'customers' and 'consumers'...

@greenpete Interesting point.

Was thinking at the same time that 'as usual' things do happen over time or they were always about profit just on a smaller scale before - now just a monster version with different levels of it in the modern day (cut-throat) business (that was always there, state being the constant root usually).

So it was always "business" #extraction / #domination / extended #monopoly of #extraction... though not everyone as a business had access or dreams of it that way... but over time everyone learned all the other #business tricks and used even more tools that kind of messed up their #customers and consumers (we were always both even in uneven levels) with how everything it because too #efficient or #redirected or #impersonal / #imported etc...

I think major steps to what you said and what I say here were something like:

2000s = Broadband mass-installed by state / companies. Exploration and habits change.

2008 = Major Banks crash / bail-outs + effects after happen...

20?? = Less variation of jobs / cuts in funding by state for "non-essentials" (like a "poor artists" type thing where main tree of funding is constantly cut / isn't there any more making people more dependent or somehow funneling them)

2010 = Social media really kicking in / dominating even resistant / distant countries

2020 COVID as a kind of forced #consumption / paying themselves to cause more risk / experiment #damage [=more #business] - and masks / vaccines as basic

2020+ Various wars (economic also) as part of pulling people's taxes in and overall focus as country to generally go to war (price war, arms, anything).

Just a quick reply (saw you didn't have any - or did you get some response?)

It's interesting but overall always we were customers and consumers - just we locked in a lot more which also ties into people...

What’s coming is a world where #imperial #violence is “#rational,” managed by #experts, justified by #security or #progress. The final mutation of #colonial #capitalism: a #technocratic, #global #totalitarianism with no outside.

In the wake of the current #leftist #libertarian #wokeist #hypothesis, the rise of the far #right #antithesis is inevitable.

It is to be seen if #intelligent #rational #minds will succeed in creating an #evolutionary #synthesis.

Dialectical idealism is a #philosophical systems of thought developed by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich #Hegel.

Ever wondered why smart, sane people can fall for outrageous #conspiracy theories like the Flat #Earth? In this video, we delve into the psychology behind why even highly #intelligent individuals can end up believing in nonsense. From #cognitivebiases to #socialinfluences, we explore the mechanisms that can lead #rational minds astray.

This goes in the same bin as #logical and #rational in my frequently used funny-sexy-cool test. Only other people can decide if you're #funny or #sexy or #cool. Not only do you not get to make that judgement about yourself, it's a terrible mistake to try—because the more you announce to people that you are that thing, the less likely they are to see you that way. Show, don't tell.

Many desirable characteristics, including #logic and #rationality and #empathy, work the same way. I *try* to be empathetic, and as far as I can tell from the reactions of the people around me, I succeed most of the time. And I trust many of them to tell me if I'm being a self-centered jerk. But being "an #empath" isn't an inborn characteristic. It's a *behavior*—and like all good behaviors, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

I just published Intelligence Vs Wisdom: Or why can’t we have both?

I also learned the hard way that Medium doesn't let you put mathematical equations into your blog, using LaTeX or otherwise.

(Maybe I will just draw and photograph next time)

Bei vernünftiger Absicherung hätte es weder die #CrowdStrike+#Windows shice gegeben und jene von @AufstandLastGen wären beim #Einbruch|sversuch von der #Bundespolizei mit gezogener Waffe verhaftet worden...

Allein wegen der Möglichkeit das einer der Warnwesten-Wichteln ne Handgranate o.ä. reinschmuggelt und gegen nen Tanklaster beim auftanken wirft...

Insbesondere weil #Russland recht offen Leute für sowas anwirbt - nicht nur in der #Ukraine - weil für #Putin & sein Regime sind wir "Kriegsteilnehmer"!

Aber okay, dafür gibt's wohl jetzt mehr #Angstkultur & #Entrechtung nicht nur bei #Fluggästenyoutu.be/-LDzOi1dyAA

#LetzteGeneration sind genau die Art von "#NützlicheIdioten" die #Cyberfaschist*innen in der #Bundesregierung, #EU (besonders #Zensursula, #vollVOSSten & Co.) und #Opposition (#NSAfD, #CDU / #CSU) wollen, da diese "Angriffe auf #KRITIS" verüben und damit mehr #Polizeistaat und #Überwachungsstaat unter Beifall durchs #Stimmvieh legitimieren!!!

Nur soweit denken die nicht, weil die naivlich glauben dass die Masse für #Fakten und #Rationalität zu haben sind und nicht nicht von #Polemik und #Hetze manipulieren lassen. Jede*r der #BLÖD / #BILD, #COMPACT & Co. liest ist doch ein Gegenbeweis dafür, dass viele Menschen eben nicht #rational handeln ider gar wählen...

Und somit haben die es wieder geschafft, dass die Masse "Sauer auf die falschen Leute" ist...

I don't fit very well in other people's boxes and packages. □ ⌂ ▲ ◊ ♥ ◊ ▲ ⌂ □

Other people's measurements and metrics are for their directives, objectives and rational.... They lose me almost completely as a result and should involve me and people, more willing to debate about what we are doing and who it's for...?

(ANSWER: for us and the next generations...?)

Ask yourself why you are doing what you do.

NYU psychologist Jonathan Haidt used a powerful analogy to explain the emotional and the rational. The emotional side is the elephant and the rational side is the rider. The rider of the elephant looks like he or she is in charge, but when there is a disagreement between the elephant and the rider, the elephant usually wins.

I was all of seven years old, attended Sunday School regularly, but when the teacher announced this change to the pledge I was appalled. I thought "this is not church! Why say that here?" I think I probably said it for a while, but as time went by I never changed that opinion. I stopped saying those two words well before it dawned on me that the whole "god" thing was mythology.

@gisiger Das stimmt natürlich. Nur, weil man nicht an Gottheiten glaubt, muss man nicht unbedingt davon ausgehen, dass es auf der Welt insgesamt mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Dennoch zeigen die Daten, dass Personen, die angeben, keiner Religion anzugehören, zu einem kleineren Teil an Übernatürliches glauben. Und wir bei @freidenken setzen uns natürlich insgesamt für Evidenzbasiertheit ein. Deshalb auch unsere Tagline #säkular - #humanistisch - #rational.

@VoxofGod I'm guessing you asked because you've noticed that rational fractions (like 1/3,1/4, etc.) require a terminating sequence of digits in some number bases and an infinite, but repeating pattern of digits in others.
