I decline the implicit invite to complicity in the degeneracy via defeatism. ;)

I appreciate the good luck, and acknowledgement of the difficulty of the situation.

We can still mend this.

For one example for a glimmer of hope, the FSF announced a few months back, https://www.fsf.org/news/librephone-project to make low level free software for phones. Couple that with those seeking to make free software operating system interfaces for phones, and those seeking to make phones with right to repair... and things are not so dark. Increasing awareness still grows. The tighter the rotters squeeze, the more slip through the fingers. We are in a lot of trouble, but we can still mend this.

The recent changes to M$ windoze has created another wave of windows refugees... many of them are finding it astonishing how much their new GNU+Linux operating system respects them, ... some are even getting into a Free Software philosophy, eager to learn, to give back, asking not what linux can do for them, but what they can do for free software, getting out of the atrophied-ability trap of consumerist stockholm syndrome.

More integrity in sounding like a nut-job, planting honest seeds, hoping one day they take root, than deploying the skills I learned in advertising to manipulate people. All part of the message, by example. Maybe a few more nutjobs will drop their masks that perpetuate the normalised degeneracy.

Anyhoo,

Thanks for that reply. Good stuff. Well... better than an attack for being a nutjob windbag. ;D

Cheers.

Mendwards! :)

That is good! There is some hope. Not in my town or friend group but hopefully elsewhere !

You must be a very interesting person. Thanks for the reply

Dormant fertile ground... locked imbalanced past a mending tipping point yet to be reached.

Difficult to see, to predict, what seeds are needed to restore growth and have minds bloom again.

Many stressors chemical, physical, and emotional, maintain the prisons they know, and the prisons they do not realise exist in them.

The complexity can overwhelm courage and hope, but under all that, there are still many deeply evolved systems to recouperate by, and the mends may be far nearer in reach, with less intervention required, certainly than the entirety of the intricacies.

Which splinter in their paw to remove, that enables the cascade to mends, I know not, from here, down in the mini-me consciousness without access to omniscience... and perhaps even if in omniscience, may know some better karmic processing due to proceed than to interfere... though that's not to say it's either for sure mendable, nor for sure impossible.

It's merely necessary to do.

Mendwards! :D

Eeeehehehehe. Ego tickles.

Everybody's interesting. Just some hide it, some have been marred by the manipulations. (Sorry each and all, again, for my prior part in doing that.).

... Ego still wants to explore my special very interestingness... ha! Got many metrics to corroborate that notion... but that derailment likely wouldn't help, the issue here, nor my interestingness. Can't get there from here. ;D
