The real issue is getting customers used to abandoning their offline storage devices and keeping all their data on the cloud. The first step is of course just using the cloud as a remote backup against a fire or accidents that wipe out all your local storage, and that's a big step for Da Man who can thus inspect all the data you own, and adjust his strategies against you based on what kind of counter ammo you possess against him if dragged in court. In court one of the issues is not going off your memory, but records, and those records are fluent in the hands of Da Man, he can modify them at please. Only what you remember, however vague and fallible your memory is, is what you can truly rely on, not records on a forgeable piece of paper or records inside chips or magnetic stores. Once you get used to keeping a backup copy of all your data on the Cloud, then the assault of constantly failing portable off line storage devices begins, and eventually you just give up trying to keep your data in your hand, because the devices break the bank on expense, and constantly fail on you anyway. Especially when they all become non-magnetic, non optical, but chip based. Eventually computers and smart phones will refuse to connect to portable storage devices, because those won't know the rolling, daily rotating schedule cloud password, which may be impossible to crack in the chip. But to make all this transition to total world domination by Da Man happen, Microsoft should actually bribe and pay like $10,000/year/seat to all their new customers, and people should resist accepting that cloud storage deal anyway, because that's how much liberty they are sacrificing by it, but you can bet your ass people would sign up just to get the money, and pretend they are using it when they are really not, and slowly, little by little, they'd become dependent on it. Then the blackmailing of cloud addicts begins to get ransom for their data held hostage. This kind of free promotional period is also standard business practice by drug dealers. Near schools, or near lots of unaddicted but potentially lucrative customers, during the promotional period the drugs, crack, pot, heroin, are all free, the first time. Then the blackmailing begins later, to recoup the initial investment and generate a business profit.

Actually, the whole remote access to your computer is not software or operating system specific. It happens in FreeDOS, Linux, Win2K, WinXP, etc, which makes you think it's actually the hardware itself doing it. All I know the Intel 440BX running Pentium 3's on a Gigabyte 6GA7+ feels rigged, in fact I remember really strange things on my Abit BH6 I bought online in 1998 acting really crazy on me in 2005 in ReactOS, Knoppix 3.6 linux 2.4 kernel, and Windows 2000, (thought it may have been later replaced with a rigged motherboard by people entering my home where I was renting.) So how far back do you need to go to get an unrigged, reliable hardware computer that has no remote access built in, and it's x86 instruction based? Perhaps a 486 DX2 66 might still be OK, but starting with Pentium 60, and with the start of name fighting that AMD and Cyrix and Winchip could no longer copy, perhaps other fighting began too, such as hardware remote access, at least through ethernet, because wireless networking was not available yet back then. These days the only secure way to use modern Intel, AMD, or even ARM based computers is to be completely off grid, off network, away from the Internet or any kind of cellular service or satellite signal, and lock yourself into a good Faraday cage, from which, even if data leaks out, no data can come in. Such as a deep underground cavern or cave or abandoned mine covered by dense, moist and heavy earth or rock above you. But on the internet, or in a densely populated city permeated by stray WIFI signals, you are hopeless, because Da Man is lurking inside your computer, sees everything you see, logs everything you do, and wants you to use encryption, so he can see what you do, what your passwords are, etc, and especially see what you would want to hide, in a sense, what you claim yourself guilty about. Then he has ammo in court against you, because you confessed up to him your dirty laundry. Best policy is not to use encryption - if you have private pictures, so what if someone else in the world sees them? Once I worked at a place that in the 40's used to be called US Rubber, and came across this box of black and white photos of people, banquets, festivals and dinners, and I did not have a feeling of violating someone's privacy or what not by looking at those pictures. If they were nude pictures of some female coworkers still alive, even working with me, that might have been a different story, but if they are dead people, or even nude pictures of women who are 80 today, but they looked really hot in the nude 60 years ago when they were 20, well, that's like a different story.

With the oldschool dumb RS232 port you did not need this messed up zoo of USB id's, which are pretty superfluous, just a communication protocol of baud, stop bits, parity, flow control/handshake. If you wanted to find out what device you were talking to, once you set the baud rate and such, you could find out by issuing special commands to it, such as the Hayes modem commands, and it could ID itself like that, but the port itself, or the computer, needed no drivers and keeping track of all this stupid USB id bullshit. If they made the USB port backward compatible with RS232, in a ground, rx, tx way of 3.5 mm RS232 adaptors (and in case a device needs hardware handshake instead of xon/xoff or no handshake, you can manually tie the 9 or 25 pin connector handshake lines together so it self handshakes, as some kind of workaround), we could all ignore this other USB bullshit, or even USB drivers at all that every operating system, or OS upgrade, needs a special version of, and instead everyone could be using the RS232 protocol built into the USB chip at 480,000,000 baud, or bps, talking to portable hard drives and what not with ease.

The caveat is of course artificial intelligence development, and physical real world access of such AI through computer ports from very high computing power cpu's, and also such things as easy automation around the world by idiots taking over the world, and this is how you fight back, they disrespect basic decencies of how we abuse the system in the way we breed out of control, or commit crimes to take over jobs, it's kind of a racial or tribal fight between different people, and this is how some people, who respect the system otherwise, fight back "unfairly" on the computing front, making it difficult or impossible to use or understand computers easily. I mean imagine the 3rd world taking away all jobs because they can find easy ways of automation, through super high speed RS232 protocol talking USB ports.

