Comunism vs capitalism

 Comunism works only if all people are altruistic, hence the emphasis on education in comunist countries.

Capitalism works even if all people are egoistic, it is not nice but it works.

Let's consider the worst job it can be: cleaning public toilets 

In a ideal comunist society where you have equal pay, why should you do it ?

You can have better job for same pay 

So the state should enforce that everyone from time to time washes public toilets.

So here it goes your freedom 

Also because you force educated people like medic to waste time cleaning toilets, you are not efficient.

A medic might get ill , not make his consultations and people will die.

On the other side on the capitalism inequal pay and need to survive forces some people to do worst jobs .

But the system is more efficient, it allocates the right person for the right job.

People from the bottom are sacrificed so that the system works. It is communistic in a way.

People's freedom is limited by the money they have.

In order to improve capitalism you must improve social mobility so money can be aquired easily, or improve the working conditions of the poor.

But people defend their own turf and don't allow others to challenge their position and they are managers who what to suck every profit even at the expense of working conditions.

Why we like Dune so much?

 I have read the books, saw Villeneuve's movies several time, but till now I didn't understood why I was attracted.

The book has 2 forces that drive the destiny of characters: the predetermination rooted on the past, and undetermined future.

Paul as his father Leto is forced to fight his enemies Harkonen by history of the houses, and an old feud that is forgotten. This feud is fed by political ambition of the emperor.

The prophecy is the future, the desire, the equilibrium.

It is not clear.

Paul is the Mahdi?

It will win, it will create a genocidal war ?

The future is created by past, Mahdi and Lisa Al Gaib are Bennegeserit superstition, created to keep in check fremden ecologic pressure who creates expectations.

But future is hundred by past and present: the unwillingness of great Houses to put the stability of system above their interests.

Why we reject inconvenient historical facts.

 History is science of sorting and understanding of memories.

Memories determine the identity.

If the history is curated to determine a certain identity or a certain population behave in a certain way for a long time, inconvenient or incongruous facts will be reject to maintain the identity.

If a populatin believes is peaceful and tolerant will reject fact that proves that sometimes it attacked others or persecuted minorities.

I like people who accept their mistakes, this means that they will change and improve.

The Bauhaus buildings and nature

 Along the centuries people adapted their houses to the environment, the more rain and snow you have the higher the inclination of the roof.

Less light you have bigger the windows are.

For example compare the German houses with those from middle east.

It seems that also the old architecture follows the principles of Adrian Bejan constructal theory, which states that systems evolve to allow minimum resistance access to the flows.

Modern architecture like the  Bauhaus put cuboids of Steel and glass regardless of these energy flows resulting in uncomfort and higher bills.

A cuboid of steel and glass in Bergen Norway will allow the light to enter but it will block the rain to flow, resulting in roof leakeges.

The same cuboid in Sahara, will retain water on the roof allowing to be saved for later use, but it will not stop the solar radiation to enter in the building and heat it, so you will spend money air conditioning.

A building should be design with end user in mind, the one who lives there and has to pay the bills.

It seems that modern architecture is driven by the tools and materials and not by environment and clients.

Unfortunately clients don't have a clue about physics and they are charmed by the beautiful design of architects
