MY COMMENTS / RELATIVITY TO LIFE

I like this quote because it seems to say what I've always been saying or very much part of it... (not trying to claim anything it as mine or anything big)

Once we have a certain level of tech (and I'm not saying 0 tech) it *might* naturally move on to fixing people's perceptions. (This is a short way of saying it).

The mindset, a whole checklist of pre-assumptions, fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy#Examples_of_informal_fallacies, DisneyLand-like statements and sentiments carried on in adult life... to realise what holds up life actually and inaccurately (to say the least) and becomes more like predatory scamming or humans hunting other humans discretely (a little clearer for intention but still not killing directly and mostly stealing energy economically ) but I'm not going to go into that here much more!)

IS MASTODON ALL WE NEED?

More than Mastodon as the tech between humans and for humans or after we have such things talking to each other and able to exchange, harmonising perhaps is the evolution (as crap as that might sound and nobody wants to do that). that's literally the Mother Theresa or Gandhi thing visiting people 1 by 1 (peer-to-peer?) healing each other with knowledge how were are in multitudes of messes. A kind of undo 1-by-1 if you will.

But this is long-way round for most people let alone engineers who might prefer another 'system' and another project without seeing how projects can take a dive the very next day (much like people think it's a good idea to make a business or get married not to see why 50% crash hard)- still those people they might start building the next 'something else' tech orientated the very next day but actually everyone needs training out of these habits and even stopping to be Lemmings in their own field (as high up as it might be).

We don't need much more software engineering as such to focus on what we haven't been doing day (and night) and what hasn't been trained and paid for with as much vigor in Capitalism etc (things actually cut out in exchange for profit like listening, caring, emotional intelligence, zooming out)

I could call this 'human-engineering' or self-improvement / Anthropology / Socio-psychological dynamics or anything in realm of mentality and feelings rather than physical tech.

Seeing tech as mostly North America politically running things it has conquered, owns and runs from afar with it's own terms and conditions is also the base of thing.
Tons of data transfer and backups being use like it's nothing.

INCREASING AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE - IS IT POSSIBLE I ASK MYSELF?

The attitude of average people just suck (sorry for language) even in the nice or naive way.

So more than hate anything bigtech, literally people are what need realigning / reality brought to for front like a disk partitioning for humanity else it will stay maligned (knowingly or ignoringly). Not many people can claim they don't know, hear or see globalist type stuff so it is ignoring or not working on it.

And aside from a wall of text or longish presentation (which wasn't long for me as made sense) that length is inevitable with anything complex or worth solving. So we can make this fun as learning or whatever works for you as reading.

If anyone is not sure come try me out; text and audio welcome (not everyone offers this or makes time! I do!
What's the alternative?! More programming?)

SUMMARY
This video is a good representation of some of the basic important points of what we do and also what don't achieve with engineering efforts overall or need diluting with things like human debate / human interaction / self-teaching more often (just something more than racing ahead to create the next things that will be weaponised without the right mentality behind software or anything else plugged into 'other' plans).
Because if the plan was solving things, we really would have done it by now... It's the will that isn't there... so come show me different.

If I can write this better somehow in your view, just let me know.

For now, my thanks.
