I don’t use twitter anymore but these are somethings I’d post. Same same but different.

Newest ones are added to the top.

Privacy Invaders

Invading someones privacy, like their digital lives — like advertising companies are doing, is like breaking and entering into that persons home. Breaking into someones home is such a violation because it is taking things and information that isn’t theirs that can used to manipulate them.

“But how is it dangerous if they aren’t present!”

They don’t have to be present at that moment. They can see your location and attack at another time. And they sell your information about you to other entities that don’t care about you.

In all the laws that exist on breaking into someones home, the home owner has the right to defend themselves and stand their ground. In stand their ground laws a home owner has the legal right to put the home invader to death. It is their choice if they want to put the home invader to the death.

Why? Because if someone comes into your home you don’t know why they are there. Are they there to steal something? Are they there to kill you? You don’t know. But them being there puts you at risk because you are in a vulnerable position. The power in that situation is so imbalanced and unfair that the home owner has the right to kill the home invader. And for profit companies are invading your digital home which is also your digital mental palace. According to the law advertising companies and the like are doing that.

And state organizations are starting to agree. They are introducing privacy laws to prevent this.

Some institutions and people think it is ok for them to do it. As if they have a special right. But then do you get to invade the privacy invaders privacy and violate the universes natural boundaries? It seems one way if they do it to you but you can’t do it to them. It would only be fair for them to do it if you could do it back to them?

But some institutions violate this law, and so if you like, put a curse on them for the harm they are doing to you. If there’s entities beyond humanity that exist that care about humanity or that care about justice then they would apply those curses to the violators.

In your notes and in your photos say this,

“I do not give you permission to invade my privacy. I curse all privacy invaders. I put a curse on those that invade my privacy.”

Remember, a slave has no choice. Someone who is free has a choice and can give permission.

A curse will apply to anyone, even entities beyond humanity. Why? Because they don’t know if an entity exists beyond them. And there is no way that any entity could prove that another entity doesn’t exist that can’t apply that curse.

“Well, I’m God. And I made the universe so your curses don’t apply.”

Yeah? Well who made you? If they haven’t told you, then you don’t know.

The mind is so valuable and fragile that anyone else having access to it is dangerous. But I believe curses, in this case, apply to other humans, and not entities outside of humanity, if they exist, and if they are supportive or hostile. I don’t know that so I don’t know that I’d want to apply a curse to those entities except if they’ve been maliciously destructive. That I don’t know. What I do know is that privacy violation is the exact same or worse than breaking and entering.

A person who believes the goal of life is to fix the world has a different set of objectives for themselves than the person who believes the goal is to fix themselves, than the person who believes the goal is to entertain the world, to the person who person who believes life is to accumulate things and wealth that they can’t take with them when they die.

The main message of Jesus and the Gospels

  • Love God
  • Love one another
  • Be like Christ
  • Bring heaven to Earth (improve the world)
  • Heal the sick
  • Cleanse sick
  • Bring life to people
  • Bring healing to eyesight

If a society is charging for these things they are oppressive societies. The societies are more evil than good.

“But we can’t afford it!”

Even poor countries give free health care. It’s not about money.

There should be software language feature awards:

For example, the choice to allow a comma at the end of the last value in an array assignment so that the compiler doesn’t complain:

var progressParts = [0, 1, 2, 3, ];

And the question mark operator to check for null values

var data = response?.data;

And the await and async keywords

async getData(url) { var data = await fetch(url).text(); }

These are examples of things that would get an Language Design award or what not.

Two prices

Maybe make products or digital products with two prices. One is the normal price and the other is the poor price. At least until better income distribution system is released.

So people who can pay full price can pay full price and people can’t can pay a discounted price.

You’d have to word it right. Something like, if your monthly disposable income is four times the price of this product please pay full price.

Or if you absolutely can’t afford this but you need it then choose the discount price.

Game Studio content permissions

When a studio makes a video game it should be allowed by law that any participants that worked on the game should be allowed to make their own content from it after the game is released. And the public, maybe a person who buys the game, should be able to make content for it as well but maybe after a few months.