By the way, there is a caveat against absolute democracy, or total lack of nobility, so to speak. The nobility tends to be smart, and able to create lots of high tech wealth, such as computing, even if they are very inbred. In a yeoman farmer society one might be able to grow his own food, but may not have computers, stereo equipment, or cellphones at all, kinda like in the communist Soviet Union, you might be stuck in the past technologically, where people want to, but they can't, make stuff like computers, or electronics. In essence the wealth extracted "unfairly" from the rest of the population through abuses of power and property control is what makes it worth to those people doing it to keep providing high tech weapons for national defense, technology, electronics, etc. In fact I witnessed the closure of a union rubber plant in the US, relocating to Mexico, paying $5/day there instead of the $17.85/hr uniform across the board pay to every union worker here (I was getting a nonunion clerk's pay in the offices), regardless if they were the janitor or reactor operator or warehouse worker, and the whole thing really happened because the union people had their mindsets distorted, there was only 100 of them when there used to be 200, so they assumed the right to overtime was normal, and it ended up where often nothing was done during the 8 hrs of regular work, and any actual work was used as an excuse for overtime, in effect, the whole place was like a clubhouse you show up to chitchat about politics and what not, instead of a regular job. In essence you should work smart, not hard, and you can sit on your ass if you got it figured out - or work your butt off if you're an idiot, any job in the world is easy if you know what you're doing, but you can make it hard if you don't know what you're doing - but then the corporate bean counters constantly complain to cut cost, lay off people, so there was this eternal struggle of making your job easy and putting out the tons and tons of quality product each day without killing yourself with work, but also without getting laid off over making your job too easy. It was like management refused to negotiate the contract properly, and they let the union get away with anything they asked for, just to get them into a distorted mindset and situation where they got anything they asked for, and it was a really awkward situation. Like sleeping on the job was normal, while being paid for it, but you can argue that these 55-60 year old people(who should be 80 yrs old today), having worked there 35+ years, ever since they turned 18, pulling 5 days straight 16 hr days, or 80 hrs in 5 days, practically living at their jobs, dedicating their life to it, unlike the corporate bean counters who got half the income this way too, yet they did not have to live at their jobs for 16 hr days, kind of needed to be able to schedule sleep breaks during those 80 hrs, in order to do their jobs properly. Because their pay was so high, they had a vested interest in making sure the plant made good money, and they made production decisions that a remote or even local management would have no clue about, because they did not spend their whole life living with the equipment and knowing its quirks inside out, like 2nd nature, so when they slept, they did not sleep in a stupid, or uncaring about the company way, but did it for a good reason. Most of the time. Age was of course an issue too, but with age came wisdom of knowing just exactly how to turn a knob, and be sort of an analog computer that controls the process to maximum profitability, something the remote bean counters that don't spend their entire lives living with the machine have no clue about, nor can you just get a guy off the street and assume he'd know how to do it. Of course it was ISO certified, yet it was impossible to write work instructions, because the workers were not stupid to tell what took them 30 years to figure out, and put themselves out of a job that way. There were actually some jobs that only 2 people knew how to do right, and everyone else fucking up on it, such as the process of how to properly transform latex into solid rubber, and if both of them happened to be sick or on vacation, the foremen put that hole process on hold, just kept accumulating the latex for when they came back, instead of letting another guy make either too watery glue or too dry black burnt crap from it, instead of proper solid rubber, some of the stuff was that touchy. So knob-turning jobs were done well by these old timers, but physical labor, such as vessel cleaning, was difficult, also because it was the oldest people volunteering to absorb the carcinogen doses from it into their body (plus they got some silly 25 cents an hour extra pay, as hazard pay, which was the only way to make more than 17.85/hr, and it was usually the guys with the most seniority that bid out and booted the younger ones from such a spot, and the whole seniority structure shake up of people picking new jobs, booting others from their posts who in turn booted others from their posts, trickling down all the way to the youngest guys, happened, but this way almost everybody learned every job they were stuck with, or more like there was a communal decision of who to put into what spot next, and interesting childish politics and jokes came of it, it was like a clubhouse of entertainment sometimes where instead of having to pay for the fun you made really good money, but you had to know what you were doing in exchange.) So it ended up being the elderly taking the hazard pay jobs and protecting the breeding age young kids from it, and because they were old, they had a hard time climbing up into the toxic confined space vessels, through a tiny manhole, and sawing off foot thick caked on rubber from the pot walls with a sawzall, lying on a raincoat in the organic cyanide chemical sludge (just as a note, organic cyanides are nowhere near as toxic and regular inorganic ones, but they do have a carcinogen or mutagen effect, it's like almost anything in the world does, including fruit or spice flavor extracts, things like peach seeds do contain cyanides, it's a matter of dose and exposure), cutting off foot size cubes of stinky rubber, doing it for 2 hrs then taking a 2 hr sleep break to recuperate, then doing it again for 2, until the plant manager came in one night and woke them up during sleep to go back to keep working nonstop. What's right and wrong?

So when the shutdown was announced, and there was word that the corporation is gonna close the plant, and instead the union wanted to get it, and run it by themselves, an engineer whose opinion I valued highly, told me that when a corporation gives up on a plant, these self owned hillbilly places usually fail very miserably. Some of it is partly because they don't have access to the sales and supply channel, also controlled by the corrupt corporate bean counter gang, especially when all small customers, of which there were hundreds of when I started there, 2 years later were all bought up by one massive entity, which, of course, would never buy rubber from a union owned plant, while small customers, of family owned businesses that previously used to purchase, would probably have kept buying. It's like as soon as I started working there, the decision was made to fuck the plant up, by the bean counter gang, buy up all its customers by giving them an outrageously good deal. This company came after me at my next job too, bought the next company I worked at, so to speak, and got rid of me from there too. It's like where can I work where I don't feel the massive, billion dollar spending corporate bean counter effort of we waste all these billions just to fuck with you? Seriously, they make me feel like that, always setting traps, and when I fall into them there is this exhuberant joy. It's like set me another trap, I fall into that one too. What's the big deal. But of course there was already a process of technology transfer to Mexico in place even before I started there, and other college students doing similar work went off to more secure jobs as soon as they had the opportunity, when their job here was to do things like copy engineering drawings in the vault, and send them to Mexico, go back out into the plant to find out how some stuff is done here, and tell their boss who ran into issues in Mexico while trying to get things going, they knew there was no future or career for them here. And the first two I started with totally acted with me like some anti espionage agents, but when they found out I'm just a regular idiot, they sent regular kids to work with me. And I've been mostly a regular idiot, but it gets annoying when you constantly get fucked with and have to constantly adapt to yet another bullshit. Like made sick by force, being pushed out of a job where you to move around, to one where you have to stay put, in one spot, for 12 hrs, either sitting or standing, and you can just tell you're getting xrayed the shit out of you, because your whole body shakes and quivers, from simple sitting in one place and folding small paper boxes with your fingers. I can't find another explanation, and yeah, having to constantly use hand sanitizer does not help, but some days you can make it with only using it once or twice, because you don't have to pick up anything off the floor, nor did you touch your face, yet you still get sick as hell, and you came in healthy, and as soon as the job is over, and you start driving home, by the time you reach the highway you feel healthy again. It had to be x-rays, because I would feel better even if I'd just move around, or go to the bathroom, and then it became an issue of why I go to the bathroom outside scheduled breaks. Wtf? I'm not gonna hold my piss for another 2 hrs to the next break, what kind of bs is that? It's a we can't x-ray you properly if you constantly lose the beam and recouperate bs. But, anyway, there may be something to that statement of, if a corporation that's expert and running a business, gives up on a plant, the union workers may fail miserably on their own, because simply making a good product and knowing how to run the equipment is not the only thing required to run a successful business, it's almost the only thing, but not 100%, and if you lack that remaining expertise, such as legal defense, accounting, management, sales, IT, etc, most of these things that may seem highly superfluous, you may still fail miserably as a business. Even before the company was under constant harassment from like a legal firm that purchased an old section that has been down for decades, with old buildings on it, and they did not start a business there, they only bought it so they can dig out some old ash pit where all the fly ash from coal was dumped back in the 1940's when the whole plant ran on steam, fueled by shoveled coal, and that's where all the ash happened to be dumped to, and they'd sue the company over pollution, to where the company paid over 10x the purchase price in legal penalties and fees of what they sold that property for. It was an easy way to suck money out of the company by the bean counting lawyers, buy a piece of land from the company then keep suing the company over it. Make sure you can find at least some coal fly ash. Fucking bloodscuking scumbag lawyers. That's the only way they know how to make money. Keep suing honest hardworking people. Let alone a county government, who came to the company asking for their waste water, gave them a deal so they stop processing the waste in their own massive lagune system, then 10 years later suing them for the polluting discharge, with fees of $100,000 per month penalty for discharging sodium stearate soap. They actually had an infrared monitor looking for sodium stearate, so the beancounters from corporate headquarters from the other state, or their expert engineers, had to go for some soap that would keep a stable latex, but not show up on the detector. Sodium stearate is like the most organic, benign and least expensive soap there is in the world, and everything else is worse environmentally, but you have to use something else when the despotic idiots who wriggled their ways into the county government harass you over it, so they can collect. It was all bullshit beyond belief around the company, the money was good because a quality product was made, but everyone was fighting to get a bite out of it, including dirty tricks of legal battles over nothing, or county government idiots on a rampage wanting to make more money off of you. Of course the company shut down and went to Mexico where they did not get harassed by the local government, and there are not EPA harassments either. What else did the county think would happen? It was not really the union bullshit that put the nail into the coffin, but all this extra take a bite out of you, $1.2 million in penalties to the local government over bullshit, when your total revenue was 20 million, half going to the local and corporate beancounters and stock holders, half to the 100 union employees (coming to 100,000/yr/head with a highschool dimploma, due to massive overtime + benefits like health insurance, 401K, etc.), and the beancounters of course were not very happy with that, they thought they could make 15 million for themselves and 5 million to the union, or 50,000/yr/head, there was this constant struggle like predators in the jungle fight over a piece of bone, and the "owners," the beancounters ultimately always get their way, because they are absolute rulers of their private property, and can go to places like Mexico, all the while fucking up the US economy by doing that. That 10 million union wages all used to go into the local economy, and now it does not.

