"People are not so clever" is the answer to most conversation going wrong / not even starting? Are people *so scared* or insecure (etc...) that Corporations can just tap into an endless source of the same fear and doubt (even about people's own shadow) and play people off each other?... even on Fediverse?
Are people *so scared* or insecure (etc) ? that they think about everything else than the obvious in humans?
Is it like a fear of their own own shadow since they can't take their own agency and give it up for fear?
As time goes on I'm trying to lean less people are the same everywhere... and not really different on Fediverse more than a bit more enlightened...
#Question #Fediverse pretty much same as #Twitter - a bit more clever but same isms / shadow jumping?
--------------------------------
Conversation example below after no answer and time in between:
--------------------------------
●Me●: Did you see the few replies I sent to some of your posts?
●Person X●: Yes, I did. I can't figure out if you're a bot, or what your angle is, or what your goal is. I don't know if you're selling something, or looking for a pen pal, or trying to generate traffic, or what.
●Me● Ok, fair enough with the thoughts, so it's none of those but perhaps the obvious one that we're on social.... and occasionally than means talking... to each other?
How come that normal social isn't in the list and all the far-out seems to be?
Like you post good stuff and expect nothing ?
Honestly surprising after all the genuine interest, but I appreciate your honesty - just tell me you can't do anything but fear like this and I'll go away and leave you to it if you like...
-----------------------------
SERIOUSLY ARE PEOPLE REALLY SO LOW IN EVERYTHING?
Did they buy the propaganda that AI is doing everything already OMG - if it's a tactic people are successfully making it work against others... using what is the same "people are not so clever" endless source.

Be brave... Not fear first... Let someone help... FEAR CONTAMINATES... Being brave allows POSITIVES to the table FIRST...
Be brave... let someone help you if you can't be brave. Not fear first as it contaminates just bringing what you like to the table... and staying with positives...
Let people lead without your fear-creating questions and openly say you're testing time with them.
I don't mind tests without it being your FEAR FIRST.
Withhold all your list of doubts to see how it goes FIRST... !! Simple!
Boost this for yourself as a reminder, even if not for others!

The Newest New Yorkers
Hi! This is Rev…. I’m sending this message to fellow Big Apple citizens, but let me include you in. Lots of you out there are former NYers or you might have other reasons to take interest in our handling of our new friends from afar. Here’s my pitch:
——
LISTEN UP NEW YORKERS. TAKE THE WELCOME OF NEW NEW YORKERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS. (CITY HALL IS IMITATING TEXAS.) IF WE SHARE WHAT WE HAVE - THE NEWCOMERS ARE READY TO GIVE.
“The migrants will destroy New York. And they are coming to a neighborhood near you.” Mayor Eric Adams’ quote is from Donald Trump’s playbook, experimenting with directed fear. He wants us to forget that we are New Yorkers.
As some of you know, the world travelers walked into our downtown world, some of them in flip-flops and t-shirts, not ready for their first northern winter. When we found them freezing in long lines with the city not taking them in, East Village Neighbors Who Care brought out food and clothing. Now 100 West Africans spend their weekdays with the choir in the Earthchxrch, with the same neighbors there helping...
NYC is the wealthiest city, with empty real estate just sitting there. We are approaching full employment. We got jobs. But the newcomers are being confronted with a cynical hostile environment, smacking of the old workfare schemes. They must prove to exhausted civil servants that they are looking for work and a place to live, or they will be left to the streets. This is an obvious Kafka nightmare.
If someone has fled gunmen and journeyed 5,000 miles, and now seeks asylum in the city with Lady Liberty’s torch shining on the waters - is this a helpless free-loader? Hey Eric! Are you afraid of their strength? …their stamina and independence? Are the leaders of tomorrow sleeping on the subway benches?
Simple. This city is made of waves of immigrants. New people arrive and we start working together. New York.

I'm not sure how to solve the lack of #Spirituality #Humanism #Sentientism...
I'd appreciate advice as it seems my life relies on it / you and people without these things makes things worse so it's natural to want to grow these things mentioned...
grow 🖤 ?
I'm not sure how to solve the lack of #Spirituality #Humanism #Sentientism - and how do you feel about it?

"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.