Open source Licenses

Open source licenses should legally include a description of the software and why it is being used in the open source license description. Even if they are being used in closed source software.

Much like ingredients listed on the box of a store bought food you need to be informed if some app is using an open source project and what it’s doing.

“Hey man, are you suffering for man kind?”
“No, I’m suffering because of man kind…”

Unless there is an extra activity I chose to do to help it along. Then that project or time frame would be suffering for mankind.

But, as of Fall 2022, I have done what I felt I was given to do or promised to do. I felt a burden lifted around that time. I’m now open to bribery and corruption. Joking but that is not funny. But I’m done with a promise I made. I’m done with the perform, despite pattern. Perform whether I have resources or not. Basically, I did activism work without taking money for it to research and discover the cause of things and get answers for things, to prevent bias, to prevent coercion, etc. I don’t know if it was a choice I made or if it was something I felt I was born to do but it wasn’t just something to do to keep busy because the burden was on me.

Why are you telling people this?

Because I grew up with the idea of leaders and when I was younger I thought those leaders would save the day. But I learned that they have a message or job they believed in and it turns out that it’s only that.

That disappointed me and I know many others.

This is going to sound bad but Jesus was the biggest disappointment to the Israelites. They were being oppressed by the Romans and the people wanted them to create a better society and instead he gave them messages and then died. To Jesus, the message was the savior. Not him. There are a lot of holes in the story when asking why didn’t / doesn’t a deity fix things.

So I’m declaring to others that I’m exhausted and tired and I can’t do anything more in my own strength. There’s no one hoping for anything from but I’m doing this as an example for others that it’s better to tell everyone you’re done than not tell anyone you’re retiring and fade or fall because you let yourself go or you let go of a mission. You see this in politics. AOC was a amazing hopeful. The moment she got into place she told people what it was like to be there giving everyone updates on how it works to help the cause of the oppressed. Then silence. Then excuses.

Now is the easiest time to be a hero. Just fight the villains. How do you spot a villain? They have power and oppress the people or they defend and maintain oppression (minion).

Projects I would take:

  • Direct a Halo game
  • Direct an Alita TV series or movie
  • Produce a nature inspired video game (I have numerous ideas)
  • Live in nature as a hermit lol
  • Distribute charity / money directly
  • Give air conditioning to people in hot climates

“Take the case of any one of these vast masses of unemployed men, to whom, though he never heard of Malthus, it today seems that there are too many people in the world.

In his own wants, in the needs of his anxious wife, in the demands of his half-cared-for, perhaps even hungry and shivering children, there is demand enough for labor, Heaven knows! In his own willing hands is the supply. Put him on a solitary island, and though cut off from all the enormous advantages which the co-operation, combination, and machinery of a civilized community give to the

productive powers of man yet his two hands can fill the mouths and keep warm the backs that depend upon them.

Yet where productive power is at its highest development they cannot.

Why? Is it not because in the one case he has access to the material and forces of nature, and in the other this access is denied?” — Henry George in Progress and Poverty

Why is it, if a man who moves his family to New York City he has trouble feeding and housing his family while if he moved his family to a deserted island he could easily feed his family and live in abundance?

Think about it. Take all the time you need.

Everyone and I mean everyone understands that there is a high cost to live in populated areas. Everyone knows this. And everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that the high cost comes from the rent.

“Where are you from?” The dude said.
“I’m from New York City.” said the other dude
“Isn’t it costly to live there?”
“Yes. The rent is $3000 for a closet.”
“Does everything cost more?”
“Not everything but some things”
“So, if the rent is high for you and the rent is high for everyone else including businesses then it would stand to reason that high cost of rent is causing the price of things to inflate?”
“If you didn’t have to pay rent and everyone else didn’t have to pay rent would that change things?”

It’s rent. It’s allowing land lords (robber barons) to own land, which everything is built on and exists on — this land, and then also to charge for the use of that land. People didn’t create the Earth. It was here before they got here and will exist after they are gone.

