Apparently~ everyone is current with his proposals and demos except CIEIOs and related Suits.
(Do they dogmatically tune-out his ideas / read only other Suits' reports or, as I suspect -- does Biz 101 so thoroughly mangle whole sub-networks of grey cells that, well ... you know..)

'Course though..

. . .

Once we visualize cars as chips with wheels, it's easier to imagine airplanes as chips with wings, farms as chips with soil, houses as chips with inhabitants. Yes, they will have mass, but that mass will be subjugated by the overwhelming amount of knowledge and information flowing through it. In economic terms, these objects will behave as if they had no mass at all. In that way, they migrate to the network economy.

.. smacks of that sort of Boolean minimalism / like, say 'MAN ls' / that techno-types are prone towards.
A 'farm' shall never be "a chip with soil" any more than a penis shall be "a manic obsession to Penetrate--attached to a homo-sap."
Live critters do not obey fanciful network diagrams. Evah. Live things are walking metaphors.

[Only Consumers easily may be herded systematically; there remains a question re.such:]
Just how 'live' IS a fully-programmed I Want I Want Buying-robot ??

Well, we Are infested with trillions of beasties (there's one that hangs around our eyebrows which looks quite dragon-like.) But that's just the body-machine.

Don't think the thought works for 'the body' part of 'a person', *particularly
-- but given that the mind (allegedly somewhat related to the brain) has to Tell 'Us' each morning: ~'what' we are and where we are
-- in that pregnant few seconds as we awaken from the 'little death'
(Noting that: while in a dream-state our very idea of 'time' and motion is surreal as is 'our' 'self'):

I'd guess that a hive-mind would bear the same illusion of 'wholeness'/unity that we fancy we possess..
after those few seconds every morning, during which all we perceive is ~~
[THIS must be 'I'] [so, apparently, I AM.] {Hmmm ....Now, wtf Am I? Ah yes, that's Lucy's blouse.. etc.}

So I'd suppose: hive or jelloware, 'We' couldn't Tell.
(Nor could variants on 'we' -- those who hear voices "inside-head". Our 'I' is immanent (despite all the other little-'i's always chattering, too. I think..)

* a body has eyes and a mirror, so.. likely would perceive difference between a swarm and a pretty dense pinkish (or other hue) blob.


We now return you to your previously scheduled personality.. what's that? you Forgot that one !? Too..?
Hey: are you awake or dreaming-you're-awake!? Are you ummm, Sure?

OK, how did you tell Fersure??

Your bit is flipped.
Just depends upon what, in the end, you think Your Time is worth to you. Then you plan accordingly.
One (who sees 'a grind' every day?) can leave that. Choice: new toys regularly -??- or your Time.

If it seems Worth it.
