billionaire kids don’t need to learn computers because MONEY IS A HIGH LVL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

Money is a programming language.

money does work for you

money dispatched labor which does work

code dispatches labor which does work

code means
1800 to ~2012 : algorithm labor
~2012 to today: probabilistic labor

code is data, information, state.

money is virtual, information, state.

virtual runs physical and physical runs virtual.

two perspectives on one whole.

information is potential work

information is potential energy

information is difference. this vs that. the basic virtual gesture : names, categories, words.

physical information is the structure that makes the universe more than one undifferentiated equilibrium

dna and memes are two codes that resist entropy

dawkins coined “meme” to show that there are non-biological information organisms

Selfish Gene said : dna is an immortal information organism. “Now, natural selection favours replicators that are good at building survival machines.”

a bluray isn’t long term storage. biological life is long term storage.

Dawkins borrows GC Williams definition : “A gene is any portion of chromosomal material that potentially lasts for enough generations to serve as a unit of natural selection.”

In other words “It may not even be meaningful, to decide where one gene ends and the next one begins.”

“The shorter a genetic unit is, the longer – in generations – it is likely to live. The less likely it is to be split” during cell division.

a gene is “the fundamel unit of natural selection.” Its length depends on whether it succeeds over generations.

a gene is a type of “replicator” that lives or dies by its “longevity, fecundity, and copying-fidelity.”

so gene is a perspective on natural selection in rna/dna medium. gene is a word for talking about units of biological information.

human minds host another natural selection battledome: culture.
dawkins coined “meme” to point at the natural selection contest in the medium of language.

memes and genes resist entropy by propagating across individuals and over generations

money is programming.
programming is labor.
labor is information preservation.

money is turning complete. money is programming. programming is labor. labor is preserving information, fighting entropy.

money guards state from entropy by computer and human labor.

money flows are steered by natural selection at network organism scale : corporation, state, ideology (all memes)

the most urgent art/design medium is business models, because a network is driven by its optimization function.
