Remote migrating is bad

Turns out, nowadays everybody loves remote working.

We should be aware of the risk that also immigrants would ask this kind of benefit.

No, we need them here, doing those jobs we hate.

Bitcoin a store of nonsense

Experts say Bitcoin is not meant to be used as a digital currency, but rather as a "store of value". What a tomfoolery is this. You see, the value is in buying and trading, not in the mere retaining of any store of whatsoever value. The only thing retaining value is faith. There is something special, though, in cryptos: their value is totally based on the trust of people, and any trust you place in money is good per se. Hence, the only good crypto is the one you can use as a digital currency. Yes, it's this simple. 

Increase your customers, decrease people's skills

AI is good for expanding your customer base.

Want an example? Get AI applied to photography: today you still have that bunch of purist photographers who can laugh at photos taken with smartphones. But if you want to sell a photography software or service, would you rather have the small group of purists as buyers, or the unskilled millions with the smartphone in their pocket?

So it's time to use AI to allow millions of people to radically alter their photos, and even add fake content to them, so that the photos look decent or even good. Replace the sky, clean up the backgrounds, flatten the bellies, add flying birds, make eyes brighter, add sun rays, improve the overall composition, and so on, all with a single button: millions of people, without any effort or skill will believe they can take presentable or even special photos. It's this crowd that will make you rich, not the purist bunch. Please don't forget that this way all the pictures will tend to look the same, but people still want to feel like they're unique, even as fake photographers. So you will carefully sell different packets of different prices in different times.

Yes, yes, we know: some will complain that the arts will gradually disappear, because few people will pay professional artists anymore. You have to answer that actually you are helping humanity to rise up, that you are expanding the skills of men, that you are freeing them by making them more powerful and good at doing more sh*t in less time.

Well... so powerful that if the internet doesn't work, they can't even tie their own shoes, and they lose any operational autonomy, lol. There lies a special opportunity: when experts and artisans are less and less, then you have the world by the balls, because everyone depends on your services to get the job done.

The real economy is too imperfect: the artificial one will show its superiority.

Meta neuromarketing in schools

Ok, so you are a neuromarketer and your goal is forging bonds that turn the buyer into a brand advocate, by producing forms of subconscious, emotional impact.

But you silly, ineducated, greedy marketers can't give a shit about the consequences of your actions, even when a greater good is at stake. The point is, if you play dirty in those deeper layers of the mind and miss your target, you end up endangering the faith in Consumerism, and this is very bad.

Education is the answer. A meta-neuromarketing has to be a job for schools, to grow true consumerism advocates, rather than "single brand" advocates. Bring the competition on lower levels, don't mess with the Holy, so that if a single brand fails, the faith stays untouched.

When AI AIN't good

Yeah, sometimes AI ain't good: when it's application causes lots of job losses, it means less people will become customers, less of them able to spend their lives buying stuff.

Let's sabotage machine learning then. Start by reverse-tagging the stuff you publish online. A temporary chaos is still better than a deserted mall.

iPump for Apple iCar: success is selling a key to unlock it

A timeless trick: if cool people use X and I use X too, I'm part of their circle.

That's why that circle's borders need to be protected, with shit like Apple's Thunderstorm". And that's why, when the iCar will be around, you'll probably need an iPump for it.

Unfortunately Euro-dumbasses are forcing vendors to adopt a standard mobile charger.

Fight free for a wealthy Christmas

Christmas is near. In the following video I want you to face one of the possible consequencies of living a Christmas in economic recession: becoming like these bonobos.
The less you can feed, the more you share because fighting wastes precious energy: so they share, because they're kept captive and with a prearranged amount of food. But when you're free and dream of living in wealth, then you fight for more.

God bless freedom. Now choose you side.

Of dreaming together, or calling a cave our home

The only way to do great work is to love what you do

said Steve Jobs.

But to make this true, you first need to understand whether what you love has a good value on the market, or it can't become your job. And if it hasn't, your first goal will be to induce a particular need in people, so that later you can satisfy it by selling them that "something" you love doing.

In this process, someone may fall in love with the activity itself of inducing needs in people, for it's very enjoyable. The more inconsistent the desire you're inducing, the nicer the sensation when you succeed.

Whatever the need you're inducing, you'll soon realize than doing it alone is impossible: enter the Corporation, the perfect body to accomplish this task.
Everyone working in the corporation needs to feel love for what they do. As leader your vision will inspire all those workers evangelizers, and the more the Corporation will succeed, the more its employees will proudly indentify with it, with a faith enabling their active participation.

The Corporation becomes way more than just a single man's dream, and the Lord rewards all the people involved in it, by forgiving them for anything their corporation does to the world.

This is the ecumenical dimension of the capitalism of dreaming together, an inclusive vision of love, where the only evil is standing alone outside the dream.

