Hello,
More precision about more of my philosophy about automation and globalization and Donald Trump and more..
I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..
I have just explained, read below, that Donald Trump protectionism
is not good, but i think that around 85% of jobs losses in the manufacturing sector in USA was caused by automation and not by China
or such as were thinking it the people who elected Donald Trump, and you can look at the following video that talks about it and that makes you understand that automation also has advantages:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-rd3kW7Bc8
Following are some of the advantages of automation:
1. Automation is the key to the shorter workweek. Automation will allow
the average number of working hours per week to continue to decline,
thereby allowing greater leisure hours and a higher quality life.
2. Automation brings safer working conditions for the worker. Since
there is less direct physical participation by the worker in the
production process, there is less chance of personal injury to the worker.
3. Automated production results in lower prices and better products. It
has been estimated that the cost to machine one unit of product by
conventional general-purpose machine tools requiring human operators may
be 100 times the cost of manufacturing the same unit using automated mass-production techniques. The electronics industry offers many
examples of improvements in manufacturing technology that have
significantly reduced costs while increasing product value (e.g., colour
TV sets, stereo equipment, calculators, and computers).
4. The growth of the automation industry will itself provide employment opportunities. This has been especially true in the computer industry,
as the companies in this industry have grown (IBM, Digital Equipment
Corp., Honeywell, etc.), new jobs have been created.
These new jobs include not only workers directly employed by these
companies, but also computer programmers, systems engineers, and other
needed to use and operate the computers.
5. Automation is the only means of increasing standard of living. Only
through productivity increases brought about by new automated methods of production, it is possible to advance standard of living. Granting wage increases without a commensurate increase in productivity
will results in inflation. To afford a better society, it is a must to
increase productivity.
And i invite you to read my following thoughts about protectionism
and capitalism etc.
More of my philosophy about Trade Adjustment Assistance and globalization..
I think that protectionism is not good, and i think that Trade Adjustment Assistance etc. is a better way of solving problems, so
i invite you to read the following article to know more:
https://theconversation.com/international-trade-has-cost-americans-millions-of-jobs-investing-in-communities-might-offset-those-losses-143406
And read more here about Trade Adjustment Assistance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_Adjustment_Assistance
More philosophy about protectionism and USA and more..
I think we have to be careful about protectionism, since read the following:
"Protectionist policies impose an additional cost and loss on all parties. First of all, domestic consumers must pay a higher price for goods. At the same time, importers face a decline in demand, so international jobs are lost. For instance, the US-
China trade war meant that US consumers paid a higher price whilst demand for Chinese workers is reduced.
So the Chinese unemployment increases and US consumers pay more. However, the counter-argument is that it saves US jobs and businesses. Now there is some validity to that claim. If the money sent to China doesn’t come back in either demand for US goods,
or FDI, then the argument can be validated.
However, the reality of the situation is that when a US consumer buys cheaper Chinese goods, that money goes to a Chinese exporter. That money doesn’t stay with them indefinitely. It makes its way back to the US through either demand for its goods or
in FDI.
What we see as a result is that Chinese demand drives employment in other industries. So jobs that may have been lost in one industry, are being created in another. At the same time, the FDI inflows also create employment in the relevant industry.
Although there is disruption, there is a net positive gain in the long term. Employees will have to shift to new industries, but the average consumer benefits from lower prices. By contrast, the only winner under protectionism is specific domestic
workers. However, they too are consumers and consequently lose out too.
Is Protectionism Good For The Economy?
In the long-run, protectionism is not good for the economy. It makes consumers and businesses pay more. And whilst it may protect jobs in the short-term, the economy as a whole would be better served in allowing cheaper imports in. Although this may
temporarily destroy some jobs, consumers benefit from lower prices. In turn, the income that would have been spent on the goods before can now be spent in other markets. In turn, employment is stimulated elsewhere in the economy."

