trans-continental import/export". Could a global body with the authority to dictate foreign policy to individual nations work? ... I suppose that depends on its military prowess. :/