But anyway, if you watch the "Last Mohican" Hollywood movie, you get a sense of what royalty, the crown, nobility is how they act and behave, both its abuses of power, and also the organization top down structure that functions even in chaotic situations. (For instance all militaries in the world function as a top down despotism, under unified command, instead of a voting democracy of what shall we do next in the heat of battle, in the chaos of war.) The hillbilly americans against the betrayal of the crown still stand relatively little chance in that movie, because they don't have the industrial base, the knowledge to make weapons, how to direct an efficient economy, compared to the crown. And back then people knew all this, and when they wrote the US anthem in 1812, they knew exactly just how lucky they were winning that war against The Crown, but also just how dedicated they were back then to maintaining their own liberty from power abuses by The Crown, in the Land of the Free, and the home of the brave, under their new Novus Ordo Seclorum, under their Constitution. By the way the war of July 4th, 1776, the war of independence was really won for the US by the French navy, successfully blockading a British resupply of military forces, and postpone the war to 1812, otherwise there would never have been a formal capitulation by the British Crown, and the war would have dragged on and on endlessly, the Americans, under Washington's command, not winning a single battle during the entire War of Independence, though most every single battle the British Crown won was a Pyrrhic victory, and the whole thing could have economically potentially drained the British Crown during its height of power, and might have stopped by the British Crown giving up further pursuit anyway. The warfare scenario during the war of Independence was pretty much the British redcoats marching in formation through the swampy back country jungle woods of Eastern USA, for never before heard of distances (in the US distances are huge compared to Britain or much of the rest of the world), physically worn down, relatively thin and overextended on resupply chains, and the American farmers ambushing such marching formations with a few gunshots, picking off a redcoat here and there, then going back to their farms and continuing harvesting and work there, then going back, picking off a few more redcoats, who marched on endlessly seldom being able to achieve a pitched battle, instead just being put through constant harassment of sniper shoot then run by the hillbilly independence fighters, and whenever they achieved a pitched battle, they did win every single one of them. And this could have dragged on endlessly, for another 30 years war, or another 100 years war, because the stakes and wealth in question were high, just like in the prior 30 year or 100 year wars in Europe, had it not been for the French Navy blockading the resupply of the fort where the British withdrew. The French Crown did it to curtail the power of the British Crown, their arch enemy for centuries, against which they were losing ground in the constant power grubbing battles of the monarchies of Europe (and such constant battling is no longer allowed or possible in the nuclear age, but its interesting that Europe never ended up under one royal house dominating all countries, in a sort of monopoly way that a whole lot of the US recently goes into in a lot of fields, such as how long before AT&T owns every physical cell tower, and the likes of Verizon are forced to pay rent to them?), but the French Crown did it at such a desperate cost, at such grave debts, that the French Monarch, citoyen Capet, lost his head under the guillotine and stacked into a pyramid, during the economic crash and rebellion that ensued from it. He was not able to refinance his debts, unlike the British crown, so in essence the death sentence was done by not the French Revolution itself, but by the preexisting beancounting powerstructure permeating Europe denying him economic stability. Because of what he created, a non-nobility society the first time for millenia in European domain, called the United States, because nobody expected Washington not to become emperor of the US, or king of the US, and instead stick to the words they put down into the declaration of independence, that we do not recognize privilege by birth, in our view all men are created equal in the eyes of the law. Similar financial hardship issues, such as the very heavy penalties of WWI restitution payments born by Germany to Britain and France, were in large part responsible for triggering WWII by Germany, and in absence of that heavy economic drain we may have never had a WW2. The beancounters controlling money create a lot of wealth, but they often abuse their power too much. Economics, or more exactly money, can kill or create death more than anything in the world. But the point is not to go extreme on underestimating monarchies and top down control of an economy, even while being conscious of the abuses of power present in them. By far the single most prevalent and easiest way to lose any kind of fight or battle is by the overconfidence in your abilities and underestimating your opponent.

It's important to understand the intricacies and nuances of things hanging in balance, while protecting your 99.9% of the population yeoman farmer or other small private property owner liberty your forefathers so dearly fought for, against the 0.1% of the population that seeks to own and control all your private property, and through it, every aspect of your life. Which is pretty much what's happening even under democracy today, concentration of wealth and power, the economic divide between the rich and the poor getting wider, the extermination of a dominant middle class, the weak get weaker and the strong get stronger, the rich get richer exploiting the poor get poorer, and the strong who get stronger also set loose the checks and balances that used to be in place by government lawmakers, such as correctly regulated natural monopolies or city water/sewer systems, natural gas and electricity suppliers, also such simple things as a single corporation or person owning a maximum of 7 radio and tv stations in any local market, that was lifted in 1996, when Clearchannel went on a rampage with easy Wall Street stock money, and bought up everything they could, the remote Wall Street or corporate beancounters often cutting out local experts with quality programmings, to push their drab programs, and of course, control advertising pricings, political venues, in a monopolistic centralized fashion. In essence they can control who gets elected anywhere in the US by controlling all the radio stations and other media outlets like newspapers, tv channels, etc, there.

