Ask if you want bigger version - but right now it's saving the planet being 10's of KB less per post in transit and storage...

The Fabian Society founded the London School of Economics in 1895.

A lot of extremes or reactions to things in History (don't say Hitler) have some good and bad points to take from (stripping some unwanted parts sometimes... )...

Because either way the war continues (didn't stop after WW") and just became civilized instead.

So the "nice"civil wars people have to fight also instead of following others blind and paying blind 🤑 to "yet another bad thing, oh my God isn't it bad" 💰 (Just keep paying them?)

Motto:"Wearing the enemy down"
+ "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"...

That (part below) reminds me of Heinlein’s The Puppet Masters, where even after an entire city has been taken over by mind-controlling parasites, parasitised businessmen still have to go to parasitised bankers to get business loans.

from original post:
“Depending on your point of view, you could say this all shows that banks and finance — in the very broadest sense — are not only natural but hardwired into life; something very similar has been going on, silently but profoundly, for millions of years, and it has shaped the world around us.”

" And, really, you could rearrange these facts to tell a more lefty, socialist kind of story: the trees in the forest cooperating, pooling their resources to achieve common goals. I didn’t mention it in the article (it was getting long enough already), but there’s evidence that trees may use the network for something that looks like altruism — as in, trees may divert resources to support trees that are injured or sick. So it’s not all tooth-and-claw. "

Janis:
I’ve been at odds a long time with Adam Smith. Yes, our beastly nature has capitalism built in, and it’s worked for crude propagation. We aren’t #fungi, or #trees. We have this fancy little knob on the top of us that’s supposed to have a function.

Those seeding trees are mothers, something fringe capitalist literature is only now addressing. Spore drive, indeed.

Make Banks & State stronger?

I don't fit very well in other people's boxes and packages. □ ⌂ ▲ ◊ ♥ ◊ ▲ ⌂ □

Other people's measurements and metrics are for their directives, objectives and rational.... They lose me almost completely as a result and should involve me and people, more willing to debate about what we are doing and who it's for...?

(ANSWER: for us and the next generations...?)

Ask yourself why you are doing what you do.

Some human company in measured amounts can make the whole world a lot warmer and fun!...

Reality is there but we dance around it a bit usually in the mind and occasionally physically using the fire as a focus... #Togetherness #BeingInThePresent

...many don't care for 2-way communication, and that's important for you time... and you projects to link up too.

So people not engaging

☑️ shows contentment in their work and world and not much extending actively the time to anyone else's world or work.

☑️ outputting to internet more blind, half complaining and wanting for more but not willing to do any human work around it (half of Tech people perhaps - sorry it's not accurate numbers but "lots").

Overall 0 reply will be more evident as signal and you can focus effort on those that care...

It is about attention seeking if we are to make world better together somewhat almost like talking to bots for profiles - which is kind of ok if people have that as it's clear, but for those that pick and choose about who to reply to, not great.

Let the zero's rain! ☔

Happy to hear thoughts on "strategy" which is more about not letting myself be disappointed / managing expectations. I do give notice sometimes too so it's a chance to explain or not total disservice even in the exit / leaving them to it...

Liquid from bottles especially sucking from #plastic #bottles by reducing the flow with lips, is #fun !

Seems to have something of a #natural feel or #science about it too.

Small high pressure intake... and also playing with food making it last or more enjoyable (brain)...

Also like #dogs having something plastic as chew toy related to #liquid or #food but more indirectly... #chewing action helps.

#Respect #Unity is to love each other's + /- points more than what we do as individuals and as society today.

It is needed to spreading and practise much more unity (despite being different). #Respect #Unity ❤️ 🌐

Perfect people don't complain and don't fight... and don't exist.

If perfection is your aim, reconsider.

*over* perfectionism. OK?
