Ideal capitalism (which doesnt exist) maximizes by default short term profit of comodities (tree is valued by how much you get from extracting it) which goes against longtermist goals so regulations (like carbon tax or AI regulation) try to fix those loop holes to direct it correctly, but this is trying to fix the symptoms of the inherent economic system, and we could maybe instead try to redesign the economic system from first principles that things are valued holistically (tree is part of ecosystem that when cut down casacades to climate change related food scarsities), could system ran on AI do this?

Activism and lobbying into good actors in this hiearhical process to make destructive actions or actions with externalities less profitable and morally right to make economic incentive for the right kinds of actions in terms of minimizing Molochian dynamics. Closing the unsustainable loops inside economy that lead to pollution. Trees maintain the ecosystem's soil, many things live there, it interacts with water sources etc. and we dont even fully know how it works and by lumber extraction we get marginal local game theoretic advantage but potentially millions of dollars in terms of damage in the long term in terms of floods and extreme weather events or droughts or general ecosystem loss that we dont tend to factor, we affect suff that is in the unknown set that we cant fully measure because of its big interconnectivity and complexity and predictively chaotic behavior. Overall biological systems do holistic interconnected computations across scales that evolutionarily evovled by tons of natural selection and thats why they're so good at computing and plastic and unpredictable while our artificial machines predictively exploit just mostly one scale and one type of computation.

The answer to all of the problems is all of the solutions, I believe many solutions should to be more deployed synergetically more than the current attempts to make collective survival and flourishing more probable. I'm deeply optimistic the collective efforts across solutions will be enough, which is both optimistic prediction and fueling motivation for changing stuff for the better, as the opposite counterfactual implies hopelessness and doom and decreases chances of things actually getting better if people have that belief. Collective beliefs are both predicting and forming the future. Good future will happen! Darwinian bonds will be transcended. Consciousness will flourish. QRI is the key player for reverseengineering consciousness. There will be infinite bliss gradients in game theoretically stable system undestroyable by petrubations. Let's make this happen collectively. Reverseengineering consciousness and universe. Beating Replicators. Beating Moloch.

One can model fuzzy Markov blankets, where degree of fuzzyness is index as inner product of hessian and senesoidal flow being 0 in an idealized Markov blanket. Current state of the world - psychopathic power structure thinking locally and short term are dominating, inhabiting coopration against global long term crisis that whole humanity faces Force the change of their internal workings Create new ones that outcompete them, or merge with them through cooperation and make them less psychopathic (competition leads to psychopathy tho) What do we want? Reduce uncertainity about our basic needs and (evolutionary pressured by nature plus nurture) learned goals driven by values (minimize Active Inference agent's free energy (decrease dissonance) of objective functions pretrained by evolution or culture or individual inquiry in interconnected societal system). Evolution pretrained us to automatically depend on others in family, community, culture, nation state etc. That's broken by genes correlating with psychopathy combined with environmental influences such as for example pollution, inflamation, or depending uncertainity minimizing mutual agent to agent bond being unsuccesful and thus breaking, leading to feeling hurt and cascading trust issues leading to asymmetries and rivalious dynamics and isolation and alienation and individualization of the agent or clusters of agents in their social graph in relation to mimimizing uncertainity about basic needs, leading to loneliness and dissolution of motivation for collective synchronized sensemaking and shared goals to survive and flourish collectively, which can is fixable by strong enough evidence that bonding is worth it to satisfy basic needs and goals collectively by compatible language or action. Leaders do collective uncertainity reduction this at scale. We need more efficient leaders reducing population's uncertainity by speech with realistic models and incentivizing people to actions that increase collective chances of survival and future flourishing, giving people sense of meaning and sense of connectedness with the collective Many leaders with slightly different fundamental assumptions emerge, but with the same intention of unifying people to survive and flourish. Could metaleaders aligning existing leader's languages help? Could the underlying crisis of metacrisis be interpreted as valence crisis as a sign of dying humanity superorganism? Possibly too pesimistic interpretation. More like tons of before differianted human superorganisms attempting to merge together as their markov blanket boundaries dissolve together thanks to the internet, will we do it succesfully? Are we witnessing the statistical merging of Europe, then merging of Europe with America and rest of the world, is China succesfully stable markov blanket on its own?

