"</p><p>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 <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/attention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>attention</span></a> it need to start and see what happens (again measurable by peoples reactions / experience) .</p><p>Please forget my longer writings in this thread (which is not needed),,,</p><p>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? </p><p>Just see what happens and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/grow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grow</span></a> 'something' (grow people / better mentality potentially etc)</p><p>Thanks as always <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Freemo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freemo</span></a><br>and any <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/conscious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conscious</span></a> people out there... </p><p>We do need something else other better social orientated / progressive <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/movements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movements</span></a>,... rather than same Tech or company <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/progression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>progression</span></a> (<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/aggression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aggression</span></a>)...</p>

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/russell-bertrand/75565/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Bertrand Russell</b></a></p><blockquote>I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more. This is due partly to having discovered what were the things that I most desired, and having gradually acquired many of these things. Partly it is due to having successfully dismissed certain objects of desire — such as the acquisition of indubitable knowledge about something or other — as essentially unattainable. But very largely it is due to a diminishing preoccupation with myself. Like others who had a Puritan education, I had the habit of meditating on my sins, follies, and shortcomings. I seemed to myself — no doubt justly — a miserable specimen. Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection.</blockquote><p><b>Bertrand Russell</b> (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher<br><i>Conquest of Happiness</i>, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/russell-bertrand/75565/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/russell-bertrand/755…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=BertrandRussell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BertrandRussell</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=puritanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>puritanism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=acquisitions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acquisitions</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=attention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>attention</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=desire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>desire</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=enjoyment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enjoyment</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=externalities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>externalities</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=focus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>focus</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=happiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>happiness</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=living" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>living</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfabsorption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfabsorption</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfcriticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfcriticism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfdeprecation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfdeprecation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfloathing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfloathing</span></a></p>

Even they are going for some very aims of bettering people according to their own sites or profile descriptions! But question why you even message them (not a good start / shows bad faith from beginning).</p><p>=========================</p><p>Below explains more why this quote is here and perhaps why life is not working in a longer sense of nobody solving it (Tech can be as the assistant while people do the people work but not expecting Tech to do the people work)....</p><p>THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS POST - WILL CLEAN UP AS I RE-DO / IMPROVE BUT MOSTLY ALL IS HERE...</p><p>=========================</p><p>...And a minor play on words for the word "lie" helps me start to explain things hopefully more memorably for any reader... </p><p>To help me explain the seemingly 'strange' phenomenon of making better people daily as a daily habit, I decided to added a hashtag on the the word <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/lie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lie</span></a> above (in the quote)...</p><p>⬆️ Did you notice that? ⬆️ </p><p>...This <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/lie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lie</span></a> helps me start to explain that I think all the code / machines / external <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> in the world is really becoming an increasing <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/lie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lie</span></a> to people and measurably so as results - directly and indirectly...</p><p>And even if people can also "lie" or choose to be bad, people can't do it so often if they themselves don't believe in it . AND THAT IS CRUCIAL. </p><p>With tech you can do a lot more or a lot quicker or lie about it differently as a cover for many more reasons. </p><p>I can plug your code into other things and even run it all day and the tech doesn't know the difference - becoming a horror of code eventually (even if it's great now) like a horror of the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Transformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transformers</span></a> cartoon series as too many transformers have been added together and didn't know when to do more quality code and are lop-sided code production became <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/human" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>human</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/dysfunction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dysfunction</span></a> (forgive a bit of poetic license).<br>It was always going to be human <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/destiny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>destiny</span></a> from over-doing machine code even without those putting it together deliberately in their own order as another weapon. We see from <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> enough that we had lots of chances in life for not using things for bad or solving other things, but we have to assume all tech is going to be used for same bad eventually and in many more ways. The wars definitely didn't stop and computers are largely part of that and human ignorance.</p><p>So while I'm not saying "don't create anything" and not saying that "bad people will never exist after this". still it's better people, practice and do more regularly the examples we wish to see which means less of this abuse, or more checks, and limits it to individuals who even if they are bad have much harder work for them to maintain that bad which things like Tech helps them to do easier and even hide behind. </p><p>⬆️ Can I rest my case or do you disagree totally what need more time? (people or tech)</p><p>That's why Tech can be MUCH more of a lie than people lying to each other.<br>Because <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> has nearer-0 ability to <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/care" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>care</span></a> and no matter how much you tell <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/hammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hammers</span></a> (or hammers of code) not to be used badly on others someone else can insert it to do bad. </p><p>'Bad' also in another sense that depends on two people or people in the room respecting those personalities and souls of the people not just a rigid "standard" set of rules even of a moral kind because there are 100 ways people can do things and achieve same result still good for everyone. Binary fascism or just inaccuracy from listing all of attributes / we're not just a number or 1 category of people as "White" etc etc...</p><p>Tech is not good at customising in these ways or that between people (tech becomes the incorrect focus instead)..</p><p>Humans learn from Humans... and adapt too...</p><p>People have some ability to feel / see what's happening and learn to care... so once people play that game a bit more (even in business) then I'm sure more will care and share more often too and start to accept change of priority (people over profit sometimes) because it makes sense for them (and not needing to screw everyone all the time)..</p><p>In the non-physical or non-hardware sense the modern day <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/warfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warfare</span></a> continues as <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> on people today (it didn't stop since WW2) as the virtualised <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economics</span></a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> (stuff from distance used to cheat people for <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>money</span></a> / <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/profit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>profit</span></a>) so it only makes sense for us to slowly align back to ourselves / teach ourselves better politics between us... so we don't end up with the same leaders or snakes and equivalent <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/economic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economic</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/hammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hammers</span></a> such as:</p><p>❌ Linux adfarms 🔨 or <br>❌ Mastodon google links 🔨 :google: </p><p>You see adfarms or google youtube links also serve them from us. <br>I asking @Gargron years back to make some posts even unofficially / personally to say 'you can also use...

