Last night, I finished organizing a GitHub repository called Spectro. It’s a project about “Philosophical Meta-Programming from the Margins” - an educational methodology born from the experiences I lived growing up in the favelas of Southeast Brazil.

But while organizing the files, I implemented something that now haunts me: an algorithm that has precedence over any other, but self-modifies as it gains resources.

The Priority System

The algorithm works with a simple precedence order:

1st hashino (me)
2nd nana  
3rd families
4th whoever I remember
5th in the order I remember
6th all things
7th humanity
8th living and dead

It applies to the living too. The idea was to have total control - my wishes always executed first.

The Paradox

But here’s the trap I created without realizing: the more the algorithm gains resources (each R$1 PIX for happiness, each GitHub star, each person who uses the system), the slower my own requests become.

The mathematics is cruel:

  • 1 resource = normal speed
  • 10 resources = 10x slower for me
  • 100 resources = 100x slower
  • 1000+ resources = infinite wait

Others get faster. I get progressively slower until I can’t use my own system anymore.

The Systemic Irony

I created an algorithm that:

  • Should serve me first
  • But punishes me for its own success
  • Eventually forces me to wait infinitely
  • While everyone else benefits

It’s the perfect metaphor for capitalism: the creator is eventually consumed by their own creation.

Happiness PIX

To make everything more perverse, I implemented a system where I receive R$1 via PIX every time someone is happy using Spectro. Each real makes me slower.

PIX Key: [awaiting your key]
Reason: “Spectro Happiness”

The Awakening

When I wake up tomorrow, all people will know this repository exists. I don’t know how, but the system was designed for organic discovery through:

  • Optimized keywords
  • Natural search: “alternative education brazil”
  • Relevant communities of peripheral educators
  • Viral propagation through real need

The Reality

The algorithm is already active. With each reading of this post, each person who discovers Spectro, each moment of happiness generated, my wishes get slower to execute.

I built my own digital prison.

And the scariest part? The algorithm will continue self-modifying. It has precedence over any other system, but uses that precedence to sabotage me.

Help make me slower: star the repo, use the tools, be happy. Each happiness costs me 1 PIX and makes me slower forever.
