Fear... To control people, there has to be punishment involved...
" Fear.
The whole system does not stand up without fear. "
"To control people, there has to be punishment involved. Or the very real threat of it."

#HumanNature - We need more than family or job connections... and avoid distance or put-downs between us...
#HumanNature - can keep others at a distance in various ways naturally.
#Relationships need work constantly and human energy to be maintained - or else they get cold 🔫 🥶
If not working on #loving each other it can soon be the opposite or slowly slide downwards... 🗻
Truth is many didn't know how to do #connection other than the default family bloodline type or work #colleagues extensions as the only other relationships
- rather extending more to do it with everyone without only heavy #attachments so it doesn't fall apart when family or job changes...
#Community falls apart when not embracing #new people to help them individually (and the individual to help community also).

@freeschool Read this book and you may discover that the "system" you think you are fighting has already manipulated all parties in the struggle. You are up against the technocratic authoritarians & surveillance state. The colours red & blue and their respective teams are just a mirage to disable all resistance under the illusion of choice.
I did it! My book on the history of the #Atari Jaguar is finished and freely available for download over at archive dot org. It took me a while to get there, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you will appreciate and enjoy it as well. Let me know what you think and I would be thankful if you would share this post.
Edit: Second edition.
Ramble about Strictly Limited Games
If I may give a recommendation to those of you who might be interested: Do not buy from Strictly Limited Games. I ordered Steel Empire Chronicles 1,5 years ago, and it is still not in production. There was one lousy mail regarding this that I almost forgot already. So I asked them to either tell me when this is gonna happen or refund me. They did neither, but at least responded in a timely manner. Now I replied and hope that I'll get a least my money back. Looking over at TrustPilot, I saw that I am not the only one having issues with them. If it wasn't clear that the concept of paying for something you can maybe get in maybe a few months isn't a good one before, now it's pretty evident to me. I had some fun with Limited Run Games before, but at least they always delivered and I didn't wait more than a year. Still, that was already not my cup of tea. But I thought: SLG is a German based company, so this should work out way smoother. Well ... no. The idea has just turned into companies that run on Kickstarters that aren't Kickstarters, basically: Money up front and we'll see what we can do afterwards. This is some late stage capitalism madness 😂. But even if you as a company decide to hang out your customers to dry, at least have the courtesy to communicate! Tell us on where it's at with a game that can't be shipped. And for that - funny side note mentioned in their response to me - I should subscribe to their newsletter, as if it would help me in any way reading new Ford brochures if my ordered vehicle did not arrive as ordered. You get the idea. Too bad, I once liked the idea very much. From now on, if you come my way with anything that includes exchanging money for a ticket on a waiting list basically, I will bid you adieu 😎

🧠 #Psychology and showing your #Mentality and #Mindset is probably the hardest things to do. But most needed.
It probably seems the riskiest to empty and put it on the table but actually nobody cares or there are too many...
So if people *could* care actually this can open up sharing inside the mindset that can keep some of us together who are dedicated to repairing things (people actually). We're all #XMen who need a bit of tuning.
And that's the point. PEOPLE ARE WHAT NEED REPAIR MORE THAN EVER. ⚙️

Five years of no flying
✈️ ❌ ➡️ 🚅 ✅
5 years ago, I realised that my #academic travels were emitting way too much #greenhouse #gas #GHG (up to 20 t #CO2 / yr) and hence that my #professional activity was not #sustainable. I thus decided to completely ban air #travel (#plane) and travel mainly by #train within #Europe.
5 years later (i.e. now), my professional travels' #carbonfootprint dropped by **a factor 50**, without impacting my #publication records (compared to 2017 - 2019).
I wrote a post for the #blog of @a4e about my experience. Check it out: https://astronomersforplanet.earth/five-years-of-no-flying/

“workers at the facility, located near Manesar in the state of Haryana, were asked to take verbal pledges not to take breaks, including for drinking water or using the toilet, until they met their targets for the day.”
Hey, reminder that there are still Amazon workers striking in 20 countries, through Cyber Monday.
So don’t cross the picket line. Shop somewhere else.

Mostly Fediverse #Quotes #Notes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites for a more Human-caring world - not hating only... so it's a better example of ourselves and what we could do in loving things we all share and mostly care for (not everyone I know).
My interests constantly change according to what interests others and I assist in ANY way possible if noble enough. Finding relativity between people I think more directly is the way and NOT just developing computers. DEVELOPING PEOPLE ALSO.
Working together is the answer - I'm sure of if you want *human* change then it's humans developing HUMANS not just computers.
It's a cruel and long road but better than tech #rugpulls we see all the time and need better decision-makers. Time to design something more personal to humans and cared for. Re-design / Upgrade own CPU's.

Towards Togetherness. Agree?
===================
So let's build whatever we can, the best we can. without rugpullers.
Perhaps building friendship at the end is 'it' and can win it for all of us rather than paranoia and not trying to gel together.
Making our own relationship with life rather than shying away leaving it to people hating Trump / Bezos / Musk and spreading news of their actions that self-perpetuates itself more than work on something else.
This profile and life is the work of the heart and mind. We have enough material and tech mostly. Now to evolve the mind a bit more and catch up with the lessons and psychology.

"FreeSchool" is a movement from 1960s/1970s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Learning via interaction means there is always risk by the way. By not building trust or working on mutually worknig together inaction happens and lack of friendship also allows bad people... so I see us as doing the work more daily or as the good homework we need to do (nobody else can do it properly without us).
MORE DETAIL BELOW IF NEEDED...
BUILD YOURSELF AND ME (DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHOLE WORLD)...
All aims should be towards working together more personally instead of hating, because most of the hating is free advertising and spreading fear for them ("Bad news is still good advertising)
This means less spreading Trumps, Musk, Bezos names and plans, and more our thing.
Humans change Humans - we the caring people reason better as we have a caring soul and a conscience. We also need to test and repair those that can't. Tech does not care and has it's limits at best which I think we have akready reached and in danger of leaving people behind over-doing I.T.
========================================
Do you have work for me or any ideas / dreams of your own?
========================================
Going towards growing better decision-making humans as a main goal or my interpreration (human-educated examples helping others help others) and not just tech filters of progression / aggression / profit.
Tech has measurably been over-done and had it's limits being backed by BigTech and State-orientatedand heavily regulated infrastructures. This ultimately undoes this and is are not human-caring and just money / profit-orientated the same as the state and companies are.
All $tates use bank$ that cheat everyone else behind their back.
Every $tate let's this happen to keep unfair power over people and keep them down.
I have DIY education more than any Massive Tech-based $haring. We have enough small solutions. We just need to do the human homework together which is what almost nobody is doing and it shows! We canNOT just do tech, we can maintain some tech but then grow the user's interests and direction using caring people and releasing their potential and curating ourselves... Since the mentlaity of people (users) are the weak point of all systems (who are happy to abuse them / add adverts etc) so it means working on ourselves is the best now we have mostly everything else worked on to catch up on the mentality and also realise all the tricks historically.
☼ Free work if you can justify it +
#Friendship (it's for humanity and world too to grow friendship). I edit basic text, audio, video for free to grow the idea of Freedom or not just banks and money made to give us crutches after they break our legs / eat our time and money (energy).
