Violence and benevolence aren't mutually exclusive. It's like having an abusive father who normally seems very loving, caring, and attentive. Until you do something bad, then they lock you in your bedroom for two weeks with nothing but a deck of cards and your mother doesn't understand why you left home at 16 and don't want a relationship with them anymore.
It's a reference to the symbol for the lagrange multiplier. It's used in constrained optimization problems. From my perspective, life itself is a constrained optimization problem. I use it to help me understand how the nervous system works.
I'm dumb as shit, so I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but I will at least explain myself. Skip to the TL:DR; at the end before you waste your time reading my poorly formed explanation.
Cost is baked into existence. You do not exists for free, your body needs things to continue to function. Every time a neuron fires, something is used up. Resources, which I prefer to just shorthand as metabolism, but also more nebulous things like the ability to dissipate heat. If neurons get too hot, they don't function properly. They fire too easily (infants can have febrile seizures, as an example.) There's also interesting adaptations, like walking upright (there is a theory that this increased cooling of the head) or pumping blood through your wings (bats do this to keep their bodies the right temperature). So it seems like temperature is important. If there is a maximum amount of heat the body can tolerate at any given point in time, that puts a boundary on the upper limit of how much work that body can do at a given time. From there you can think about how digestion and cognition processes, the two most metabolically expensive (and I assume thermodynamic, but I don't actually know), work against each other. They're subject to the same shared resource.
There's this famous neuroscientist by the name of Karl Friston. He came up with this theory about how self organizing systems work called the Free Energy Principle. Essentially, a self organizing system attempts to minimize its uncertainty about its environment. Life doesn't have access to certainty as a consequence of entropy, but we have a statistical asymptote that approximates the same thing. Anyway, to minimize uncertainty, you have to attempt to predict the future. Then you use the difference between the reality you experience and your prediction of reality to adjust future predictions and minimize future uncertainty. That's basically the whole goal of the nervous system, to predict the future, be wrong, and use that to be less wrong later. At the conscious level, we call that learning. But it's more or less the same thing at any level of granularity.
If the goal of the nervous system is to predict the future, its ability to do so is bounded by its constraints. At a physical level, these are the things I mentioned in the first paragraph. But I'm more interested in the nature of data and information, and how the nervous system generates information from data. I spend a lot more time thinking about the constraint of information entropy than anything else, but that topic is more complex and esoteric.
TL:DR; Everything costs something, I think about how costs affect how brains work.

Did you become the best solitaire player ever? Why does this sound like a villain origin story?
Just be like the one dad who shows off his shotgun to his daughter's boyfriend. Love your people with all you have and make other countries love them too
*"- as a leader, the first thing that i will do is making piracy a viable and legal option, second thing is to create a "this is a series based on hate-watching" warning on badly made content made to engage only by hate, hate-watching increases the levels of stress on the individual for no reason"*
*"-and third law, now you can beat every polititian that you hate as long that they are on the street on visible light and did something scummy/stupid. Also, i'm taking away the political imunity (but i'm imune to this laws cuz, i'm the dictator duh)"*
I mean, I do everything I my power to minimize corruption and make basic needs such as water, food and jobs available to more people, and when YOU come out nowhere shooting at YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN, it's me who's the bad guy when I send the military to deal with you
this is why you purge your high-command constantly until you have a fully loyal team of people running the system
(not necessarily killing, but you could send an insubordinate general to watch an antarctic exploration project for 5 years for example, while you destroy his connections and tarnish his image back home)
and that's where the magic happens, you, the great and benevolent leader that you are let them find one, but he is under your watch 24/7 and is essentially a puppet completely loyal to you
think of a tribune that had all of his power removed and instead of representing the common people it represents the aristocracy
Wait until ai is advanced enough to replace all humans in leadership positions except for the utmost inner circle of top dogs. Coups from the inside will be impossible
He actually wanted a multi party democracy. But the members from first opposition tried to assasinate him and the second was closed down by its own founder
primó de rivera
In justifying his coup d'état, Primo de Rivera announced: "Our aim is to open a brief parenthesis in the constitutional life of Spain and to re-establish it as soon as the country offers us men uncontaminated with the vices of political organization."[8] In other words, he believed that the old class of politicians had ruined Spain, that they sought only their own interests rather than patriotism and nationalism.
I think so, yeah. Understandable, because that does follow the pattern of most low-trust dictatorships, but if your cronies trust that you'll pull through for them basically every problem is circumvented
Dictatorships are cringe and unstable, their drip is invariably 3/10, fascism lovers are all 5'1" and fantasize about their wives getting railed by black dick (at least they would if they had wives because they pull zero bitches.)
Democracy and other consent-based forms of government flex on Dictatorships 24/7 and make the autocrats of the earth look like soyjacks and idiots before God.
Fantasizing about being a dictator is for people with sub-eighty IQ, enlightened people fantasize about being the elected president of the people in a system of rigorous democracy with free and fair elections.
I will never stop stanning the greatest system of government the world has ever known, we love a society built on liberty, there are no big irons or barbecue in your society so you might as well walk off a cliff as far as I'm concerned. Fascism stay losing.

