Freedom=Growing Each Other @freeschool@qoto.org
It's about opening / changing minds...
Growing each other like healthier biology & plants.
FreeSchool = Learning / Respecting / Loving / Teaching ourselves like what your parents didn't tell you (the truth / reality) and then walking through it together, warts and all.
Yu can build your mind better.
Set your notification bell 🔔 for me (after follow is accepted) and do it as you go along.... even with any disagreement. Can't stop the first bad thing you see...
Logic, Consent and Emotional Intelligence to use on ourselves with understanding and not just manipulate people in cold world and typical ways.
This takes time... do it "as you go".
All is about progressing our mindset especially against bastards and short-cutters (this includes dev's that don't care) so that the underlying mindwork (and even love between the people) is there and not dangerously sold out / using underlying cold system, with cold people, who have near-0 people skills and only maintain a nicer looking reality which in practise shit on people on the while.
Serving anyone who wants to explore, develop themself and others. We have to improve communication (nothing can last without that). Without comms it's more nearly towards fascism / ultimatums / rug pulls / constant "oh gee it happened again, let is not do anything about it".
Rebuilding things like the mind again is hard but a component check is necessary and one gets better as time goes on (not the opposite in using quick-fixes that undo us over time).

I can help add #bestpractices and inspire what is best from what I know and have seen... If not UNFOLLOW (it's ok but do stick with one or two people more daily).
The participation of people is needed, else we give power away to others that do not care or care much less than we do for people around us directly or from distance.
#FreeSchool #Answers = Friendship as a Solution
On a basic level I would like to make friends because I think this is the way to solving everything eventually which the many can do, and at the same time solves everything else (solving without friendship or just donating isn't always good).
That's all for now. It's boring alone. Let's live this together!

Family business fell in the hole in lockdown.
When you start a physical location business, you know the first couple years you work for the landlord. You make no money for yourself. You cannot make yourself an employee because you cannot pay yourself.
What happens when locked down?
You still pay landlord every month: no relief. But you cannot earn money to pay the landlord. You cannot get the money from unemployment because you never paid yourself. You cannot get the PPP loan because you have no employees. The grants only go to established businesses who will use it to remodel rather than survive.
Many small business are bootstrapped by owners foregoing a salary for 2-5 years. These people were trapped with no money for food while low-income workers were paid more than before to stay home and not work.
One of the stories no one talked about.
This is how to radicalize.