More of my philosophy about closed systems and open systems and interdependent systems..
I think i am smart, and i will say that we have to have the right spirit
so that to be efficient, and i think that the basis of the right spirit is also to look at how we are interdependent systems of different countries etc., so i think that the best way is to know how to be like
the right randomness of the evolutionary algorithms that permits to not get stuck in a local optimum and be able to ensure the convergence to a global optimum, i mean that the best way is also to know how to well balance between cooperation and
competition, since so that to not get stuck in a local optimum of efficiency we have also to know how to buy products and services from the other countries so that also to encourage creativity and innovation, since if you are too much competition you can
"monopolize" too much and this can hurt creativity and innovation, so then we have to become a much more efficient and civilized world. And I think that Nazism or neo-nazism or white supremacism or communism are also too rigid, so they don't work
correctly, since they also have the strong tendency to want to like too much homogenize and to too much monopolize and too much centralize, so they are not efficient systems.
More of my philosophy about correlation and about diversity and more..
I think i am smart, and i will say to look again at what is saying
the Ph.D Katherine W. Phillips that is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics Management at Columbia Business School(Read about her here:
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/profile/katherine_phillips):
"Large data-set studies have an obvious limitation: They only show that diversity is correlated with better performance, not that it causes better performance."
So i will say that this Ph.D and other researchers are not so smart,
since notice how is speaking the Ph.D Katherine W. Phillips in the following article:
How Diversity Makes Us Smarter
Read more here:
https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_diversity_makes_us_smarter
So notice that she is not saying that human diversity is a "mechanism" that can cause "competition" or more competition between people, and then competition can be the cause of better performance, so you are noticing that the above Ph.D and researchers
are trying to measure it empirically, but i think that this kind of measuring is not a correct measuring, since what i am showing you by my way of thinking is the fact that there is a "tendency" in human diversity that it causes competition or more
competition, so it causes better performance, so then we can notice that by not following there way of empirical measuring we can still
know about the process. So as i said, i think this Ph.D and other researchers are not thinking and abstracting correctly since from my saying below we can notice that human Diversity in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "
competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and better cognitively and socially, but if we are
not being the right human diversity and we are working harder and better cognitively and socially, then i think being human diversity can still "keep" or "maintain" the working harder and better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings
different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent thinking that enhance creativity and innovation.
More of my philosophy about USA and human diversity and more..
I just said the following:
"I think i am understanding rapidly, since i think that human Diversity
in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and
better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent
thinking that enhance creativity and innovation."
So i will invite you to look at my following writing about USA that will make you notice how USA is making itself innovative and creative by bringing the "best" big brains immigrants, and notice, like in my above saying, that it is also saying the
following:
"But it’s not just a numbers thing. Another reason immigrants do so well
in tech is that people from outside bring new perspectives that lead to
new ideas."
And here is more of my new thoughts about USA, read them again carefully:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/kIbGEdTXezQ
Yet more precision of my philosophy about diversity and adaptability and resilience..
I think i am understanding rapidly, since i think that human Diversity
in a global world or in a society or in a group brings more "competition" between people, so it makes us work harder and
better cognitively and socially, also human diversity brings different human perspectives or views and it brings different human experiences and different human knowledges and it is good for creativity and innovation since it is also good for divergent
thinking that enhance creativity and innovation:
And here is my new proverb that talks more about it:
"Human vitality comes from intellectual openness and intellectual
openness also comes from divergent thinking and you have to well balance divergent thinking with convergent thinking so that to converge towards
the global optimum of efficiency and not get stuck on a local optimum of efficiency, and this kind of well balancing makes the good creativity."
And i will explain more my proverb so that you understand it:
I think that divergent thinking is thought process or method used to
generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions, but notice
that we even need openness in a form of economic actors that share ideas
across nations and industries (and this needs globalization) that make
us much more creative and that's good for economy, since you can easily
notice that globalization also brings a kind of optimality to divergent thinking, and also you have to know how to balance divergent thinking
with convergent thinking, since if divergent thinking is much greater
than convergent thinking it can become costly in terms of time, and if
the convergent thinking is much greater than divergent thinking you can
get stuck on local optimum of efficiency and not converge to a global
optimum of efficiency, and it is related to my following thoughts about
the philosopher and economist Adam Smith, so i invite you to read them:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.culture.morocco/c/ftf3lx5Rzxo
More of my philosophy about life and about evolutionary algorithms..
I invite you to listen to the following beautiful song of Simon & Garfunkel called called April Come She Will:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J1tCJEYETk
I think that the above video of the song is showing how our world
is "diversified" and it is good for adaptation and resilience, and it is the most important thing, and this diversification is also very important even in economy, since i think it is like evolutionary algorithms in artificial intelligence, since they
are based on the same very important idea of diversifying by also decentralizing by efficiently specializing the members of the population so that to make it efficiently "adaptable" and much more "resilient", and the efficiently specializing can be
efficiently specializing in a much higher level layer, like being a "generalist" medical doctor, and from the this decentralizing and efficiently specializing emerges a higher level intelligence such as a civilization, so then even evolutionary design
methodology that i am talking about in my thoughts below does decentralize from the agile architect to the other members of the team,
and here is step 3 of the important steps of evolutionary design methodology of agile that i am talking about below:
3- Instead of creating one big design at the beginning of the project
that covers all of the requirements, agile architects use incremental
design, which involves techniques that allow them to design a system
that is not just complete, but also easy for the team to modify as
the project changes.
And here is my thoughts about artificial intelligence and evolutionary algorithms in artificial intelligence:

