It was a pleasure to visit Coopers Lane Primary School to talk about the Tube Mapper photography books & to check out the London Underground train that they have in their playground.
The 1975 D-Stock carriage was donated by TfL & installed by MaceGroup in 2016.

Systems don't care - can't care... Scaling is very dangerous in the end...
Systems don't care much...
................can't care much...
Scaling is dangerous... and almost nonexistent / neg benefit in the end...
Scaling makes things worse if not tak8ng care of smaller things and including human feelings with it in the equation...
MORE ON THAT.....
So any grand design or scaling without individualism embedded simply can't care and has but a limited subset of individual caring (which would be consent, customisation, more conversation etc for individuals, also together)...
...change needed (it seems) to the extent that any system would be more indivisualistic than a system... sort of proving my point that a system is by nature bad for individual needs and inherently non-human to detriment of all
Systems of focus may seem good at beginning (like we lived 10 years ago or even now) but still the bad or even worse is thete in the end more than actually anyone person or entity wanting to work out individuality individually and being a lot more accepting as a start!
Hard one... but I go for individual happiness and care as root to everything else happening "slowly but surely" and with less imoersonal big jumps... but it does need investment (like all things) and probably morals and acceptance needed with it which often perhaps people don't want!
No amount of official intervention will trump it's own authority...
No amount of official intervention will trump it's own authority.
(Most of the time it will rebrand it, give it's own excuses and resell it under a different name or different business model but essentially using similar mentality.) @gretathunberg
Think Globally. Act Individually.
Think Globally. Act Individually.
(Maybe 'Locally' but people ain't ready / need to choose themself to align as it's too much energy and conflict for little gain in my long experience)
MORE IS JUST BLAH BELOW...
So not waiting for "United" Nations, scientists or anyone elseare to go against the capitalist grain from which they exist from. YOU literally have to start from the beginning or do your own habit change or ' local action ' to get earn your own justice by how you do things.
No amount of official intervention will trump it's own authority.
Most of the time it will rebrand it, give it's own excuses and resell it under a different name.
Acting Individually means
□ use wash-rags instead of toilet paper
□ use a bucket for water catching (not letting water go down the sink / plug hole. □ Using bathwater by putting water in a buckets for cleanIng dishes and then rinsing with clean water.
All the small things decreases the consumption of water, bill$, demand, transport, pumps etc...
Small is more careful vs. Small is beautiful - E.F. Schumacher
Small is more careful
So 'Small is beautiful' yes but with more of a precise word like 'careful' it's a bit a bit more measurable.
So careful could be be better imagined as:
● portable / transportable
● scaled down
● practical
● individually manageable
● low consumption low hoarding
● hand assisted almost only
Overall need
Less ● people,
Less ● tools,
Less ● wrong can happen / more adjust-as-you go or "on-the-fly"
● Smaller mistakes
Less ●waste and ●risks a lot less.
Video is just a side note to the above perhaps:

Greed Trumps Need - Palmer Report
Their biggest mistake was choosing United Healthcare. They routinely deny coverage. That's how their CEO is able to receive a 65 million dollar salary. When I was insured by UHC I was forced to appeal 2-3 times per year. No other insurance company has caused me to appeal even once.

Truth is a process, not a property:
“The truth of an idea is not a stagnant property inherent in it. Truth *happens* to an idea. It *becomes* true, is *made* true by events. Its verity *is* in fact an event, a process, the process, namely, of its verifying itself, its veri-*fication*.”

In the early 20th century, while studying world mythology, Joseph Campbell discovered a pattern hidden in every story ever told and he called it �The Hero's Journey�. A truly inspirational film, FINDING JOE takes us on the ultimate hero's journey: the journey of self discovery. As you slay dragons and uncover treasures, you just may find that the holy grail you seek is closer than you think.
If you've seen this film then you know how much of an impact it could make in the world!
A message from the Producer:
"If you haven't seen it then you are in for a treat! This is hope, courage and love all wrapped up in an 80 minute burrito of inspiration. I promise who ever you share this with thank you. Please share this with as many people as you can... the world needs this message now! With Maximum Love ~ Patrick Takaya Solomon"

