The post recounts how a small team built “Cosmopolis,” a lightweight web‑based wiki‑style editor in under 100 lines of Node.js/Express code that uses simple alphanumeric file names to resolve concurrent edits and keep all servers in sync. They added user support with chatbots (Alice and Bob) that could automate tasks—like fetching weather or shipping Amazon groceries—and later let real people take over those bot accounts. The project quickly grew into a live simulation of a city (“Night City”) where bots and users could interact, trade services, and earn money, catching the eye of the United Nations as it evolved toward version 2.0.

The Conjecture

The Conjecture

In 2020 a simple web‑based simulation of a city was created to test how easily its institutions could be corrupted; the experiment proved that by modeling officials as bots and letting citizens vote on concrete actions rather than representatives, corruption collapsed and real jobs, tasks, and even prison systems could be automated with transparency. Within a decade the program, run on modest Android tablets, spread to roughly ten thousand cities worldwide, replaced manual city management with a corruption‑resistant scaffold that let people vote on issues, claim bounties for public work, and manage schools and prisons through data‑rich bots. The result was a “virtual metropolis” linking all towns, eliminating joblessness, reducing crime, ending wars, and driving climate action by 2030, while the original programmers were celebrated with Nobel Peace Prizes and monuments—proof that a system built from scratch to resist corruption can transform cities into cooperative, self‑sustaining communities.

In the post, the author envisions a new era where younger generations will abandon blind mistakes and recognize that borders—political, cultural, religious—divide and weaken humanity. He argues that while we still believe in our solutions, the internet, climate change, and nuclear threats make children see that current systems fail to grow humanity. The revolution will be quiet: schools must become “real” so that elementary education works but middle‑school fails, high school and university break students’ hearts, and open curriculum and debt cripple learning. Each child has a unique path to knowledge—music, math, art, science—and when education reduces it to memorization, kids lose faith in their genius. The author calls for renewed real schools that restore each person’s connection to wisdom so that future generations can truly grow.

On Bringing Books To Life

On Bringing Books To Life

Books are the most resilient, tested, and lasting units of information that transfer large amounts of knowledge between humans. Reading a book is like eating soup from a can: it’s nutritious, tastes OK, but there is a better way—an audio book narrated by a capable voice. By recording a book we can bring it along on adventures such as nature walks in state parks; the combination of walking and listening reveals the paper book’s essence and lets us process its ideas fully. A paper book stores ideas for long‑term archiving, while an audio version lets us hear the author’s soul, heart, and spirit, making the content more personal. Companies that can produce meaningful audiobooks should release them to students now; access to knowledge is a moral duty, especially for young people facing new challenges.

The post reflects on how we often accept authority uncritically, lose sight of reality, and neglect integration of knowledge because life is busy; it stresses the importance of a balanced pace for mental hygiene and learning, noting that the need to pause signals imbalance. It then celebrates storytelling as essential for imagination, advocating books—especially paper ones—as vessels of personal treasure while acknowledging audio versions can convey emotion and wisdom, and highlighting public‑domain classics such as *Meditations*, *The Art of War* and *Hagakure* as ideal candidates for voice recordings; the author even suggests creative mixing of narratives to enliven slower parts, urging readers to use modern tools like documentaries, videos, lectures and speeches, and to cherish works born of love for future generations.

The post celebrates the transformative power of elementary schools while lamenting how modern teaching often reduces learning to rote memorization—especially of multiplication tables—which erodes students’ confidence and makes math seem merely procedural rather than meaningful. It argues that true mastery comes from studying the history and underlying ideas of mathematics, treating numbers as a language of the universe, and engaging with real‑world applications such as programming or design. The author encourages students to believe in their own genius, to seek inspiration from places like Walden Pond, Westminster Abbey, and the Appalachian Trail, and to learn through writing, listening, and self‑guided exploration so that education becomes a lifelong, authentic pursuit rather than a paycheck‑driven chore.

The post stresses that knowledge must not become a revenue source; otherwise schools lose prestige and burden students, whereas open access benefits everyone and promotes collaborative learning.

Authenticity and Pursuit of Excellence form a two‑step strategy for fighting cultural indoctrination: first, become self‑aware enough to spot inconsistencies in your own life and the culture around you; second, pursue knowledge deliberately through audio books, videos, surveys, and other media that genuinely interest you. The post uses school as an example of how students often think they are learning but only memorize for grades, while true mastery comes from persistent self‑study. By adding authenticity to this process, one can confirm whether the learning feels real or forced; by pursuing excellence, one builds a solid knowledge base that lets him move beyond superficial indoctrination and become wiser.

We Must All Write

Writing is portrayed as a dynamic tool for self‑reflection and creative expression, likened to the spinning top in *Inception*; it allows one to evaluate oneself, and if one cannot write, one feels trapped by invisible walls. The author describes their own poetic style—two lines per stanza, occasionally three—to build short “movies” that coalesce into a small documentary. They view writing as an act of legacy: each generation must update the cultural surface so future people inherit a rebuilt library rather than a stale past. Climate change is cited as an example where knowledge and communication are essential; only through shared written insight can consensus emerge. Finally, the text urges especially young writers to produce books that speak directly to their peers—simple yet powerful—and to keep writing as a lifelong beacon that preserves history, inspires future heroes, and ultimately saves the world.

The author reflects on the ironic world where politicians wield atomic weapons yet celebrate peace, and argues that our broken schools and fake education leave us culturally impoverished so we cannot truly express ourselves in language. He urges a shift to “self‑education,” which he believes is more natural, less stressful, and a beautiful adventure than organized schooling. By embracing abstract thinking and creating a powerful, fun educational system, he thinks we can prevent stupid ideas from dominating the world. Writing itself, he claims, is the best way to become a good writer, allowing us to package our thoughts into poems and books that share with others.

The post compares a city’s institutions to interlinked computer programs that depend on each other for proper operation, using examples of human‑powered machines such as trash trucks and unmanned aircraft to illustrate how people act like CPUs in these systems. It argues that when the education system fails, it triggers crime and social collapse, showing how one institutional breakdown can ripple through a city. To restore balance, institutions must coordinate and keep their integrity, with the justice system scaling with schools’ performance rather than simply punishing failures. Finally, the piece stresses that human‑powered institutions carry “heart” – prioritizing the poor, ill, homeless, and uneducated by providing homes, care, and business opportunities for students – an approach he calls “Love Above Law.”
