I guess that can be generally measured as what to all the component parts to that definition of what being value means but within that also there are various levels and individual ratings to each of those categories or labels, like how someone can more positive or not or value this category or being valued more than that category... which is why some bosses don't care to define it or do it with the people as they go along (as the people are the driving force sometimes, not a system). But then they create a system....
lol my brain just hard reset over that paradox... !!
Any system will find a big problem after time when it comes to humans and valuing things by 1 standard if it misses out many of the other attributes or values held but those people.
Maybe there is a cut off point but if a system fails to value those attributes which in the end are not measured, and then human-attributed values and preferences are not counted for, then you could say the game of measuring everything is more often not measured than is (we could make a list of all attributes and subtract what is measured).
This probably ties in with life too as 1 continue thing and not just work (which largely doesn't care and we'd hesitate and question why they did care also).
How people feel, where they are going, their hopes, what happened, who is the biggest arsehole of the bosses to manage or move on somehow because they force down everyone else to do the bad work for them etc.
If it consistently fails to value or measure attributes important for humans or humans-attributed value from a persons perspective and preferences then discontent and other problems definitely occur (in that measurement or displaced in everything else as social problems etc).
Not paid to care, that's the shortest way perhaps to write it.
What this means is instead of being easy going, we force things into being measured only in certain ways and numbers and don't care if people are happy about it or not or it wouldn't be a numerical thing.
Being happy it's not a supported measurement more than kicking people out or marking their card if they complain the business barely keeping them alive is not fair.
Happiness opens a big topic but it can be seen as simply 'are you happy about x or not?' and honestly taking answers and making life around that someone... (bending the tree of life back this way)
Happiness is also about things related to things like physically being able or not, or motivated or not (everybody has a different body type or thought-process and seems un-fair to assume standards are ok more than expect everyone to be different and not considering it one big learning adventure instead).
Apart from some basic *loose measurements* I think asking people constantly about happiness also gets use to similar places we try to feed people with instead of demanding or using financial system to force people to work.. only to eat, drop into a coma tired and wake up again.
So people work for places they *far* from like and don't agree with so maybe this could be a project.
MY NOTE: COMPLAINTS PROJECT
But that's the game of force even though my ideal comes from more the individual side.
It is possible to ask people to try things and even filling in the slots themselves... but the anyway the expectation for perfect constant motivation like a machine to do things and work for someone else or non-nature based work (travelling to the concert plastered city).... is far-fetched and also too much in itself to expect and the wrong way to do things.
We could find better things to pay ourselves for in better areas of city or places in the countryside. But I guess people won't let us... This post maybe tried to say what is quite obvious but I'm not too sure if people see it (I'm sure they feel it but not see it written much or others looking to do something about it like make a complaints system about everything!).
It's not because good ideas were not good enough that they didn't get implemented....
STEM gets blocked consistently (regulated) and while that can have a few good reason, most of it is for bad / controlling / monopolistic aspects..., else hijacked, patented out of reach from people, whatever... oh yeah monetised etc...
Even if there is 1 or 2 good reasons the other 10 reasons and way it's used is bad / self-serving to those above (do you trust the I don't !).
Perhaps like everything it's main gate to why STEM even exists.
My condolences if you just realise you're up again everyone else (Lord Voldermort type people / Big Bad Bosses, Legal Gangster etc)
Newbies often have their hopes and dreams in all sectors, doing things even for free, then when they get there they realise, "oh it's not just about effort, dreams, fairness" it's about raw extraction / devaluation of people.

Do we want more people here on Mastodon all together cluttering things when there is no progression path or training for them?
Possibly no from me (but the question is more detailed then that so read on before anything)
So while I don't mind new users at all, the dynamic game is also about existing people; the already wise and clever but still perhaps not quite there themselves... and if they just treat this as a clever side things using less-corporate mediums then it's still not really enough of a change in my mind for ant movements to keep ticking over. (moving profile to better space is good but also waiting for it to go down from mass or one reason or another is always also on the horizon). So it's really limited having more people here and not being able to do much any better and that's what I personally want . developing now we have the tech side and need the people believing in themselves and others a lot more.