More of my philosophy about economic diversification in Africa and Arab countries..
As you will read in the following paper that economic diversification is good for growth and economic diversification is also tremendously important for "resilience", so i think that the country that we call Algeria has a big problem since it lacks too
and too much on diversification of its economy, so i think that Algeria will get easily into big problems of violence and disorder, but Morocco and Dubai are much more diversified economies and i think that Morocco is on the right path, so i think that
the problem of many African countries is that they have to become diversified economies.
Read the following paper so that to notice how important is diversification of economy:
Economic Diversification in Africa: How and Why It Matters
https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/04/30/economic-diversification-in-africa-how-and-why-it-matters-pub-84429
More of my philosophy about economy and about Morocco and Algeria and more..
So as you are noticing i was speaking, read below, about Algeria,
and you have quickly noticed that the Algerian economic problem comes
from the fact that Algeria is a much less diversified economy than Dubai or than my country Morocco, so i think that Morocco is a much more diversified economy and i think that Morocco is really on the
right path and Morocco is also a beautiful country, since read in the following article of year 2019, it says that the 2019 International Franchise Attractiveness Index ranked Morocco 39 out of 131 states. This made it the number 1 attractive business
hub for US-based franchises in Africa and the second in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) after the United Arab Emirates. This ranking shows it competing with some leading international powers, including France, Spain, Germany and Australia,
according to a report by Morocco World News. The index combines peer-reviewed research and a survey of franchise executives to produce two rankings, balanced growth and aggressive growth.

More of my philosophy about economy and inflation and more..
I invite you to read the following about how do Governments Reduce Inflation:
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111314/what-methods-can-government-use-control-inflation.asp
I think that one of the best way to reduce inflation is by reducing the money supply within an economy via decreased bond prices and increased interest rates, and the above web page is speaking about it, but i think
that there is still a problem, since inflation can become problematic if
the product or service become a monopoly, so if the prices of the product or service can not be reduced by for example economies of scale or/and by "competition", so the price of the product or service can be set high and it is inflation on this product
or service, so this kind of situation can also lead to an economic war, also inflation still can become a problem like with the drastic fall of the algerian Dinar in Algeria, since Algeria is lacking on diversification of its economy and also was unable
to reduce its reliance on food imports, since 70% of the Algeria food requirements are met by imports, so with the drastic fall of the algerian Dinar, the price of Food in Algeria was getting high, and the people of Algeria were suffering because of that,
and this situation can still repeat itself again and again in Algeria.
Read about it here:

