The art of doing nothing in Capitalism... I was thinking about this as a chess strategy... 

"On a strict definition this of course isn't really possible. We are compelled to make moves. It is, however, possible just to shuffle a piece backwards and forwards.

As you might expect this isn't a very successful strategy for any reasonable form of the game."

I thought the above was the best part without diving into the chessy stuff...

And in real life, "killing time" or "killing the clock" = choosing the right games = not playing into capitalism's hands = not selling your time too fast or paying endless rent (doing any game more controlled and in a better way than all of it taxed).

Writing this was hard as it seems "the end justifies the means" but for sure Capitalism holds all the squares and if Fediverse people won't listen or unite... then really don't try too hard... it's a lost game UNLESS you find really a sure way else you're creating another business that is the business template of Governments - very well designed (and yes "please sign here" means to jump into the fire before any progress even begins!)

If you can find a minimal way to live (like not pay rent) THAT IS A BIG +).... instead of Berlin prices...

So instead make your own work... work on your notes, re-thinking, re-writing stuff = you win and capitalism loses... while you MUST ACCEPT there are not real winners - and you might have to end it also - because they will also or committed to the negative debt-based society anyway.
That's why people "have no time" or spent it on making a family based on debt or paying forever.

Just not jumping into big traps or accelerating debt is A BIG PLUS but I don't claim you don't work or find some things to do / volunteer for, sports... asking people for help personally.

So you accept your death even if you live for a bit more, and try don't play too fast into INDEBT-ing yourself and obligations, not signing your name to too many known bad things (if any...)

If you can find the balance, the right platform to share. think about involving others... do that if safe enough. [ Direct messages for example can't be easily scraped and copied to search engines... ]

Capitalism wants your DATA to WORK AND TO...
... PAY FOR YOUR RENT / EXISTENCE
... PAY LANDLORDS RENT
... PAY INCREASING ELECTRICITY

... TO PAY FOR LIFE 10 TIMES OVER! LITERALLY AS BANKS RE-LEND YOUR MONEY AND DILUTE IT'S VALUE!

Doing nothing (doing less) is not a bad plan IF YOUR SERIOUS ON FINDING SOMETHING ELSE (MAYBE BETWEEN PEOPLE BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH) AND LITERALLY DO IT ON A SHOE STRING / MINIMAL SETUP.