****************
Above is short version
Below is over-written but I'll chop it down a bit later
****************
It could risk this place also having more people like the latest thing that gets found out and goes away / templated out of meaning.
I rate the overrun factor of commercial interest more stronger than us doing what we have free right now so if we are not to play better games every day here and even step things up now we also might not have safer space or people that can re-create this again).
I would say we might find ourselves *wanting* for an ideal as a larger number but really what we want is quality avenues and movement paths.
With more numbers we might realise "what to do with them now they are here but acting like they are over there still?"...
which naturally is like "well, let them do whatever" but as the shit-shows go on, no not really over here please (sometimes it takes for shit-shows to come here for people to realise what we should be have doing all along, so I'm saying why wait for that?!).
As I see it it's also like this culture pool of people now, small / medium, 1000's of manageable responsive, clever, articulate people (of just a % from those that are responsive and want to entertain testing more things) but if you can't get those existing clever people to practice themselves and changing their mind using regular pub-style meetings then that's the acid test answer (i.e. we're not good enough right now to scale anything, the stock culture bacteria isn't strong enough to go seed / spawn anything).
Some might settle for something slightly better twitter, fb, insta and leave it there but I think you really have to entertain letting people work on finishing these quests to reduce their power while it's still small compared to where they will be in 1 year and the next.
The main point (if you are looking for freedom or not) is not just to have numbers but quality and methodology moving forward.
Give me the people and I'll show you these tests which are also about asking them... if people want to see change.
Many is seems have regular positions, enough wealth, regular comfort, good ethics ... and so see if people can do something for them / with them without too much mess... else more of the average stock person which doesn't have something setup for them isn't going to get much further and might quit Mastodon (yeah I believe we could pave the roads and help grow better people and not just accept twitter refugees as stock which is just going to grow more average people or need lots of time before they really get whats happening and being done about it).
Really out of 1000's then I think we better attempt more things before we really do get what we wish for and crumble under the weight!
If people are conscious or not... at some point that is the point I mean with the question. Sure let people hop on but also make paths and avenues for people to get together and facilitate that as branches.
While a little more conscious moving / talking I think the main game after moving here can be better... and the headz here can help make a better game from these shoulders we're on (thanks for sure to those before us).
But we gotta cut our snakes off a bit more. Really allow each other to do more in many more ways.
Can sounds ungrateful but it's natural to finish or unite the chain of things. I do check myself regularly so holding back can be good yes! But no activity / only experts busy = bad.
Basically if we can't do it with this small group of pool as a sample then the probability is just going to be fairly not much more even with more people.
The aim is not only to get people on Mastodon (I hope) but to let our own things fly.... even with clever / nice people bashing is nicely (at least it's not the mob) I think that works still.
Whatever you believe in at the end anyway it ties down to similar centralised/decentralised stuff and I think games / activity can be at various levels (from vocabb sessions to more in-depth stuff for example). That's the basic steps I see with Mastodon as platform right now with all respects due to existing effort perhaps more isolated.
****************
Very much over-written but I'll chop it down a bit
****************
@johnabs Yep - just the whole mentality I'd say and how people accept things too easily things and assume things are ok is quite alienating.
While it's survival based it ignore the problem and goes to feed problems that barely will keep them alive anyway.
So the alienating part is that they (parents let's say) forget to keep attacking what is the problem clearly and what they themselves feel or mention, and so without shaping things themselves I think in that way the whole 'culture' or biology is alien to me.
How to relate to the mindless follower?
Somewhere else geographically is much better perhaps like going back in time to a different snapshot point, but if culture / lang etc is going to be soon there too and make things similar it means if you don't do something to defend you know is coming and even people might want it not knowing what it's like once it's there (Thailand for example 10years changed/impacted) then things soon can wear off... which is why overall there is a battle to be won / undone for me as the templates are taking over hard / converting people and whole cultures gone / mono-tised / mono-cultured.
Moving around perhaps better like working at farms etc... couchsurfing even 1 country at a time and keep hitting the things you want to do / fix else the steralised boxed-in culture is the template.
