[SOFTWAR by Jason Loru (@JasonPLowery)] ‘A New Theory of Power Projection and the National Strategic Importance of Bitcoin’ Chapter 4. Power Projection Tactics in Human Societies twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...

The power projection techniques in nature are equally applied in human society, and play an important role especially in political/economic/military strategies. In human society, not only physical power but also abstract power is dealt with, and abstract power is more prominent in interactions with each other. twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...

“The true expression of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” -Albert Einstein- Brain tissue requires 20 times more power than muscles. The most energy-consuming part of our brain is the neocortex, which is used for abstract thinking.

Humans learned how to control fire, so they can supply energy to the large neocortex. By cooking food, they digest it in the form of digestion before it reaches the stomach, delivering more energy to the neocortex. (The neocortex is used for abstract thinking) youtu.be/NYqEh-VsxW0?si=OsirHo...

Imagination is a phenomenon that occurs when the human neocortex uses abstract skills to form concepts. It automatically creates what exists behind the human eye (imagination) without effort. (It's just a hallway with a door, but it creates fear (imagination) in the brain.)

How to know if something is real “We suffer more in our imagination than in reality” -Lucius Annaeus Seneca- The human brain thinks and interprets through the neocortex, so it is difficult to define what is ‘real’. youtu.be/3Ge8dhkbOSA?si=DXd_kt...

The way the brain distinguishes this is by pinching. This is because projecting physical force is made up of concrete phenomena in reality. A signal that can distinguish whether it is a signal that originated from the neocortex, aka proof of power, is the same as projecting physical force through a Bitcoin electrical signal. twitter.com/gamdotai/status/14...

Evolution of Abstract Thinking Humans evolved faster than the speed of evolutionary time, and began using their neocortex to enhance hunting and gathering activities. Humans had to develop strategies to hunt animals with high CA (attack cost) and low BCRA. youtu.be/JD-g7z14GKk?si=uzd8Ux...

The caribou herd was so powerful that humans had to pay a lot of cost (damage) if they fought on the plains. After waiting in the canyon, they hunted the caribou by throwing spears from a distance as they passed by, which was the CA's way of attacking at the lowest point (canyon). (There was no damage)

“The pen is mightier than the sword.” - Edward Bulwer Lytton - Humans can communicate ideas by exchanging information at a high level. In particular, they can create collective beliefs, and these beliefs are how money and currency work. Money is a belief system. When belief in money collapses, so does trust. twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...

Understanding Abstract Power “Storytellers rule society” -Plato- Humans use abstract thinking (creating hierarchies within themselves, using belief systems) to make people believe in order to avoid physical conflict.

“Hard times make strong people, and strong people make good times.” - Michael Hope - However, in human history, when resources become abundant and people become comfortable, BCRA goes up and these societies are dominated by other predators. In the opposite case, a new ruling class appears and history repeats itself. twitter.com/timelessbitcoin/st...

The 10,000-year-old human fossil record shows evidence that history repeats itself, and those who have the ability to impose great costs on their attackers survive. Physical power has no emotions and no limits. (Captain Elizabeth's A-10 Thunderbolt power is self-evident, legitimized, and uncapped.)

And the use of physical force to legitimize abstract power is justified because it is a belief system that has been agreed upon. The physical power of the A-10 Thunderbolt above is backed by the abstract power of the US Constitution, and people cannot compromise on this.

Creating Abstract Power Law, finance, and politics are all abstract systems for maintaining power in human society, and abstract power is maintained when members believe in it. And it creates motivation to maintain the system, and without it, the system collapses. youtu.be/b3KpdTSKr1A?si=L_lOc0...

The Benefits of War War is tragic, but it has historically brought many benefits to human society. The main value of war is the permissionless nature of resources. Because war decentralizes abstract power and maintains permissionlessness, just like Bitcoin's proof of work. twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...

Bitcoin could also spark a new form of ‘war’, one that is not a clash of physical forces, but rather a contest over power projection and information control in cyberspace. This war could potentially bring about new innovations and social changes. twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...

National Strategic Security The US dollar is a resource controlled by an abstract power hierarchy supported by the most powerful power in the world. If the US forgets this structure and abuses its control (money printing), people will no longer value the US dollar as a reserve currency, and the US will lose its abstract power. twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...

Eventually, when the US dollar loses its abstract power and control, it becomes a projection of physical power to regain control over other essential resources (oil, water, food, minerals, etc.), and this is the main motivation for all wars. Since physical power is not equal, the US becomes a projection of power.

Now that we have a model for resource control, we can examine the topic of national strategic security. When individual nations project national power, their CAs are high individually, so they are combined into a coalition of nations. After thousands of years of this dynamic (war), we reach the bottom.

MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION (MAD) We (the US) won the World War, but we created a massive abstract hierarchy (the USSR) based on asymmetric abstract power and authority over precious resources. It is a tragic cycle that uses winning a war to cause another war. youtu.be/oXwW7Rpvfgg?si=XAWn7s...

Humans need horns Human abstract ingenuity has made physical power cheap while making it costly to the opponent, and has become an existential threat to humanity. (Nuclear warheads) That is, it is efficient but inefficient, and this is called the ‘physical Schelling point’.

And nations have found another efficient way to attack in this deadlock (MAD) while reducing costs: lethal drones. These are flying in swarms, unmanned, and drop bombs precisely where they are needed, lowering the CA, so many nations have begun to use them. twitter.com/anduriltech/status...

Now we finally have insight into the human physical force projection technique that is essential to understanding the potential national strategic implications of Bitcoin. As a result, we must maintain security that imposes a significant physical cost on attackers and make it permissionless (proof of work).

This is not new, and it was predicted by Nikola Tesla in his book “The Problem of the Increase of Human Energy”. The war machine will exceed the maximum energy possible, and instead of fighting each other, we need machines that can act like human will. What will that electronic horn of human society look like? twitter.com/atomicbtc/status/1...