I invite you to look at step 4 of my below thoughts of software Evolutionary Design methodology with agile, here it is:
4- When in agile a team breaks a project into phases, it’s called
incremental development. An incremental process is one in which
software is built and delivered in pieces. Each piece, or increment,
represents a complete subset of functionality. The increment may be
either small or large, perhaps ranging from just a system’s login
screen on the small end to a highly flexible set of data management
screens. Each increment is fully coded Sprints, Planning, and
Retrospectives.
And you will notice that it has to be done by "prioritizing" the pieces of the software to be delivered to the customers, and here again in agile you are noticing that we are also delivering prototypes of the software, since we often associate prototypes
with nearly completed or just-before launch versions of products. However, designers create prototypes at all phases of the design process at various resolutions. In engineering, students are taught to and practitioners think deeply before setting out to
build. However, as the product or system becomes increasingly complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to consider all factors while designing. Facing this reality, designers are no longer just "thinking to build" but also "building to think." By
getting hands on and trying to create prototypes, unforeseen issues are highlighted early, saving costs related with late stage design changes. This rapid iterative cycle of thinking and building is what allows designers to learn rapidly from doing.
Creating interfaces often benefit from the "build to think" approach. For example, in trying to layout the automotive cockpit, one can simply list all the features, buttons, and knobs that must be incorporated. However, by prototyping the cabin does one
really start to think about how the layout should be to the driver in order to avoid confusion while maximizing comfort. This then allows the designer iterate on their initial concept to develop something that is more intuitive and refined. Also
prototypes and there demonstrations are designed to get potential customers interested and excited.
More of my philosophy about the Evolutionary Design methodology and more..
Here are some important steps of software Evolutionary Design methodology:
1- Taking a little extra time during the project to write solid code and
fix problems today, they create a codebase that’s easy to maintain
tomorrow.
2- And the most destructive thing you can do to your project is to build
new code, and then build more code that depends on it, and then still
more code that depends on that, leading to that painfully familiar
domino effect of cascading changes...and eventually leaving you with
an unmaintainable mess of spaghetti code. So when teams write code,
they can keep their software designs simple by creating software
designs based on small, self-contained units (like classes, modules,
services, etc.) that do only one thing; this helps avoid the domino
effect.
3- Instead of creating one big design at the beginning of the project
that covers all of the requirements, agile architects use incremental
design, which involves techniques that allow them to design a system
that is not just complete, but also easy for the team to modify as
the project changes.
4- When in agile a team breaks a project into phases, it’s called
incremental development. An incremental process is one in which
software is built and delivered in pieces. Each piece, or increment,
represents a complete subset of functionality. The increment may be
either small or large, perhaps ranging from just a system’s login
screen on the small end to a highly flexible set of data management
screens. Each increment is fully coded Sprints, Planning, and
Retrospectives.
5- And an iterative process in agile is one that makes progress through
successive refinement. A development team takes a first cut
at a system, knowing it is incomplete or weak in some (perhaps many)
areas. They then iteratively refine those areas until the product is
satisfactory. With each iteration the software is improved through
the addition of greater detail.
More of philosophy about Democracy and the Evolutionary Design methodology..
I will make a logical analogy between software projects and Democracy,
first i will say that because of the today big complexity of software
projects, so the "requirements" of those complex software projects are
not clear and a lot could change in them, so this is
why we are using an Evolutionary Design methodology with different tools
such as Unit Testing, Test Driven Development, Design Patterns,
Continuous Integration, Domain Driven Design, but we have to notice
carefully that an important thing in Evolutionary Design methodology is
that when those complex software projects grow, we have first to
normalize there growth by ensuring that the complex software projects
grow "nicely" and "balanced" by using standards, and second we have to
optimize growth of the complex software projects by balancing between
the criteria of the easy to change the complex software projects and the performance of the complex software projects, and third you have to
maximize the growth of the complex software projects by making the most
out of each optimization, and i think that by logical analogy we can
notice that in Democracy we have also to normalize the growth by not
allowing "extremism" or extremist ideologies that hurt Democracy, and we
have also to optimize Democracy by for example well balancing between "performance" of the society and in the Democracy and the "reliability"
of helping others like the weakest members of the society among the
people that of course respect the laws, and so that to understand more
my thoughts of my philosophy about Democracy, i invite you to read them

More of my philosophy about the kind of president Biden's tax increase on the rich and more..
And of course the kind of president Biden's tax increase on the rich will be used so that narrow America's vast income inequality,
read carefully here so that to understand:
Biden's corporate tax plan takes aim at income inequality
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/bidens-corporate-tax-plan-takes-aim-income-inequality-77420625
So there is still a problem and it is that we have to solve the problem
of the financial sector by giving voting rights and tax advantages to long-term shareholders etc., read my below thoughts so that to understand:
I have posted the following video:
Why raising taxes destroys the economy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GChpnX44_Ns
But i think that the kind of Biden's tax increase on the rich is not a problem, read the following so that to notice:
"In an interview, Mr. Pomerleau said the drag was small from the proposals because Mr. Biden was largely taxing savings of high earners, which are not major drivers of economic growth given those Americans have a lot of their wealth saved.
“Some tax increases have larger effects on growth than others,” he said. “Biden has chosen taxes that don’t have a massive effect.”"

