#Nayavāda is the theory of standpoints or viewpoints. (Sanskrit: नयवाद)
🔴 common sense or a universal view
🔴 generic or class view that classifies it
🔴 pragmatic or a particular view assesses its utility

“If you alone found out what the lie was, then you’re probably right—it would make no great difference.
But if you ALL found out what the lie was, it might conceivably make a very great difference indeed.”

Feeding Fear Into The System... only ?
Your #Fear and #Helplessness also encourages more #attacks.
#Leaders, #Bullies and Professional #Bastards see you have no #agency of your own and it helps them refine how to twist the screw harder.
If you're only paying attention to them and not measurably others or 1 other #likeminded person, then they have won your #attention.
They have won your attention and stolen / occupied your time also from others that could use your attention to actually #build something continually more than a continual #shitshow.
Namely "better relationships" or just better #minigames between us - that is what we are missing and potentially upgrading as our own 'products', so we are the wiser and also so we personally don't end up BECOMING the next #Musk #Trump #Bezos #Zuckerberg #Clinton or whatever in our own lives.
Processing the previous 10's of years #emotions is #expected and would be a good start now to see what your #trouble is.
Not always about global #Climate / #ClimateChange but also your own #Change - What do you want more / less of ?
Because the next #Bully and Human #Shark will only enjoy making examples of you and others alone pushing his weight around. Whereas others will be more #forgiving and #helpful.
Don't feed them your fear only
and don't hang around like fish.
Prepare #yourselves and others to work for #yourself (!) which means with you, for you, for others instead.
Don't #feed #fear INTO #systems / leaders.
You need to work this OUT more personally to the end like and less play into it...
#Greta style while keeping your own balance... Hashtag #GretaThunberg helps from time to time.
#Greta talked about "Stolen Dreams"

Also others courses and programs good just for their descriptions and what we also need to do on #Fediverse:
Quitting YouTube + #Statistics - #IT became the new #TV
Quitting YouTube + #Statistics
It's not just #YouTube but also as other activity using #machines as people aer coding non-stop, educating or whatever.
We can't stop playing with machines it seems and losing warmth of #people while habits get over-used / too heavy.
Information Technology started off good - and was needed - but now has inevitably become #unhealthy also as things move on in to #commercial phases.
And still we're no nearer to making #friendship.
We're occasionally growing #plants mostly but watching TV again irresistibly - some on big screens no different to 50" inch TV screens like a TV on steroid as seen in living room windows while walking past as big as the window itself.
Some of us scoffed at TV being too much of a large object in past but you probably have a larger one now. 📺
What's prompted me to say and do this is also...
1🔴 The @Invidious filter sites (that remove adverts) has been largely suppressed
And so it's also hard to escape code for tracking and adverts in general that the new #TV is with tracking and adverts - which is worse than before and unacceptable.
#Invidious is good and might still be in future but anyway it's about self-moderation and it was feeding existing bad #habits (for me at least).
2🔴 I need to do something more with my life.
Make my own shit, even with stuff already downloaded from the past - of which there is plenty... I admit it's hard and nobody else is around but still...
You have to figure how your own life can be, so saying this aloud helps me and perhaps you.
Instead of only watching others that you will never talk to while absorbing and tons of #Hollywood movies, #adverts and bad #code (even if you don't see it) then we have to probably create friendships to replace this and what surely #online is only going to increase in the bad things.
==============
YOUTUBE #STATISTICS
==============
2023 = 14 billion videos in total
(approx)
2019 = 500+ hours per minute uploaded videos
YouTube users in January 2024
= 2.7+ billion monthly active users
...who watched more than 1 billion hours of videos every day 📺
Just too much...
#Help #Fediverse not be another Twitter?
❓ Is Fediverse turning out to be "yet another" communication thing just for #output almost only and not really input? ❓
#Help #Fediverse not be another Twitter?
Pay people more #input and attention... ?
Couldn't we use this place towards actually helping people change? Personally hand-holding in whatever they / you want...?
❓ Are you just another user killing time and not much at the end like another Playstation? ❓
#MASTODON ETC IS GOOD BUT...
This space in itself is 100% ⭐ super ⭐ to be here and total respect for how many hours makes this a success,
BUT we almost had the same or similar as #newsletters + #forums + emails + #IRC or #ICQ etc - so how is this going to be different here ? ❓
❓ Mastodon etc as just a better front end and not actually full of people changing history? ❓
The 'next level' is to actually #help each other #create change and #curate others more personally.
Left alone we suck or get sucked into the engine pipes of other things like #Capitalism and plans from #Plutocracy who spit us out the other sides when our batteries are tired and dead -
Give each other more listening time and even humour them - You might learn something and spend less time in the mono-work you do elsewhere (#Tech etc is also a big time suck and not people focused)
The idea is 1-to-1 / 1-to-many
+ many-to-many (all of them)
1/ #Friendship first
2/ #Work together (non-state work) second
3/ #Cats along the way but not just using it for #Caturday ❗
Yes do mix up the order also !
Pay each other more specific #attention... like you do you cats!
Show a little mo' #love / solidarity to #humans and find them to offer help / contrast / change...
Stay classy, stay positive... stay active on the Fediverse. #FreeSchool

