Value Is Occupation

All right, I'm going to blow your fucking mind here.

The name of the game is ... and has always been ... value. Creating authentic fucking value.

We've got to explore the basic fundamentals of what value even means, and then we can go from there. Because I can guarantee hardly any of you have even thought about this.

What Does Value Mean?

Why is two valued more than one? Why does a $100 bill have more value than a $1 bill?

Imagine walking into an empty 20-foot by 20-foot room. There's absolutely nothing there except four walls, a ceiling, and a floor. There are no objects ... nothing in this room whatsoever.

Nothing within this environment has taken up space. Therefore there is nothing of value in the room. Since there are no objects, there's nothing to count. There's no value.

Now let's imagine that a big red ball just popped out of nowhere into the room.

How many objects are now in the room?

What has actually changed?

Somehow a big red ball established physical occupancy within some particular space-time coordinate ... of which no other form or figure could occupy. Therefore the value of the big red ball is a value of one. There is one big red ball.

In math, a value is an exact numerical quantity that is assigned, calculated, or measured. For instance, solving for a variable (like x) results in a specific "value" for that variable.

The Marketplace Pays for Rarity

Human beings are always compensated for the value they provide to the greater marketplace at large.

No matter what bullshit somebody tries to peddle you, the marketplace by and large compensates people for their competency. The marketplace is structured to pay people much more money to do the things that other people cannot quite do ... or do as well.

If you are highly capable at folding towels and flipping burgers, yet 95% of all human beings have this flipping burger merit badge ... then that skill will not be very valuable to the marketplace and will be compensated accordingly.

Highly paid athletes are paid ridiculous salaries because they can do the things that hardly anybody on earth can do.

Little do people realize: CEOs and people that run ridiculously complicated startups are compensated a thousand times more than their average employee ... not because the game is rigged ... but because they have a set of capabilities that are rare in the marketplace. And if they were not rare, the marketplace would supply that demand at a cheaper rate.

That's what the marketplace does.

People Are Programmed to Fail

Most people, from my interactions and observations, have a piss-poor relationship with value, personal economics, and exert an overall work ethic that reflects the true nature of that relationship ... which is at its base nature a relationship with their own inner psychology.

They have to give a shit about themselves.

People are programmed to be clock-watchers. Conditioned to the typical 9-to-5, hourly or salary wage for a hypothetical productivity factor of 1.

This is your standard productivity rate for your average worker. For every dollar of labor, the expected standard return of productivity ... unit of value ... needs to equal at least 1. That is the basic employer-employee working contract. You do X, Y, and Z, and I will compensate you $X.

That's the equation. That is the typical arrangement and economic contract.

But that's where most everyone stops the show. Mostly because they cannot yet imagine any fields of value beyond the scope of their own self-imposed limitations.

So most people don't even imagine, think, or believe any other sets of values exist. To them it's just the one-dimensional layer of the 9-to-5. Work time / my time.

The Exponential Layer

But in reality there is much more value that can be manifested, layered, cascaded, and synthesized to do things most people cannot imagine.

There are people that can be 10,000 times more valuable than the person they're standing next to.

Provide resolution for 1 person ... that's the beginning of realized value.

Provide resolution for a hundred people ... that's even more realized value.

Provide a solution for a million people's perceived points of pain and suffering ... and that value is increased accordingly.

Spawn Yourself

By extending yourself. By broadcasting yourself. By creating systems that can handle more and more of the workflow and workload.

By creating other entities that can occupy a particular coordinate in space-time just like you do, to perform the work just like you do ... yet however do not actually occupy a particular physical space-time coordinate. Since these intelligence systems are virtual and not physical.

That is to break off a piece of yourself that is functional enough to do what you need it to do.

One Form Per Pixel Point

We can only occupy this one particular allotment of space-time coordinate ... which is our physical body. Our terminal. Our avatar and interface.

There is only one human being that will occupy that particular physical location. Two or three people cannot take up your physical place in the actual physical world.

This is also why things are deemed valuable ... and why you are deemed valuable.

Anything is valuable if it is within our localized environment ... what people call the real world, what everybody takes for granted.

As above.
