Awesome- thanks. Interesting.
Do you know more about it / is it interesting to you.
Want you talk more on it in a audio chat (if not now then maybe later?)
Happy with a bit more text but audio listening is a lot more "wow" didn't know that.

Is that something like "Kill our masters?"
Text inside picture says...
" Graduated in 2010, and for the past few years I've been teaching.
I was among the last batch of humans who will remember what the world was like before the internet.
Before cellphones, social media, and constant connectivity the complete reformatting of the human mind.
The average human's identity is now just as rooted in digital personas as it is in physical world.
In a realm where there is no action, only words, your words become your actions.
More and more the physical world seems to shrink, becoming beholden to things that do not exist. The future becomes enslaved to an eternally expanding record or anything and everything, the past now meaningfully indistinguishable from the present.
Every day I speak with kids who are incapable of conceptualizing a world without this. It colors their expectations for themselves and society, robs them of true interpersonal moments, limits their ability to think and feel.
Nothing really ends of disappears from them, and so value is impossible. Some things are preferable over others in the moment, but art, entertainment, culture, information itself is as disposable as oxygen. "
It is all just stimulation. "Content."
I love these kids. I can see their humanity in there, unsatisfied and starved for something they don't even know how to name. The ability to shut it all down, I think. They want to go back, too.
MY ADDED NOTE:
VERY GOOD LINES I'D QUOTE IN THERE, QUITE MOST- though the last line people have consciously exchanged sometimes and to be honest it was very boring or not as educational (as well as the crap)...
SOLUTION?
We perhaps have to really PICK and choose everything though some things like the picture says is by creation or default not able to not do things as it was created that way (newer tech can't undo as easy so forced into using the rest of the bad things too and this is violence to an extent- under "structural violence" by cornering people technologically for control and manipulation means, for profit and prostituting them silently or against their will holding an ultimatum or binary "use or don't use" as it's means of coercion). And that's if you aware.
@amerika You're going for the wrong thing by using Google,
Always more speed or more capacity etc but with the baddie$ and it's built upon badness AND it's always cheapening things by pushing it as search on your site.
So "The Answer" is don't ask me -
Offline Office I can give you but Google search as online massive of thing for what you have I can't entertain as you're not willing.
Realism is weak people like you.
And I'm not in the habit of following willingly weak people who claim not to like it.
@amerika
"Yeah I don't like Google, but they did a better job than any other search engine." ?
What is it with people honestly !!!
^^/
SELL OUT OR WHAT !
(OR WHATEVER TERM please help me define the weakness here!)
BUT because I like your hone$ty and anyway close to unfollowing such stiff, I'll give you some tips as graceful as I am:
Err... let's see- you're using Wordpress right?
Cough... it HAS IT'S OWN search already with it (^_^)
NO NEED to change your search that comes with it to Googligoop ! :/
Are you managing it?
[get me the manager lol]
[let me work on it]
You're using something you don't want to use and you have what you need.
I'm sure I'm missing something [of course] though for life of me not many tell me WTF it is...
People who don't want / like Google just give in to it's global all-encompassing harvesting skill when they don't want it
:)
Your 1 and half chance to redeem yourself here...
Ok allow me a blowout on this one and do feel free to send me the further excuses so we can eliminate your kind from the planet! :>
Perhaps it doesn't do super-fly stuff (and increase how you principles go out the window in exchange for your shit?)
Please let me be wrong or give me access to Wordpress via DM and publicly you have my promise I'll not intentionally mess it up within 20mins. Or just do a fresh install with any wordpress
lol.
Signup often means "become a member of [whatever.com]"
Signup may sound less harmful or less a big step than "Become a member"
So remember that as a Member in anything you are under those rules (capitalised 'Member' is different to 'member' also).
So if you sign up to American company you under that House's of Rules (including law over-looking all those rules).
Do be careful Neo.. America is very aggressive.
We could do with reducing the
'signup' (which is also an military-type term) and reduce support for aggressive people
(even if that would include reducing our own usage)
Words can be like throwing spears or target practice
What fun! :)
Even some sparring in a competitive boxing match can be good. In and out, not always too long. Take what you can.
Getting people's reasoning is obviously excellent source of... education.. reality... entertainment perhaps but overall healthy refinement and training thoughts
( if that's your direction or what you aim for... )
Towards healthier people and healthier mindset by training it.