I shop therefore you are, in practice

The following video may seem hilarious to lots of naive people, but truth is: there here are much higher reasons to smile than satire, here. This is one of the practical declinations of the "I shop therefore you are" credo:

Fritzl for Nespresso's italian commercials

And you won't let anyone compromise your pleasure

Can you agree not? But in the italian adaptation of "In the name of pleasure", the new Nespresso's campaign, the commercial has gone a little step further:

It sounds even better than the original, and J. Fritzl shows his appreciation

WSJ and the Black Thanksgiving

My heart rejoyces at seeing how Wall Street Journal's nonsensical "Stay home, America" call, has properly been translated and executed in a classic American frenzy for shopping.
Ask your kids what Thanksgiving is, and they'll answer:

The day we eat turkey before getting in line.

This is no "shopping on Thanksgiving", but a welcome merge between holy and shopping. Go and celebrate the harvest like an American does, God bless you

The need for more needing

They always tell me: you need more.
But 'more' isnt' always better. Better is, always needing for something.
Don't mistake the finger for the Moon.

A gayer Gaia

I wish there were more gay people in the world, because this would naturally help containing the overpopulation. If Lovelock's hypotesis is correct, then our Gaia should be working at it, but sorry: I don't trust anything alive.

A gayer world for a less overpopulated planet means that all the Countries in the world must share similar sexual practices. Otherwise all the gay couples from the rich part of the world, would keep adopting kids from the heterosexual couples of the Third world, legitimating the procreational overactivity that endangers us all.

For these reasons, the legalization of child adoption for gay couples must be linked to a worldwide plan that homogeneously promotes homosexuality.
Hope the UN will take this counsel into consideration.

Dawn of the ConsuMan

Do the ends justify the means?
Often a silly question: 'course not. It's us, who do it, even if there would be no need to justify anything.

Nonetheless, lots of people say (maybe they don't really mean it) that humans shouldn't be treated like objects or lesser animals, for pursuing any 'greater good'. From this point of view, it'd be intrinsically bad to treat people as mere 'means'. But a simple glance on our everyday behavior easily reveals that ALL of us keep doing it, very often. We're so glad when it's in our power to decide who or what is to be used for our comforts and needs. So, let's decide: we sapiens sapiens are very evil, or the above question is wrong.

Now see how the Market goes. Our ability to turn virtually everything into profit means that there's always someone who'll buy what you sell: if it's of his interest, he may want to possess it. No matter how the seller got the X item, or under which conditions X's been crafted: a man temporary owns it, he sells it, another man buys it and forgets (or doesn't even want to know). Be the X some war-diamonds or rare woods, just add a good marketing and we see the light, glad to feel helped to forget any responsibility and guilt connected with the possession of them.

But it's here that lies the root of the evil, it's in this psychological dynamic. We are the Market, it is not just about products, and since the imperfect circle of stuff is a necessary step, focusing on it makes the Market look as an evil thing.

While in the end, making profit is POWER, and the research of it is what we are. Please notice how lots of rich people shamelessly spend their fortunes to buy what can't ordinary be sold, or outrageously unuseful stuff. Their thought is: "I know what this stuff means: I'm proving my power over people by spitting on their common sense".

In this third Millennium the superhuman needs an ultra-consumerism. This is the calling for a new man: let Sapiens-sapiens fade, and praise the dawn of the ConsuMan.

How to sell ebooks and dominate the market

Today I'll share with you a recipe, for those interested in the ebook business.

While the digital artifacts penetrate our lives, more and more people wish to make a more complete experience of the digital ecology.
In times of crisis like this, their usual habit is to search for discounts and/or buy used items. Why shouldn't they be allowed to do it with ebooks too? You can make people enjoy a full consumerist experience, and lock them in your nice walled garden to establish a dominion over the market. How? Follow these steps.

Step #1 Ebooks bound to your own ebook reader.
Sell ebooks on your online store, but make them readable only via your own ebook reader / software (like Amazon with its Kindle). Associate every ebook with a unique customer ID, so that anyone who wish to read it, must first be allowed to do so.

Step #2 The special ingredient.
Now allow people to 'sell'* their 'used' ebooks (uniquely) via your own online store. The seller will transfer his right (license) to read ebook X, to a buyer who'll pay to associate X's license with his own customer ID.
The seller gains store credit, not real money. The buyer pays a (not much**) lower price, but your store will charge every transaction with a fee, and will share a part of this income with the original ebook producer.

As a result, more people will buy on your store, because they'll find ebooks exaclty like new, at lower prices, but these ebooks can only be read within your own ebook reader and softwares.
No need to say that an armoured DRM protection system is needed, but that's not a big trouble when people are using your own ebook readers. Thanks to this, you have a firm control over hardware and software used to read the ebook.

Step #3 Lock them in.
If you've got this accomplished, you'll find your company in a very strong position over the competitors, because lots of people will buy your ebook readers to buy with lower prices. Sellers will use the gained store credit to buy more ebooks, so your business will grow very fast: because poor people have less money but they are a lot.
Now invest a part of the income to make sure that every school from primary to high will use your ebook readers. Sell ereaders to schools at the lowest price possible, you don't even need to make a direct profit out of this. You want people to use the name of your devices as synonym for 'book', colonize their common sense by educating the youth.
Now use all your power to lock people in, following the example of uncle Bill.

