Retention and Defection
Important topic for continuation of problem statement: creating open source blueprints for civilization. Retention is low at Google, something measured on the scale of months. We need 10-100x this, or decades.
Retention defined as? Working on open source blueprints for civilization. That means the discipline of coordinated hardware-producing (as in Maslow’s Pyramid bottom layers) because in the order of things, we have not achieved it.
Open source blueprints for civilization means leveling the playing field, for distribution of power. This means equal opportunity. This could include great disparity of ambition or wealth, but not as big as under a condition where the playing field is even. Because more people are encouraged to participate, and the mood all together is more positive under a condition of lower oppression.
