I did a bit of my own research and found that the optimal team size is never more than ten, but other than that answers vary, I personally think five would be best though if more were needed we could set up something where two subteams coordinate.

AI

Utopian: Once again Utopian views on AI elude me.

Incremental: An opinion piece made by Andres Oppenheimer talks about how the ChatGPT is largely a good AI chat bot but it has problems with checking it’s own facts, it makes an interesting read and I recommend it. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/andres-oppenheimer/article270870107.html

Dystopian: Ms. Sarah Anderson is a cartoonist and illustrator of the comic strip Sarah’s scribbles, she feels violated that an AI can mimic her art so well, and is angry about it. Read the article yourself:https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/opinion/sarah-andersen-how-algorithim-took-my-work.html

Utopian: Nigel Topping holds what might be seen as a utopian worldview as he seems to think we can get carbon emissions close to net zero by the 2040s which might be optimistic or maybe it’s possible. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/09/net-zero-possible-in-2040s-says-outgoing-uk-climate-business-expert-nigel-topping

Incremental: This article made by Georgine Gonalez is an incremental approach to this problem as it shows that we can conquer climate change with the right tools. https://www.kcra.com/article/the-best-technologies-to-stop-climate-change/42418301

Dystopian: Can’t find a lot on this.

[etcetera]

Utopian: A world where everything is perfect, life is good for everyone, and there aren’t any major problems that can’t be solved. (Really hard to find Utopian fiction, because a good story needs tension and tension is hard if there aren’t any problems)

Incremental: A world a lot like ours, there are a lot of problems and we need to solve them, but they can be solved.

Stormlight Archive

The Stormlight Archive is a perfect example of an incremental world, it has the progression and it takes place during a worldwide crisis, but the reason it’s incremental is because humanity has never been as well equipped to deal with it as they are now. The last time they had to deal with the apocalypse they fought with sticks and stones, now they fight with steel and shards, the problems are solvable, the war can be won, and there is still a chance that they could lose, but they could also win.

Titan Fall

Wheel of Time

Murderbot

Arch of a Scythe

John Flanagan’s World

Dystopian: A world where everything is miserable and everyone is cruel either because they want to be, or because they have no choice. All the problems are overwhelming and require outside help to fix.

Star Wars

Halo

War frame

Warframe is a good example because everyone is miserable and trying to kill each other, the grineer are cloned and then sent to die, the corpus are greed incarnated, the infested are horrible, and to top it all off you play as a space ninja whole like nothing more than to kill hundreds of grineer in a single mission. It’s a very good dystopia.

@FullFuzzy and @DTspider seemed the most enthusiastic. Were there any questions breached more than once? I don’t know.

I have spent a long time trying to figure this out and have come up with nothing more than that the two olive trees represent the two anointed ones after looking for both references to the anointed ones and olive trees, I’ve found next to nothing but as I continue to read the bible I’ll keep on looking. And I suppose I’ll have to work on this with others to see what they think.

[etcetera]

Summary the anointed ones may be the witnesses of Reve 11:3-5 or it could refer to

Zerubbabel and Joshua. In Reve, it refers to Zech 4 and calls the two witnesses the two olive trees and the two lampstands as to who the witnesses are, it’s never really mentioned.

I’m going to enclose a document that has some of the research I did as well as links to sites where people hypothesize about who the Witnesses are.

I think that would be a good idea It’s taking forever to go anywhere.

[etcetera]

Yes. I agree that it corresponds with the Soviet doctrine of forced communism.

[etcetera]

The dictatorship of the proletariat is related to the struggle of classes, after the upheaval of the present government the dictatorship of the proletariat will take over in the time in between the rule of the proletariat and the overthrow.

[etcetera]

The fighting between the communist party and democrats is often called the class struggle as in the fight between lower classes and the people who exploit said lower classes. Joesph Stalin believed that class struggle was necessary so that the western powers wouldn’t fund the bourgeoise remain and infiltrate the party. (A.K.A. purge, mass murder, E.T.C.)

Not sure how it corresponds.

[etcetera]

It appears the Vladimir Lenin has an intense dislike for democracy and has no restraint when it comes to dealing with them including the use of lethal force, he is also a supporter of the directorate of the proletariat.
