The preference of money quite rightly has reasons (in the wrong way if you scratch the surface)
because:
- doing it yourself is harder / needs more learning / space / time / needs willpower and like babies we might cry at the first hurdle
- asking others involves lowering pride /' accepting need (the other ways mask this a bit more / create distance)
- asking others involves their politics and yours and that's a headache unless you think you're good at arguing and not losing it
- pre-approved ways / government authorised makes it easier for people to by no matter the back story on how government got this approval (by force / faux-legal means / subsidy)
- People are already paying more for things and even paying multiple times, but then are happy to get things 'cheaper' on a shelf
- Long distance resources and people damage are a lot easier to hide when further away then your own country
- Countries or people designing for it don't want people to DIY but earn money and tax them
Lots of genuine reasons why money, both people-related reasons and financial... almost always both... which catches up if you imagine accumilation in what we don't personally practice (planting at bit) or leave personally to others (using petroleum to manage distribution network growing false security or that based on Saudia Arabia oil or wherever, some connected to the dollar, just more bad extensions)
I don't claim we can do it all but anyway together we need to do it all else be divided / flanked

Dead laptop... any ideas / things to try?...
#Help I have a dead T61 I think - small story below
Story / Problem -
Was doing some video converting and DVD compression (I know on a laptop stupid AND it was hot inside) and the laptop if I remember
- video/screen went off and I left it on hoping it would come back (this could have made things worse)
I powered off and then after letting cool powered on and after 30mins or so same thing, and then same thing but 10mins it lasted.... then on trying to boot again (about the 3rd time after problems) it wouldn't boot.
Now no long switches on (no bios / no fan spin nothing)
BUT I DID NOTICE that plugging in the power supply shows the light next to usb's (on right side)
So a light on the right side (which you have to look from the side to see coming on) comes on when connecting power saying to me motherboard can receive power (for whatever than light is that comes on for a second during power plugged in)
I guess I am thinking Maslow's hierarchy, but in parallel.
People need food, shelter, safety, and reproduction... but they also need a sense of purpose to life.
That can be materialistic in the sense of physical world only, but it has to also be idealistic, reaching for transcendental goods like beauty, truth, excellence, goodness, and harmony.
When that is achieved, then the metaphysical starts to make sense...
I think it's often a mistake to comment on some of these terms deep enough (whatever the context is in your discussion). and that you and I or even for others to comment on is a mistake without considering this, so we could all more safely ask and explore rather than assume absolutes in opinions. AND THEN then realise if someone really has a deeper understanding, to go deeper when that is more safely understood.
A bit of speculation is ok but not to assume anywhere near all-in on first comments.
WHY THIS POST?
I say this because often everyone is so average or below some level that it really make sense to ask and explore, going for incrementing your own view or building blocks rather than trying to match it with somebody else's.
or
Perhaps I could say a few others ways- 2 more below (let me know which of these 3 ways you prefer)
Keep to your own 1st hand experiences and increment your own building blocks rather than expect others to confirm and do it at the same time.
or
First things first with the asking and exploring, taking away what you can, and then partying with those like-minded.
What should an ideal boss be like?
"Certainly an expert, but to a certain degree he should understand human weaknesses. If you forget to be human, people become machines with the characteristics of machines. This shows up in communication."

How to transfer Expert knowledge?...
Some Tips...
- Be Easy going in talking.
- Prepare better analogies / parallels.
- Don't use extremes in comparisons,
- Use Better vocabulary.
- Are the people interested? Are you talking to a wall or a pole after 1st minute??
- Are they overloaded? How is your the speed according to them? (Ask / get feedback after)
Lessons in Life... At first glance, loans from finance companies appear inexpensive...
At first glance, loans from finance companies appear inexpensive – you make ten instalment payments and pay only an additional 10%. But that one tenth, converted to annual interest, is no longer just one tenth.
When you add on fees for closing the contract, for maintaining the loan, or for statements, your annual interest rate can exceed 30%.
Alternative "Moral of the story":
At first glance everything can look good or bad. Really knowing people or the numbers takes homework and sometimes continual conversation.
If I was not trying to be a FreeSchool or any Freedom-type of school then more people might see me as normal / more accessible according to them... but then this is also a reflection of them and letting such 'branding' get in the way of really seeing points they could pic themself for their own kind of manifesto or points to aim for.
(I have to review this myself from time to time also so don't worry if you don't have a manifesto type list yet... and here be my guest and copy some lines of mine!)
http://freeschool.0id.org/manifesto/
Being a member means you can be shut down...
At the same time as signing up / being member you also run the constant risk of being shut down or having rules suddenly change
which is what we're increasingly seeing being a member or anything online.... buy-outs, sudden changes, flip-flops, shell games....* In the end * things get shut down after a honeymoon period of the internet etc.
I advise you shut things down because then you leave the OPPORTUNISTIC sudden inconvenience when they catch you out at the worst time possible (in the middle of doing something else) and then you will be forced to sign up to that new deal or 'verify' yourself but this time even more... (no complaints - shut it all off before they do).
Side-topic: Gag orders...
Any company is also a membership scheme and therefore has got similar pressures and stresses from government will-power or since EVERY company already agreed when signing to be a company in the first place to follow many pages of rules as pre-set matrices hard to parse stuff until it's being used against you.

