IMPROVE PEOPLE _NOT JUST TECH_ @freeschool@qoto.org

To Dominate - Increase the suffering to make more money out of the supply shortages and desperation you created...

(Some worldwide shortages currently as artificial-shortages / chosen distribution )

#Question - This #phrase I'm rying to remember before I forget, is something like:

" If you want to know if democracy with work, as the average person what they think "

Is that right ?
(Variations appreciated)

More money 💰 than sense 🧠 / love 💗

(and some potentially sexist observations / experience)

More money than sense seems true even in my life when I have it because any money is a type of crazy power or accumulated stupidity from mostly bad practices mostly generated from from war and division, or war like pressing down on people more than incrementing more personally or sharingly.

The arbitrary valuation of what is sacred (us, earth, the magical) priceless and is not possible to value. We shouldn't even have a number over our head.

The war-like template by uncaring and unloving people damages things. And this is where I blame mostly men.

=============
WHY MEN MOSTLY?
=============
I would say flexing their ego muscles whereas as women giving birth constantly give and don't have as much physical muscle so look for other ways... and of course giving birth yourself personally means you have direct appreciation for life and can see others as one of your own or imagine... whereas men (don't want to seem harsh but seems true) are natural destroyers (which can also provide in it's own way) but locked in financial spirals downwards (debt) becomes systematic illness like chopping trees that are not endless and becomes unhealthy for than man and all under the same system.

Effective # Nonviolent Struggle

#BOOK #QUOTE $STUDENT #TEACHING #Curriculum

https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/resource/guide-effective-nonviolent-struggle-2/

3 parts:

I/ Theory and its applications: The goal of these lessons is to provide a concrete framework for people to understand how nonviolent action works. First, all movements start with the desire for change, so we offer a methodology to help groups develop their vision for what they want to achieve (Lesson 1). We then address how nonviolent movements can gain the power to achieve that vision. By emphasizing that political power comes from people’s ongoing consent and obedience to their society’s political, economic, and social systems, it becomes clear that nonviolent movements can gain power and create change by shifting people’s consent and obedience patterns (Lesson 2). In order to do this, nonviolent resisters must understand the roles that key organizations and institutions (which we call “pillars of support”) play in their society (Lesson 3), what people’s motivations are for consent and obedience (Lesson 4), how nonviolent movements produce change in society (Lesson 5), and the tactics and methods that nonviolent movements have at their disposal (Lesson 6).

2/ Planning considerations: There is rarely victory for nonviolent movements without a strategic plan. Therefore, an understanding of basic strategic principles (Lesson 7) as well as tools and techniques to analyze their past and current situation (Lesson 8 and Lesson A1) is important as movements develop their strategic plans. An essential part of those plans will be communications. How do movements effectively communicate what they stand for? Developing effective messages and analyzing audience segments (Lesson 9) and understanding the tools and types of targeted communications (Lesson 10) are essential. Targeted communication is one of the most important parts of any movement’s strategic plan.

3/ Organizational and operational considerations: Nonviolent movements are faced every day with stresses in the areas of leadership (Lesson 11), fear-management (Lesson 13), and avoiding contamination (Lesson 14), so they need to be prepared. They also need to be tactically innovative and choose issues and actions that put their opponents in dilemmas (Lesson 12). Finally, management of key resources (material resources, human resources, time, and knowledge) are critical to operating a nonviolent movement or campaign. The advanced campaign management package (Lessons A2, A3, A4, and A5) addresses these issues.

Humans hold it within them rather than carry like money...

But it needs learning / training....
(...the #respect, #toleration etc)

The #Values are what we hold... (#sentimental values, cherished moments etc)

#YouTube is forcing #Adverts when #videos are paused...

...but people will only curse some more probably as they did when adverts were in between videos =

because when people get what they want fast and free, they are willing to accept the bad exchange and advertising.

Even be entertained by it (as long as it's not that bad... think of how much TV time is adverts and trying to catch when another program is actually running!)

#Fast + #Free = GOOD for #advertising

Everything has to be a weapon.

" I asked a Nuclear Engineer why we didn’t develop safer Thorium nuclear. His response was blunt. “because you can’t weaponize it” "

-@diamondkharness
YouTube #comment / #quote
https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=EvzAdGkQQ7c

If you can’t weaponize it, it's not a good enough solution for the bad people in control, wanting to make sure they keep it.

When people can't argue the message attack the messenger.

or

People attack the person with message rather than argue logically the message itself.

@lilithsaintcrow It's almost the destiny of all things to 'advance' or survive or exist in a forever devaluing system (Banks and money)

In a cheating system people will clutch at straws or plain sell out...

...instead of trying to the whole buying and selling... parents even hiding from children

So someone at some point in companies willingly going for it... unless people understand you can win using money and better to try mostly without using it as the answer and head towards more individual respect and individuality at the same time (not a total switch but slowly bending the tree back).

Banks and government have been doing cheapening money every day by asking people to pay for it (buying money makes each loan actually worth less than it says in total)...

$1000 is now actually $900 when you pay $100 for it - so even if you do something good, millions taking loans and payings fees = giving your friend less than the face value...