When they're helping their tribe, or ingroup in general, unless you're a psychopath, and according to some researchers, psychopathy is on the rise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/surviving-the-female-psychopath/202206/does-psychopathy-begin-us Where's the problem? I doubt genetic profile has changed, let's look into environmental factors. A lot of people report not being satisfied with their job, not seeing meaning in it, such as for example soul numbing corporate jobs, living from paycheck to paycheck. We need to feel connected to the collective and feel like we're doing good for it. This is the loneliness/interconnectedness crisis. We must cultivate a culture of connection to fix this. There are so many asymmetries in cultural dynamics killing this. Instead of making money for overly rich boss that's not altruistic, we wanna feel like adding value to our ingroup directly. This makes sense evolutionary, as this is the conditions we mostly evolved in. If i feel like burning out, i do literally nothing (exact superresting meditation technique) and remind myself why I'm doing this for further motivation for a day christianity is so evolutionarily fit in the evoltuionary dnyamics of cultural frameworks because it implements high valence structures (God as reality loves you) and spreads by converting or annihilating those who dont believe (treat others as you wanna be treated: if you didnt believe in god, you would want others to convert or annihilate you in this framework) [Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed]([Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed]([Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed]([Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed]([Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed]([Thinking through other minds: A variational approach to cognition and culture - PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31142395/)))))) I think many of the individual solutions to the metacrisis can be modelled as fundamental and everything downstream from that, many thinkers ended up with that in their model, but I think they're all partial. I tend to be often on the side that education is one of the strongest factors that should be enhanced and many things downstream from it. There are many methods to achieve that for example, I'm slowly mapping them out. You can try to get people with lots of power on your side (those that have causal power over how education is realized) for example and try to speak as much as possible their language and incetivize positive change via dialog, money, contribution etc. Or for example if you have wealthy people or government destroying rainforests, here you can talk their language by appealing to the fact that it kills climate and ecosystems leading to crop failures leading to food scarity leading to internal instability of angry people thats hard to govern and costs lots of money. I would say its about finding where you have the highest chances, as an individual, or as a collective. Many movements are attempting to do the many reforms already, so supporting those, finding what actors are more likely to get on your side, etc. Science communication about these problems. Some friction will almost always happen. I would say it's about minimizing it. Sometimes only confrontation prevents long term harm. Sometimes too much confrontation can be counterproductive instead. Being too radical might end up damaging somewhere, but might be good somewhere. Depends a lot on the current problem space I would argue. Some issues with deep roots will probably need much more radical changes, I agree. Redesigning how current money mechanism and its physics works by changing it into something different that doesnt generate as much perverse incentives by for example less reductivity - that would require lots of big changes. I would argue it all lives on a spectrum. From changing slightly what is to extreme changes. I would say its about finding what is the best middle way. I believe current dynamics will be changed by all the various movements attempting to change for the better on this spectrum. As an individual I attempt to be as effective agent as possible by so far mostly learning about all these things and communicating them and I want to do more educating. I am/plan to join more forces with various other people attempting to help all of this. I wish one person could help all of it at the same time, but that's impossible. Strenghtening collective effort in all the various problem landscapes is big part of it. Hopefully the collective acceleration will in good direction and strong enough. I can do only so much as one agent that is attempting to help this. Attempt at (automated?) mass education is one way. There are various analysis methods for calculating how impactful your intervention can be from Effective Altruism etc. [Four modes of thinking about cause prioritization | by Jakub Simek | Giving On The Edge | Medium]([Four modes of thinking about cause prioritization | by Jakub Simek | Giving On The Edge | Medium]([Four modes of thinking about cause prioritization | by Jakub Simek | Giving On The Edge | Medium](https://medium.com/giving-on-the-edge/four-modes-of-thinking-about-cause-prioritization-8b9f81abd6b0))) consciousness vs replicators
