General Framework # Religion or Philosophy or Nothing? # From Physics to Existentialism # Why Existentialism # Sea of endless purposes, but you can pick one # With your picked purpose, a clear path can be made To move around intellectually one must first pick a general framework to work within. Now although this grounding framework cannot be used as a proven fact in an argument, if we are to build ideas from a first-principles standpoint these general frameworks are your starting assumption of how that world works.

On the surface, freedom sounds like an amazing feature to have in your society. Why should I have people telling me how I can live my life? But even with that question, I can already see a flaw. Laws are clearly needed in a society, but they limit my freedom. So maybe freedom is not as strong as we first thought.
The question for building any society to break down the needed and desired features.

To think that Capitalism is the steady-state or even the best economic system that humans can think of is a slap in the face of the engineering mindset. But even with that, it is true to say that it is the strongest and most powerful system that is in place today (2021). We can add higher-order Socialist terms to help correct some of the downfalls of Capitalism, but switching to Socialism, as our economic system would not be beneficial.

When humans were first starting to socialize and group together, peer to peer connectivity was high but low in numbers. Tribal communities of max 150-200 people had high peer-to-peer connectivity. People in the tribe knew each other very closely and personally. They had to. Without a large fictional group to be organized by, people had to actually learn and trust each other.
But as technology increases, the level of peer-to-peer connectivity decreases.

Imagine you’re designing a scheduling scheme for the CPU in your computer. Or in another abstraction, you’re attempting to run multiple programs on your computer. (The computer architecture analogy works well when dealing with systems that need to be optimized because CPU schedulers and computers in general have been optimized both on a heuristic and mathematical level. They are great examples of engineers and theorists doing amazing work.) In both of these scenarios, we have an entity that needs to manage multiple tasks.

If a word does not have a defined functionality or purpose attached/associated with it, that word has not been optimized.
A sharper-than-normal rock might be used as a cutting tool, no one has sharpened this rock with purpose. It is just an object found in nature. It’s sharpness only arises from the action of erosion or gravity dropping it. Likewise, this rock has not been created by a human, an organism with the ability to think abstractly about things and to create with purpose.

Perspective (noun): the capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance
The human body interfaces with the outside through our five senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. This information from the outside world then filters through the body into the brain where it is processed. With regards to how someone sees the world, their perspective, variation can come in three different ways.
The first, and less complex one, is variation in our actual mechanics of gathering information from the outside world; these are the five senses stated before.

Injecting real world value into video games. Often people implicate monetary values to in-game items but they have no other value except happiness. I want to somehow link work in the video game into work like data processing or computation.
maybe could be a rendering thing, people play the game and render the new world and send this data back to the devs.
