The older I get, the more transhumanism scares me.

10 years of younger me dreaming big of the future got supplanted by 10 years of older me realizing what people would actually do.

If you run a small business, organization, etc, PLEASE get an actual website and not some Facebook page. You are just turning away any potential customers, members, etc by locking your visibility by a Facebook login screen.

All you need is a simple static website that shows where you are located, what you are selling, how to contact you, etc. Simple HTML and CSS is not that hard. If you can't handle that, you can easily whip up something in a Word Processor (which I normally wouldn't condone but is much better than hosting your shit on Facebook). Just don't use shit like Wix or Squarespace which adds unnecessary big tech JS to your site.

I am with you in that I don't really think "abolish work" is a functional goal. I do think reducing dependence on a broken system should be everyone's goal. Part of that is building new systems that are more resilient and decentralized. I think even if a person isn't able to get "off grid" there are ways they can become more independent (growing food for example) or even voluntarily dependent on alternative systems (finding a local farm to buy food from).

Ah yes, Lupron, the 100% totally safe and reversible drug that has never ruined a single soul.

Let's give that to kids. What will go wrong.

More sanity from my home country: Māori tribal leaders & their advisers call for data sovereignty, to take back control of what is theirs. Cited is "an intergenerational approach to data, as a taonga (treasure)"

Self-hosting is included as a strategy, servers at home & on the marae (meeting house).

This initiative can be seen as a form of infrastructural de-colonisation, reclaiming what has been lost to the digital imperialism of AWS, Microsoft & other 'cloud' giants