The biggest benefit of finance, is to provide opportunities to people, in the sense that in a world where there is no finance, the only way to start a company is to be born rich or to have saved for a long time. In a world where finance works well, the
people with talent can actually start firms and reach their dreams without waiting to either have saved the money, or be lucky and receive it from their parents, and once you create this opportunity, you will have the most talented people take advantage
of those opportunities, which favors growth, which favors a good allocation of resources and, ultimately, innovation. But we have to know what is the problem with finance, and here it is, read the following so that to understand:

So i invite you to look at the following video about capitalism:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOaJe68C-bU
So as you notice in the above video that you can also fix capitalism by
giving voting rights and tax advantages to long-term shareholders and
not by raising taxes, and you need to have sovereign wealth funds and
national pension funds representative of the long term collective
interests etc, so i invite you to look the above video of "How to

More of my philosophy of how to become rich and more..
I invite you to look at the following video that speaks
about how to become rich:
STOP Chasing Money -- Chase WEALTH. | How To get RICH | Garry Tan's Office
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hdu4DlnLIk&t
The person that is speaking on the above video is called Garry Tan,
and here he is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Tan
And I think i am smart and i invite you to look at the following "defect" or "bug" of the above video, look here at what he is saying:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hdu4DlnLIk&t=425s
So he is saying the following:
"So what is most useful, is actually acquiring skills that nobody else has, especially in combination that are rare. If you can rebound the ball and nobody does it quite the way you can, you can be a Hall of Fame
basketball player. And that applies to all the things in your career and in life."
So look at the following how he is giving the "general" way:
"So what is most useful, is actually acquiring skills that nobody else has, especially in combination that are rare."
I think that the "defect" in the above saying and "general" way of the
above video is that it is not taking into account the factor of the usefulness to consumers or to customers since you can acquire skills that nobody else has, especially in combination that are rare, but those skills can still be useless to the consumers
or customers, so i think that the above saying is not so smart. So the person on the above video has forgot the very basis of what is it of something has to be useful for the consumers or customers, so read my following smart "redefinition" of
Utilitarianism so that to understand:
More of my philosophy about why the definition of Utilitarianism is like an IQ test..
Notice that i think i am smart, since when i just looked rapidly at the definition below of Utilitarianism, i have rapidly discovered a pattern
with my fluid intelligence and it is that even if the definition
of Utilitarianism is: That Utilitarianism prescribes actions that maximise happiness and well-being for all affected individuals,
i can easily see a pattern with my fluid intelligence since i am
smart, since the pattern is that Utilitarianism maximises happiness and well-being by well balancing taking into account not
only the present but also the future, i mean that responability
is inherent to the definition since the well balancing forces us
to be responsability in the present or today so that to maximize correctly happiness and well being tomorrow or in the future.
I can give you another IQ test that i have rapidly invented and
here it is:
So i will give my example of pattern recognition with my fluid
intelligence that permits to understand, here it is:
So if you want to go fast from my country Morocco to another country
called USA , how will you do it ? or what will you do ?
It is like my IQ test..
So if you answer that you need for example to use a fast airplane to go
fast from Morocco to USA, your answer is a stupid answer, so you need
the smart answer, so i will answer that the fast airplane too has to be "reliable" and your "health" has too to permit it and the "weather" has
too to permit it, so now you are clearly noticing that you need to take
into account many "factors" so that to go fast from Morocco to USA, so
you are clearly noticing that being smart needs also a good plan.
More precision of my philosophy about Utilitarianism..
I invite you to read the following definition of what is Utilitarianism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism
So as you are noticing, it says that Utilitarianism prescribes actions that maximise happiness and well-being for all affected individuals,
but i think that Utilitarianism is not idiotic since it maximises happiness and well-being by well balancing taking into account not
only the present but also the future.
So you can read all my other proverbs that i have just invented quickly here:

More of my philosophy about my new proverbs and about my philosophy and more..
As you have just noticed that i have quickly not accepted the views

materialism is the problem and where Knox College psychologist Tim Kasser too says that materialism is the problem, and read my below thoughts to know why i am not in accordance with them, and read the following so that to notice:
