We should embrace ingenuity, not erase it!

"Too often, the city of Portland does battle with communities like Hazelnut Grove rather than building from the leadership on the streets"

https://www.streetroots.org/news/2021/01/27/kaia-sand-we-should-embrace-ingenuity-not-erase-it

Here's a great article on what homeless camps are constantly dealing with. Even as the homeless invent ingenious solutions to their own problems, the City of Portland, Oregon keeps trying to tear down the grass roots solutions only to erect their own top-down model of the same thing.

How has technology steered our minds?

What have we become?

While technology delivered infinitely powerful tools to augment our minds, that same technology slowly became ubiquitous, addictive, and inescapable. As we became dependent on it, the companies who depended on selling it to us became dependent on ways to monetize our attention. Our technologies evolved into digital slot machines, pandering to our base emotions, grasping for our attention and refusing to let go.

The very technology which showed such promise to free our minds had evolved into a tool of our enslavement.

It's time to take back our attention.

WARNING: This video does plug an expensive product, but the way it describes the history of our enslavement to our devices is extremely well done.

“Look man, we'd probably most of us agree that these are dark times, and stupid ones, but do we need fiction that does nothing but dramatize how dark and stupid everything is? In dark times, the definition of good art would seem to be art that locates and applies CPR to those elements of what's human and magical that still live and glow despite the times' darkness. Really good fiction could have as dark a worldview as it wished, but it'd find a way both to depict this world and to illuminate the possibilities for being alive and human in it.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism

Crypto-anarchism (or crypto-anarchy) is a form of anarchy accomplished through computer technology. Crypto-anarchists employ cryptographic software to evade persecution and harassment while sending and receiving information over computer networks, in an effort to protect their privacy, their political freedom, and their economic freedom.

One motive of crypto-anarchists is to defend against surveillance of computer networks communication. Crypto-anarchists try to protect against government mass surveillance, such as PRISM, Tempora, telecommunications data retention, the NSA warrantless surveillance, Room 641A, the FRA and so on. Crypto-anarchists consider the development and use of cryptography to be the main defense against such problems.

A couple builds a tiny home for just $420! They use mostly found materials, and they aren't perfectionists, but the result is quite adorable!

Announcing Operation: #whatsinit_💬?

The chemical industry has gotten way out of hand. The industrial complex is so over-reaching that it's hard to find anything that isn't full of toxins, and harder to figure out exactly which toxins. Lobbyists have muddled the truth, and slowed progress in regulation, as usual.. and when a chemical does finally get regulated, chemists often just swap out one molecule for another, give it another name, and the show goes on.

This operation calls for seeking out the truth to what things contains what chemicals. This includes food, household items, natural products - everything. What's in it? What don't we know?

Label your posts in a way that organizes it by the items themselves, like @food_💬, @lumber_💬, @clothing_💬, or whatever else you're exposing, and finally tag it with #whatsinit_💬

Very interesting #AI_💬 news, there's an open letter going around gathering signatures from the Future of Life Institute that states:

"We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4"

https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/

Interestingly, the petition has already been signed by big tech CEOs and technologists that are very involved in current A.I. development.
