#CrapData comment
and Copy of #AltText
===============

Imagine people's messy disks and #data #duplicates, files and folders, but all on the #cloud
(maybe multiple clouds!)....

Just occupying physical disk space and destroying the #environment / #energy keeping it all going when it's a lot of #crap...

Unwanted stuff that would take too long to sort, but TOO EASY to save everything.

#CrapData People saving crap online... to the extent of killing planet...

==================
Copy of #AltText below::
==================

"We need to talk about the #data. Crap data. We’re destroying our environment to create and store trillions of blurred images, half-baked videos, rip-off AI ‘songs’, rip-off AI animations, videos and images, emails with mega attachments, never-to-be-watched-again presentations, never-to-be-read-again reports, files and drawings from cancelled projects, drafts of drafts of drafts, out of date, inaccurate and plain wrong #information, and gigabytes and #gigabytes of poorly written, meandering content."

I'm happy to be first this " #CrapData " hashtag and was inspired by this post:

Not all STEM's fault but obviously... but...

#STEM often ends up as detachment from #humanity but nature of it's focus and specialty (cutting out of other things).

Excessive use is a big cause of increasing distance from reality... but that's what helps STEM make it 'efficient'. There's no H in STEM.

For me this is why it's a favourite #toolset for #tyrants and tyrannical people as it's well suited to #war and converting things towards it.

Good AND Bad people are on the same opposite spectrum (same emotional ignorance). The whole spectrum of ignorance helps ignore / damage it all more good or bad person)

===================
#PRIMITIVE STEM EXAMPLES
===================

SCIENCE Consuming huge amounts of resources towards less human connection; Biological weapons, more nuclear consumption, towards profit, control, manipulation?

TECHNOLOGY by mainstream that design to 'give' choice that ends up as the same thing in the end. (different doors leading to the same door).

ENGINEERING Weapons as PLANES AND BOMBS TANKS, HELICOPTERS ETC -

MATHS Numbers not quite representing people. Incorrect accounting (according to designer of #Matrix)

As well 'GOOD' things, bigger damage in STEM - even the good less economically damaging ends up helping fund war / bombs / profit again.

Bad circle for STEM / Humanity.

I guess we had to go there to find this out...

but now need to #degrowth quite a bit to ALLOW the humanity to creep in and grow more instead of be cut out for #money #banks to chew on.

@DarkOptimism The myth of self " Independence "

Really like this post saw:

https://open.substack.com/pub/brettscott/p/the-archipelago

Some excerpts and picture remix of the #myth as I see it to make you think about more real "independence"...: not just #employment / #military style economics as " #job " / economic hitmen.

#1 Economy is not voluntary
" ...the #economy is seen as a big collection of individuals who voluntarily choose to trade stuff. "

#2 Not really connected
"As you walk through city streets past strangers who ignore you, or drift through shops looking at ten different brands of shampoo, there’s a general feeling of detachment."

#Independence doesn't exist. It's not a #selfsufficient island or even voluntary for #emotional / #physical needs which should be the focus (not making #money / manufacturing #manipulation / increasing prices instead of decreasing / #sharing it all / connecting #people more on #emotional level for #healthy #society).

===================
PIC Text / #AltText
===================

EMPLOYED:
not really social
or independent

depressed
over-worked..
workaholic-ism

not really #healthy
individual or society

#primitive, #material #system

as housing etc prices go up

UNEMPLOYED (just more detached)

( same as above but sometimes happier / less dragged into #unhealthy system(s) )

@_elena Ok as neutral / never heard of her...

I give here the OK and even some credit for trying Bluesky as it's not clear (Jack Dorsey was good endorsement and left).

You can imagine BS is much like the 'alternative' unheard of thing so just for someone to sign up to that and be on something called Substack is something... and even EVERYONE who knows 'just recently' seemed to find out about substack or whatever next #rugpull type business even good guys don't read #termsandconditions (again, weep)- so it's like catching up fast and it's still a big try and GOOD for anyone not a good to be trying these things and yes after all these years and new sites like #SubStack people realise eventually or need years to undo things again and move on...

(which is why jumping to the next thing today is alienist always about #TechBros people whichever way from beginning or getting bought out - THAT'S #BUSINESS)... DON'T COMPLAIN - JUST DON'T USE IT!... EDUCATE SELF / OTHERS AND MOVE ON!

Though I'd explain it, BADLY PERHAPS! BUT in short people even on #Mastodon went to BS so it's fairly similar in that way even if not in others not to diss others... else they end up not using / connecting to many people (even if that is the way to go!)
