Make Things Simple

I'm actually making rapid progress with my drone photography project. I have a working prototype system and I've been testing different scenarios for a couple weeks to see what its limitations are. The method of stitching the photos together works up to a certain level of detail, then just falls on its face. I worked on the system and algorithms developed for the "Shazam" application in 2010 (for a different company than Shazam) and they had similar problems because the algorithms are similar. They're kind of insectoid-stupid systems.

That said, I can see there's probably even a market for it, so I'll continue along for another month or so and try to make some cash with it. That'll be interesting. If I can really improve the algorithms, it'll probably be pretty "valuable".

At the same time, I can see we're heading toward a fairly dark-stormy future where nobody will give two shits about drone photographs of their property. The drone photos would probably only capture them huddling in the corner or outside rending their garments as their world crumbles.

The timing on that is hard to predict, but I think it'll be sooner than later. Maybe there will be some regional wars and a general shift of power and restructuring of the shitty financial system into something even shittier. The mal-investment of the shitty United States Government and corporations is going to come home to roost really soon. Maybe before 2021 is over!

A key realization I've had is that our rube goldberg contraption economic system and corporate system and governments is are not really a reflection of nature, but are a manifestation of the inner world of the inbred freaks who run the banks and the governments and corporations. Those people could not be further from nature. The pile of nonsense, paperwork, regulations, and legal contrivances are just like some rubble-walls around their fortress of inner-world-insanity and gibberish.

Clean, neat, and simple methods of doing things and providing for people that actually benefit people instead of "shareholders" and bankers would probably kick the living shit out of their contraptions and methods of doing things. Their contraption based approach is just a codification of the particular behavior of a particular group of people that's been abstracted to a degree and imposed on a larger population. They're not better methods. They're significantly worse methods.

Imagine two businesses--one is the "Bootstrap firewood home heating company", the other is the "Credit based firewood home heating company". Bootstrap company fills a basic need. It has minimal infrastructure and overhead and finances itself. Credit company does the same thing, but gets loans to pay for a bunch of equipment, a storefront, offices, etc... it has accountants and business managers.

Credit company is completely informed by the gibberish retard world of business schools and bankers. It's a paper contrivance that generates "income" by subtracting cash-flow in, from cash-flow out to cover loans. It needs everyone else to act the same way. The cash has to keep circulating from the banks out to the periphery of their economy and back through organizations like Credit firewood company, otherwise the whole shitty system implodes. Credit company needs to get customers to sign up to contracts because its signed up to contracts to repay loans and it doesn't own anything. It's just a pile of paper.

Bootstrap company can have really simple relationships with customers because it doesn't owe anything to anybody and owns all its equipment outright and has no debts. It's "self-financing". It's not plugged into the shitty economic system at all. In fact it's deflationary. It's anathema to the money changers and their scam based society. Bootstrap company doesn't need any contracts and can have extremely simple transactions.

The problem Bootstrap company would eventually have were it to become very successful is that the scam-based scumbag economy would try to kill it as a competitor. It'll only be very limited in size, which is totally fine and more in keeping with its mission and beliefs anyway.

It's not hard to imagine a sort of decentralized system of similarly organized businesses--really like mom and pop america's revenge--striking back against the rube goldberg financialized shithole corporate world.
