I've noticed something in my various endeavors to research topics: people tend think in examples rather than categories.
If I am attempting to investigate categories of operations, I will find thousands of specific examples.
Finally, I realized that to discover categories, start from the objective and work through means to achieve it in categories. Working both up and down the conceptual pyramid is a beneficial skill.
The only real, big problem keeping us from progressing is ego. People WILL fail. No one is perfect. So don't take yourself serious. Don't follow heroes. Or try to be one. Ideas are bigger than people, that's my mantra. Share ideas. Set them free. Let your ideas travel and find new friends. Take. Your ego. Out. Of The Equation. That's the true Open (Source) way, IMHO.
Caring about your neighbours is not geographically limited anymore, thanks to the Internet. You can find and build Communites of Practice (it's a scientific term, look it up!) and act glocally. Taking local ideas to a global audience and implementing global ideas in your local community. People will win. Good night :)
The #fediverse shows that we can build a better world by ignoring clickbait, billionaires, venture capital and the growth mantra. Decentralisation leads to a better world. When you care about your neighbours, things change. I am tipsy, but I believe we are building better things, the Open (Source) Way. It'll take time. Patience and stoicism will win. There's a book hiding here, but I won''t write it. I'll continue to do. When enough people do, we win. Thanks for listening!
@baddad 😂 It is weird it's on the list because it's a console.
@thefinn I love unbiased data.
@Justicar That's the way I see it too. Paying for a service that I want is supply and demand. It also seems like no matter what service is involved with women the man always pays. So now the question is what is her service worth? Because I can pay other women to do her job if she refuses thus creating a market for it.
@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare When you include everyone you exclude everyone.
@spankbot What did she do?
@thefinn Missed the point.
