In this Ramadan, I will live in the true sense of Islam and stop drinking (only during the Ramadan, of course).
Wow. I completely forgot about the Istanbul 2079 video series plan. I can easily make these videos from my computer using generative AI models. ALLAH❤️THANK YOU. I'm going to mail my professor this week and drop out of graduate school. I'm starting to work on this.
I have a plan to turn this psychosis into a video series called "Istanbul 2079". The video series will look like infographic educational video essays. The videos will introduce Istanbul City-State and provide information about the rules and management of the city. It will start out with a utopian narrative because the first video focus on the transparency and accessibility. The color palette will be bright and vivid throughout the video series. But gradually the world of the future will unfold. The scarcity of the world will be hinted in every video with little detail. In the end it fully exposed that the future world is very scary and full of scarcity.
Istanbul: Blockchain City-State
I accidentally took more medicine than I should have taken. I got lost in the economic district of Istanbul and had psychosis for 4 hours. It was amazing. It was like a waking dream. I will describe one of that dream/psychosises. In the dream, Istanbul was a Blockchain City-State. There were very few livable cities in the world. Istanbul was one of them. The world was scary and full of scarcity. It is impossible to live a safe life outside the cities, and almost all of the cities were rule as a "Blockchain City State". Entries to the city was only made with a visa. The city was covering basic needs for every citizen such as food, water, health. (By the way, what I saw was definitely not a utopia.) There was scarcity all over the world. All food that entering the city was recorded. Population and the health information of each citizen was also recorded. No one could cook at home or buy ingredients for cooking. People could only order food from a interface that city provided. The city was controlling all food intake and distribution. The food stock of the city, the population of the city, food production and distribution, health centers and their information, health statistics of the population and data of all bureaucratic institutions involved in the city-state administration were recorded in a system that was open to everyone, it was impossible to make retrospective changes and all data were interconnected. For example, someone gains 10 kilos and that person's weight gain information is recorded. The amount of calories that person needs to take changes, the food portion that person can order changes, and the city's food intake and food stock sharing among citizens are adjusted automatically according to the new weight information. Such a system was needed because without such certainty it would be impossible to live in a world of scarcity. It wasn't utopia and wasn't like anarchism, because there was so much vulnerability, especially in the city borders. That's why it looked so much like a police state but food, health and population data were transparent and accessible to everyone. It was very advanced cybernetic system and with each new information new calculation is made, statics is changes and action need to make is adjusted. All automatic and open to everyone. The citizen could check all the information through an interface, make a doctor's appointment, order a meal, check their health information, read the city’s statistics. All in the same interface. It was a dystopian, politic and sci-fi psychosis and I really loved it.
I am a Pisces/Sagittarius. I am gifted. Sometimes I feel something and that feeling is so strong that I know it's the truth. We are in the archaic era of bitcoin. Like the internet, bitcoin will be use in all aspects of society. We will experience the greatest shift the human era has ever seen. I feel this and I know it is the truth.
I remember the day I first researched bitcoin. It was the last days of 2017. My friends were talking about bitcoin. I got curious and went to my room and researched it. I couldn't get up from the computer for 8 hours. It was bitcoin's greatest invention after the internet, but everyone was talking about bitcoin as a kind of "online money". For a long time I thought I had misunderstood something.
I don't have bitcoin because I don't have the budget to invest. Also, there is no need to view bitcoin as an investment. I've experienced what happens when the central bank loses its neutrality, and it was easy to lose. Bitcoin solves this problem.
I did everything right. I got in a good university, did a lot of internships. I started graduate school. I have always worked hard and still do. I have no fault. The whole course of my life has been changed because of bad economic decisions made by people without any competence. That's why bitcoin.
The middle class disappeared because of hyperinflation. Now there are only the poor and the rich.
3 years ago, my salary was 5000 lira, my rent was 1750 lira. I have to move in March. Now the rent of similar houses is 15000 lira. My salary has also increased to 1700 liras, but the remaining 2000 lira is not even enough for my monthly groceries. For me, hyperinflation is not a term in economics books, I can feel it. I live with it. I can feel hyperinflation even in the smallest cell in my body.
Why does no one find it strange that a technology which core philosophy is decentralization has such a central figure?
