yeah I use Arch btw

@strypey *Which grassroot movements do you have in mind?Those I know of are transforming from nearly pointless resistance to Trump (with the effect like screaming at a wall) to proper constructive opposition to Biden.

*Exactly. That's why your first point is pretty off.

*I'd argue keeping democratic elections instead of getting a Trump monarchy has increased the chance of getting her as pres.

@clacke @zacchiro @liw Holy hell. 3049!! I think I might actually have everyone here beat.

Though, to be fair, most of them seem to be .bash_history-*.tmp files. Not sure why these aren't being cleaned up. But, I suspect those need to go.

45 without those temp files. ;)

@jauntywunderkind420 yeah, I think different people need different lessons at different times

I’ve done a lot with my life, but haven’t accomplished much. Focused too much on production and fun and not enough of comfort and joy

@frickhaditcoming Hey, they got humans expend energy propagating their seeds and caring for their offspring, so I guess spiciness worked out even better than they bargained for (in terms of evolutionary advantage).

If there’s one lesson I’d like to teach the world, it’s that sometimes when you’re like “hey I’m tired” the appropriate response is “cool” and not “I need to get over this and force myself to do things”

@orekix A bunch of journalists called it far-right therefore it’s true

Polish instances (as of now):

@dredmorbius @bamfic @kensanata I’m also of the opinion that with new communication tech we are moving into a new magical age of mass reality creation, a Cambrian explosion of willed shared meaning-creation by social groups of every scale.

The brutality and insanity of the present moment’s conspiracy theory and alternate reality cults is a dark iris before a new enchanted age of human artistry through digital/virtual/hypersensory playfulness. If we get thru

@dredmorbius @bamfic @kensanata Everyone is constantly imagining and willing new realities into existence for everyone around them (and always have been). Instead of trying to put the magic back in the bottle, we need to develop safe and consensual and non-coercive ways to practice this mutual willed reality creation together, at the new (global internet) hyper scale and speed.

@Sandra Understood. Please know that's not how it was meant. My apologies.

And I appreciate your sharing without tearing my head off.

I find that views, understandings, backgrounds, assumptions, etc., vary greatly enough, and are sufficiently hard to either express or assess that a bit of calibration and content negotiation is useful.

As much to express "I've been to A, B, C and know X, Y, Z" as to try to assess "OK, you know P, Q, R, so I won't presume to make an ass of myself, if I can help it".

Sorting out what you know, especially in areas I'm weak, and what I might be able to contribute, as well as what we are or aren't interested in, is a big parrt of that.

I've spent a couple of decades independently rediscovering a bunch of stuff ... already known, with possibly 2-3 novel additions of my own. Both falsification and validation are useful.

I too often encounter (online, real life) both resentment at stating something my counterparty (claims to) know, and clear failures to grasp or consider what I've said. Where that gets overloaded with negative emotion, the attempt only gets harder.

(Getting barked at for this recently ... doesn't help, though again maybe it's me.)

Communication is hard. Especially with others.

I've really appreciated this conversation, thanks for jumping in and tolerating me. You've given me ... yet more to read (groan), and think about.

Truly, respect.

@dredmorbius @pluralistic @kensanata Yes, that’s bang on target re corporations’ abuse of externalities, an abuse which is an inherent consequenc of the game theoretical axioms of a supdem qpq market. Internally they have no problem leveraging the efficiency of non-market resource allocation, c.f. Coase’s work on firms.
