#Aristotle quote about #QOTO
(I mean a #quote on #Politics !)

I guess Aristotle understood how sterile things can get when so much 'could be good' or as isolated tools are very good but when regulated (divided) and restricted (rules) they are only 'good' mostly for money-making and taking tax % from all transactions... so towards centralizing power - not really much else as the main lead in life as people come and go and it's even more centrailsed...

" Before this election, I asked successive #Tory governments if they would create safe routes for asylum seekers.

I did not receive an answer.

Yesterday, I asked a Labour government if it would create safe routes for asylum seekers.

I did not receive an answer. "

Lots of pandering and politeness and not enough reality - respect for hierarchy is what this is usually based on,,,,

Fear feeds others (bullies and bosses)...

And people feed it to them!

If you think about any kind of project - you need mass.

And also users start acting up / finding shitty things to do if you don't give them something to do.

DEEPER / ALT VERSION OF THE ABOVE:

And if you don't "align" people in a kind of human way (through constant talking, heart, mind, soul) and after that down the line getting close to assimilating ourselves (humanity as one species as part of the same whole) then you get people frustrated from not being listened to as individual (yes every single one needs listening to) and people get angry and from lack of better example or training, act up.

Summary
So you users as a challenge or problem either way (same as in life, can't be too defensive, you will lose it all).

THE ANSWER INVOLVES:

1/ Accepting the problem, deal with emotions more personally and through others, some trained some learning from the observing of these things.

2/ Make a way for 2 way communication and not just TEXT as the medium (it loses humanness). So audio and video for those that want and like it / accepting the risk and audio is probably best of all worlds.
Again can't just have text only world and audio over internet to reach human voice is the way.

3/ Continue an education and advice so it's like a school - not just free space.
Everything is political (meaning personal choice with some or no understanding) so it's on us to level up everything indirectly and occasionally directly - to really set things straight.

4/ Use mass and you users for their skill - a lot they offer but simply people haven't taken it - find a way but again humanly else you become cold and so does the work a bit like #Capitalsim.

5/ The real work is "the people work" of communication and interaction WITH each other) and everything else falls into place after that...

More later... #Freeschool

#Admins - User the #user mass better in more areas - "Without the users you're fucked / have #problems also!"

Ok this phrase sounds like something new enough / unsaid enough on it's own so for my reference also I put that line here an say..,

...invisible forces that run the country...

... Yes that's when you get so close to do what is really unwanted by those really in a lot of power (perhaps not direct power but accumulatively - like stopping banks or getting close to regulating the automotive industry for seal-bets <--- many things were a so bullied and illogical back then before they got standardised or focused on by #RalphNader who single-handed almost did all the work suicidal as he is!
#Bigtech or #BigAuto - with inventors or whole crews dying... sure every one was an accident !

...invisible forces that run the country..." yes they will surely will do something about things...

The link is about president assassination theory but no need visit link if you had enough theory... it's just to say I took half a line from here:

More if you want it:
All money was loaned to start and then bank loaned 2-10 times more than it actually has (not just what's sitting in your account as a free loan to them but virtually loaning more by getting more people to sign "I promise to pay bank back more" putting responsibility on people who sign for a house loan over 30yrs for example and pay TONS of interest meanwhile as money devalues not making things better)

Money as a loan to start or virtual amount from a loan means a lot of virtual / created number (not necessarily money just numbers!) -

in fact quite possibly all of it now is JUST NUMBERS from the different "RESET" and bank bail outs in this century alone (public pot$ taken and given to bank to equalise what banks could not pay themselves from making so much "money" !!

🏦 A Bank or loan shark 🦈 (!) is basically a shop for "selling money" even if it does other more minor functions.

Am I wrong David #Graeber ? (RIP)
or those that know more / have read #DavidGaeber ?

Swearing gets people attention where other ways fail.

Kind cool and depend how much you care with a measure load of kung-FU you can make a nicer mix if getting ignored and authority ignoring you! Just know what to do after swearing :)

Usually perfection is not needed either. And you can achieve getting over the hill and then work onward from that level. But if you plan too much in one go, sometimes it's a non-starter:

- Time just passes endlessly and you did 0) + these other reasons

+ it can be a different playing field once you get to there to an nth step - so can waste your planning stage too (you didn't need all the equipment you thought)

+ others don't see what you are doing (if you started earlier) and don't join

+ more things

Perfection I found stops others who don't do things (at all) when perfection is mind. They feel they have to shoot 10 targets in a row with 1 shot or they fail.
It has to be such a clean synthetic job that that though itself is opposite to nature (it's not 100% synthetic or should be bleach white all the time!)

So getting has dirty and even 'wasting shots' (using more ammo / attempts to do something) makes sense since we are also fragmenting work - so while in grass and plants I am in that mode and mood to do something else.

If can keep thinking and time slicing, then that is "perfection" enough without needing to call it that

Sorry, we couldn't find any humans here you can talk to. They all think doing "family" and "job" thinking that is enough while the rest burns. 🔥

Your family and mine, same - really.
At least working towards that. Which means talking / improving comms.

Don't wait for enemies to come to you. We *have to* make friends (!)
You and your bank account (made from debt creation) is not going to save you or your children for long.

Examples (maybe not the best):

Big bags of rice 10kg vs. 10 x 1kg packs... Maybe not against the whole thing of smaller but when it's only small and not big that's bad choice and economy.

Also if it's to encouraging people to re-visit by selling small then that's a my idea of #Fuckery (which is my word claim like #Enshitification even though it's not a totally new word but never seen it used here or hashtagged)

👵 Maybe for old ladies who can't handle 5kg / 10kg (or have relatives to buy big bags) but only 1kg in ships (if that's the case) isn't great...

and overall is just general example of Capitalism where it introduces, then makes money when it knows people need /want something... even though it continue without these added tactics (price could go up but not as testing on human mice)

#MONEY AND #POWER #INVERTED - Inviting people to take over by using money

When you respect and use money so highly, it's not far from inviting yourself to be taken over eventually.

All things being bought and sold leads to bigger things being bought and sold (like who villages, that kind of thing where 1 person makes a decision and like the #Go game pieces, where all the colours are flipped when that one piece at the ends are changed - the colour or makes a decision one day changes everything or simply re-labels it even though a village can stay simingly the same).

Imagine that Thailand is now overrun by China / Chinese or just external money.

America (or any powerhouse which outputs money) also has the same in other places... if the dollar is dominant, then it can literally pull like string and make places crumble by their use of money.

SCARY BUT IF WE WISE UP WE CAN MINIMIZE THE POWER OF MONEY AND LOOK FOR WAYS MORE LOCALLY OR NOT ALL-IN MONEY. Even shops from abroad etc... all helps them and takes money out usually of places while just paying high rents which locals also can't pay (think Starbucks on high street pushing rents up because USA can pay it)

Give people what they want to do, else they will surely find something else (sometimes creating bad work or complaining instead of fulfilling their strengths which yes you have to invest in exploring)