*the brackets are because people don't actually own the ebooks they buy, at present, but they're kinda renting a limited license
**you can always have control of the 'used' prices

"We are such stuff as products are made on"

"Know yourself to be a good consumer."
Believe me: I'm no hippie. But today it's not like in the old days gone, when you simply wish you had goods. The importance of desire is still there, as economy driver, but you know: raw materials prices could soon go up and up, and we're not ready for a new World War. Meanwhile, your home is already so filled with stuff that you don't have enough time to throw it away to make room for more, fast enough.

Thanks God, the internet helps us to go beyond the old market of goods and services. By accurately tracking people activity and social transactions, we can now sell personalized "experiences" to everyone: it's a new level of consumerism. Problem: do the masses really know a variety of experiences good enough to sustain such kind of Market? Short answer: no. If you don't know your inner self, if you don't have a fantasy powerful enough, you can't wish a variety of experiences, so the average Joe isn't ready for this new frontier.

Thus we need to focus on the average people existence, and capitalize more deeply those few experiences they wish to have everyday. One of these is the "authentic relationship" experience. We know it's scarcely available these days: since it requires dedication, resources, time and empathy, it's not compatible with consumerist lifestyle.
Though we're not able to simulate it ourselves to sell it like pussy, the next improved social networks could get to manipulate people identities and perception so much that everyone could desire to buy an acceptable "authentic" relationship experience, to consume it whenever they wish.

How? Basically, we just need to complete a job we started long ago: modify our minds so that we can perceive the relationship as an item, something we can have at our disposal to use is at our pleasure, in other words: something ready for the consume.

Even if we proved ourselves godly skilled  in objectifying life and people, this succesful actitivy did not touch our inner struggle for an authentic dialogue within a credible relationship. So we need to continue the work where we left it, and manipulate our perceptions. If it's true, like I believe, that

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on

then the work shouldn't be so difficult. Happiness for everyone, without the need of anyone: a huge, endless Market. A new experience of the Holy is coming. Thank you my Lord, for we can turn evolution into Profit. 

Prosit? Profit!

Prosit was a kind of ancient latin toast, meaning "may it be good for you". Today some people keep using it, though it sounds definitely outdated.

Why not use "Profit" instead? Is there any better greeting?

In the Profitsphere, we're the business

«I'm not in the business. I AM the business»

So do us, lovely Rachel.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Finding words to describe our own identity outside consumerism is as easy as filling our lungs in the empty space. Profit is part of our culture, no man we know lives outside it. No man we could get to know, lives outside the Profitsphere, which is the most proper name for the human cultural system.

Or, at least, it's the only human cultural system that's going to prevail and last. 

Feeling guilty: Trusted Computing, Greenwashing, and the holy Profit

Trusted Computing and Greenwashing are becoming popular expressions today. What do they have in common?

They refer to advertising practices, which bend the words' real meaning to modify public perception of evil businesses; they also help the consumer forgetting those remorses caused by his permanent activity as free consumerist agent, which certainly implies heavy pollution, economic inequality between poor and rich, the erosion of civil rights, et cetera.

But we need to deny and forget any possible link between morality and consumption: we've already seen that consuming is participating God while He displays his greatness on the Earth. Why feeling guilty about this?

The first men on the earth already had everything they needed to live happily, but our ancestors wanted to live nearer to God: some of them kept filling their days with hours of hard work to profit and buy, again and again, small parts of God's creation, even if it was at their disposal already. The demonstration of this relies in the fact that possessing an object doesn't give us any happiness:, while it's being in the circle of buying (and throwing) forever, which can make us feel so good.
Becoming rich can be seen as a secondary effect of this religious tension, it happens through Profit, but it doesn't mean happiness per se: being rich makes us nearer to God.

As for the title of this post: GreenWashing is appropriate for environmental topics, I'd suggest using TrustMantling / TrustGlazing / ElectrifiedTrust for everything related to Trusted Computing.

And when the Progress will have deepened its roots in men's hearts, one definition could unite all the lies required today in misleading advertisings: "Trusted Trust", a synonim for "God's Love" as something which doesn't require any external validation and is intrisically good. Isnt' trust good? Aren't Profit and Market good?
In example: your coal powerplant pollutes the world for your business? There's no need at all to pretend to be a tree hugger, creating more greewashing slogans like "clean coal". Just talk about God'sLove, Trusted Trust. The Profit sanctifies our actions!

Salt the Lexicon

Repo rate, trade deficit, B2B exchange, C-suite, face amount, jettison, Macaulay duration, nagware, quantitative easing, rack rent, T-bond, ultra vires, x-efficiency...

How is a consumer of the third millennium supposed to love the Market when business' lexicon is so weird? We deserve more, we have the right to feel good when speaking about anything shopping or profit related. The Globalised One wants to hold contact with our Soul, that is intrinsically economicistic.

Our best poets had to stick with foregone themes for centuries, why only communist countries put the arts at community's service?