Tech is all so covered. You'd trust TechIncX but not trust me.</p><p>⬇️ EXAMPLE ⬇️ <br>HOW YOUR PRODUCTIVITY / WORK IS MADE BETTER WITH PEOPLE / USERS INVOLVED</p><p>People told me to install Ubuntu / <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> etc but TO START it took a nice person to do a walk-through to help me start.<br>People are not always "lame" or dumb... it's motivation + human brain(s) needing to do computer work and co-operate to get things done 🔁 (either for themselves 🔁 or the other and both 🔁 in the end). </p><p> THIS is all part of it (and not just leaving about leaving ISO somewhere on the web for people to download and stop at hurdle 1 or 2, or poor documentation). </p><p>⬆️ THIS help (above) the best 'forever' work in my eyes which turns any I.T. or operating system into more human-used and co-created work (measurably).</p><p>People "hands-down" need people much more than more tech. So in this case you get more installs and win against your opposition purely because you took the time with people. You find a lot more other things at the same time (bugs, places of improvement, beginner's opinions, expert advice in other fields etc)</p><p>The best "slowly-but-surely" work is work with people more often rather than 100 more tech <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Rugpulls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rugpulls</span></a> and mini-Google's destined to be eaten / bought up by Google or similar.</p><p>No matter how non-profit you or QOTO intends to be (all is still profit in some way) the state is not stupid to make fair containers or keep things fair / not pulling the plug somewhere / unruggable. </p><p>The million stories daily from all companies or state itself (that we are still learning) we need to step out of completely sometimes and see further that as entities people themselves (*the individual* container) holds better their own values in themselves than tech as main reason and with others too this formidable in a different way. </p><p>Risk of deception is always there but more often clearer in people over time rather than a general tech extension replaced by another head of snakes always leaving people quite empty in their wake and us having no choice over it. Sorry for the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> vibes but all crosses everything.</p><p>❓ Even on individual level, doesn't life seem too empty or over-reliant on Tech? ❓ </p><p>❓ Isn't it like we have to have something switched on draining energy? ❓ </p><p>People who played Super Nintendo or PlayStation in younger years (or still now) know that Linux PlayStation can be the same when you power down, empty and alone (again). Just passing time into yes a seeminglt 'perfect' 'logical' machine. </p><p>But people are possibly in worse position if not improving others in any deeper sense and create themselves or others as "just another user" or another "crazy genius tired broken down admin" <br>(like <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrapheneOS</span></a> developer maybe who is making the best thing since mobile operating system but so terrible as person or in people skills). </p><p>People are measurable and repairable and we can be accountable without needing to punish, but hardly without more deliberate time given or as we do things with that integrated.</p><p>What / who is behind the bigger pipe of tech is an increasing <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/lie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lie</span></a> very false provider / less true to people things as that root trust is changeable to some extent as things can be bought and sold.</p><p>Something that might work today later doesn't or is over-done too often. all while people are left almost helpless or not helped in the personal sense of enjoying and learning directly with people or frankly having a normal kind of regular "therapy of life" during our struggling time "repairing" ourselves as a therapy instead of thinking focusing on more code is the way or doing things many don't understand on a simpler level.<br> Co-creating life and being more exposed to more types of "strangers" helps us be friends with the work even with a bit more of a measured approach and making time for it.</p><p>Various scales of lying means it's either people not being genuine or people not understanding what's behind the tech (US storage space and traffic as basis for everything able to be switched off / snooped on / <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/AWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AWS</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a>)<br>not to mention what your servers run on <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/datacentres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>datacentres</span></a> (unless you're not outsourcing it and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a>)...</p><p>...and then seeing that anyway... (away from the usual hate for companies):</p><p>... Simply heading for each other's fellowship and company, using tech as only a basic medium for maximising growing of each other, is much better way for incrementing trust and helping others do the same (while even some tech projects continue but hopefully more people orientated). </p><p>Because we have enough tech do we not? We can di whatever we want mostly (talk, text, call, video, audio etc) </p><p>Tech can't do much more for us now to make better people... Or can it?</p><p>Or do you think we need more to make good people suddenly?</p><p>Past more videos and more media. I personally need people who are failing me all over the place. Not really code other than very basic maintenance of the existing.</p><p> Only people can actually do the people work WITH other people... !... else they are left for dead / alone almost and with uncaring <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/state" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>state</span></a> / <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/bank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bank</span></a> partnership penning them increasingly all the while (<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> is instantly nearer than you think it is once things switch off). </p><p>Isn't it about people developing people, not just machines... ?</p><p>=====================<br>Fuck this was a good post.