RE: Invidious / YouTube
Yes it can busy often so I find one to stick with after hopping a few
1/ using this link to see:
https://redirect.invidious.io
2/ Try Sepia Search:
https://sepiasearch.org/
YouTube is trying to block tools that are cleaning away adverts and stripping the tracking (imagine all the links from Fediversethat are directly youtube.com!
tracking them)...
But I have 2 honest solutions:
➡️ A) Not watch as much ✔️
AND use that time for other useful things ✔️✔️
Point A explained more:
We had it too good with YouTube and it became another TV... so while its good I have all I need.
And this ties perfectly with making contact people instead for the real change eventually on Fediverse (not just users migrated from Twitter etc), so by not watching videos I can watch profiles instead as "the social project" and put it into practice DAILY which I feel people don't do / get distracted from giving each other real attention and instead watch Hollywood or other videos / politics)
➡️ b) I use savefrom.net/ to download video instead ☑️
Point B explained more:
Means I have to wait and not endlessly watch but when I'm sure I download it instead of stream and watch it 10 times instead of moving on quickly.
I make notes or smaller clips from videos like a mini project too getting the best out of each download like it's gold and I respect it took energy to get to me.
===============
SUMMARY
===============
➡️ 1/ Overall I pick and choose more often.
Real contact encouraged with people
➡️ 2/ I accept that in the end the other service providers / companies providing the service / YouTube / websites will always win or put more cleverness leverage to make it less worth my while
But God knows I have enough videos on my hard disk so I need less YouTube!! ✔️✔️
And probably should start creating my own stuff ALSO!
If you can reduce Google YouTube usage then more power to you...
Some people have PeerTube
so can work we slowly use that and Sepia Search to search videos...
#GeoSpy, AI designed to look at a photo and tell the user where that photo was taken...
IMPORTANT!! 🚨 Surveillance state

Sorry.
" There is an #AI company called #GeoSpy, the AI is designed to look at a photo (any #photo) and tell the user where that photo was taken.
They initially opened it to the public, but #privacy concerns led to them going #private. And now they sell to the following:
#law #enforcement,
#government and
#insurance.
I know we’ve been saying “don’t fucking take pics at #protests” for years? But I think we need to escalate that to “don’t take pics at #pride. Don’t take pics at #queer #events” etc

@mcnado Emotionally I'm with you but my head says you're in rage which missed better target - so if you really want to get even you're going to have to make #friends with the world - that's it.
See all these people online in #rage and #bashing / #hating and all without any care or reply - no #justice from those in #power putting things to #occupy our #time even. So we have to spend it better and in our own lives use the power.
Friends just help solve and open more up that way which NOBODY is doing much as a daily thing - who is seriously joining 'forces' more than posting hate or constantly logic from ILLogical people in power knowingly ILLogical?
It's not just endless revenge posts or kills and reactions... it's the loooong way around that is the friendly one and I mean long, starting with me and every other expected imperfect by #genuine person you can see from profile and test (on #Fediverse as that is a bit of a #guarantee of person) and really "killing" things off that way...
My recent posts say exactly how to do it with more reasoning but that's it really - so simple every day make a friend - spread #positive things and #project making between each other... show how to talk and #communicate (we still can't do this perfectly at work or home).
What the people are not doing in action in this way is that micro-friendship and replying on spending which skips all this too. If #money is the whole chain of badness and even politics itself based on making profit then you might see the end of it soon after skipping some things and keeping the people parts-
People are just sitting back every day even in victim-mode (accordingly) but not doing real ' #job ' of re-education / #friendship and art of #communication, or looking to come out of being victim-only as overall aim daily.
People might respond to other stuff but shirk this kind of stuff as dubious or not really courageous enough to solve the world one reply at a time giving time and respect to others despite any odd ones - many just don't do it at all (like 0 or near-0) with any excuse if anything. We should be much better at this by now or if we want it give a little #trust.
Check my posts and replies which might confuse momentarily but then click - I make a point of doing this #daily proving points in similar different way to bring back one's own agency back in people's lives since they are giving it away to easily / cheaply - we can grow better #mentality even from today...
- so my question is, with #respect, are you following me even slightly about that even if not all of it?....

#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes from #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites all around #DIY Care# and #Caring as our main #Politics / #Politics

#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
