Is anyone so desperate to connect that they would answer to a plea to connect with no further information?

@admitsWrongIfProven Connect how? Is this like a "I need someone to talk to" type thing? Because if so, yes I'm _very_ lonely

@OpenComputeDesign We all are. The problem is we generally tend to hate stuff, and i have no idea how to turn that around. Are you down to stay on topic and further love? Like invest work to roll back all the hate?

@admitsWrongIfProven I have gotten so bogged down in hate. Hate of all kinds. It's dragged my life down a murky well I don't know if I can escape.

You sir(?), have as noble of a goal as can be had. Godspeed, and I will do my best to follow

Follow

@OpenComputeDesign There is no need to follow.
Sir, Madam, weird blob. It makes no difference. You have the right idea, so why follow me?
If you have a good idea, just @ me and all is well. There is no need for me to be the one others "follow".

If you want people to get along, i like you.

So if you have any epiphany, i would love to hear, if you have an idea how we might get people to love instead of hate, out with it.

Shoot me all your ideas about what is wrong, what we could do.

We shall feel helpless together.

@OpenComputeDesign So tell me, what is the one primary problem we have? The thing stopping us from living in peace?

@admitsWrongIfProven I don't know. I'm something of a pessimistic idealist (that is, an idealist who's burnt out and lost his faith)

I kinda wanna say a big problem is how everyone always seems to think they're right. But I don't want to sew the seeds of self doubt, either. Especially as I and I know many other people suffer from both at once.

Fear is another thing that brings so much distrust and violence. But is as often well founded as it is misplaced, it seems.

So I really don't know

@OpenComputeDesign I can see the lack of compromise ("think they are right") amongst people that have little to say, yes. And fear surely is a powerful tool for those in power.

It is interesting how the perspective changes depending on who you ask. I usually look on a different level, this is a good reminder to not narrow my views.

On the well founded fear, i don't see many sources there. If people are brought into bad situations and then bad things happen, it's still only who brought on the bad situation i can reasonably hold responsible.