That's what I account for in the alienation. For me parents and peers and just about everyone (including a few kind STEM folks) just didn't get it in how they are doing things and how long that will last. They also gave up on people.
Imagine a line of people walking off the edge but not seeing the edge or going for technology as the answer. It's just the falling off a cliff or dropping like flies.
People have no concept of what isn't ok... (and yes ok it's based on defective survival so it's very convincing until you believe/realise "damn" those ways are actually stronger and more efficient at killing things than what good that is left over or the toys given are shortlived). No Buenos.
I think it's really clear and just now in good youtube videos it confirms a lot more clearly what basically a few principle or lines of logic should already be set or sen in people's head I.E. THIS WAY IS NOT WORKING (but can get overridden by something else in the very next moment.
From whatever end of the nature disappearing or measured sense logic disappearing or God-given, self-logic you have, whatever, how can people not have the principles to make sense.
I guess I conclude it doesn't make sense (it just makes money)
And that is like 2 different species of human if people didn't get it already.
WATER OR INTERNET?
- which will you prefer?
The Data stream vs. The Water Stream
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Xo7V4PPHijs
Other people are making the choice for you to make data available everywhere so if you use data then it's that time again to re-evaluate just before they steal the water for you.
Remote / cloud storage services are not working out well in many ways.
Reduce your demand and the data footprint is accordingly reduced and not in your name / not your fault.
THIS THE DIRECT CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE = THE WATER YOU WANT TO DRINK.
30% of data centers in USA are taking 10% of water in some places and that's surely going to increase and cascade more problems.... and suddenly make water scarcity for residents... which then grows and make people pay more of course. Another way of a business from a knock-on effect or domino problem. Make more money off water.
Google of all people are asking for more and more water, converting it into profits. Probably for shitty videos we all have copies of (I'm reconsidering keeping them)
using less = less demand and so less other problems
This is the ultimate technological ultimatum / crossing point.
You must consciously choose internet or water (and not when it runs out either).
It's similar to those pictures of someone charging their mobile by unplugging the hospital machine that is next to them that helps them live. You can't cheat yourself or others like that.
MAKE A TARGET DATA FOOTPRINT
For example I've been reducing my life to 1 disk (1TB) and a few Gb's online storage... + 1 backup of all that (which isn't online and manually backed up)
I knew for a while I can lose data so I manually do it and it may be a couple of months back in time... whatever... who is going to miss that?
Totally sucking or occupying data while alive is what I see even clever good people doing.
You will eventually have to make the choice - DATA ONLINE OR WATER?
The term 'UP and DOWN STREAM ' is ironically related to water.
Data stream vs. Waters Stream
Those I already spoke to about it, you know who you are. You can't get away / cheat the system of nature.
You have all have chance to reduce / delete / make audio only from videos. Or just delete your 1080p version outright (each scaled copies for peertube etc are horrendous - delete copies).
I don't really want to point to people. Reduce data - and if you think you can't let me know.
If you have some cases you think it works also let's chat as I'm sure there is a right balance and we all need external polite review to 'let go' nicely or stand our logical ground to what we think 'might be useful' later.
For example put in 1 place if you see many copies of same thing, run some programs.
@bhaugen Organizing is somewhat easy compared to what I think is important but over-looked: the disruption by others who wish to undo it.
Designs need to factor in other people's actions who are against our designs.
This is what needs equal thought in the actual design itself!
This makes sure it's not just a one-time protest or statement, and more of a live / less static continual way of living and taking up of positions which change and need rolling.
In other words:
It's not because good ideas we're not good enough that that didn't get implemented.
(There were also other forces / weights waiting to be triggered and people almost asked for it by doing so).
And in this way "Failing to plan is planning to fail"
Without planning the "what to do after that happens" and even "stepping it up", then the chess pieces stay quite static / demotivate / get lost without actually reaching another objective or continuing movement... (either in the mind or outside of it).
Permit me to expand on it and practice a bit of writing. I'm still reading what you wrote so consider this ignorant about that for a bit until I read it.
