It is typical to my style, to start something off in a mysterious manner, but this can be taken as a joke. I chose the username Spitler to demonstrate the difference and the union between right/left thinking, but with a slightly surrealist tone.
But, moving on.
I would like to give warm thanks to those who have participated in this topic. I understand, it can be understood by the group at large on this earth, that technologically we are struggling. While the major economies are booming, it seems that the costs are still ever-so present in the military sector, which accounts for, and to quote
U.S. defense expenditure in 2017 came to just under $686 billion, equating to 3.6 percent of GDP. By comparison, Germany spent around $45 billion on its armed forces last year, 1.2 percent of GDP.
Citizens, or civilians, sounds very defensive in tone, and it can easily be said that with the rise of policing and military costs, the ideas present themselves and transfer themselves in very particular hands. Whose hands, may we ask?
Take for example, twitter, which prevented people, a few years ago at least, from posting publicly to celebrities, while the sponsors, the event organisers, act behind the scenes and entice small minds in to their ways of doing things. This is the specialisation of marketing within closed fields, simply where social democracy becomes a fest between those who know best and those who don't, determined by social circles and not overall policy of functioning systems. It is, perhaps, what could be seen as liberal trickle-down economics. Whether a system is bottom-up or top-down, it matters not to dwell on neoliberalism when the distribution models are not favouring the impetus for higher or grander schemes within decision making frameworks. Call life small minded if you will. Neoliberalism is often a junk term thrown around with little meaning. If it can be understood, then that would help.
Originally written as:
"Whether a system is bottom-up or top-down, it matters not to dwell on neoliberalism or the grand scheme of the middle class, when the distribution models are not favouring the impetus for higher or grander schemes within decision making frameworks. Call life small minded if you will."
This is what cements the importance of military presence as a class of its own, acting remotely, but gifted with authority, and trained through journalism and media.
Costs need to be diverted through a social program and then afterwards an economic model.
Let us debate the meaning of patents. I pose the question for my Human Corporation Language:
How often are patents cut off from circulation, and can families benefit from patents that have been held as a family possession? Can this be sponsored by the state?
The question is posed because quite literally, there are different ruling classes available, and conflict arises in modern times due to intellectual property and the intellect process. For example, if the intellectual property of the iphone x was explored, what would the findings be? Who is in charge of the patenting system by-in large?
I propose that the game maker community search the internet for families with patents, and get these families involved in civil discourse and democracy. That way, a positive archive can begin, of all matters of a material/scientific interest. This would, on the surface of it, satisfy the term: "Citizens."
I remember for example, the process where the cog with the smiley face as a the logo was rejected. But at the same time, creating logos is a bit like patenting and it can affect the final outcome for what has a certain name, what is named X or Y, and so on. I would like to see this Citizens project to find out more.
Finally, and apologies to bearman_18; I have to move at my own pace in this discussion. And you said in the topic, Mafiawars, that you are limited with your internet access. But if you have thoughts, always feel free. I have waited a little while to collect my thoughts, and for others to have collected their thoughts also.
-- Other question: Can anyone shed light on the patenting system in China under the communist party of China? Can gamemaker extend patenting to international bodies and systems?