(sorry about the small rant but I wonder if most knew this (or even you?) just as a small test of public knowledge)

IndiGo manipulating emotions of users when booking flights to opt for travel insurance

Came across this “confirmshaming” dark pattern in the Indigo app when I was booking a flight. That’s when it “present users with opt-out labels that are worded in a derogatory or belittling manner, making users feel bad about choosing not to engage with the offered service”

Stripe makes it impossible for users to know its monthly costs leading users to pay more

Stripe is a great product but also employs a massive dark pattern. It's almost impossible to know how much you pay monthly to use Stripe. There are bunch of reports you can try to download to analyze fees, but as you turn on their additional services (Revenue Recognition, Sigma, etc) it's basically impossible to see a breakdown of what you're paying. If people easily saw what they paid Stripe monthly (spoiler alert, it's a lot), I bet Stripe would have more competitors.

Notion's subscription plan set to yearly instead of monthly without consent of users

What happens when a genius PM & UX designer work together at Notion? 👇 Backstory, I got $910 credits from Stripe Atlas to try out Notion. Cool, who doesn't like free credits! Finally, I used up all the credits and got charged $90. So I decided the party was over, let's downgrade the plan to free. But for some odd reason, the account is set to yearly, instead of monthly without my consent (Notion manually approves and applies the credit), and once I used up my credits. BOOOOM! My next invoice is set for Feb 2024 for a whopping $2,150.

Twitter changes its 'Ad' icon placement to make it difficult to scan and easier to be scammed

The 'Ad' icon placement and wording has changed on Twitter. Because your eye usually automatically scans to the place where it used to be, it's easier to get scammed at the moment by ads like this. Worth being a bit more careful than usual.

=====================
WHAT WE ALL WANT FROM OF THESE WORDS.... BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN - I THINK THEREFORE I AM...
=====================

We all want for love / care / respect "or else" the opposites start to occur like cancer (various levels) and things (people) get left neglected and also untrained.

We let the bad in by not doing the good basically as it's a kind of maintenance / repair-as-you go.
NOT just "we wait until it's fully broken!" or when person gets suicidal!)
Just the way things are and how things get without caring and doing the people work in every level of life during everything.

As much as you "don't have time" all these things (or their opposites) do catch up - so this is actually saving your time when you family or project doesn't fall apart!!! The damage is reduced / people don't waste our time later or bad things happen still but not without healthy use of healthy ways and even disconnection can be done better at the end and lessons learned much better ! So to practise talking now (at whatever level) pays off in the end to do more careful work together / constructing something beyond

==========================
CAPITALISM IS BETTER FASTER NO?
=========================
Capitalism also as we have learned CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK - it does care for what you think or choose - it's mostly authoritarian and profit-minded.

===================
START YOUR OWN SYSTEM
===================
It can mean starting something from this perspective that communication is better - because it's true many people just won't listen - but who is also offering or training people in these things - maybe you with this printed!

Yu literally have to create life yourself if it doesn't exist (on top of existing very pure sources, like I did with this list from the dictionary !!
=============
THE END RESULT?
=============
Once you as individually and family learn to print and share these things (stick on your fridge/door), it's techniques and sentiments can "live on themselves" (in others)...

WHY YOU TEACH ME ANYTHING - YOU'RE PROFILE IS A JOKE!

Love / care / respect is an intentional system, individually carried out for overall humanity - I'm not an NGO or anything big but as a human I stand or good - measurably, words and actions.

This can also start with you and more people taking just 1 picture and having the atmosphere of it reach others (give peaceful words a chance?)... We just needs humans to spread it somewhat and daily conversations get better as and people talk more and pass better words on

Sticking it up somewhere (friedge or wall) as is a good conversation point and piece of interest / meditation / discussion during dinner etc.

=====================
LOVE GOES OUT AND COMES BACK AROUND AND IN.
=====================
💌 Much love goes out to humanity, get in contact if interested... 💌

We know how it feels without love of various kinds (at work, home, outside) - so let's not neglect any of these smaller things - I'm not even talking big "love" / hippyness, but the smaller things and bigger efforts to improve vocabulary and practice it at home / on the internet as group chats etc... all can be a better therapy 💌

====================
WHY THESE WORDS?
====================
"System of Love" is from a list I collected over the years in my own relationships and looked them all up either from my words, partners or observations (everyone in my life!)

Related to love, care and respect needed between people more words are sometimes very crucial in heated battles or complex situations... learn well as it makes for less anger or else all hell breaks loose! 😃

Boost 🚀 if you would like to see more of these things practised in life.

=====================
ALSO FOR THE SCIENCE TYPES
=====================
#QOTO and #STEM perhaps are not alway emotionally minded or trained so it's also for people who dont' get exposed to why it's important to talk (to human, not just computers!).
Even as a science or biology consider of that mainly starts and ends with emotions (human input ouput) - check out Bruce Liption!

That goes beyond externally programming machines and more capitalistic styles of hiring people just to get stuff done - because computers and capitalism are without caring mostly and don't ask or design around what people think - it's mostly top-down authoritative (at least in modern day STEM).

Learning love (or to love others) or even to fight well, isn't exactly what school teaches everyone so we need these kinds of posters and reminders...
