@ayoub Would it be mostly right to say all

countries and places were / are built on violence?

That was my main thought... hope the other notes doesn't

distract or detract....

And violence is perhaps just a part of nature?

So wouldn't people just be throwing stones, spears or

rocks and fists anyway regardless of tech level ?

only a bigger power or punishment stops us?

(i.e. we humans are a lot about war, so even peace now is

based on the war that is separating us (and we all don't

see economically as war)?

Otherwise many (not all) would be bickering with

neighbours (next door and as leaders doing same just with

nextdoor countries) ?

People don't know how to manage not being satisfied?

Above is the hard reality perhaps, to accept we came from

war and are based on it or separated from those that

continue and those that #support it.

What do you think of these #questions above?

Pictured (slightly less seriously but has a point)

showing #Gandhi from #India in #Civilization #Retro #Game
#Civilisation / #Peace / #War in #Computer #World

(similar to #reality)

Also just came to mind is how kids (AND adults) play

these #wargames shooting each other some many times a day

in very real situations and graphics WHILE on TV war is

going on almost exactly the same?

Wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia was supporting war as

that's what it helps do mainly for #gaming world.

A bit like #drones are a #toy helping fund drone

development, like it or not.

What do you think of these #questions above?

@gerrymcgovern Another take on it, slightly different points:

- People do give way to aggression

- People do give way to technology or fall for it

(also because they can't see the disadvantages and trick, and they go for advantages first without understanding things)

- Women are not as change-focused or dominating-based (also from inside the current male-domination not easy).

This related to 'carrying' or having more attachment (literally) with baby and perhaps males naturally less so (pollinators). And so carrying 'baggage' make people less mobile to do war (which is also why males maybe don't want people more than nurses and doctors, not CEO or on board of directors) because they might be less inclined for #war which is the #business of most states and firms (#economical war today but similar to 100 years ago World Wars)

- People generally are doing 0 towards change (male/female/anyone) and JUST FOLLOW.

Last note:
- That's maybe part of life and nature, science as well as "science" as mankid's re-packaging of the word as their own agenda(s).

@johncarlosbaez @grimalkinUSA A different take on this perhaps, just as different perspective is that;

We are all a apart of each other (biology, culture, reality, interactions, needs, sharing etc)... so while you can be yourself on your own there is a learning from others or ideal that you can choose much easier when you see it.

This is why your circle(s) can make you (and break you) but keeping the values and examples ultimately can make you and work naturally with you rather than artificially / aesthetically...

This is why I think it's all our responsibility as a part of one whole, to help others in various levels of directness / indirectness to be more human and more ourselves (with people who allow and care for it).

The Word Ubuntu
===================

"Ubuntu" covers some of what I mean...

#Ubuntu (an #isiXhosa / African word...) 'I am, because we are".

It emphasizes the role of the community in caring for each other. The #Xhosa is a South #African nation, primarily found in the Eastern #Cape.

Ubuntu (in# computing #community also)... used to describe the #linux #freeware / #freedom that the company distributes.

Ubuntu is the primary reason why impoverished rural #communities (and individuals) can continue to #survive.

@freemo Hey hope you're doing well...

Subject: plutocracy, plutarchy, plutonomy + documentary clip

mentioning it (Capitalism A Love Story)...

I'd really like to hear what you think of documentary as a whole

just the clip watch for yourself
(links at the end)...

🔴 Why I send this: I remembered one of these three words we

agreed was fairly accurate to describe some of today's

situation...

🔴 Since then I also realise the other words very similar:

plutocracy, plutarchy, plutonomy
- meaning generally:

= a political system or economy significantly influenced by or

governed by the very wealthy

🔴 All 3 words are quite different sounding in their own way -

e,g... plut"archy" ending sounding like anarchy)

🔴 Somehow this film doc was uplifting - I'd REALLY like to hear

what you think of it of the film if you don't mind - I really

REALLY like it's level of depth and line-for-line considerations

while being nicely loose and comedic...

The main reason for clip is the word plutonomy mentioned...

Either link is the same and starts itself from exact time

plutonomy is mentioned (at 54.50mins) ⬇️

@markhburton
It's not only the government lacking courage, it's the academics also working for them, paying them.

Paying the government and all these bullshit #taxes.... is very much helping it all while falsely believing in money and that it's good for certain things and not mostly all the bad meanwhile.

Academic value system itself might need to change else with one hand say something but other hand do another.

Just writing about it, NOT looking or trying for physical and mental alternatives, doesn't seem right by a long way.

JUST writing and waiting for cruel professionals to stop and listen is stupid, while you or others aren't really bonding with others.

What governments do (the impersonal) and what they intend (as a business upon people) doesn't stop by begging or even pointing it out.

Being intellectual like this has limits unless you want to make a living from writing about the #shitshow without actually trying to live or do different... e.g. move out of the city.

I'm sure some of it some do, but for the most part feeding the system overly while not risking much.

So by feeding them (money, taxes, time, lack of personal contact with others) and not actually aiming for alternative ways to do things = YOU are quite in the same colonial style boat.

And if not talking to people differently other than academically or monetarily or whatever standards you hold and respect - you are copying the government ways with those standards that filter out alternatives more often.

This comment isn't to villainise you but show: You might be practically in the same colonial boat or overly copying them, even filtering out others.

Look at what academics do (or more what they don't do).
Enough writing already. Courage (or "pusillanimous" as you say) is doing the endless 1-to-1 and linking people (actual growth instead of #degrowth into more #fascism / #tyranny) and even with more semi-anonymous people protecting themselves has to be respected online, more than thinking it's anything against you of suspicious in these climates / types of corporate players / governments.

Get out of the city and stop funding them in various ways of paying for it all, otherwise really listen and talk to people like you and care.

Don't say you don't have time or because you have your family and I have mine - but because maybe more we should all be towards 'family' or some sort of link... certainly not just write another general piece about it.

We all lose that way from impersonal / non-personal distances. And need to all do the listening personally we can for each other to get what best we can after positively (even in the negatives). Don't expect the governments to do that! There is only us, right ?!

We can't withhold our attention and ears and trust from each other... even if it's step-by-step.

GET REAL ! We're all scared and just have to find another game and bond somehow - maybe not all in the city where we're much more trapped by the system,
right ?!

pusillanimous
= "Lacking in courage and manly strength and resolution; contemptibly fearful"
