“War is in the crassest opposition to the psychical attitude imposed on us by the process of civilisation and for that reason we are bound to rebel against it.”

Instead of reporting outside in a hurricane to show viewers how windy or wet it is, TV journalists should report from an oil refinery and explain why the world has become so dangerous.

commonality as #fascism / #binary thinking / #tech design #fascism / #binary thinking / #tech design 

⬇️ All these have commonality ⬇️

/ thinking / design

As ultimatums or narrowing-mindedness in design or decision-making they too easily fall into being non-human orientated...

1/ 🖤 It's either this or that

2/ 1️⃣ or 0️⃣ is 1 or 0 (or just not capturing every type of attribute.. leading to eventual reduction of humanity)

3/ Tech has designs of the people in charge so if they don't care it's all a cover up for not caring. People following those that don't care (like state) falli into thinking hospital are not just another big business (ma$$ive) and anyway tech can never fairly 'capture' every option or attribute to add to the value system if it did care really what you thought and put that into a system...

Because usually 'systems' are for power and control mechanisms, not how to collect all the info nicely and start respecting each and every person the same way they find a way to disrespect people (to get profit for themselves).

These things are exactly the same flow of good but opposite like reversing polarity towards negatives and cashing in on it (well some people;

for fascism = state profit
for binary-thinking = other authoritarian profit
for tech = elitism / more power and control and profit

For example, for every 10 yrs #Earth’s temperature remains 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, the researchers calculated, sea level will rise by about 4 cm, or 1.6”. Even a small increase in #SeaLevelRise can lead to more dangerous #flooding when #hurricanes & heavy #rains strike. (In #Florida, which is currently facing the danger of Hurricane #Milton, #SeaLevels are already 8” higher than they were in 1950.)

Life is somewhat irreconcilable... impossible to reconcile on one's own... 

Life is somewhat irreconcilable...
impossible to reconcile on one's own.

This helps make it a bit lighter after initial alarm because thankfully (almost) not everything is in our hands (we'd mess it up too quickly if it was)... so being ease with society teaches as aiming for "perfect" is simply not possible...

If you accept sky high property prices ... 

➡️ with no caps
➡️ no safety for future children
➡️ as predictable of sorts,

If you accept that then

[insert the rest of this yourself because I'm not sure what to say for people who do seek for a better way or create possibility for something that doesn't put the brakes on what they already see ahead]

Picture edit - a different version + notes to have a look at it's benefits... 

@deanpreston Hi there
I like the original picture but thought I'd show a different version and it's benefits in this post - and ask what you think too!

Notes are given towards measured improvement (if you agree) and some might be my taste but I think can be more measured for each change...

So the notes if interested are:

➡️ Original picture was good but it was unclear who / which person it was about - big fonts for two people and picture of someone else

i.e. almost an ad for Hillary and with picture of girl. So the brain is forced to take time about that to then see your name (but not your face) somewhere and work out what it's for !

➡️ So I added your face there! Seems obvious but also I considered you might not want your face there - I think your profile pic is ace so that's perfect in my opinion.

➡️ Wasn't sure instantly what it was about looking at picture so your picture NEAR "for supervisor" makes this a point in itself worth having in picture. Where i can see you going for that position...

➡️ Some of the size and colours

➡️ Reduced vertical size, mostly the picture of lady - she is holding a sign which is actually two signs high! So I made it just 1 sign not two

So this all solved the look vertically plus few minor things
➡️ - quote in it's own quote box I made quickly
➡️ - white line horizontal underline- not essential but seemed to make a news style visual and even separate the main title with quote (who's name is smaller you see usually on screen)

Other people were interesting... But now not so much... 

It used to be that other people were more interesting... But now people are so unfertile...

Unfertil might mean "the system sterilised me / them" and personally imagination... but that really I am so much happier being me... and even alone. And happy for those that still have "it" for life.

Even with the knowledge, skill, just people are dull and don't dance online with anyone (which actually is one of the biggest causes for "things that fail due to inacction".

Bfore I could watch Hollywood movies or even great documentaries... but it became another way to use up time / waste our lives away eventually without actual people contact (without it being job, business, family) -

❓ where are the people on the quest to freedoms?...

So this probably does not increase my magnetic feel for people or outwardly appearance to entice you to invest in each other but I'm just being real - if you are a great person - great !

But let's talk huh! ❓

Instead of playing games SCROLL A GAME account until you've had enough scrolling !

Scrolling as the game until you're sick of it - then get back to work, and do it again next time you want to play games, as apposed to SCROLLING as the game!

@thatgiga @gerrymcgovern But why stop? :) I mean if we can agree their mentality is that "we get lots of money from it and don't care long term" what would make them change mind seriously (in their mindset) ?

And are people ready to use less oil would also be a valid counter-argument - not as major as your initial states to stop drilling, but what about the people who consume more when it's cheap and does realise they are also cheapening world and it's processes... the mentality can be quite similar from person to person... or money orientated...
