This note is on politics and logistics.
My father and I are of different creeds ... he's a career Methodist, and I focus on a STEM agenda. We had a short chat yesterday while I drove him about a family event. I proposed that the commonality of our work lies in the logistical components.
I suggested to him that his people can pay more attention to the use of technology and market intelligence in the deployment of their non-commercial operations. The phrase 'force multiplication' was unfamiliar to him, but I'm sure he already knows the concept - *his* dad was an officer in the KMT.
If you believe that there is a mysterious spirit at the heart of every human, you will probably be somewhat limited in your architectural scaling plans. But even then, there are aspects which can be automated without infringing upon your spiritual delicacies :
- - the administration of logistical tasks
- - the teaching of general skills and knowledge ( personal physiology, home economics, etc. )
- - the expert recommendation of paths through obscure bodies of knowledge ( local law, any body of techne, any vast account of history, etc. )
- - all of these are relevant from birth to death
If your charity is not using these, other charities with different interests are using these. So there is a degree of skill involved in the exercise of charity, in terms of optimising for resource efficiency in ops, based on strategic goals. Where interests are conflicted, this has specific competitive outcomes.
On the other hand, if you do not believe that there is anything spiritually different between humans, other meat animals, and machines or physics in general, then this all has even greater implications for success.
