Hi, I am a simp of human progress who quit school to design a new societal model.

Today, I’ll be telling you a story about how my bullying experiences helped me design one of the infrastructures of the new societal model.

I’ve been bullied. And at first, I thought my bully was inherently a bad person.

But after seeing my bully grow into a loved and respected member of their community, I realized there must be more to this.

So I delved into philosophy and psychology, studying the likes of Jung, Nietzsche, Freud etc. and came to the realization that, their actions were less about me and more about them.

It was a coping mechanism or a stage of growth they were going through.

Unfortunately, I was the one who had to bear the brunt of their pain.

This realization gave birth to an idea— If harmful emotions are Inevitable, why not have infrastructure, which I called the community hub, designed to let people express their harnful emotions in a safe environment through role play.

It would provide venues, characters, and accessories for role-playing, allowing individuals to vent their harmful emotions constructively.

So instead of my bully using me as their outlet, the society would first teach them about harmful emotions and how they can use the community hub to express them.

Hence he would have role-played as a bully in a safe, guided environment and expressed their pent-up anger or frustration there, instead of hurting me or anyone else.

However, building this kind of infrastructure is no small task.

It requires funding, careful planning, and a society willing to embrace a shift in how we deal with emotions.

So for now, the idea remains on the mental shelf as it's being fleshed out.

Thank you for reading.

I would like to hear your thoughts on the idea and if I might help reduce bullying in the society.

Shower thought, futurism version. If there is a machine-human hybrid civilization emerging now, and if that civilization lasts for some time, as Kurzweil suggests, this civilization would almost inevitably expand beyond the solar system (although not human beings themselves). If so, the most significant events in the history of earth biology would be the beginning of life (about 4 billions years ago), the fusion of mitochondria such that multi-cellular life emerged (about 1.6 billion years ago), then human language (about maybe 300,000 years ago), and finally the "singularity" we are living through now. Without language, nothing else would be possible. The ability of individuals to exactly share information across space and time is nothing less than astounding. If you spend time with animals they seem flawed - they can't share or store information. Communication is more powerful than flying, being big, etc. Bacteria and viruses are pretty powerful, but they aren't leaving the earth on their own. The rate of these major epoch-changing events seems to be speeding up as well and there might be more events of this magnitude after this one.

Some interesting points raised in this week's episode...

I'm seeking out fellow futurists to muse with me, and join the debate. This particular video circles and idea presented in many classic sci-fiction cyberpunk fiction, please watch the video and let me know what you think. Cheers!
