Want Change? Work Together 🔁<p>Any proposed system or way that does not expect resistance against it actively seems for me an unrealistic new system or transition to put into any practice. </p><p>We will surely have a <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/transition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transition</span></a> phase involving all many things (stresses and types of people in the way wanting to keep the existing going at the same time). Not sure if any will suddenly have a change of heart or will to try something - maybe because it relates themselves so much even knowingly, just professionally. </p><p>Education might work... but even that has to be done right and things will still going during that and not many know when the exit point is or what transition means more than 'let's see' and 'sit and wait' a bit - maybe 'test' some of it in the academic sense (not many live it)</p><p>Those people that are professionally invested and employed are pretty good at being bad and sticking to it daily quite well. (It's no accident or it's not stupid people). It's what they are paid to do and good at it. Even knowing the underlying dirty work still doesn't really deter people from what 'works' (and at least pays them).</p><p>They probably do sleep well on their yachts, buying luxury with piles of money. And even lower down, people don't want for a lot less when it comes down to it. I know from experience trying to 'free' people who only are so desperate to pay, or be minimal when you can eat the whole lot... Even the poor people don't want freedom sometimes unless really desperate. Tried most my life if various ways. It's been shocking at times like birds that don't really want to fly out of a cage or want to be responsible for their own lives and those of others ⚠️ </p><p>A lot is psychological and mind over matter because people don't care for others to that extent! Smaller stuff like reading lots... nah. Sorry! Don't have time for _those_ things!</p><p>On the Fediverse very few might try something (or even respond).</p><p>The will of the existing rulers or employees are strong and that keeps what they want (and what they don't want). </p><p>They don't want the new or to be more free unless it does MORE of the same ways as before. They are enforcing the future and stealing it.</p><p>➡️ Free is also a danger for us because governments actually will use things against us. They don't pay for many needed things but then pay for grants or research - but not towards freedom, but of course the same stepping-up of the game they were interested in before - otherwise they would have paid for it freedom 100 times already and we could have solved much of it with the profit... or inventions of fertilizer, the major inventions and techniques - but instead it's just made worse and pushing the boat out a bit further / the same but larger scale even at risk of it all breaking / rotting things.</p><p>======================<br>SO THIS IS MY OPEN QUESTION OR ANYONE HERE</p><p>❓ Does your theory or book expect to deal with the opposition of it? <br>➡️ Y ./ N / Maybe</p><p>❓ What makes you're book or it's thinkings any different to all these other ways?</p><p>(I accept a bit of change but not sure about changed even something other than just ad-hoc mutuality)</p><p>❓ Why wouldn't people put those that make major change in jail again especially when paid / their life depends on it?</p><p>=======================<br> THE REST IS OPTIONAL / ONLY IF YOU'RE ABLE but mostly can be considered an overflow if text so stick to above for now...<br>=======================</p><p>All can be GREAT theory (really) by you and others - but there is the same experiences happening when trying...<br>...BECAUSE NEARLY EVERYTHING has always had deliberate challenge and shut down not least relating to their ego(s), muscle-mindedness, control, physical / primitive of restricting others (jailing them) etc etc... </p><p>And I don't mean evil or corporate people only - I mean people like our parents so far behind they'll want to kill it like the 'bacteria' they think is bad but actually the basis of life and diversity. They will spray it in a second like a bug.</p><p>Even of the GREAT inventors have had such hardship from backwards thinking let alone Capitalism (or whatever)... even from those people they could have used and abused earlier (for money) but they condemn these types unless they can be used for profit... Dickens or Van Gogh or whoever people wouldn't even be able to sell their books for lowest currency or for free, they would get burnt or witch-hunts (modern day equivalent still is very much the same)..</p><p>And just put people in jail earlier than listening to them. Not even logic there.</p><p>If people like that don't give money to the greats... abuse them even... and throw people away. What consideration do you have for that?</p><p>===================<br>Again stop reading anytime.<br>===================</p><p>Anything / everything will face these stresses (despite my bad examples perhaps)</p><p>IF ANYTHING STARTS WORKING. YOU WILL GET SHUT DOWN. It's not fear talking. You might have never got something going before to have the experience - something that is caring is magnet for being shut down and naive people wonder why on earth they would bulldozer the place or charge public to not improve it. Essentially it keeps the power and scarcity. And give them something bad to do with tax you give them...</p><p> Think about <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Bitcoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bitcoin</span></a> as another <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/commoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commoning</span></a> (again not a great word or triggers people) but interest to take it over is tangible, one day bad and full of 'hackers' and voodoo and now on your high street once locked and sterilised by them.</p><p>inventors trying to make free energy, hemp rope, have to deal with existing patents, law, and well it's just <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Assange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Assange</span></a> stuff! </p><p>Across the board too much. </p><p>So my advice we give them ideas if anything... UNLESS your idea can deal with the FLACK at the same time as changing and even not announce it like these twitter people serving to show the trend and wonder why they are cut off at the road ahead to change - the system can see / hear / predict it (system also means those behind it raking / scraping in all the trends).</p><p>Anyway I appreciate writing a lot but chances are you might not be interested.</p><p>It's not just a theory thing but like a tug of <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> to the existing AND they don't play logic... (again even without fear it's worse than talking to monkeys).</p><p>You can't argue for fairness, pity, they don't work like that but in <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/authority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authority</span></a> and relate to their paychecks even lower down the level like you and I. <br>Whch is often why <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/academics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academics</span></a> and <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/acedemia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acedemia</span></a> are pre-checkmated. / steralised.