PS. By the way standards should be voluntary. Such as cell phone connectors are free to take on any shape, especially if they are a clever new way of cost saving and robustness, we're open to experimentation with good will, and we like to give liberty like that to companies, but we reserve the right to bitch about nonstandard connectors that are simply nonstandard, and overly complex and costly, for the simple sake of nonstandard compliance, for having to purchase the adaptor from the manufacturer itself that patents the design and wants to rape you in the ass over the cost of it, as opposed to being able to replace it with an off the shelf cheap standard power supply and connector. So we bitch, but we shoulhd not enforce standards compliance by manufacturers, just turn on the bitching heat and discomfort to them really high if we feel they are not acting in good faith toward the public, and are simply aiming to derive sort of unfair profit, so to speak, without any benefit whatsoever coming from nonstandard compliance. And forcing them to simply explain what these benefits are when they don't follow standards, by filling out some kind of legal form issued by the government, just simply creates overhead, more red tape, bureaucracy and inefficiency, and lawyers running off with the money in another unfair or unnecessary profit way. The best solution is massive bitching directed at them from unhappy customers who retained some kind of critical thinking ability, in simple places like online review sites. If the Consumer Protection Agency or FBI discovers such misbehavior, they could employ a bunch of undercover agents who create some kind of intense (but still moderated enough to keep the company in business) customer bitching feedback through various channels, including online review sites (while still posting honest and critical opinions about the nonstandard products), (or even contacting tech support, specifically bitching about nonstandards compliance for no apparent good reason) that regular customers busy with their everyday lives simply don't have the time or drive to do. And it gets complicated on what's a nonapparent but still present good enough reason, or if that's good enough reason at all to justify nonstandard compliance. It's like you can leave it up to regular customers too, and protect their rights to bitch, and complain, Archie Bunker style, and if they willingly tolerate and accept minor abuses, such as they seem to have liked Apple's gadgets irregardless of power supply connector shapes, because of the value they were getting out of the overall deal, then let them have it. (Btw I would never buy a new overpriced Apple gadget, but I have bought like 2GB small portable harddrives on ebay that were disassembled from old Apple music players, for like 50c or $1 each, that nobody wants because of the small 2GB size.) So the consumer protection agency should go really light on such undercover customer bitching punishment, and it should especially not become a tool to be lobbied by competitors to drive each other out of business through one competitor who did not lobby enough getting crucified, while others getting a free pass. As that is what politicians do, manage things, meddle in the affairs of the public, provide favors to their network, and fight against competing networks in the public. So in a sense you need a Consumer Protection Agency, but in the Ronald Reagen sense you don't, we already have too much government. So it should be small and efficient, and only going after blatant cases, only when necessary, and otherwise not doing anything, and not be a yet another department going to daily morning meetings, looking for something to do that day as a job, finding an unlucky business to pick on each day, even if not necessary. It's like the FBI is well suited to be the Consumer Protection Agency, and when they have nothing good to do, get reassinged to work on other FBI related issues, such as local police corruption cases and the like. You don't have to have government for the sake of government, and once you put people in a job there, dependent on that income, it's really hard for them to say, ok, we think we have nothing useful to do for today, or for a few months, and we're not gonna pick up a paycheck, unless someone can reassign us to a temporary job where we can do something useful, then come back to this one every once in a while to make sure things are still going well, and we still have nothing useful to do here.

Yes. All you have to do is not agree to the terms of the agreement shown to you when you first turn on the computer. You purchased the computer in the store on a separate contract, where you were not presented with that same contract agreement terms attached to the software, before you paid for the hardware + software bundle. In absence of agreeing to the software terms, you have the right to keep the hardware part at least, if you so choose, and return the software part that comes with a separate contract. Then you can do whatever you want with the hardware, such as pull capacitors from the motherboard, melt down the motherboard for copper scrap values, drill holes into the motherboard, put weird tattoos and lights on it, hang it on your wall in a picture frame as a decoration - it's yours. No matter how badly the intellectual property pushers want to tell you that we sell you something, but you can't do what you want with it, can't smash an xbox with a hammer, you can't put a hole in it with a drill and what not. At least tradition goes that way when purchasing other items like cars, bicycles, stereo equipment, you have the right to shoot a potato gun at your old CRT tv and watch the screen get smashed. Or install other chips on the mainboard if you feel like it. It's yours, irregardless of what some stupid contract these intellectual property power mongers want to hang on it. There is a tradition of people considering it common sense to mod their cars any which way they see fit, and the manufacturer does not have the right to claim intellectual property violations on such mods. The person bought the object, he owns it, he can fuck with it all he wants. We sell it to you, it's yours, but we don't really sell it to you, we want to control what you're allowed to do with it, it's like we want it back intact when it comes back to our junkyards. What the fuck? Rent everything in the world, huh? No, you have the right to smash an old TV with a sledgehammer if that pleases you, you don't have to return it intact into the junkyards. Rent everything. It's like we sell you this underwear bikini, but we want it back, you can't touch it or modify it, because we retain ownership over it while you wear it, you're not allowed cut a hole in it and show your pussy on chaturbate.com wearing it, because we own the design pattern, the intellectual property conveyed by the bikini object, and you're violating our intellectual property conveyed by the design pattern when you cut a gaping hole in it. Fuck Da Man and his perverted ways of extending the limits of property cock blocks into every aspect of life, choking the fun out of everything like an octopus with its tentacles getting a stronger and stronger grip.

In fact one way to guarantee the stability of the dollar is by eliminating paper money, or chipped money and the like (where the chip can be rigged to fail at some catastrophic zero day and stop being accepted by vending machines and checkout lines), and back it with value in person, or in presence, as in making metal coin one dollars that carry within themselves intrinsic value in the metal itself. The 5c nickel and 1 cent copper plated zinc bulk are already at their limits or sometimes containing more intrinsic metal value than their face value. In essence, they should allow melting down of coinage by law, to recover the intrinsically carried value, and thus guaranteeing currency stability and lack of inflation. Even if you have paper money for $100 bills, the real backing of it would come from the ability to exchange it for coinage, for metal $1 coins, $5 coins, even $20 coins, which, of course carry at least say $15 of metal value with a $20 face value, so the melting down of it is not worth it, but the intrinsically carried metal value would guarantee that a $20 would never fall in absolute value under $15. In effect stopping inflation completely, or at least controlling the rate to something very slow over decades, as the mint issues new metal coins of lesser value (as they switched from all copper cents to zinc bulk/copper plate cents) and it flushes out slowly over a period of 20-50 years from the currency circulation. With such a thing people would be able to keep tangible wealth and value in their homes, or dug away in their back yards, instead of being vulnerable to Da Man pulling the rug out under them with a currency crash. Currency crashes were very common at the end of WWII, where a lot of currencies became worthless and were swept up on the streets, reaching denominations of 100 trillion within a matter of months, and even since then some countries, like Italy or Turkey, throughout the latter half of the 20th century had double digit yearly inflations, where you could not store wealth in money stuffed away in your pillows, and instead, in Turkey, there was a habit to get paid from your job, buy your groceries and present needs, then sink the leftover money into building a house, continuously little by little over a period of 20-30 years, just to preserve value, because if you kept it on your hands for months, it would drop to half its worth, as in you could buy half as much bread or eggs on it as you could a few months before then. Even these days, a recent major crash was the Z$, Zimbabwe dollar, where the monetary policy of the dictator was to not collect taxes, just keep printing paper money, and he had trouble getting ATM machines that would handle the 100 trillion Z$ denomination zeros and not crap out on him. A stable currency is essential to a decent life, but the dollar, with its gold backing removed, is very vulnerable to an intentional crash by those betting against it, taking up short positions in it, where they get it today, and will have to pay it back tomorrow when it's worth nothing. A metal backed currency, even if not gold, because there isn't enough gold around, but silver, platinum, even nickel(stainless steel), cobalt(batteries, cutting tools), samarium, gadolinium, neodynium (used in magnets and lasers), cerium (used in gas lighting mantles), indium(used in transparent conductive screens), tellurium (used in CdTe photocells or rewritable cds), or anything rare but of good technological value, could be used, and even issuing a $50 face value coin that has an intrinsic metal value of a combination silver, platinum, neodynium, indium mix of only $5, (clad in copper-nickel by plating them sintering/semimelting the surface, to protect from unknown health hazards of some rare earths or things like Niobium overexposure) would be a good idea, because it would guarantee some kind of protection against crashes of its value going to zero, like paper money swept up on the streets at the end of WWII, so even if you're left with $5 when you had 50 that's better than absolutely nothing.