-----
Above was the short version
Below in more detail / optional
-----
So after a while of repetition (protests / inventions that broke the back of hard work or helped feed the world like fertilizers / cures / power to relieve suffering ) you have to realise what you're constantly seeing in the world.
And if we are not factored in that properly then what is it.... hope... even throw away hope since we no they are or want to adopt solving suffering?
The 'do good' people naively don't put that into the equation or expect somehow for them to turn around 180. We seriously have to do it ourselves... 1 + 1 +1 +1 until we get there...
If we prepare next moves or don't expect bullies then the chain of building breaks this incremental approach (and they close the gap / loophole we found, and in legal terms this is what lawyers found when their own system fails them / always wasn't interested in changing themselves)
I think people might even say they expect it but just accept end of game and that's it. This is a bad end to effort.
So innocently or not I'm giving credit where it's do to other side.
There is active action against things once it's significant enough (if it's not a threat to change then design whatever you want I think they don't mind and even will use it).
In the case you make a perfect system, or clear alternative, then the more hi-jacked it's going to get, re-branded, raided, or just unproductive attention etc,
This is all somewhat proportionate and happens "all of a sudden" unless expected.
People will also use what you do to over-do it as their own solution making you look like the bad one. So expect that too!
Theoretically Good and Bd can happen, but perhaps we know consistently bad is the more pre-loaded as default start with control mechanisms embedded and attached to $urvival according to the non-paradise makers.
The non-understanding of others, constant leverage and confusing of other people... (many things) has convinced me.
I don't want to squash every idea but this thinking of the 'other elements' is really ranking it's priority and respecting much higher than the usual person who might not even consider it as boundary or limitation!
Oh yeah let's just do this and make a big company etc etc...
Shut downs, buy-outs, everything there for good story which is actually reality.
A lot of times, even if something works will be a short-lived if it's not cloaked a bit / not on show permanently. Nobody likes opposition in their face... do you?
You may even might find the 'perfect thing' tomorrow and think you should shout it out loud ...not seeing that more bad is going to accumulate as a result so it's tough to not let things free but with more chance for the bad well the road need planning a bit more.
Sad or not, it needs respecting.
The best good is more towards a complete overhaul if the mind as we do super small things.
Merging family or species so it's not just "taking care of my family" as my family is this general everyone here family or at least starting circle.
Actually if not really careful and literally not thinking of everything like that then things can get resprayed and under someone else's colours/banner as a kind of bad-resell or rebranding into product (if not for profit it will dismantled the next day) or labelled something bad by the bad system or a 100 of ways of dealing with any problem. They literally have a handbook (I think) and we should also need to print it and reverse it somehow!
So if we are oblivious to this side (without me sounding like I'm stunting imagination or good-natured thoughts) then this side of equation which involves fighting off those tactics and somewhat ruthless bastards (finance culture / 1's & 0's perspectives / etc) so they don't overwhelm us and again be short lived.
So it's naive for many good people to think it's only about collaboration, instead of the combat sports arena that they are currently inside.
You know about the profit 'system' I think, but for my own writing here I'll add the control rope is mostly survival based ties or security while roping in more and more people into more of these soft aggressive ways which is overall terrible (it leverages living life against itself rather than killing life against what it doesn't like as soldiers one did).
Also nobody likes to say it or admit it or it's hard even to fight about it, but that is somewhat inevitability in needing to do all those things. Near-0 experience is what people might have currently. So just a bit of verbal training helps.
Just right now we are easy pickings in that way and also not being able to even call the colour of money or power-orientated people what they are - this is also a problem if too polite and if you forget or too comfortable.
(yes people follow but they actually don't believe or realise the other abilities they have, measurably again with a bit of introduction and reciprocation).
We seem to need more thorny edges while still being able to softly give fruit to the right people picking (those ecologically minded / non-violent but also not just yes-men or only money-orientated etc)...
Overview / Summary of If's
- If we were allowed to let things grow even a bit longer then it would have already found it's way to grow and solve itself, the same way the opposite has grown and snowballed now but using more diverse and accepting positions.
