I've changed my mind on live debates, and lean more towards them being a waste of time. I understand why with a lot of prep they could be valuable...
That said, in high-stakes issues where people are unlikely to cooperate with their opposition, there's not going to be any meaningful progress made.
If you think a live debate would be useful on a divisive topic, my recommendation would be to at minimum have someone (or a group) do the research to be able to solidly steelman (not strawman) the other side.
But even then, I'm more partial to written/hypertext form than live performances.

Stop the suffering - less leaning by force on each other 

Stop the suffering - less leaning by force on each other

Not just saying:
"As long as it's not me" because thing like Capitalism catch up to all of us in every job or system - it's the root to a lot of suffering as a domino, 1 group at a time or more. So stopping helps slow it all down to make sense of it all...

Power is from this domino leverage on individuals...

vs, LESS

vs. more

I like how all components have links to documentation! Importantly, they publish the specifications of all the used connectors on GitHub: github.com/FrameworkComputer/F

In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is:

"La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera."

or:

"The right oppresses, the left liberates."

(Now I kind of want to put this on a t shirt)

Humans introduce purpose, intentionality, motivation, and meaning to the interactions that produce new knowledge. AI does not... yet.

The system likes total control.

The system, meaning your Government is a criminal enterprise.

And that criminal enterprise likes putting up muppets to make you think you have some say in the process.

Maths fails when other humans values deliberately against people to devalue them in a poorly numbered matrix / soft-slavery. 

Maths fails when humans that use it deliberately and systematically against people.

P.S
If you think your can say this better or differently please reply!

In other words how much are you worth ? This starts you thinking... It's just an opinion...

Often systems (by people or people higher up in position) deliberately devalue people so they do not compete with them and stay low... systems don't want to give to people and short-change them instead.

I could value you less than someone else even though you do more hours and less work.

Material is valued more than mental-health.

Happiness is hardly valued and could be measured as the judge for changing jobs for the better.

Devaluing nature, for example; asking yourself "how much am I worth" means you can check yourself and find any value is incorrect.

Only because food then we need X number but it's nearly unneeded and manipulated as a system 'could;' make sure ALL people is fed and watered" rather than pay more and more for little and little..

Governments can value things that favour itself- so that is the biggest danger. It could make some people work more than others typically teachers, teachers, doctors etc....

I agree, but people in groups always make stupid decisions because they are lowest common denominator.

Restricting Freedom, for the common good?

[It Sucks / I am Disappointed.]

Even if "for the common good" makes a bit of sense - from authoritarian government it's just a big excuse to do whatever a Government wants at the expense of Freedoms.

We still need to use Fediverse with less direct links to BigTech sites so they get less revenue from us here clicking links... so it's not YouTube direct links but Redirected links! 🔗 ====> redirect.invidious.io/

ADHD + Drugs supplied sold by system to people... Angry rant but might have good points about ADHD 

An angry rant but might have good points about ADHD for 3 mins... Link jumps to exact place...

The System Wants You to Fail - Dr Umar Johnson - 38.20-41.34

(+3mins enough)
Link jumps to exact place...

CW Disclaimer - Video seems seemingly angry or ranty in presentation (can be seen as angry if you're not able to normalise and just take points) and so can work against reader BUT its for only the content from 38.20m- 41.34m (the rest jumps around topics)

Why I post this is that it's about drugs pushed on people and categorisation of ADHD + Drugs supplied as a business - sold by a system backed by BigPharma etc to people...

And wanted to see what you think as ADD, ADHD, Autism, all seem to be what I / we label people or self-label to say "really fast" or hyper-interested *compared to others* that are perhaps just different in their ability or focus or even slow!

About

Hi there! My name is Craig Maloney. I'm a game designer, interactive storyteller, and a Linux and computer aficionado. I enjoy playing with computers, and have been fortunate to make them not only my hobby, but also part of my work. How cool is that?

Some of my hobbies include programming computers, learning new programming languages, playing the drums, making music, juggling, playing with retro-computers, designing games, and reading.

I actively collect old video game systems and arcade machines (we call them classics around here), and have a strange fascination with places like DigiBarn or Old Computers. I have acquired quite a collection of old computers, primarily machines from the late 1970s to early 1980s.

I have Stage 4 rectal cancer that has spread to my liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. Read more about my journey.

Here's some other places you might run into me:

The Mediocre Programmer is a book I wrote to help programmers move from being beginning programmers to more advanced programmers. I hope you'll check it out.
I design games. (Learn more about my game designs).
I do stuff and make things.
I'm the host of the Open Metalcast podcast (on hiatus), which features the finest in Creative Commons licensed metal music.
I'm the co-host and post-production engineer of Lococast (on hiatus), where Rick Harding and I talk about all things Ubuntu and Python.
I'm on the board of the Michigan UNIX Users Group. Come on out and join us!
I'm one of the co-founders and host of the Royal Oak Coffee House Coders group. We meet once a week to code and socialize.
I currently maintain the wiki for Pepper&Carrot, and am working on a Pepper & Carrot Fate-Based RPG.
I help maintain Tootstream, which is a command-line client for Mastodon.
I publish all of my current projects on framagit, and itch.io. Also check out my projects page. (My presentations are there as well)
I'm a former practitioner of Getting Things Done. I still use end empty my inbox, maintain my lists and do the Weekly Review but I've scaled back on setting goals the GTD way. Most of what I do now is more reflected in Leo Babauta's Zen to Done.

Here's some other ways you can interact with me:

Want to meet with me? Schedule a meeting (Note: I reserve the right to cancel any meetings).
Want to contact me? Head to my contact page.

corporate press. and even the NPR show #PlanetMoney admits that the underwriting that funds public media is not very different from advertising.

@errhead

I don't think it's intelligence. The influence of money over how we think is stronger here than anywhere else. To the greatest degree possible anywhere, we're programmed to be lazy thinkers. Buy shit. Don't question. The 1A is awesome but combined with the worship of capitalism here and how mass media evolved, it allows for a lot of fuckery with the American psyche.

@JeffC1956 @volkris@qoto.org @volkris@mastodon.sdf.org

exactly. which is why I do my podcast with the tagline "liberal values are worth fighting for". we're all limited in understanding and have different philosophies. there has to be a base level of agreement that we will accept other's understandings of the world and perspectives, or action becomes impossible. like the physical world, we have a set of assumptions that our social world will respond within certain bounds. the simplest example might be language.
