manifesto 8-8-25

I believe that e/acc is the only competitive game optimal strategy for governments, hegemonies, corporations, and individuals. The cat is out of the bag so to speak and we may only hope that capitalist innovation can save us from ourselves. I do not see a world where policy and regulation can undo the detriment that we have caused to our environment, social trust, and health of all forms. May innovation, prosperity and technology cure us all.

I believe in infinite games. I don't like zero sum. I am self competitive and tribal. I like to string together small wins for momentum. I design systems - both in code and in life. I believe that the outcomes that require great effort are the endeavors worth pursuing.

I believe in long term games. Compounding interest, asymmetric returns, and passive return. This applies to business, relationships, hobbies, skills, and more.

I choose to be stubborn and convicted in my beliefs - but to keep an open mind to new information and trends. I believe that the most important intractable problems are social and political, and acknowledge that brute rationalism is not an effective solution to altering collective psychology.

I believe in utilitarianism to a point. See utility monster.

I believe most societal functions condition us to subservience and compliance. I choose radical agency and accountability for my outcomes, and seek others who reject the norms and elect for a higher risk tolerance for the sake of creation and innovation.