Many-sidedness or not 1 sidedness...
In some ways it is.
In some ways it is not.
In some ways it is and it is not.
In some ways it is and it is indiscernible.
In some ways it is not and it is indiscernible.
In some ways it is and is not and it is indiscernible.

Healthy society (list of things I think healthy)....
Healthy society can:
- use people that have FREE TIME (EVERY DAY) over the internet
- talk to people freely
- mutually finding more freedom or talk about it (constant purification)
- can match the yin-yang people / optimise relationships (even in the unobvious ways, opposite polarity can work)
IMPORTANT NON-STEM STUFF
WILL-POWER + IMAGINATION
How I measure YOUR imagination or SOCIETY'S IMAGINATION (which includes you) is the will-power to try the awkward / weird / strange way which is basically people themself since you and other may be unfamiliar to meeting new people or working with them on their personal shit (so with less money as the excuse I'm talking about getting together and find affinity without being taxed in the middle / per hour!)
Talking with people is free/very cheap/accessible using Jitsi or Matrix and freeing though you may prefer numbers, code etc (try any chatroom like https://meet.jit.si/chataboutfuture)
SUMMARY
That is the acid test for any future togetherness and any bad stuff is your fault if you can't do / start the talking with less money/authority/job/gov given ways (even if you have to feed family, you have to imagine it's NOT really feeding them much more than debt over time and still we need to increase what increments better than some other things).
Feel free to say more and do represent yourself well / be better in these way - as not many others will do that for you - I will try help but also without giving opportunity to each other we are stuck / stalemate / relying on Gov's).

is this a rant or do you have a basis for this? Source material? General context?

"I want to be a runaway gardening helper"
I think many may have this thought and I thought I'd symbolise it here by sharing a song about it even if it's not realistic to run away (or keep running Forest Gump style).
Does anyone need help in their garden in the future? That's my own personal question and want someone around to dance / practise - with good music whenever they want it!... maybe a troop of dancer-people around or just 1 disco-man (me) ?
I'm not interested in the Marijuana part of the song but thought I'd say people are looking to do gardening so to form with others and run-away might makes sense (all in theory for now of course until shit hits fan then we plant with it!)
Consolidate and skip the city... ?
Might be an avenue with a few who already outside (don't mean everyone but could be)
I also dance like I'm drugs but maybe music is my drug and the message to promote etc!
So you would have someone's got the energy to dance anytime when music is good and have their own collection to play. I don't need drugs for doing things green (like a type of dog that can run almost forever with breaks of course to dance / talk etc).
So I thought I'd speculate moving in theory / making potential alliances / exchanges / last stands working on the land / working with the land especially when crisis hits (or even before since we're in crisis somewhat already).
Now is the time to speculate, create pretend bridges and do some hops and jumps even to help visualise it a bit better before pushes comes to shove, and then to smile about it with each other knowing we know the score.
I guess the rich here could say something but I mean rich in terms of will-power / land / self-sufficiency attempts / those actively looking to collect people like Pokemon (and naturally their worldly problems) and get making some omelettes / something? :)
Or just way works going around doing things ad-hoc ?

To 'get' Conformity involves these basic steps):
- Bleeding People Dry Economically (reducing people's spending power over time)
...which then Increases Social and Economic Pressures (of staying alive since all is based on money / a few critical things)
...which in turn engages more 'Survival' Decision making skills
... which then increases the Survival By Any Means approach),
... which then 'gets' you Conformity from most people I would guess / sheep / anyone not seeing the unending loop.
'get' = to force
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:

2. The Little Prince book

3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

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...!