Chip currencies are bullshit. You cannot trust chips. It's bad enough you have to use them in your cars, computers, cellphones, but where it matters hard core, you should keep away from chips. Such as money. How can a chip guarantee anything, when in fact it's a source of failure (as in it's a good piece of money that traceably did come from the mint or printing office, yet the chip decided to go bezerk in it), a source of counterfeiting security and encryption issues, etc.

Those who seek destabilizing the dollar, and removing hard core tangible in your hand backing of value in it, are only seeking to make money off of the mayhem that ensues, and hopefully pegging the blame on some other poor squirrel trying to get a nut, while they stuff their own pockets and run with the easy money they did not have to work for. It's like people have the right to gamble, and win, or even find money on the street on the ground, for free, but it's not a gamble when you conspire to corrupt and fuck the system, it's not the same situation of free money falling into your lap and your pocket.

Yeah well who wants to live in a metropolis like that.

By the way private property is essential to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but in a yeoman farmer, small property owner way, where everyone owns the home they live in, can sustain themselves and survive in absence of an economy or jobs on the food they grow (meaning property taxes are low), and that would be proper balance, between total communism where you cannot own anything, and absolute monarchy or despotism where the top dog, one guy, or a few nobles, own everything and the common bulk of the population is forbidden from owning private property, instead they are slaves or serfs or whatever you want to call them, they themselves are private property of either the communist state, or the absolute monarch and his nobles. In an ideal world everyone would own their home and a small patch of land enough to sustain himself with self grown food, housing prices would be low, and life would be relatively stress free without mandatory bills, like sewer bills, or Obamacare-like mandatory health insurance purchases irregardless of the price charged, irregardless of the insurance companies right to go bankrupt and out of business after you paid them all those premiums for years. And the government pays into these private motherfuckers pockets from the tax treasury that's already beyond empty in your name and will blame you for the internal economic collapse of the country. Fuck Obamacare. Fuck the centralized private property ownership of all housing by mega-banks, which then rape everyone in the ass with interest, which you can corruptly deduct from your taxes, and keep you in a perpetual refinance situation, because, if you want to pay your mortgage, you need a job, if you want a job, you need a car, and good luck finding a car without remote controlled chips in them that die on command, so you keep refinancing your home trying to get new cars. Or just keep refinancing it to pay off the credit cards you used to feed yourself when Da Man laid you off and kept you there, just long enough to wind the mortgage clock back to zero, and make you start over, after 20 years of paying mortgage, back to zero, at age 50, and you only have to pay another 30-40 years, if you live that long. What the fuck is with these insane housing costs? How did everyone lose touch with reality? The greater fool theory. It does not matter if I pay 200 million dollars for this stupid 2 bedroom hole in the wall shack about to collapse, because I can resell it for 210 million dollars to the next guy. Everybody is insane. Everybody is guilty of driving up housing cost, starting with the scumbag real estate agents who don't really do any work, or contribute to society to justify some of the 6 figure incomes they make. To live well, everyone needs a lowered cost of living. And some sort of right to grow their own food and not be dependent on grocery stores, or government welfare aid, in absence of a job. The top concern or daily cost of a person should be putting the food on the table, the daily bread, every day, 2nd transportation to acquire that food, 3rd clothing once every 10 years or so, and 4th housing, once in a lifetime. The top cost in housing should be the land value, not the house erected on it, because of the value it represents in ability to grow your own food on it. But the corrupt contractor - local govt building permit system, that makes a killing on houses made of cardboard, or wood, made to topple in less than a lifetime, yet charge 400,000 for such a house on top of the land value, which is close to the total earnings in a lifetime to some people, and on top of that comes food, transport, everything else, is also bullshit. It's all in the name of your safety, the building code inspector comes out to inspect your homes and issues penalties, tickets to you, to protect you from yourself. Fuck the building code enforcement agencies. Fuck the sewer systems that won't let you have an outhouse and recycle your own shit as fertilizer to your own garden, keeping your diseases put, in one place, instead of sending the diseases you poop out down the sewer system into the rivers and lakes and oceans that everybody else gets their water and food from. Fuck overcrowded cities that are breeding grounds for diseases and misery and poverty, because the bills are high, and ability to obtain income is low, or even ability to put food on the table is low.
Hitler chases Da Man away, Da Man ended up mostly in the US, where the first thing they did was violate the principle of separation of church and state, the very reason the Pilgrims came to the US in the first place, the 1st Amendment seeking freedom of religion rights, and they put "In God We Trust" on the dollar bill in the 1950's (having already put it on the cent coins in the early 1900's). Karl Wojtila, or Pope John Paul the 2nd fought on the other front, when the commies banned religion, and built a churchless city, where he held open air public masses regardless, defying the commies. The proper balance is not no religion, or state enforced religion, but freedom of religion which is everyone's private matter, and does not belong into the common secular life. Up to the 50's the main motto of the US was "E Pluribus Unum" And this includes Zen Buddhist godless religions. Or you wanna put in Buddha we trust on the money? The 2nd thing they did was remove the backing of the US dollar by gold. That meant the dollar was meant to be fucked, and the economy is meant to be crashed on purpose. They are getting there pretty well. The reason why the dollar needs to be fucked and the economy crashed is to eliminate this whole mass of freedom loving mofos that ended up in the US, and reinstitute the Old World Order of royalty and nobility throughout the world, nobles having guaranteed privilege, competition free survival and prosperity to their offsprings. Why should you have your kids compete head to head with some low life mofos, when you can have them inherit nobility titles from you? And they can own and control everything that goes down in the world. Such as the newly arising intellectual property control of all food. Up until now you could grow a food crop, and the grain seeds you harvested you could eat, or resow, freely. Food was material property in the sense that if you had specific grains in your pocket, you most likely owned those, and if you swallowed them, you owned them as material private property, and there was no intellectual property attached to any kind of life or any kind of food. In fact if you bought any specific breed of animal, by having that specimen you had the right to breed and own the offsprings too. Now with Monsanto's genetically modified technologies we are entering into a new era where people don't only materially own lifeforms, but they own intellectual property in them, and can sue any farmer who resows such plants, or even has their plants cross pollinated by accident from a neighbors lot, for intellectual property violations. What the fuck? Life cannot be owned in an intellectual property way, life is meant to have the right to reproduce and live. Owning lifeforms materially is a necessity to survival, in that most food is life, and you have to be able to own as private property what went down into your stomach. But there is no necessity to attach intellectual property to life forms, and then hog it and take over all of that intellectual property by some centralized bank or centralized power structure like a despot or monarch, and rape everyone in the ass with fees over access to that property. It's hard to see small private property owners, yeoman farmers, where the bulk of the population owns most property, 99% owns at least 50% of all property, as opposed to some 0.1% nobility of the population owning and hogging everything, and 99.9% a slave or serf to them. Good life is not possible without private property, but extremes of communism where nobody is allowed to own anything, or the Old World Order royalty and nobility where nobody is allowed to own anything, except some minor 0.1%, are horrible abuses regarding private property. Jefferson envisioned a democracy of self reliant yeoman farmers, and they distrusted city dwellers slaves to someone throwing them a bone of a job, and controlling them in an economically exploitable and vulnerable situation, where their vote is pretty much owned by their employer, or whoever controls their putting the daily bread on the table. These days we have 99% of the population urbanized, food prices kept artificially very low with high property taxes on small farms (big farms over 10 acres can get special tax treatment, and because of that, can keep their food prices low, we're talking the yeoman farmer who cannot afford a big farm), and all farmers bankrupt. Let alone harassed by Monsanto over intellectual property violations when it comes to their nonfertile seeds. Fuck Monsanto. They already sell you seeds with some extra productivity or disease resistance benefit, at the cost of those seeds not being fertile. They already got you fucked in the ass. Why do they need to also drag you to court over intellectual property attached to those seeds? They are already walking dead life. Because they know self reliance, self sufficiency, and freedom from abuse from Da Man depend on the food supply above everything else. And we cannot allow losing control, because then, if others take over power, then they might do abuses like the Romans. And you can see their point too. But still, who likes to live like a slave? Or a quasi slave? It's like in order to protect the world from abuses of power and maintain control, fight against losing control, they commit the same power abuses they are trying to protect the world from. And things like violating basic principles of separation of church and state, or even things like setting the dollar afloat, removing its being backed by some hard core value, like precious metals of gold, silver, etc, you know where that's heading? It's done to send it into a price fluctuation, instability, where there is easy money to be made on the arbitrage that develops, that in essence, sucks the value out of the rest of the economy, out of other people's work, and puts it into your own pockets, and even sending it into a total crash, just to fuck these freedom loving rebellious bunch of Europeans that ended up in America, that need to be exterminated genetically because throughout the centuries of Old World Order there they and their descendants were always a source of trouble, so the US is purposely sent toward a crash by purchasing up all businesses or backbones of economy, shutting them down, and relocating them to China or Bangladesh or at least Mexico, and when the crash of the dollar happens, and the starving begins, we'll do it in a way where we can blame one of them for the whole thing, and call him a legend, when he's forced to just act like a squirrel trying to get a nut for himself, taking care of his own business.

