I think Laura's dream makes sense, but as with all things, the law of 3 and just general common sense should be applied rather than treating it as some arbitrary rule that we must try to "define" and blindly follow. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that any arbitrary laws/rules/regulations that are not intelligently assessed in real time are themselves entropic and for the same exact reason, they are devoid of conscious real-time human input. So for example it would make no sense if we took what Laura said and eventually agreed that for every X amount of human effort or work, a machine must do no more than Y amount of work. Like, how would we define what is a single loom vs massive loom? How much cloth must a loom make before we define it as "entropic" - is it 2 pounds for one operator per hour? 2.3 pounds? Let's say we came up with a number - wouldn't it be arbitrary and entropic in and of itself to just designate such a thing and follow it by letter just because it's "designated" by a committee? That's how our senseless and entropic governments and rules work right now, and it's bad.
It makes more sense to just see what the technology is going to be used for, how it is being used, and what affect it has on everyone - the operator, other people, the output itself, the need for this output in the first place, and the need/intention for producing this technology, etc. Technology right now is driven by blind greed - less effort for more "productivity" = more profits, all other consequences or considerations be damned, hence it is entropic and damaging from the get go. For example, more food isn't necessarily good - if you only have a certain amount of mouths to feed, then you should have no need to infinitely try to expand food production and agriculture, etc. If your population is growing unchecked - that not a legitimate need or a motivator - that's the problem! Address that, instead of bending over backwards to accomodate unchecked population growth. Whose fault is it that the population is growing without any conscious control? In a world of limited resources, no "infinite growth" (except in knowledge) can possibly go on forever, so it makes no sense to just let it run its course until the unchecked population literally depletes the planet of resources and kills everyone. And I'm not talking about population control like how PTB see it by killing people, I'm talking about a conscious agreement by the population to breed only so much that a certain number is maintained, with easily maintained and just guidelines for how to go about it so it is fair for everyone. Not possible in our mechanical world, but we're talking about a theoretical STO world. Our economy is also predicated on eternal growth, also impossible and doomed to fail, and anything that uses resources but is expected to grow forever will meet disasterous results, it is the only way it has ever been or can ever be, so mechanical/impossible "needs" is what we need to address, not to try to accomodate such impossibilities and ignore the obvious eventual outcome.
If our goal is knowledge and being more conscious and aware, as well as being more STO, then our technology should be designed to assist that, and never hinder it. We should utilize and grow our mind wherever possible to accomplish what we need - so any technology that isn't training our minds and serving our hearts is already bad. Any technology that serves our laziness, or our greed, our any entropic/mechanical part of us that demands it, is bad. Any technology that allows us to not think would be bad., and if we do use it because it is very useful for something, we should ensure that it does not have the negative thought-blocking affect. Something like calculators - they can make things easier and more automated, but it can also utterly destroy people's math skills, especially kids in highschool - and it's not just math skills, it's critical thinking skills, ability to figure out numerical problems and therefore grow/exercise the mind. So if calculators exist, great care must be taken that those who would use them out of laziness cannot use them - that they serve a beneficial purpose to humanity only, and never become a crutch/hindrance. And that purpose must be very carefully considered - exactly what "need" is driving the technology, is this need justified or mechanical, etc.
Anyway, the creation and use of technology both must be done by conscious people with the intention of furthering consciousness - the technology must be in service to our goal of advancing ourselves as conscious entities and growing in that sense at all times, and if it doesn't serve and help further that goal, then it's folly. If you think about it, our brain is an amazing supercomputer and if properly trained can allow us to do pretty much anything we use computers for today - just look at what savants can do when they accidentally have a part of their brain turned on that is off in all of us! It's our own fault our subconscious and conscious minds are not consciously available to us, we need to figure out why and put in the work to activate the rest of our brain - sure 4d STS may have had something to do with it, but we can fix it. Here we have a technology that can be completely under our conscious control and allow us to do much more than any external supercomputer we build today, and allows us to not depend on external technology for the vast majority of things we use technology for. And the best part - if activated and trained and used properly, it can be intimately under our conscious control, we become superhuman. But of course it would not be of service to our entropic overlords if a bunch of supergeniuses are running around, hence humanity was never encouraged or even allowed to focus on fully developing themselves.
(the internet) .Imagine how our world would have been if all the good inventions were allowed in our society... ;D