No Way Out - John Zerzan (notes on life's "original trauma")
( No Way Out - John Zerzan, 2003 )
The title too reflecting my existence somewhat...
The 'original trauma' rings true in the Agricultural sense and other things mankind has iterated.
------------------------------------------------------------
THE REST BELOW IS MY NOTES
...FROM JOHN ZERZAN AND PICS ATTACHED
------------------------------------------------------------
Agriculture encloses, controls, exploits, establishes hierarchy and resentment.
Chellis Glendinning (1984) described agriculture as the 'original trauma' that has devastated human psyche, social life, and the biosphere.
... human reason is no longer neutral
... our reason imprisons our true humanity, while destroying the natural world.
How else to account for the fact that human activity has become so inimical to humans, as well as other earthy species?
This disease of reason, which interprets reality as an amalgamation of instruments, resources, and means, adds an unprecedented and uncontrolled measures of domination.
...reason's "neutrality" was missing from the start. Meanwhile we are taught to accept our condition.
Division of labor gives effective power to some, while narrowing or reducing the scope of all.
...in only 10,000 years, the rapid descent into a civilised lifeway.
...With civilisation, how it is is how it's always been. Russel Hoban's 1980 novel, Ridley Walker, provides keen insight into the logic of civilisation. What some call progress, the narrator calls Power...
The contrast with 1000's of generations of forager (hunter-gatherer) life is staggering.
There is no dispute that these ancestors put sharing at the center of their existence.
Aka people of Africa... Mbuti people addressed greetings to "Mother Forest, Father Forest".
It appears that societies organized on a truly human scale fell victim to the exigencies of domestication.
*** It may be that we can only solve the planet's overpopulation problem by removing the root cause of basic estrangement from one another. ***
People used fire for cooking 1.9 million years ago; and built and sailed seagoing vessels at least 800,000 years ago!
These people must have been intelligent...
To re-present reality involves a move to a complete, closed system, of which language is the most obvious example and perhaps the original instance.
Whence this will to create systems, to name and count? Why this dimension that looks suspiciously like instrumental reason, with its essentially dominating core?
Language is routinely portrayed as a natural and inevitable part of evolution. Like division of labor, ritual, domestication, religion?
"In the beginning was the Word" - the convening of the symbolic domain. After Eden's freedom was revoked, Adam named the animals and the names /were/ the animals. In the same way Plato held that the word /creates/ the thing. There is a moment if linguistic agreement, and from then on categorized frame is imposed on all phenomena.
...Many languages start out rich in verbs, but are gradually undone by the more common imperialism of the noun.
This parallels the movement to a steadily more reified world, focusing on objects and goals at the expense of process.
Symbolic modes may begin with some freshness and vitality, but eventually reveal their actual poverty, their inner logic.
The innate sensual acuity of human infants steadily a trophies as the grow and develop interaction with a symbolic culture to infiltrate and monopolise most aspects of our lives.
In the case of anarchy, there is an awareness that living in equality with each other humans necessitates the rejection of all forms of domination, including leadership and pitical representation.
"Animism" refers to the extention of that awareness to other life forms and even to "inanimate" dwellers on the planet, such as rock, clouds, rivers.
The fact there is no word related to animism, analogous to anarchy, is an index of how distanced we are from this awareness, in our present state.
Green anarchy explicitly states that anarchy must embrace the community of living beings, and in this sense takes a step toward reawakening this awareness.
...While the fundamental reasons for the community's loss go unrecognised and unmitigated.
...as with Aka and Mbuti described above, feelings of oneness with earth and all its inhabitants, as a sense of the joy and meaningfulness of existence, seem to flourish when we have humans live in egalitarian, face-to-face groups.
...in fact reality is decisively mediated by language.
Postmodernism ups the ante in two ways.
1...Because language is basically a self-referential system, Postmodernism avers, language cannot really involve meaning.
2...there is only language (as there is only civilization); there is no escape from a world defined by language games (and domestication).
The ultimate in representation is the current "society of the spectacle" described so vividly by Guy Debord. We now consume the image of living; life has passed into the stage of its representation, as a spectacle.
Has there ever been so much incessant yammer about democracy, and less real interest in it? To represent or be represented is a degradation, a reduction, both in the sense of symbolic culture and in terms of power.
To quote Riddley Walker (novel)..."let go"...
"the onlyes power is no power". The heart of anarchy.
Instead, technology and it's accomplice, culture, must be met by a resolute autonomy and refusal that looks at the whole span of human presence and rejects all dimensions of captivity and destruction.
------------
Final thought:
I really like the idea of decreasing population (or saving existing people & saving energy) by reducing "estrangement from one another."

Just for old times' sake, my petition to allow US and UK trans and nonbinary people fleeing transphobic laws and a potential genocide to claim asylum in Canada? Well, it closes in just under one week. At the moment, we're about sixteen thousand signatures short of the second-most signatures on any Canadian petition to the government. Ever.
So I'm gonna send this around one more time, with the hope that Canadians will see it, sign it, and pass it along. You will need a Canadian address (a real one) to fill out the form.

Here’s the hidden truth of education:
You don’t know what you’re preparing for.
Your teaching doesn’t know. Your future employer doesn’t know. Nobody knows. Not really. What you’re preparing for might not even exist yet. We •hope• it doesn’t exist yet: don’t we educate students in the hope that they will make the world better by changing it? By creating realities that don’t even exist yet?
