      • traumatic adaptation
    • inadequate equilibria
    • moloch is what crawls through the crack of adaptive entropy
    • adaptive entropy is the friction that keeps systems from coordination
    • MS > entropy has this quality of leaking out & infecting things
      • MO > say more
      • MS > re perpetual motion machines
        • entropy is the thing that builds up
      • (adaptive confusion)
    • if someone has a burden of adaptive entropy inside, the identify function is going to latch onto a subsystem
    • MS > why ever force?
      • (because it appears there's no other way to achieve the result, and the result is written on the bottom line)
    • MS > NNTD feels particularly Holy Perfection to me

      • MO > if there is nothing god is telling me to do in a given moment, then I do whatever the fuck I want, and that's choice / free will
        • MS > whoa, yup, clicks. but means you can't value having choice, or you disincentivize hearing god
        • MO > you get free will / choice, but you don't get to demand it
        • MO > you get to choose what flavor of you you want to forever embed into the blockchain that is the upward spiral
        • noticing where choice is real
          • if you're confused about where you can or cannot choose
          • choice of turning away from god?
          • Bonds that make Us Free
          • MS >
            • NNTD derives free choice
            • Prime derives [listen to God] choice
        • NNTD as perfect forcelessness