No kidding. There is a phrase: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
Regular stamps can be a standard among different people, can be transferred and resold, and maintain anonymity in a sense (as it is possible to send letters from fake addresses, if you really have to, if you worry that Da Man is tracking your mail and won't deliver anything from you, you can always use a pseudonym or a fake from mailing address, and the post office job is to deliver it to the destination address, and as long as there is such a thing as undeliverable mail, or destination address not found, or the addressee no longer lives there, etc, and the mail having to be returned to the originator (which, btw, at my present address the post office refuses to do to all my downstairs neighbors that moved out, while at my previous address they were kind and accepted a return mail my neighbor marked up as I no longer lived there, and found me, and delivered it to my new address.) So the issue of undeliverable mail to the originator, or a fake originator address, should only arise if the mail has to be returned. But at least some degree of anonymity lets you send your rent to your landlord on time if that's what he specifies in the contract, that it be mailed. Imagine where the man, with unique stamps on every envelope, can selectively block people and fuck with them financially, such as not delivering their rent, and getting them evicted from their homes. Yes, there is a balance between the power of Da Man in charge controlling individuals, and the power of individuals, or liberties, anonymities, privacies of such individuals against Da Man in charge (such as in the old days they used to have to issue warrants to live up to the 4th amendment, these days that's no longer in vogue, as long as we can get some kind of witch hunt or terrorist hunt or whatever the latest scare, Ebola hunt justification for it). In everything in life, balance is the key, and extremes are not preferred. Digital, high tech, individually indentifiable stamps just give even more power into the hands of Da Man, who already has too much of it anyway, with simple things like cell phone tracking. Did you know you have to pull the battery from your cellphone if you don't wanna be tracked, or leave it on at home and go without it - there have been days like 4 years ago when I showed up at work having forgot my cellphone home, and everyone was scared, or acting weird, and they sent me home that day. I simply forgot, but it shows just how much people are assumed to have cell phones, and be trackable. Even without a cellphone each car with chips in it - meaning fuel injected, noncarburetted - is also trackable, but still, I somewhat respect one of my aunts who's high tech in other ways, but refuses to have a cellphone, instead all she has is a home phone, and in that, a cable modem land line, not the AT&T is back with a vengeance monopoly landline. "We The People" told AT&T back in the 70's to split up and compete against itself in the form of Baby Bells, and stop being an abusive monopoly of We The People, but AT&T is back, saying we piss on you, "We The People." And if things went right back in 1999, Microsoft would have ended up as a bunch of Baby Softs, and we'd have a better chance at a decent and nonabusive computing environment, but of course, with the fall of the Soviet Union, "We The People" and our "New World Order" you can read about on the dollar bill from 1800, or even today, on the opposite side of George Washington,we no longer stand a chance against the "Old World Order" of "We the King of England" and his nobility, that we fought so dearly against starting in 1776, then in 1812. They too, are soon back. With a vengeance. I mean they been around all the while, but not so obvious about their ways. And it's gonna be especially difficult to put up a fight if Obama kills the 2nd amendment, or even the 1st amendment. Btw, every time I enter a building which says on the door no firearms or weapons permitted on these premises, I feel like I'm entering the Old World Order domain, where only the privileged have the right to self defense, and carry weapons, such as cops, security guards, you know, the agents of Da Man.

The whole problem started with the design of USB, universal serial bus. They fucked up by not properly considering hardware/bios based backward compatibility with the previous technology, called the serial port, RS232C. As most USB 2 ports could go in slow USB 1.1 OHCI/UCHI(depending on manufacturer) and EHCI 2.0, (+ USB 3 now), all you needed was adding yet another way of using them, namely dumb RS232 protocol, where you can set the baud, parity, stop bits, etc, and use it similarly to a 3.5 mm to 9 pin adapter, having ground, rx, and tx. In fact you could have had a usb to 3.5 mm audio conector adapter running in RS232 mode. If that were properly provided in hardware by the chip itself, you wouldn't have such an issue over trying to get proper timing done under a capricious OS like modern non-realtime windows versions, inside a driver that deals with 20 ms lags when, if implemented in hardware, timing accuracies of 1 us would be piece of cake, accurate timing software that FTDI seems to excel in their chips and drivers, while others are still playing catchup. The USB stack is so complicated, that FTDI must have figured out a trick, or have some undocumented info, and the rest of the world still can't properly implement a USB to RS232 converter, even with billions invested. What a fuckup the USB design was.