Obviously like many man-made things there is a reason it went this way consistently as well as in some random order consistently- force was applied, and then on top it's resulted in why everything is concreted and steamrollered. "Sorry but it's just my job to kill / sterilize"
Almost as genuine as we are, the opposite way is also, they want to make things 0 in chance / not growing back / sterile 'clean' / weeds / grass eliminated / full control / less random). And that has to respected somewhat. It's got people hooked, eyes wide-open in some cases too.
It's not just ignorant I-don't-have-time-to-understand-life parents but people who go "all-in" (poker style gambling) and want to win big.
The common "but you have to" type phrases and others seem to quickly come out of people's mouth to make people pay more or charge other people even if they don't have to almost like a social gesture"
- If you found the holy grail system tomorrow then you would get the according focus the very next day, same some inventors have got before which is why I'd recommend not releasing it. And factoring that in before is wise as you have control- once it's out you don't.
SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?
As a quick answer or ideal (and not knowing the context of any reader) the answer must involve the fixing / improving of *mentality* from our own competition mindset to one of collaboration... with and without trying to change any unfriendly 'bastards' because they really know what they are doing. It's a chosen profession and feeds them, you would also be actively attracting their attention when trying to find more good people more silently should be the way.
My equation today means if it's not a threat to the system then it will continue, if it is risking change it will get A-Z of focus and one will break it (unless you have A-Z counters + will-power knowing odds more stack against and even reveling in that).
More precisely than some of the above the system = 'systematic pattern for growing people and their mentality' (or something like that) and that is what we need to work on. Probably mind first at then at same time working on land and ways of defence / hardening will if we accept there isn't much else as a way or it's according worth it. (for example if we think one day they or others will do it for us we could relax and not do much rest assured they might get bored and stop copying / infesting their ways).
So what I'm saying is instead of thinking *almost only* about 'good design' or perfect diagrams (which I'm loving to see), instead of the new efficient code or anything now in tech (that mostly they release)...
the main work is "how to do all these things while being attacked in a.b.c.... x,y,z way" without also telling them and sending advance text about it.
Happy to revise some of this / it might be revised...

**************************
Summary / paraphrased
**************************
All people are victims when using a Google Android phone
Identifiers all track you and can triangulate position (google knows where each one of it's phones are) by these methods and cross-referencing them:
APPS with privileges (big pain) + IMEI of phone + IP address + MAC address of WIFI / Network adapter + Location (EXIF in pics, GPS data etc) + Browser fingerprints + profile cookies (1 login in for all?) + nearby WIFI + Google ID / AppleID / CAPTCHAS to check you...
A lot of stuff a Linux OS will solve AND some habits it might train you out of.
So for example VPN is good but being logged into accounts or sharing just pings your location, or while watching videos might reveal things or just many things together reveal you
including Cross device tracking (not just 1 device - things connect and pair together things)
MAINLY or good start is de-googling you existing phone because Google Login or Apples AppleID or whatever are the head of snake for identifying you and making things provable (the rest, even if you click is less provable 100% but they are slowly getting here to be able to do things later using 100% evidence).
2FA needs a google app <--- hence even de-googled phone means you need to install app even if you have a Linux phone.
That is why they push for 2FA so badly.
[edited: I got a comment that 2FA does NOT need a google app but it's becoming pushed more which means they will get their way if they want it. There are allegedly plenty of self-hosted options or are included with password managers... so I don't know maybe it's not a matter of time and can be a minor point.

ANY MORE ADVICE ?

Android is the Google's operating system... for mobiles?... 0_0
'FREE' people and inventions also have a responsibility to see who is abusing it and basically make provisions / conditions / choose more carefully. Block them from weaponizing
Weaponizing* everything is very real today.
* Weaponizing = the putting of parts / components / code together (much like mechanical parts) and making a gun at the end from those innocent components - the end result of the chain is bad.
So what to do about it?
To start
- Don't under-estimate how well chains are put together or swap things in and out
- Imaging more 'efficient' can mean more destructive / faster at doing the bad / inhuman things. If it exist and work, no need x10 speed every year.
