Changes for Door Designs

 I gave a thought to doors recently, and decided they are underutilized spaces. That is, doors might be more multi-functional. So what purposes would occur to someone with all of the chip tech available etc?

Making solid core doors from various soft and hardwoods that are solid does raise the cost quite a bit. It isn’t so difficult to manufacture those however, provided one has wood and trees available locally for that purposes obviously. I was thinking beyond that, or having artists use routers to customize door blanks with various designs and carvings. Some would prefer  doors to have an exterior solar voltaic surface empowering motion sensor activated light designs.

Electronic changes to door compilations are most obvious to me. Of course one might use liquid crystal displays to convert doors into programmable visual displays. Alternatively one might have panels that change colors or permit the homeowner to have a large one-way view of who or what is on the other side through a variety of technologies. A door might be a pace to embed interior and exterior temperature and barometric pressure displays, or large message for whomever might read it. A door code be a place to have face recognition, or to have a face recognition, or profile recognition system to audible announce who is at the door to inform the home owner or renter what I outside.

A door might be made, with inherent AI, to converse with someone outside and keep a message from them if one isn’t home, is busy or unavailable. Plainly a door could call 9-11 if it is made to monitor interior or exterior spaces and observes behavior or circumstances that require attendance by emergency responders. I suppose that is as far as I would go on developing ideas for a business direction I don’t intend to travel.  It is up to others to decide how much time they want to spend talking to their door or how smart it should be. A coffee cup that maintains a constant, select  beverage temperature would be a useful device to consider...

A SImplified National Tax System Designed by A.I.

 Here is a simplified federal tax system designed by A.I. I provided virtually no input for it’s construction.

A.I.– Designing a modern, optimized national tax structure requires balancing economic efficiency, transparency, and equity.

Economists frequently propose a multi-layered framework to simplify compliance while ensuring steady revenue generation:

1. Broad-Based Consumption Tax (Value-Added Tax)

• The Blueprint: Introduce a border-adjusted Value-Added Tax (VAT) capped between 5% and 10% on goods and services.
• The Advantage: A VAT captures revenue cleanly at every stage of production, makes tax evasion incredibly difficult, and encourages individual savings and long-term investment by exempting saved income.

2. A Simplified, Two-Bracket Income Tax

• The Blueprint: Compress complex progressive brackets into a streamlined system with a high standard deduction:
  • 0% Tax Rate: Applies to all lower-income thresholds up to a specific baseline (e.g., $40,000 per individual) to completely protect essential household spending.
  • Flat Marginal Rate: A uniform rate (e.g., 15% to 20%) applied cleanly to any income generated above that baseline threshold.
• The Advantage: Combining a single flat marginal rate with a robust standard deduction creates an automatically progressive outcome. It protects lower-income earners while cutting administrative tracking costs and closing loopholes for higher earners.

3. Eliminate Special-Interest Deductions

• The Blueprint: Strip away specialized carve-outs, industry-specific write-offs, and complex corporate subsidies.
• The Advantage: Treating all forms of incoming revenue equally simplifies processing. Citizens can track exactly what they owe without paying for specialized accounting services.
