Words have 2...3...4... meanings
Dictionary / Language is therefore by nature misleading...
Collectivism (as example)
= 1. Soviet communism
OR
= 2. A political theory that the people should own the means of production
So if I say I don't like "Collectivism" Do I dislike 1? Soviet communism
or
Do I dislike 2? A political theory that the people should own the means of production
or dislike BOTH?
#Dictionary = #Division
Multi-meaning words are therefore by nature #misleading / full of #misunderstanding ...
growth = success? (Mastodon critique)
growth = success (usually)
however growth in just numbers without mindset growth is dangerous.
#Mastodon for example is growing and so are the youtube links which is Google.
So YouTube Google on Mastodon or linking to making a kind of Advert Farm for them here - which is not the aim but often comes first with users and is not acknowledged or curbed enough (or at all) by admins and users to do different or try something else (filtered links or firefox plugin etc)
Those who might have come here for similar reasons (non adverts) put links with adverts! Crazy!
So we grow the SAME cancers here / allow links tracking users or just link to non-Mastodon #ethics and expect that to work?
A least people could filter their links to videos like this

or video channels linked like this:

This post was a bit better but jumping all over the place is a sure sign of not keeping to topic
Not good enough for me to do what you do - treating people so is great but if you think that's going to do it or enough regardless or money - it's not.
A lot of ethical things don't cost money but more incremented time and other accumulated gesture (even token gesture accumulate / open up things)
And if your family isn't doing the homework (talking between them / training how to talk / therapy and listening etc) then you're raising a family that is also not good enough by these more-human measurements. People commonly empty all their life into people who just do the same while everything goes downhill... not all your fault but money only isn't the answer either.
Let's see what your next reply is - considering these things.
@stormbringer Your talking out of context suddenly or jumping to bigger without the details with this one.
@stormbringer
I did ask what you would rate yourself as in the ethical things listed....
If you're not interested in answering the question more directly just say or don't reply.
You started good - let's see if you can do a better reply
#RMS I think has his ways however missed a big trick: using the fans more directly and even talking to them directly as it's a human movement (not just a 'computer programming' solution lol)
So without knocking him or it all:
it's basically human thing (human behaviour or alignment of principles) as the onion skin layer over the computer thing...
People are at the heart of everything so just 'talking to computers' or talking via text and computers seems to make that as a limitation very clear and even compound it!
Sorry #RMS !
@stormbringer
So sssuming that's perfectly true...
What of the ethical things of giving back; decision making, do our homework on what's happening or what we use, listening, caring for others, protesting and doing something about something etc?
Do you think people have done well in that?...
(perhaps consider yourself in those departments because talking about others might be speculation or unspecific)...
An economy without true wellbeing and human welfare in mind?
An economy without true well-being and human welfare in mind (more than profit) is a false economy for humans/
I personally assume humans want for more than just profit to the top people of work trees. Or maybe don't realise yet why money is not enough in the ethical and other areas of care...

Humans have gradually become the dominant species, however, have not equally contributed back (in the mind also not just physically)
YOU might not have given back or even considered this (mind and physical matter).

#Upcycling / #Recycling / #Reuse is good but more is needed!.
Easy to assume that the #Reuse / #Upcycling / #Recycling resources and overall smart design will somehow ensure sustainability / surviving.
Noooo not only the end user stuff - something more is needed and I admit asking the people with matches isn't working (asking / protesting doesn't solve it)

We need a way for the truth and real statistics!
Part of the #energy #problem is the lack of clarity about resources - not even the scarcities - just actual real stats.
We need a way for the truth and real #statistics !
Even if "sensitive" it seems we can't have 0 data or trust the government or rely on media representation...
We need a way for the truth.

MY COMMENTS & NOTES :
================
" Cement makes almost as much Co2 " + the fuel for it's transport (diesel oil)
+ sand aggregate (added energy) also mined and transported using diesel oil
Imagine all the buildings, schools etc - THAT IS A LOT OF CEMENT
WHAT'S THE COST OF THAT TO EARTH?
1 TON OF CEMENT = ABOUT 1 TON OF CO2

"Free School" is movement from 60's 70's as education of life / practicing living and learning towards togetherness / DIY / Caring etc:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Mutuality, Education, and maybe Friendship can help WIN:WIN:WIN it for us all in this world ,,,or at least Fediverse first.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes #Caring #Politics #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites
...towards a more caring intelligent planet and better mindset of people...
Also here as a friendly person to encourage your own thoughts *and* action. More togetherness means more
Communication
to get there... Less means less possibility...
Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (both). I don't think there is another way around that without bad people and tools who pretend to do it for us killing things for profit while we pretend to be 'independent' and think we can undo things (more than let them cause more problems like #AI and people behind it who surely will).
I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.
Consider *developing people* in your work at the same time also - not just developing machine code, but decent people are the KEY to everything almost FOREMOST...
If life's people are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get as a cold Matrix system using computers and tech by Musk / Trump mostly since they have more leverage against everyone using banks also. In the end we lose with only tech! (yes computers are too fast and even #OpenSource and nice things get used badly and only can stop it by developing better people).
Working on better people is the better way at the end..
