My Note:
========
I've long since said the "science" of selling debt is working again man, but often that's what science is for (whether you like it or not - but can make the change by not using so often shops that sell money for debt! #Banks are a root cause of negativity! 🏦 Literally!... )

#BigData #BigTech #AI
#AIColonialism vs. #Democracy
#Inequality va #Tech #Science #Math vs. #CommonSense

Big part of information online is that it's a painkiller for us.

- #FreeSchool ❓ #Matrix ... #TheMatrix ❓

Do you think we humans always get to a certain stage and just naturally from exploring all physics and maths etc that we (humans as Capitalists mainly) "expose" or unfold those "laws of" in our own intelligence, in order to attack their weaknesses...

Kinda of like opening the box and showing the part of how we work (which is neutral)

So we can either respect it (we are imperfect / weak / etc but let's not attack that too much)

Or let's manipulate to make people do what we want / charge them more for it... etc

So knowing how things work is OK....

UNTIL it's a branch or combination of branches like maths in say a #Ponzi Scheme that #Banks and #Banking use all day for example) that basically weaponises these discoveries (Negative maths for example or simply put "debt creation") in classic Man vs. Man trapping each other again (Mankind using it against each other) like an old style trap but now economic one... (see picture of bear trap)

==================

Was inspired by this #quote below but isn't the total intended meaning...

================

" The object of pure Physic is the unfolding of the laws of the intelligible world [...] "

"The object of pure Mathematic [...] that of unfolding the laws of the human intelligence."

"Attention Economy" for sure,..

But "Lack of Attention" (depth) on Fediverse also!

"hey you I'm looking for more concrete constructive focus!!"
(That's from me)

The lack of depth on Fediverse could be waaay more on every level (perhaps the lower needs more than specialist) and seed things on every level like a fish frendzy (FRIENDZY) even from the most silliest or backward things *if* being genuine IT WILL GROW CONVERSATION AND THUS MORE...

AND THEN CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER LEVELS... YES level up indeed....

"Lack of Economy" in Attention means these users will either not use platform and stagnate AND also be gobbled up by mainstream Guardian, CBNC, BBC, CBB'S, BBCBCCBCBBCBS, BBSBSBSBBSSS, ETC !!!

(THOSE THAT WILL SUPPLY THEM FISH CAKES (OR FISH FOOD, WHATEVER)... AND WILL SERVE / USE THEM INSTEAD...

We have to make our own economy here (in all the meaning: financial / giving for the attention seeking / eventually contributing)

We need them / you to sharpen our principle's and focus here

Or else get taken the fuck over / ran the fuck over! #NOOO

It's a play on the whole phrase "We are disappointed in you..."

Often used by parents or in conversation referencing society or social groups larger than one's self and people we've never met!

This phrase and image I thought went well as the "You're..." modification and perspective of the many faces as like each of your own internal other personality or critical character disappointed on every little thing and expecting too much.

One character might be picky about this, the other about that, etc)

And that's why you need me! [THE PUNCH LINE TO THE WHOLE POST AND BASIC EDIT OF THE PHRASE!!] 💣

💥 To help you realise the balance AND actually you're doing pretty good (Brodie you too!). and the expecting "too much" from imperfect #humans is a kind of #perfectionism to be reduce! Mission impossible there for any #perfectionist ! We're imperfect - get used to it while doing / learning.

Perhaps I'm the over smiley friend that look like I'm selling something, but friend a nonetheless... let me introduce myself... I'm online as #FreeSchool ! Have a nice day!

The future is already here - it’s just not evenly distributed...

- William Gibson #Quote

So you might get what you wanted (cleaned bin) it wasn't necessarily what you need to be done (be taken care of or re-made cheaper) and */might/* also be burnt the same as you would in your garden but elsewhere at greater cost to #tax #taxpayers even more.

You won't even get big bonfire's night in the village to burn all the excess stuff... Somebody else gets that #heat lumping it all elsewhere faaar away...

Logic of #Profit and Logic of #Recycling are often 2 different things.

We know "Inflation" is added from what Banks / Government say,,, but is it just Inflation at 2/3%?

Dollar loses about 2% a year
- Mike Adams Health Ranger
(will try find source, I could be wrong so this post is just to confirm we're losing...)

Pictures suggest dollar halves ever 20yrs but could be more not just as "Inflation" but added profit pricing to make "effective purchasing power" even more different as you try to purchase anything big... There are laws to keep bread etc mostly ok (to keep us alive just about) but not for real money makers:

like rent, housing, fuel, heating, gas etc which can sky rocket AT ANY TIME:

As we saw in #UK 2023 winter prices with BritishGas #energy "profits" amazingly high suddenly checkmating people, (this is a bit of speculation forgive me but probably not always relative-to-war prices and just pure profit happened many times in #Britain at least!)

...at home / job / local bubble,,, ?

Ask yourself...