Back in the days of good engineering, they pulled off color television backward compatibility with black and wide television. That was quite an engineering feat, but it respected the customer's invested wealth. Even in MS DOS and Win9x, even WinXP, you had respect for backward compatibility.

These days the vogue is intentionally created non-backward compatibility, and violating standards, so the company can screw the customers as much as possible, and achieve greater profit that way. You can see it in all the nonstandard ways DELL and HP and the like make their computer cases and motherboards, that cannot accept standard cases or standard motherboards, only custom ones from the same manufacturer, same with the various cell phone chargers and adapters, similarly some Radio shack custom batteries, let alone all other electronic device batteries, companies purposely want to fuck the customer over, or more like the powers that be that make these economic decisions purposely want to waste people's money with nonstandard designs in order to keep them poor, and down, and easier to control. Let alone intentional kill switch designs, like, did you know, that back in the 90's COM Activex objects all had a kill switch designed into them, by Microsoft, called the Phoenix bit, cuz they knew one day they had to kill the good stuff they sold you, remotely, just so it stops working and you're forced to go out and buy their latest garbage, with the latest remote kill switches, and these kill switches help them improve their profitability. When they pulled the Phoenix bit on me, that's when I stopped keeping step with computing technology, and went out of business as a programmer.

Fuck da Man and his bullshit ways of making money. Too bad when Bill Clinton went after Microsoft to reign in their abusive behavior as a monopoly, and declared them guilty, the Da Man on Wall Street dropped the stock market the biggest up to that point in history, as punishment for Bill Clinton for fucking with Da Man's ways of making money. Da Man's got everyone by the ballz, and he's fucking everyone over with no shame, in fact he is bored and wants to rebellious bitching, just so he can pinpoint where the hotspots are, who are threats to his total world domination plans. Such as extending the reaches of property to extents never seen before, such as perpetual copyright terms, on basic science facts, banning nondigital analog devices, or even books, to control all knowledge and keep everyone dumb, or blackmail everyone over it. People cannot live without property, but the reaches of intellectual property are very extreme, and going even more that way. Such as intellectually owning all foods produced in the world, through genetically modified, infertile seeds that only the manufacturer can supply, and owning the intellectual property license on such GM seeds. Monsanto's motto is that there shall be no food grown on the planet that they don't own intellectually speaking. Fuck Monsanto. Da Man's motto is that there shall be no information, no science, no technology, that he does not own and control and blackmail everyone over. It all starts with the cloud. And it's part of the reason why IBM is split up from being a vertically integrated company that does both hardware and software, because it's so fucking important to have standalone, intellectual property only software companies, otherwise integrated companies could sell just the hardware, and give the software that makes it work away for free with it, kinda like when you buy a flashlight, or a vaccuum cleaner, you get the manual with it almost for free, or can download it for free from the internet. It's true that software is often more work than the hardware, but I think this drive to prove to everyone that inellectual property, or just simply property, has a place in the world, is to then go extreme on it, and lock every bit of knowledge down as intellectual property, or every bit of physical property as rental property. Da Man loves to hog property. It's the only way he really knows how to make a living, convert every friggin thing into property, take it from everybody by force, then sell it back to them at a greatly inflated price. The issue on real estate and housing price crisis in the US, the outrageous housing cost and rent prices, which then drive up the rent-like you'll never pay it off mortgage prices (called the American dream of owning your own home and not have to pay rent or mortgage interest on it, that's all it is, a dream, because he makes sure only a few actually ever pay it off, everyone else is kept in a refinance hamsterwheel by remote killing the chips in their cars), is at the core of why the US is uncompetitive in the global marketplace, it's not human talent or ability, but Da Man having lost a sense of touch with reality, and still expecting to keep increasing rent yearly from $500 to pretty soon 700-800/mo, while cutting $25/hr union jobs to $8/hr minimum wage. And if someone grumbles, hisses and bitches loudly, that's good, he can easily find and control and keep down the trouble makers, analyze their DNA genetically, then find other people with similar DNA, and kill them all. In the name of his self interest.

Just watch Edit Bunker and Archie Bunker go grocery shopping, when Archie loses his union job. You can tell Archie has not been shopping for years, which means he brought home the money, and it was all up to the female to budget and manage how to spend it, how to stay within the means for the couple.

Ever watch Hannibal Lecter eat brain, or even in Collateral Damage a guy getting fed a deadly snake? Now you're guilty of watching imaginary things as if you did them yourself. Pretty much all Hollywood would have to go to jail, for a whole lot of movies have sex and violence and blasts in them, I know, they are supposed to be things of the imagination, just like Manga cartoons. Why is it OK to watch a person getting gutted violently, but a post puberty sexually reproductive female (most manga girls have huge tits meaning they hit puberty and are sexually reproductive age) naked not? If anything they need to lock up all the biotech researchers that torture mice and frogs and rats and monkeys in labs, and set all the child porn addicts free, as long as they don't have a history of actually committing a sexual act with a child. A lot of them are probably recluses, and what do they do? Look at a manga cartoon image? Gimme a break.

It's not the CEO. If anything women are very materialistic, and the men bring back to the cave the wealth, and the women manage it and make life and death decisions over it, unless it's an easy life with overabundance, and then they go shopping to make themselves feel prettier, because they never ever feel pretty and attractive enough, even the hottest females on the planet, but when things are tight and resources very scarce, and there are hungry kids to feed, there is nothing better to let the women manage the finances, and the men concentrate on gathering it and military defense from others wanting to take it. But ultimately, even in a paternalistic society, behind every great man there is a woman pushing his buttons.

The real issue these days is that chips are just that friggin expensive to make, at the nanometer feature sizes, with UV laser etching, and dust free environments having to be maintained. That's what's dragging IBM profits down, the expense of making a top of the line chip these days. And you could get a lot of value out of those chips, or sell 10x smaller ones for half the cost, but the real fault in all this profit issue comes down the lazy software developers. Why do you need a multicore CPU with 4GB of RAM to come to read text on Slashdot without your browser quivering and collapsing to its knees under the flash and javascript instruction load? Remember Windows 95 software running circles around anything Slashdot-like running today in 4 GB of RAM with a 2GHz quad core CPU, and doing it in a mere 0.032 GB RAM 200 MHz single core CPU? It's all lazy software developers, or more like they are not lazy, but they like to create complicated things where they can hide perverted shit, the code is not transparent, or simple, so you can have these wars of deceit inside it, hacking and defending, fighting in a way, they enjoy a good boxing match which is not possible on simple, crystal clear code where it is impossible to hide shit or deceive. It's like they enjoy a good shitslinging party, and they assume 4GB or RAM available on a modern computer, simply to read basic text spruced up with ads and various javascript menu features, and companies like IBM pay for all this shitslinging entertainment when they can't keep their cost together and collapse as a company. IBM is one of the few computing companies left that are fully vertically integrated, meaning they can give you hardware and software both, so they can't point the finger and pass the blame on someone else, and they are US based and can bring home the manufacturing in a ware situation, and when they go out of business all the modern chip foundries will be in East Asia. Then what's stopping another Pearl Harbor when the Greater East Asian co-prosperity sphere got you by the balls, cuz all you can make in the US is a stupid Microchip, that won't run a military logistics inventory database server.