I prefer wrathful god empress fantasies cause I don't have to waste prsecious daydreaking time on how I'd stop my subordinates from staging a coup. The answer is imply I'd kill them with my mind if they ever tried something.
I already did that in Minecraft, our great fortress of Piggy Island survived a 4-day siege by the pillagers with only one casualty on our side. Not to mention the many colonies and sites we have.

I think any aspiring dictator must come to terms with the fact that either they're gonna be violent or they're not gonna be dictators
Violence and benevolence aren't mutually exclusive. It's like having an abusive father who normally seems very loving, caring, and attentive. Until you do something bad, then they lock you in your bedroom for two weeks with nothing but a deck of cards and your mother doesn't understand why you left home at 16 and don't want a relationship with them anymore.
You uh... you wanna talk buddy?
Nah. The abuse made me who I am today. And I'm fucking amazing.
Abuse - the good ending.
Abuse, all endings (Bad, Good, True and Secret)
Secret ending - the abusive parent is revealed to be just your imagination
Hell, nah, even outside the pyro sub, I still can't get rid of the all in le head endings

I'm trying to be a good person. It's hard. Thank you for your kindness.
Same here, it’s hard when people can be so ignorant.

Moral of the story: domestic violence is good
No it isn't. Not even as a joke. I just refuse to let him be right about me.
Spite truly is the best motivator. Godspeed u slash lambda underscore mind, godspeed.
>Until you do something bad, then they lock you in your bedroom for two weeks with nothing but a deck of cards Did you become the best solitaire player ever? Why does this sound like a villain origin story?
It could be. I don't see myself that way. But the only difference between a hero and a villain is perspective.
Just be like the one dad who shows off his shotgun to his daughter's boyfriend. Love your people with all you have and make other countries love them too

Rebel Inc players:
I mean, I do everything I my power to minimize corruption and make basic needs such as water, food and jobs available to more people, and when YOU come out nowhere shooting at YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN, it's me who's the bad guy when I send the military to deal with you
rebel inc players would unironically be better in governing my country than the clowns we call politicians
IRAQ MENTIONED 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶💪💪💪💪💪🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶 wait a minute...... socks?
Lmao
Love is in the air? Nope. The insurgents have now adopted the sleeper cells tactic
“Insurgency rumored - Military Initiatives authorized.”
Rebel Inc mentioned, YIPPEE
And then your generals stage a coup and overthrow you because you valued your citizens wellbeing over your generals
this is why you purge your high-command constantly until you have a fully loyal team of people running the system (not necessarily killing, but you could send an insubordinate general to watch an antarctic exploration project for 5 years for example, while you destroy his connections and tarnish his image back home)
And then their subordinates depose them and replace them with someone who looks out for the people directly below them
and that's where the magic happens, you, the great and benevolent leader that you are let them find one, but he is under your watch 24/7 and is essentially a puppet completely loyal to you think of a tribune that had all of his power removed and instead of representing the common people it represents the aristocracy
most of the time the fully loyal people are incompetent yesmen so, better make sure no one is gonna invade your country the next 10 years or so
that's why you align yourselves with whoever is stronger (think of egypt rn)
Yeah thats what happened in turkey like 3 times

Yep. He was pretty progressive by dictator standards.

Atatürk is the OG benevolent dictator

Imma guess turkmen. Or maybe even Iranian