they don't really care & people are taken for a HUGE ride...
@onrust
Bit of a rant but PRICELESS points if not aware already about caring or good-to-do workers...
Interesting initial comment was part of this... because even if it what was said is slightly +/- I think the base reality is still really true which is
● evident in core roots such as banks or caring... Is it there for example?
I. E . they don't really care and we help proprietary profit/banks as the similar domino effect or 'waterfalls' down to others come from that (or don't)
● habits and force are forced to be replicated from creation of debt and structure of life 'quite a lot' ... (not sure if people see how powerful it is and we dupe kids / adults instead of trying to come out of it).
● AND the good people or caring people *don't recognise* when they are being taken for a huge ride... they thing yhey are operating under pure heaven or something and just complain is an ok normal by them... They are actually ALSO JUST AS IRRESPONSIBLE. This add fuel on fire(s) and all that STEMS from banks (small joke because I'm on a STEM community that might have 0 yo say about money sometimes).
People are ABSOLUTELY THINKING hospitals are for caring more than
●massive vacuums hoovering up money and indirectly killing energy of people or killing by only serving in this proprietary way... and also because there is a different sign out in front of this shop people don't see isn't no different to the matrix template (probably much.much worse that many other things)
So if I'm right- all is for profit *much more* above anything else
(or even *only* for those that? .....no... surely not... caring is at least 10th on list right? Mneh...
●You ask those high up (if you can catch them) or the 'underwriters' (whoever or whatever they are)... ¿underwriters¿ = banks again?
■Would a hospital exist I ask myself if it were not those high up who keep paying themselves ??? ???
You see the homeless people outside right. Do they care? Protesters not rob of there heat outside or some bills hit excuses made?
and 'lack of shelters'... is it not deliberate or bare minimum and also to get people to jump into 'system'?
Would any states really care about you ??? ??? Do they now more then name and number and tax id to take and spend badly in your name?
●So best is if ☆EVERY PERSON☆ CONSIDERS IF THEY ARE NOT INSUDE THAT AND IF THEIR 'JOB' ISN'T INSIDE THIS DELIBERATELY DIFFICULT LEVEL OF MATRIX NOT WORTH IT AT THE END SINCE BEGINNING WAS UNCARING.
^------------ NO NEED READ MORE- JUST ASK YOURSELF THAT ABOVE ----------------------------------
Is caring a close 2nd place to a cold systematic pattern and is it realky practiced at all.. (remember industrial conveyor belt work setups are not really care it could be any object you 'move on' in the system without care for what others are doing and having 0 influence or impact on moving people like packages or arbitrary packages).
●is it not just money as 1st to 100th importance...and then caring only as 1000th in design and when it's too late / bottom of the barrel already by those clueless and just grinded up like FOSS (unless they identify banks as root virus etc and increment A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM / WAY OF THINKING THAT INVOLVES.. LOVE OR CARE AS TANGEBLY MUCH AS MONEY AND TIME EMPTIED ELSEWHERE ) ?
NOT EASY but will enough *will* time invested I believe we as individuals or FOSS or the moss can pull back and really love (care for people) even with a bit of money.
I'm testiment that not everyone wants to learn or invest time in that but it is getting better with #NVC ETC...
( If not sure how to reply, try some of the yes / no answers with ● before each main point - easy it may not be but is worth life to consider / reconsider ! )
Justice is Local & Remote Justice...
Justice is Local & Remote...
●Local Action
●Remote Considerations/Actions...
- Always a mix.
- We are responsible locally and remotely
(to all others)
- What you don't do locally or work towards for others far away, is being less responsible or completely 'irresponsible' in an overall human sense (to the whole species).
It's never been just about only yourself and always been mixed of [you]+[I]+[planet]
●you and I
●planet
BUT also now more than ever we are connected and there is a Domino Effect even by using computers and less using what people think... less upgrading the older miindsets in people and more just 'users'.
Still the 'people work' and 'evolution in mind' is what needs rewarding / increment more often no matter which tech or way we use.
Talking about this constantly as part of every day and week helps upgrade *people*. All the games have changed or expanded (especially from what parents knew or taught us as 'correct' or 'concrete' on some quite sketchy grounds now.
So now is the time to learn..
(ask me anything). And just make best we can with what game-makers/authority have decided more and more to trap us in.. and not love / care our way out of..
"You" as in you (plural) or story narrative (3rd party style)...
@neil
"You" as in you (plural) or talking like from a story narrative (3rd party style / above the story perspective)
Though "one" does help a lot and explaining which you you mean ocassionally (singular / individual or % mix even to that person AND generally others) but anyway good to say it from you perspective like "in my experience people are like..." xyz :)
●also as listener asking which one the speaker means helps give them chance to explain in more detail and gradients. Perhaps best in person, because in text can open too much scope or meaning...
●In law "you" or similar I think has 2000+ meanings (there is a book for each word I saw in some video somewhere but you (neil) maybe know better) :)
Money, Monero... We know Banks 100% don't work for us in power struggles - work is better on other things / using other people...
@nosat
●Love the graphic
●Technically a good advantage / retro-computer-friendly
I'm not into all this BUT alternative money is important...
●more compatible and more safe = better / more worth the tradeoffs that are reduces the debt based bank monopoly control which = DEATH / DEBT so if you accept that you can consider other ways are better in certain degrees and GETTING BETTER. (Can't continue with banks 100% can't work/ are evil and uncaring / are in manipulation and too much power in their hands / fund wars etc).
Mathematically countries know they siphon human energy using 'money' and banks. That's why countries copy more advanced English banking system (your county invented almost 0 of it!!)
Those that like money but not #Monero concepts can jump off a cliff (or get pushed off by banks who 'work' to sell more loans using money in YOUR bank account almost for free! Power and politics in money needs sorting... and working on... not just magic all-in-1 solutions or expecting 0-energy systems)
When computer stores / supermarkets (often opposite each other) are just rotating offers in order to increase total sales...
@fuxoft Well the answer is that I'm more tempted to buy it now I heard about it! (Joking but has some truth)
If you go to supermarkets they often do this against themselves or other products (making things look crazy in price so you go to Lidl not Albert). Lots of ways to make contrast bigger but imagine even at the end even, with 2 seperate products that both are owned by same parent company!! O_O
Also when younger I realised computer stores (that were opposite each other in the mall) were just rotating offers in order to increase total sales between them.
Hmm.
Pardon the lecture but it's good and even enjoyable to see these things even in the profit mindest spectrum :)
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!).

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...!
