@cururiosito2020 Welcome to Qoto, please ask if you have any questions or need any help. Enjoy your stay!

@rw I have noticed the post and the counting up -- but I think this one might be hogher than #3 -- which you posted 4 days ago. 😃

Nice work, I would love to get back into my own blogging groove too.

@rw That is a great post. Well done and welcome. Glad you chose to be at Qoto.

Site etiquette indicates my first toot should be by way of an introduction. Seldom comfortable tooting my own horn (pun intended)* I'll keep this brief(ish).

I am a philosopher and historian based in Sydney and currently a doctoral candidate at the Business School; researching Edmund and his implications for executive leadership.

I chose to undertake my study in a business school, grubby though commercial ends may seem to elevated minds, because Burke was an intensely practical thinker. As he noted:

'‘The End of learning is not knowledge but virtue; as the End of all speculation should be practice of one sort or another… [for] Knowledge is the Culture** of the mind; and he who rested there, would be just as wise as he who should plough his field without any intention of sowing or reaping.'***

In this context, it seems fitting to attempt to apply Burkean research to practical ends.

I am also a passionate advocate for technology reform, which drew me to Mastodon, as I do not think unrestricted access to an individual's data is necessary for the provision of services. , , , , and co. are all demonstrating that FAANG methods are not the only viable way of providing digital connections.

N.B.:
*Thinking intended puns, I am always reminded of the joke about a man who entered a local newspaper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

**Culture in the original sense of ploughing for sowing later.

@Phaedrus You are very welcome, and I feel that my compliments were overdue. You have added a lot of great contento to the site and the fediverse -- the kind of thing we strive for here at Qoto.

We used to have a much more active and social Local feed, I miss that, the chatting and feedback we provided to our local people were encouragement and motivational.

I hope we could get more of that again; things change all the time, I have been here for 6 months now and seen waves come and go.

Sincere thanks, have a good weekend! 😺

@vnarek Ah!! 😺

Wonderful, good to know. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. 👍