It's a regular occurrence and question I have written myself in puzzling 💠 things...

Is there real democracy and control given? Atmosphere good? Can you change it, even if exit is a last backup plan (but not running away always first?)

Doing for right people is important.

My notes before reflected when I needed to seek better company of friends or even parents - not that they are bad JUST THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR... So sometimes that involves moving, not always since there is internet...

But eventually in physical proximity with better / real / inspiring people even if short-term - try for long-term worming your way in mutually!

...more info / story...
=======================

#trans woman #CPU #designer

Lynn developed "generalized dynamic instruction dispatch" for IBM in 1966.

2 years later she was kicked out, just after Robert Tomasulo published the "Tomasulo Algorithm" for out-of-order execution of floating point instructions, utilizing Lynn's work.

Everyone knows Tomasulo (and he did great work, mind you!), but no-one knows Lynn.

Later, in technical compsci, you may stumble upon highly integrated circuits, everyone there knows #VLSI but not the inventor, our dear Dr. Conway.

Her story, her struggle against IBM who took decades to apologize to her for her mistreatment. She transitioned in darker times and pioneered not "only" in compsci. She was what many would call "greater than life". She died early Jun 2024.

Today let's remember Lynn 🏳️‍⚧️
Today and tomorrow we fight on ✊
See also: Talk on Wikipedia: Out-of-order execution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Out-of-order_execution#Lynn_Conway

The name of Conway is usually dropped and both concepts (register renaming etc. and multiple-issue) subsumed under one, effectively erasing Conway's work. If it isn't then multiple-issue is often erroneously attributed to Yale Patt.

SCARED? Yes we all are... but

People's own mistrust IS THE BASIC CAUSE for why we are not working more together over the net or not.
The worse case is claiming "strangers" without making effort to make friends (friends were strangers once or stranger = friends after getting to know them!)

Even if 100% were good here (everywhere or just your instance or some Federated tab... ) still you wouldn't know how to make friends / accept imperfections / to share with others and might claim the shadows are watching rather than fighting forward either to see if that's even the case or just guard up punching at things together to make some progress even expecting problems as building up resilience, experience, humanity, logic.... one big #FreeSchool

(pardon the F word at the end but #FreeSchool or #Friendship For the F-in Way!)

Much respect to you and get in touch and let's prove me wrong for a change! Happy to do stuff for #freedom / #free for you too.

Have to keep a check on your profit making karma (which I think you can do more responsibly with some of these things listed below) ... but needs to involve constantly involving others to do better and even make you better at the same time WITH THEM! (to achieve "community" or "family" feelings even if small group).

What helps us is listed below to avoid the financial-only games and playing things better ....

Also I don't want to sound like I always point to the gloom or bad things only... so do try these things:

🌱 = 🍆 - Do produce your own food and products more often to help keep busy and and let others do the same! A green- house serves MANY purposes (even to sleep in)

💼 🏃 - One person can work allowing other family/strangers to plant since I admit you can't feed on growing food only (takes years in gardening - I've tried) but getting better helps and killing time IS an Anti-Capitalistic move so as gardener this is also part of it and helps tap into community IF there is! Don't hold your breath but do fight to CREATE LIFE AND BETTER PEOPLE at the same time AS ANY 'WORK' because this is PEOPLE-IMPROVEMENT AND BETTER-HABITS **IS** THE "REAL WORK"!

🔨 You have to be a bit "Die-Hard like Bruce Willis" because you can't expect existing things to accommodate you or exist already ... without being a tyrant 'these things' are what 'we need to do'.

YOU MUST create / instigate / propagate it) which is the community making / fighting / growing patches and then linking arms. almost ironically "You must be the change" or single community as bacteria to grow more of the same...

#Karma vs. #Debt #Banks #Work #Protest
= Slow #Suicide for #Rich #Elite #Government #Controllers

Pushing a rock uphill is like the human effort - impossible to pay back debt [Money = (Money x Paying for it FIRST)]

If it would be possible to equalised debt all in this one moment (so only the more-real money existed) people instantly wouldn't have much money. It was all given based on banks not having it

(I think they can lend upto 10 times what they actually have if not more)

In fact maybe all money is fake so on that basis money IS debt, but even cutting back to debt that is more-legit and more manageable as debt would make more broke people overall or severely reduce people's position. This is what is 'letting' the world go round somewhat but putting other in more debt more than anything...

The #War is largely financial, keeping people alive... ON DEBT!

To make it clear: As a "2 worst case scenarios" basis, there is more of a glimmer of hope or chance from equalising debt (and resultant lack of money, the chaos, even starving) than people trying to pay off debt (as we speak banks are committing error by illogical / reckless lending).

Just puts into context how badly in debt we are and as negative numbers, cannot be positive as much as you would like to work it off or pay it...

Everyone gets lumped with debt continuously to deliberately keep people working.
