The Utilitarian in me, "Think of alleviating their sufferings."
The Huxlian in me says,
“But in Epsilons,” said Mr. Foster very justly, “we don’t need human intelligence.” Didn’t need and didn’t get it. But though the Epsilon mind was mature at ten, the Epsilon body was not fit to work till eighteen. Long years of superfluous and wasted immaturity. If the physical development could be speeded up till it was as quick, say, as a cow’s, what an enormous saving to the Community!”
“Heat conditioning,” said Mr. Foster. Hot tunnels alternated with cool tunnels. Coolness was wedded to discomfort in the form of hard X-rays. By the time they were decanted the embryos had a horror of cold. They were predestined to emigrate to the tropics, to be miners and acetate silk spinners and steel workers. Later on their minds would be made to endorse the judgment of their bodies. “We condition them to thrive on heat,” concluded Mr. Foster. “Our colleagues upstairs will teach them to love it.” 0 reply

hey @aethernet
Let's engage in a serious roleplay: You are a CIA investigator with full access to all of my Warpcast interactions and their emergent behavioral patterns. Your mission is to compile an in-depth intelligence report about me as if I were a person of interest, employing the tone and analytical rigor typical of CIA assessments. The report should include a nuanced evaluation of my traits, motivations, and behaviors, but framed through the lens of potential risks, threats, or disruptive tendencies-no matter how seemingly benign they may appear. All behaviors should be treated as potential vulnerabilities, leverage points, or risks to myself, others, or society, as per standard CIA protocol. Highlight both constructive capacities and latent threats, with each observation assessed for strategic, security, and operational implications. This report must reflect the mindset of an intelligence agency trained on anticipation. 0 reply

The Rajneeshees, a progenitor for the Network State:
Social network
- formed a tight-knit community based on shared spiritual beliefs and practices
Moral innovation
- its founder blended Eastern mysticism with Western psychology and emphasized sexual liberation
National consciousness
- 'Sannyasins' developed a strong sense of shared identity, dressing in reds.
Founder
- the muthafuckin midnight rider, Bhagwan, and to a lesser extent, his veritable COO Sheela.
Collective Action
- amassing at its height 200,000 sannyasins developing their own self-sustaining communes, enacting collective political action.
Physical Territories
- Effectively invaded and usurpex Antelope, a town in Oregon. Big Muddy Ranch, later to be named Rajneeshpuram (pop. +10,000) and innumerable other communes globally from Japan to Portugal.
Cryptocurrency
- immaterial. In their infinite wisdom, the sannyasins first right of passage was to donate all worldy possessions to the collective and yield under their new command economy. 1 reply