Even with 'Free' stuff / software / service / etc consider them as Free weapons and tools for people to plugin into their own mentality - so it's worth checking even if if you think something new is just great because it's 'new'... Keep a lid on it if really it has 10% good use and x10 bad.
Ask: IS IT WORTH GIVING TO IDIOTS?
Asl: COULD I USE IT FOR NON-FREE WAYS EASILY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OR GOOD-WILL OF FREE-SOFT OR FREEDOM.
Sound$ extreme but it's just like giving part$ to people who you know just make algorithm and monetise people instantly with this years new thing. It's already happening. #AI etc... <--- I don't have list I admit and often I think 'everything is applied to'
Considering top 500 companies (enemies) run on free software and pay near-0 for it as side-insult and don't even care then I think there is ALWAYS a time in history to re-assess adding any more for them or specifically releasing things for us (not U$)
To use it for money should be stipulated conditionally NO or WITH PERMISSION ONLY THEN YOU CAN ALSO GIVE ME A CUT!
Not-for-profit also needs to skill-up and pre-defend things so we don't the shock face after- "oh guess what they did now- I don't believe it!".
Ok so far but from here consider all is just to make massive wrong in the wrong ways...

How to use a crazy-looking website?
or a website with too much info?
A simple tutorial...
If the website is giving too much data, lots of choice, etc ---> then it is for YOU also to think:
----> "Right too much info but what is it I want
-----> What do I like and can pick and choose
----> what are my own current projects and goals - can I match anything?
----> Can I do some tests / samples? Can I search keywords?
Find a way. It's in your power also.
***Even in the worst website****
(like freeschool.0id.org)
should be able to find your own direction or relativity and then get what you want and even learn more than you thought (like a book with a terrible cover!).
If you're not serious then you won't really get a serious answer.
Give it some time, keep the open a bit long and think about it.
I admit websites and interfaces vary and can be like being forced in something different but it can be like a personality (not the persons always as it's just technology) but with basic text and pictures words there you caan 'crack the code!' and they don't change that much considering most are similar just with different front end or colour scheme...
Overall I guess it's better to think why am I here, can I try a bit and then also contact them?
Also let someone guide you through their own 'house' or see it as history and even a bit of a relic to adventure
We can't assume standard lives or technology always! But the basic text and pictures are reassuringly there.
I write this because people seem to give up INSTANTLY on seeing lots of information (like what a website should do but too much... as well as summaries and super-short feel-good stuff)
If you met Einstein like I did (in my dreams) then you might see a messy desk as something actually positive and refreshing so you can expect smoething more interesting or even fireworks for thoughts instead of 'sterile mainstream' commercial version lacking any personality and playing it too safe.
Eintsein even used to keep a messy desk! (and not saying you can't change things once in a while).
For example on freeschool.0id.org/ you can also change view, like:
- list all posts
- category view
- random!
- picture slideshow view
- last 5 in each category

Make big companies PAY for FOSS that is not free for big companies!!! Lawyers UNITE!...
Business Opportunity for Free Software Lawyers:
- Get money from big companies
- Make liable existing people using FOSS without paying
- Rinse and repeat
Legally force companies using libraries without paying for FOSS... to pay!
WHY?
FOSS libraries used by big companies are now not paid for (near 0 more than paid).
Source code used by big companies are not paid for (near 0?).
Lawyers / FSF people -----> make them accountable
Money-maker for FOSS.
Ma$$ive companies use FOSS and don't pay... enforcing this and making sure they respect terms of download helps the cause out of it's paradox and systemic rape.
If they do not cheat, we will grow (and also not cheat ourselves).

A small ecological message to my fans - Give up your day job, it's measurably bad for you and others. That's if you can find one (some here have proven how hard it is so play another game at leat for a little while)
Find a database of farms and ecologic workers and go to work under many different places who already have places...
What's this playing 1000's rent stuff.. it's sick and such a waste / cornered market. Exit the modern sweat-shop.
I'd also help make an open version of farmers and places you can visit, already existing / growing:
Anyone with an account welcome to share their thoughts
Or to create an account and find out. Can see lots in your area already... (if you can't find let me know)
Travel... live... die on the grass
(not the concrete). At least make some compost when you do.
