When you don't want to feed the world
When you just want to feed your bank balance
Wash your guilt away (whitewash)
Unilever washes whiter (whitewash)
Soap to clean those dirty hands
And a slap for the people who work the land

Diminishing returns VS. #Donations 

Was funny / coincidental....

Was looking at Wikipedia page:

of Returns page and coincidentally it showed a donations advert...

Now it's so it's fine but imagine a pay-gate next (like everything else, which is quite logical if people don't like paying through US banks or just don't pay at all being stingy / poor)

I thought this was worth saying as there are a number of valid factors destined to become poor,

And if you like paying through American banks do give)... even if I wouldn't because all the seems to turn out for the worse in the end... (and via US Bank$ mis-managing it all behind your back - sorry but seem seems totally related to and after all)... Peace.

#Wealth is the ladder to becoming poor in the future as a society and then individually again... 

is the ladder to becoming poor in the future...

⬇️ Explained a bit more:

Everything gets more with modern Capitali$m / Bank$ / $tate because:

➡️ ALL = for the getting / "more" money from people (even if it's for less service or even a bad one)

/ / are not caring right ❓

Mostly all uncaring .

Wealth is just a mechanism to take more from people and for them to temporarily feel like they have something while it gets more expensive and $tate / Banks / take full of control.

💬
For the people to see in the future (as if we don't see it now) @freemo to see the real .

===========
|| Picture Text: ||
===========

More expensive = More cost to all
= More cost to keep "wealth" going...
(= increase cost to others)

= More as you and others push up " " / rising prices / / / ...etc!

...as the cost to each other
and by Bank$ and $tate goes up
for greed mostly (because costs force control / power in their favour)
Much like to .

Asking them to jump more for their food, away from , simple safety etc!

@freeschool @invidious

I generally do invest in people directly, just as I do in aggregate. The problem is when you help people one on one your reach has a large impact burt over very few people.

I have many times in my life taken homeless people into my home and invested in them to get a start in life. In some cases they have stayed with me for a year or more, and in some cases I have even paid for their university fees.

About 50% of the time it works out and the money and time is well spent. But I can at most do this for about one person every few years. It doesnt scale well. Sadly if I just give people money 99% of them never achieve anything with it, it only ever works with strong guidance and oversight, and even then at only a 50% rate. So overall while I do find this important due to the small number of people I can reach it isnt typically the bulk of the time and effort I put into helping people anymore. Especially because now investing that time into making large amounts of money I can reach and help far more people

for those investing their life in and not really developing people, Wonder how that's going to turn out.

All in the tech boat perhaps...

Happy Article 50 Day.

8 years ago Theresa May PM unilaterally invoked Article 50 for the UK to withdraw from the EU with barely a debate in Parliament.

This and her red lines from the Mansion House speech, of leaving the Single Market, Customs Union and Freedom of Movement make her the worst Prime Minister ever.

I used the 1-year anniversary of moving my newsletter off of Substack (they monetize Nazis among other things it turns out) to write a few thoughts on the lessons I've learned from the experience.

@garyackerman You should do both. The point of a presentation is to educate, being clear in doing so is important. Being interesting is also important. You need both, a story, but also a clear summary of goals.

Asking good people to make more good people, but not quite getting there + #Quote 

@freemo @invidious In short, I still don't understand why specifically and others don't invest in people more directly to get the best out of them or make the biggest change...

They obviously feel it / talk about it often enough and the related thoughts online which confirm that.

But I quote Freemo again using the 💬 symbol below.

The quote was part of this thread which jumps some topics and is not needed to read it all - the gist is this question why:

- Why of more a better and and movement are not done at all more personally when people obviously see and feel how useful it is to mentor people in various ways (not just all-in mentorship but dedicated etc as a related social movement (between people also and not just ) ? ❓

Specifically this quote below is what I mean (in a non-attacking and respected way) - but why Freemo and others perfectly suited who do believe just somehow *don't invest* in people or doing less the direct thing and go for more commercial tech etc things - it just PUZZLES ME since commercial things rarely increase the personal understanding or love or trust in others when it's mostly "just business" between them... and anyway they have done that so could do a bit of something else or hand it off to others as a test...

Freemo:
💬 :freemo: "I agree that to really improve it requires one on one , , and between people.

The only thing to keep in mind is QOTO, and the greater around it, has a mission that has always been very STEM oriented. "

So you see paragraph 1 and 2 said in that same ARE quite paradoxical and even opposites cutting off possibility almost of something non-tech (of course the quote is a narrow quote) but also keep in mind I seen more and have asked Freemo but a branch-off or tangent of a another type with more people focus or orientation doesn't seem to happen naturally (even as a compliment to existing projects under my own measurable results). Why still no investment (Time, money, mind power..) same as anything tested since it would cost very little of each and just to see what happens under the QOTO 'stamp of approval' to give it the it need to start and see what happens (again measurable by peoples reactions / experience) .

Please forget my longer writings in this thread (which is not needed),,,

Just on the basis of this text... why not try yourself or enable me / others, under your minor watch to allow something small-scale to use a bit of your backing and existing respect as a kickstarter to give it a chance?

Just see what happens and 'something' (grow people / better mentality potentially etc)

Thanks as always
and any people out there...

We do need something else other better social orientated / progressive ,... rather than same Tech or company ()...

Progress WINS vs Understanding en masse - Is Humanity Fatally Successful ? #Quote 

Progress without understanding (Progress wins en masse)

Progress without understanding,,, basically needed

"Progress" always wins en masse...

💬 " William Rees wrote in “Is Humanity Fatally Successful ?” or as Albert Bartlett says, “to understand the function.” This shows the impossibility of achieving a “critical mass” of public understanding in time to accomplish all but the most minuscule attempts at population control, resource sustenance and biosphere caring necessary for our continued (sustainable) survival. ”

Firestorm Books

On Thursday, April 3rd we'll be hosting Boff Whalley, a founding member of the anarcho-punk / folk band Chumbawamba, on tour with his new book "BUT: Life Isn't Like That, Is It?" It's a book about stories, and a book of stories, in which Boff explores how the tales we encounter in films, novels, and plays aren't the same as the ones we experience in the real world, and how disruptions stop our lives from following simple narratives.

For folks who aren't able to join us in-person, this event will also be livestreamed at youtube.com/c/FirestormCoop (no registration necessary).

Find more about this event, and copies of "BUT: Life Isn't Like That, Is It?" check out the event page at firestorm.coop/events/3345-bof
