I would say, "Its not gonna systematize itself!"... but it will, and it does, through us.

Dissensians have only interpreted dematerialization, in various ways. The point, however, is to dematerialize!

Very true - but everyone else (sitting in the back) needs their potential coaxed out of them by a proper play. They need to be plugged into the system - consensually, of course...

there's a rule on dissensus and it goes 'the boring answer is always the wrong answer.' it's our equivalent to Ockhams Razor.
This is not new. Par for the course out there. It's not 2020 specific.

Seems to be happening more frequently though. I think there's been like seven all attached to COVID.

This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time.
That’s when it hit me: At least as far as these gentlemen were concerned, this was a talk about the future of technology. Taking their cue from Elon Musk colonizing Mars, Peter Thiel reversing the aging process, or Sam Altman and Ray Kurzweil uploading their minds into supercomputers, they were preparing for a digital future that had a whole lot less to do with making the world a better place than it did with transcending the human condition altogether and insulating themselves from a very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migrations, global pandemics, nativist panic, and resource depletion. For them, the future of technology is really about just one thing: escape.
