+postlabor asymptotes
+- post-operator
+- post-strategist
+- post-curator
+
+---
+
+postlabor conceptually has 3 fundamental phases
+1. post-operator
+2. post-strategist
+3. post-curator
+
+---
+
+post-operator =
+
+  when robots are able to execute any declared strategy & fulfill it reliably
+
+  i.e., w/ rhachet + khlone, we achieve post-operator
+
+  skills are strategically distilled so that khlones can operate them and fulfill any objective
+
+  depends on
+  - delegation
+  - orchestration
+
+---
+
+post-strategy
+
+  this is where robots are delegated to the ability to strategize
+
+  at this point, we become locked in an arms race
+
+  businesses are now structurally unstable as any moat can be destabalized strategically with enough time. && beter strategies = new mechanisms for success
+
+  ---
+
+  distillation of skills for how to strategize better
+
+  &&
+
+  execution of strategy exploration
+
+  becomes a red queen arms race
+
+
+  ---
+
+  asymptotic becuase it will likely never end (as skills related to strategization continuously selectively evolve under competitive and intrinsic pressures)
+
+  the timestcale that this occurs over may be forever, too
+
+  &&
+
+  the strength of a moat will be measured in terms of
+  - strategic compute spent in vulnerability detection (which is constrained by cost.{time,cash} * efficiency of strategy skills)
+  - the resource cost required to exploit detected vulnerabilities
+
+  ---
+
+  i.e.,
+
+  - moats are measureable
+  - skills are evolved, red queen arms race
+  - systemic stability is searched for
+  - systemic opportunities are searched for
+
+  ---
+
+  true post-strategy is the asymptotic stable state where all moats have been disolved w/ sufficient strategy
+
+  in a world w/ no more moats, then
+  - execution is commoditized
+  - efficiency is commoditized
+  - capacity is commoditized
+
+  no captured resources exist.
+
+  instead, totally distributed abundance is all that remains
+  - free outcome of anything desired
+    - cash cost goes to zero (literally)
+    - time cost goes to zero (symbolically; really, to the theoretical limit for any operation that achieves the same behavior)
+
+  ---
+
+  in that world, only curation remains
+  - taste; gut feel on whats better or whats worse
+  - values; what kind of world do you want to live in?
+  - purpose; why do you care?
+  - etc
+
+  ---
+
+  at the end of the post-strategy curve, @ the asymptote,
+
+  curation becomes the last frontier of human labor.
+
+  i.e.,
+  - why to strategize?
+  - what to strategize for?
+
+  consumers will vote w/ dollars based on values
+
+  what values they want to express
+
+  what systemic outcomes the businesses they purchase from produce
+
+  what virtues they represent
+
+  they'll vote for the ffuture via their purchases; their patronage.
+
+  via what they choose to spend their time on.
+
+  ---
+
+  khue's come in on
+  - what about post-curator?
+  - wouldn't post-curator arrive in parallel to post-strategist?
+
+  ---
+
+  also, a question is,
+
+  khue; post-operator, would folks even have the ability to purchase?
+  - assumptino is yes
+  - in the distributed postlabor abundance future, anyone can have anything
+  - the only cost is time && sustainability
+
+  ---
+
+  the floor is raised
+  the ceiling is unbound
+  the walls are firm (treat others as self)
+
+---
+
+post-curator
+
+  the last asymptote is post-curator
+
+  && again, asymptote because its unclear if ever humans will be totally removed or whether there will always be an advantage of added human perspective; peer review
+
+  ---
+
+  w/ curation in particular,
+
+  for human tastes
+
+  1. values are curatable
+  2. vibes are curatable
+  3. priorities are curatable
+
+  ---
+
+  the role of a human may be to curate their bet && see if it resonates w/ otehrs
+
+  ---
+
+  similar to all labor though, its possible even curation
+
+  can be distilled into skills that surpass human capacity or efficiency each time too
+
+  hence, some long run asymptote
+
+  bet = this will take longer than post-strategy
+
+---
+---
+---
+
+1; post-operator asymptote =
+
+  robo ability to delegate and orchestrate execution against prescribed (= distilled skill) strategies
+
+2; post-strategist asymptote =
+
+  robo ability to strategize the best way to fulfill any objective
+
+3; post-curator asymptote =
+
+  robo ability to curate the most desirable taste in future (design, values, priorities, etc)
+
+---
+
+the impact of each is restabilization
+
+1. post-operator = restabalization of employment & survival
+2. post-strategist = restabilization of business & ecosystems
+3. post-curator = restablization of independence
+
+
+---
+
+specifically
+
+---
+
+post-operator;
+
+  humans are no longer competitive as operators
+
+  theres no more room for hand woven fabrics
+
+  when you have the loom.
+
+  this means employment and surival contracts must have sever restabilization
+
+  this impacts 90%+ of all folks.
+
+---
+
+post-strategist;
+
+  humans are no longer competitive as strategists
+
+  theres no more room for human ideas to compete in how to achieve goals, efficiency, or capacity
+
+  its all driven by increasingly comodetized strategic capability, until everything is commoditized
+
+---
+
+post-curator ;
+
+  humans are no longer competitive as curators
+
+  post strategist, everything is commoditized
+
+  purchase from bizX
+  costs the same as
+  purchase from bizY
+
+  so, by the end of post-strategist, the only differentiator = taste
+
+  = the curated "taste" of the product
+  - how does it make you feel
+  - what does it represent
+  - what values does it propogate
+  - what future does it systemically produce
+
+---
+
+at that point, curated taste is the last frontier
+
+- why to do things
+- what to strategize for
+- &&
+- in what priority? (prioritized against time)
+
+---
+
+eventually, & robably longer than it takes to achieve post-strategy
+
+we'll reach post-curation
+
+where even this, it is no longer competitive for humans to curate
+
+as a robot will always be skilled enough to produce better taste
+
+at that point, we cant even trust our gut
+
+a total loss of independence -> we choose all, but never produce any
+
+
+---
+
+now, on curation
+
+the universe is so immensely infinite
+
+that perhaps there will always be room for humans
+
+to independently express and explore tastes in different realms
+
+so perhaps we'll always be navigators of our own destiny
+
+&&
+
+always have the questions to explore through
+
+---
+
+but!
+
+the answer space
+
+that will be post-labor
+
+robots will propell to the navigable spaces much faster than us
+
+&&
+
+synthesisze the deliverables faster too
+
+
+---
+
+so, post-curation
+
+our only frontier will be
+- to explore (concepts, space, diversity of imagined tastes, etc)
+- to express (life, emote, experience, etc)
+
+---
+
+maybe as enriched companions to robots with unlimited freedoms
+
+but surely companions at best, and not the producers any longer
+
+e.g., spoiled and constrained only by walls that keep eachother unharmed by eachother
