it's fine though because everybody's trying to clear away all opposition so they can have their way, but if they succeed too well they collapse, so we'll evolve ways to be worse and worse at winning much evidence this has been going superbly for a whilehttps://twitter.com/rainherself/status/1194671308501594113 …

I always thought of this as the reason systems that relied on competition were ultimately futile -- someone eventually wins, and then they stop working. If that's really the only thing that works then we might as well just burn everything.

systems that rely on competition are ultimately futile: yes, also all other systems that's really the only thing that works: yes we might as well just burn everything: yes also might as well do any other thing we like if the end state is known, the end state is not the point

i figure if the state at t is indistinguishable from the state at t+n for all t > k and all n > 0 then we might as well call that an end state

is k positive? does a negative distribution affect end state recognition? what are the confidence intervals for determining "indistinguishability"? i would like a full list of your academic sources on my desk by the end of the day