Collect your shit and go gamble your life at least for a little while... to find like-minded people... I'll be here every day if you need as long as I'm alive.
Save some savings and fuck off. Find a place that will feed you for you few hours work (economically in-house people are well-worth it... and rebuild the planet... People will soon realise how valuable you are if you able to do things for them.
Give up your day job.
Go help people and planet.

"peace through superior fire power"... ?
@kreyren This is where we get in a loop about war and weapons I think (it's probably me so here's a very basic view)
As you said if you "prefer peace through superior fire power" doesn't that mean your population is looped into working to pay others to build and sell to you? (maybe America which many don't want to deal with... and in $'s which compared to any other currency is probably weak and deiberately so/) ,,, so not just paying is my point
ad my point on top is you're not the one making it personally or as country (in theory you can't make it or is your country able?)
and then also the major manufacturers are also selling it to others *at the same time* thereby *creating* more of a competitive game no? Maybe you pay them to delay releasing it like a covid vaccine?
Looking at your sentence with peace adn superior fre power in the same sentence spells trouble for me. Actually negates effectiveness even if it partially or temporarily works and more just creates / perpetuates / escalates war in more readily puchased bombs and airplanes! I read you're previous posts before about why this model out-guns or out-manoeuvres another airplane model but still something about it doesn't just end there.
And then on top again more orders can be made with more toys and more buttons pressed and deployed, or trusting more people rather than some back-breaking way to solve the real problem which is proper peace and talking for hours... and even spending ALL THE MONEY in that... (if there is a will there is a way look at the tech we made and people might thinks we can't INVEST in more peaceful systems)
(probably all this doesn't work because the machine isn't the way - PEOPLE ARE... so despite all odds that's where we must head...)
but yeah maybe says a combination of how it works - I like your logic and things in some extreme do have some use like anything else
continuing the layers on top...
And then not to mention buying money (loans) from banks, increasing country debts (as we have) all needing to be paid back by the future children and becoming ENDLE$$ multipliers unless you can pay back before doubling etc. All fucking hard to do and even to ask future children to bear... could be better off not born than in war dying seriously - you s££ what has happened and happening all the time... did it every work more than just delay things and soften it out into spuermarket wars etc?
... (even if it's oil and territorial supermarket supply and demand stuff... whatever softer wars still are terrible and long term suffering and price increases ... backed up by these weapons I feel also)
Anyway
Lots of layers there in each paragraph above ^ while not assuming anything or that I have a solution it's more about what isn't the solution also! Not maximum fire-power I feel... "you might get us all blown up" is the feeling or that the tech could even be stolen / hi-jacked / precision bombed just to wa$te all of our money which a lot may have been and I assume is inescapable... seems after a limit it's just digging ourselves a hole for pockets, in earth and only for us to jump into it or into the cockpits. The complexity seems clear - or maybe bigger the better and scares everyone away until the new model jets and then sell the old to the 3rd world cheap?)
Unless you personally can make it (or your country can manage and has materials I don't see it) then it's in someone else's hands ("USA! USA! USA!") also not good in MANY WAYS.
It could be Just a big pile of $hit and then you have to buy the later from BIGTech style setup who then sell it to others (who might be a bigger country to you in currency power, geographic etc etc, and again more and more).
And then spreading this kind of paradox of peace and fire-power (which I can accept) only spreads to others you have different mindset s (if it was just you I could trust you but other people in the old mindset pushing button, na)
What makes you think it's a good idea manufacturing and loading up guns, air-power etc and then it not turning on you (for many more reasons like the internal cases) which seems even worse?
But even contained to general country vs. country wars it seems a bit like a high risk thing which deals with previously VERY $HADY people.
Which game are you playing here that ends well with superior fire-power ? Is it just about posturing and hoping your own people don't invade others?
(you have to admit much of this unless you're as dictator is way out of your hands + all your civilian money spent $9999999 or however many zeros + lots of double edges to your superior edged fire power kind of swords)
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:

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...!
