    We’re definitely a subset of it! And you could argue that any machinations therein are a part of nature, but then again I also think that if you have a computer running a simulation, while the computer is the substrate the simulation is run on, it’s also a bit separate. One way to think about it is that there isn’t really a “place” in the computer you can look and find the simulation. So too is our society. Nature (us) is its substrate, but you can’t really point to anywhere in nature with any kind of precision and say “ah, there is the society”.

    Your last sentence made me think. It’s not necessarily true that the employees’ benefit does not increase, but what if it didn’t?

    Normally employees gain experience and the money to hopefully move away from their current position, but it’s a great point that capitalism has no response to positions of pure stagnation. I don’t think that the answer is communism, but introducing social systems around those edge cases in the economy is incredibly important.



  • One thing I’ve been thinking about in this area is you could make the “plugin system” completely compiled. Users would have some toml or .rs file they would change and point the rust compiler at a directory and come out with a new binary. You could still add in a “Lua plugin” plugin which enables lua-based plugins without forcing all users to pull down the gear required to use that in rust. It would also make it possible for people to create various “distributions” of the editor with varying complexity and size depending on user needs
