Thank you skeptics!

Without you, the #BAUniC project would be swimming among a bunch of loser initiatives able to keep on going because not faced with questioning, or causes whose champions are not as determined.

We are different aspects of the same movement, towards enlightenment.

We do not need to have a formal alliance for each to be positively impacting each other.

We are smarter than our ancestors, by virtue of relying on the best synthetized knowledge they have to offer, and scrutinizing it, improving upon it, sometimes tearing it down.

Here, through educated guess, we can assume the formula of the universe is quite within reach of small groups and individuals, so much faster if we make it into a global phenomenon. Your skepticism may say we are wrong. But you must agree that this is such an important issue that we must try, not simply give up thus making it actually impossible. In a world of 7 billion, if 1 in a million are suited to exploring the fractal universe, we got 7000 bright souls and very considerable chances of success, because we got access to ready Einstein, Everett and Feynman formulas, and an open mind on expecting the universe to be based on maths and fractals. We got the computers and interconnectivity that augments our collective IQ. We got quadrillions of digits of Pi and millions of digits of prime numbers.

What compromises we could be accepting in the formal alliance with the 1 in a million? Is it acceptable if the research of the fractals comes from bright minds who embrace 'disgusting' theories outside of the fractal universe? Think Nazi, islamists, feminists, chauvinists, Trump supporters, Trump deniers, etc.
Would it be acceptable to join forces with such groups?
Where would the ethics of fast research meet with concerns outside?

Of paramount importance is for the good guys to be exploring the fractals, otherwise this would only be in the hands of the bad guys. That means regulations that help, not stop research.

Other than that, antagonism with the current system is a feature of the current cluster of souls supporting #BAUniC, and with good reason. The system is ill-prepared for the future that is right at our doorstep, formula of the universe or not. If the system was well-prepared, it would not be the same system, and likely we would not be antagonizing it as much. But the current system, the one that is threatened by progress (space, robotics, A.I., biology, immortality, and why not the formula of the universe), is pretty much our enemy. If the system is resisting progress, that makes it fundamentally opposite to #BAUniC values. We do not mind, for example, if enlightened exceptions of the Islam religion agree English is the language of humans but the universe is written in maths. We mind, though, the resistance to progress coming from the first world societies.

The 1% are no longer particularly keen on keeping the status-quo. They want immortality, they want to live in the semi-paradise of wealth and influence. They do not mind society going on for a while longer still in human-eat-human mode, though.

The biggest problem is not the 1%. They, as individual humans enriched with experience, have the vision to see potential futures and how to best guide their actions to a path that ensures more power in the revolution to come.
The biggest problem is slaves actively fighting for their system. Industries made of swarm subconscious resisting progress because the unknown is more fearsome than the known monsters. They have been so deeply brainwashed by the current organizational mode of society that anything else would be too troubling. The kind of people that would at maximum complain but not actually target criticize the current system, let alone take steps to changing it.
The kind of people so deeply scared of the monsters that could potentially come that they don't realize these monsters they fear are the very monsters currently inspiring that fear, which, upon a change of the system, will change facade or core of themselves and become the monsters that what is expected of them.

There are those who act into the resistance mode without conscious understanding, in a swarm unconsciousness of keeping what works, forgetting that it is not working (any system with worse outcomes for more advanced technology/productivity is not a system that is 'working'. We are a generation worse off than our parents, so, screw the system that made it so.). And there are those who understand some more, and yet see progress, especially those of the fastest changes, like A.I. and the formula of the universe, as the enemy instead of the system that inspired them to fear for their barely above average lives.

With few exceptions, the 1%, the leaders of the free world, do not want a life worse than already having. The issue is with the mindless crowd in a system designed to keep people busy and invent work. This crowd may even elude the influence of the 1%. These are the people that will keep society going and fuel the potential of violence in a revolution that is quite the opposite of that.

How much sense does it make to be on antagonistic terms with these people? Yet we must, because they are sheep that don't know what to do unless told, sheep that are part of a system that needs to fabricate news and wars to keep the wages coming because cannot conceptualize a zero cost economy with universal basic income. They are the ones who believe the outcome of the Rat Utopia Experiment, and take it for granted, shutting off critical thinking and skepticism. Well, maybe they are right. As far as they are concerned, they are closer to the rats than to the higher primates that do not fall into chaos when finding themselves into utopia. They are the people that would need a treadmill just to keep pretending they are useful, and that most likely will shun away from brain upload and becoming the new dominant lifeform on this planet. Bad/useless as organics, not wanting to become synthetic/software.

These people will be always a resistance, whatever your cause is. We should try to manipulate them, since they are prone to easy manipulation. That is not to say make allies out of them. They are not allies. They are myopic in-the-box thinkers which are more of a burden than an advantage to keep around and educate at the current stage of technological development. The immediate future will render them useless and depressed in paradise, but that should not stop the rest of us from trying to bring that paradise to earth. Becoming protectors and caretakers of our planet is a duty, else we go the way of the dinosaurs.

A far future, with a deep culture of zero cost and utopia of humans, will be different than the immediate impact of unemployable humans. The system is warned, and they know it, consciously (if they don't, they are too imbecilic to be cared about). The 1% know it and pull the strings accordingly. If the advancement of our society comes in traumatic form, so be it. Otherwise, zero cost is not what should worry us about the advancement of technology, and the advancement is unstoppable. Any country, religion or corporation trying to stop advancement is best suited for jungles and deserts, not the world of caretakers of Earth.