Ha ha ha ha ha.
Indeed, "The pen is mightier than the sword."
Or these days "The USB mouse is mightier than the ICBM."

Yeah Linux or any complex multi-person project is vulnerable to the same sabotage by people weaseling their way into key control positions, then abusing that power, as Rome was susceptible. The first Caesar's way of subduing the whole Roman Empire shebang was as the controller of what topics were up for discussion in the Roman Senate. He could single handedly kill any topic and control the whole empire from a simple clerk's position. Kinda like a mailing list moderator, ain't it.

Dude, genius is not breedable. You can breed relatively intelligent people, that follow the traits of their parents, but true, groundshaking genius, along the lines of Galileo, da Vinci, Newton, Euler, Leibnitz, Lagrange, Laplace, Gauss, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Einstein, Schroedinger, Dirac, etc,(I apologize to the ones left out) is rare, and it does not stay in the family, with some very rare exceptions like the Swiss Bernoulli family that had quite a few geniuses. The reason is that genius is not a built in genetic trait, but a haphazard decision of the resident mind control microorganisms, who are actually the geniuses, not the person. Usually they reward people based on behavior and internal thought processes, such as religious fervor, dedication to love and goodness and improvement of mankind, and there is no such thing as a genius genetics of humans, you can recognize smart people, or have expectations of intelligence or behavioral traits based on people you've met before and how they acted, behaved and were motivated, but genius is its own distinct category and nothing human even comes close to it. These parasites are the ones that used to reside in the biblical prophets and predict the world, but they gave up on that with Mohamed being the last prophet. They are also the ones creating the various religions of Greeks, Romans, Hindus, Buddhists, Incas, Aztecs, Native Americans, but sometimes they allow the persons to run free, without forced mind control, as in free will, to see what they do, and often come to realize what they were trying to accomplish was not working, such as the bloodthirsty human sacrifice religions around the world even after much scientific progress. But it's like only through God that takes up residence within you can you achieve anything great, and it's actually God doing it, not you, so you should not really take credit for it anyway in the first place.

Before taking up residence in humans, these bacteria and fungi and viri that coexist with each other in great genetic variability and think together, used to take up residence in other lifeforms, fish, bugs, reptiles, mammals, and it's like they are driving evolution, and created the dinosaur extinction because of cold blood, when they prefer warm blooded animals to reside in, they are more comfortable. For some stunning examples of ones still residing in insects, search youtube for mind control insect parasite fungi and bacteria, usually the fungi are most visible in their behavior, and see how they are smarter than the insects themselves, in fact, without them, and their intellect, insect societies might be impossible to control and organize.

This is the first step down the long road of humans evolving into alien queen like creatures 3 billion years from now. It starts with extrauteral egg rearing that only gets implanted for temporary key periods of immune system development and such that does require spending time in the uterus for now, but the mammalian female such as a human can continue unhindered with her career, while her baby is developing at a medical facility in a jar, and she pays visits, like takes a week off a month to reinsert the baby into her uterus, at least while it's small size and it's critical, but I'm guessing after month 4 or 5, or whatever the earliest premature births are that are for fetuses that able to make it on their own, the remainder of the development could be in an incubator of some sort, kind of like premature born babies are taken care of. So the real pregnancy lasts for say 4-5 months of 1 week vacation of keeping the baby inside the womb to get acclimated (i.e. uterus), and maybe some stressful ritual at the end of 9 or 10 months for the baby to start breathing coming out of the artificial womb, while the woman's body and bone structure never having to take a toll of adapting a gigantic sized baby, and I don't know how lactaction would work, that's a whole separate topic, but she could maintain her youthful health and appearance. It's gonna be big money for rich people and feminist career women, maybe even rich lesbian couples that get sperm donors. These lesbian couples might be the way to where all humans end up female and they lose the males and the benefit of genetic variability that sexual reproduction brings about, along the lines of the problems of the sexlife of the banana, and how earthworms prefer mating with sex partners, but in absence of an opposite sex, they are able to self-inseminate, they are all hermaphrodites. This will also mean at first artificial technology wombs, but if the future becomes hell to where such stability and availability of secure technological locations can be guaranteed, such as in war times, and natural disasters, etc, genetically engineered ovipositors can seek out other warm blooded lifeforms, such as birds, or mammals, and mammals including non-evolved humans that stay the same as present day humans, and use them as an artificial womb. Yay, the wonders of biotech of the future and the drive for survival bringing about ripped human ribcages, 3 billion years from now. Maybe sooner. After all 3 billions years is a huge amount of time, life has been around on this planet for only 4 billion years, out of which the first 3 billion were all single celled organisms, maybe fungi too, as far as we can tell, and only in the last 1 billion years have multicellular organism appeared on the scene, and only 600 million years ago dinosaurs, insects and flowering plants that depend on each other, and only 7 million years ago human like apes, and only 200,000 years ago the common ancestors of all humans that roam this planet in overabundance. So 7 million or 0.2 million years for humans so far vs. another 3,000 million years, is a lot of time to evolve into other crap. One can only imagine the biotech hell the future brings, but that is still orders of magnitudes better than an artificial intelligence hell that eats up all silicon and any matter it can come across in the galaxy, and this includes all humans and biochemical lifeforms. The Almighty save us from an AI hell, and the biotech fungi and bacteria that controlled life for 3 billion years, maybe even tested and tried then canceled multicellular life projects before and erased it without a fossil trace, so these critters that inhabit every single multicellular lifeform and do mind control on them, will not allow an AI hell as far as their abilities go. They are not omnipotent, and things have a potential to get out of hand, but the military is relentless in trying to develop smarter weapons with better vision, faster reflexes and better artificial intelligence than a human, such as IBM Deep Blue could beat Kasparov in a simulated artificial battle scenario called a chess board, it may be possible to develop better silicon and semiconductor military brains that don't know how to enjoy music or art or even sex, but they sure as hell can whip any human or biochemical brains at battle tactics, weapons design, etc, pretty much ending up dominating this galaxy. Because of this insatiable drive by the military for better weapons, more power, more intelligent machines as weapons, they will have to be unfortunately defunded through a global economic collapse, as a necessity for things not to get too out of hand. It's not a matter of question of if, but of when. If anyone can come up with another reasonable solution, that'd be nice. International treaties to self cock-block, in an I won't develop smart weapons if you won't develop smart weapons, are for the naive and simple minded folk. So enjoy your computers and camera loaded image (and voice and fingerprint and odor and dog and tree and bird and sun and sky and cloud) recognition mobile devices while they last, but you do understand why they cannot be allowed to get out of control in intelligence, right? Hopefully though some low tech self-sufficient space stations carrying a Noah's Ark zoo will make it to space by the collapse, which is what the deadly balancing game is about these days. Biotech to these 4 billion year old critters with mind control intellect is not scary, though they do get annoyed by glyphosate getting sprayed everywhere and lawn mowing exterminating or severely limiting native flowering "weed" and the genetic variability of flora and fauna that depends on those flowers, senseless lawnmowing that has already got out of hand too much, is quite annoying to them. But there is still time, everybody work on making self sufficient livable space stations a reality before the crash.