Money laundering 101-
How to legalise criminal operations? Launder your money and pay tax!
- Video clip says it all in Breaking Bad [TV Series]
A great scene and conversation
...not far from real life!
"so you want me to buy this place so I can pay taxes??... I'm a criminal yo"
"yeah and if you wanna to stay a criminal, and not become say a convict, then maybe you can grow up and listen to your lawyer"
More info... Saul Goodman teaches Jesse Pinkman how to launder his money with a nail salon. From Season 9, Episode 3 'Kafkaesque'.

@barefootstache
If it's that close to thinking about it so much and if you might make a mistake anyway (like even after timer rings) then it's probably not worth it or still prone to human error.
For sure I know am counting how much more we write about it from now! Better / more measurable topics await us :]
@amerika
Oh my, your site search uses Google - how poor and needs me to consent to their T's & C's.
I thought you were a bit more enlightened :/ :)
I thought it loaded fast too - maybe a bit too fast!
Thanks anyway amerika - let me know if you ever get your own search for your own site without bad goggles.
Not really down with that. Obviously my own thing and principles. [Affinity with user decreases by 3 from 10]
@amerika
First hashtag has only 4 posts, some in foreign language font
AND
Do you see anything under that 2nd hashtag? (I don't)
? aM i mISSIng SoMeThiNG hERe With YoUR LiNKs ?
@barefootstache
In my experience a girl / lady would anyway have such things in mind... and man just enforced or exploited their nature... and that I feel that is also part of nature as man somewhat... but sticking to topic much like a flower or something that needs to give birth needs to attract a pollinator or mate (or male) then one acts or is accordingly (as well as feeling the biological urge to reproduce or take care of another, or have a man do the defending work).
So while there is patriarchy and everything anyway everywhere, you might find girls / females playing with more female things and role-playing female things anyway according to reproduction or finding a mate (fairytales / finding a prince / caring for kids / taking care of the house / cooking / cleaning) all because they also want to (and not limited to that) and have natural affinity towards what they do. You couldn't stop them same as it's hard to stop yourself working your other muscles!
Maybe I have veered off topic or it's more different with everyone nowadays but I believe / have seen consistently and ask... so I'll accept limited defeat here saying some things (such as your self) are much less inescapable or without major work if you would decide to change.
@Cleisthenes
I would guess he's quite speechless.

@amerika
Ok. You could expand on why diversity (to various non-extreme or even incrementing levels) would end badly as you say as it's not clear.
And more about care.
Either way and for both it will end up with educating ourselves and pain like re-growing another arm or emotionally-aware leg so if badly means this kind of pain and just difference to the half-comfy now then I agree and encourage more awareness because we're not going to get away from being different or needing to respect individuals and help find them better things to do while serving / be happy to serve others.
If get a short reply here then forgive me if I step out of writing details for you. Writing does help me find more reason - and without sounding grieved by your quick response which I also value at the same time hehe!
Just makes sense to say a bit more (if you want...) else no worries I'll assume I'm right for my own reasons and not consider anything from much more from not having much reasoning to compare to :)
@amerika
That may seem being paradoxical, as you say, but actually it makes sense running that idea through the lens of 'Running down the planet' and accepting 'it will run out' so better make it more happier / nature based' all the while...
Inside the above you can see increasing diversity is like
- not restricting or having choke-holds on people
- making more options for people to fit in using what we already have inside as something added to current life (currently cut out a lot) making it a more sustainable in that way and diverse or just not so mono-culture!
Remember he's talk as a dictator so diversity can also mean just less Dictatorship in this kibnd of context.
As an aside... I feel and think we are more than STEM values us even he specialists. The main ways people look unto others (for profit, tech leverage, product making etc) is just not right and leads to the same circular problems. Of which I witness in project breakdowns!
Care for others and nature.
Care for others and nature currently doesn't pay but it could in theory (same as we pay people to 'just follow' orders or incentives to be mono-culture without room for question or direction towards 'happiness' in mind as company (or even happiness as government goal the same as it has 'profit and taxation' always on it's mind!).
I wouldn't choose care as something to pay for or apply to like this as 'capital' but does show what structurally it is enforced (structural violence / lack of diversity and options.
Will write more elsewhere, sorry for the aside.
@barefootstache
a) would have to buy timer
b) gotz no moniez / don't support money in general
c) another device for a cooking device,
Make sense as tool but cooking is also an analog and atmospheric thing - one likes to enjoy cook and doesn't know always when it's ready for x time
BUT against the above I do notice these counters my own points above that:
a) I put mobile alarm for warning me "it's still cooking / check it" for anything long / big (else I put it on low)
b) Old mobiles good for using as timers
AND
overall cooking a lot of food at once and having it prepared for days avoids needing to cook every day and even timers :)
Save energy / Save planet / Be lazy? / cook for a few days as the answer maybe :)
It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