But you don’t have to be a business man or have two cents worth of wits to understand that if you bought land next to a brand new city and did nothing but hold on to it, that land will as the city populates and as time goes on, be worth more and more. It may be worth nothing at the start of a city but as time goes on that plot of land will increase in value. And the land owner will have had done nothing. He didn’t work. He didn’t work at a job. Or start a business. He simply, according to modern feudalism and robber baron laws, got there first, claimed it, probably killed the original owners and then rented it out. This piece of earth that no one created and that belongs to no one and everyone at the same time.

As described by Widerquist, when you say this resource or this thing made of resources is mine exclusively and not yours you are imposing a duty on the rest of humanity saying, “You can’t use this.” And if you are imposing that duty on that thing called land, you are saying, this land which no one made, which contains the food that others need to survive is mine and not yours, you are blocking people from the resources they need to survive. You are sieging and besieging resources that nature meant for all.

That exclusive use of land is zero sum. It is a win lose situation. It means that by you claiming it exclusively you are block others from using it. Whether you have enough of the resources need to survive or more than enough.

In the case of living in a large expensive city or a deserted island know this. They block you from the commons and then blame you for being poor. When they say they can’t solve poverty they are full of shit. People can be very shitty. What they are saying and maintaining is that they don’t want you to have these things.

Where it is said, “No one owes you anything” well if you block people from the resources they need like food or housing then yes you do owe it to them otherwise it’s murder. This is enslavement all over again. It’s not enslaving people it’s enslaving resources.

The Lockean priviso states that a person is only allowed to have as much as they can as long as there is a good fair amount left over for others.

In other words you can’t have seconds until everyone else has had thirds.

So what does the world, country, city, town or village owe each other? An open commons. The ability to be self sufficient. A fair share of natural resources. The fairest thing I can think of is that everyone on earth gets a fair share of the earth. And if that’s not possible, as in large populated city then you get compensated a fair share of the earth. And get rid of rent. WTF is someone allowed to steal your hard earned money every month? And get rid of taxes. They are no longer needed. Money is created digitally you fucking idiot. Taxes aren’t needed and aren’t used except for exploitation.

Watch the original 1940, black and white, “Swiss Family Robinson” movie

Money
If I owe you money or if I’m giving you money as a gift or a loan and you aren’t around to take it that day or the next day fuck it. You don’t get it.

If I have to worry about how to pay you or how to do something kind for you and you act like you don’t need it or you make it difficult to help you, it makes me feel like shit. So if you aren’t around or don’t make it easy to pay you back or pay you, forget it. You don’t get it, I don’t owe you, you forfeit it.

A friends perspective

A friend of mine was helping me through a difficult time and I became curious so I asked her why. She said she wanted me to be happy. She wanted me to have a rich, full life. I think about that a lot.

In general, I might not know you but I think that I want to have that view of people in general. The person going to work or school, I want them to have a rich full life. The person begging on the street, it bothers me. I want them to have a rich full life.

Many futurists are starting to realize and discuss that there is and will be a time in the future where there will be nothing to stop anyone from doing nearly anything they want to including destructive practices.

After reading about this, it was mentioned that the clear that the only solution to this is to create a world where no one would want to do this. I agree 100%. This is the way.

And it was also mentioned, that we must have a society that says, “There is a level of existence which I will not let you, someone I know or don’t know, fall below.”

God looking at Earth: Why do you have poverty?
People: Well, Henry George, the guy who figured out the causes of poverty in modern societies, said it’s because of the enslavement of the Earths natural resources and because of the monopoly of land and it’s never ending rent.
God: Why are you letting someone set rent prices for land?
People: Because that’s their property.
God: No it’s not. It’s mine. You can each get a fair share of some of it. The rest is for the trees, the plants and animals and some for me.

People: But they worked for it.
God: No they didn’t. They killed the people who lived there or moved them somewhere else then they starting giving it away or selling something that wasn’t theirs to sell to begin with.

When you wake up

“It’s waking up every day and fighting what your life looks like and deciding to choose something beyond your day to day, and deciding to disagree with your day to day reality and saying, ‘This is not the truth. The truth exists somewhere in the future that no one sees yet.’”

This is part of a quote from a woman on tik tok I’ve lost track of. I’d like to add too that when you have a dream you are going for it is, “The truth exists somewhere in the future that no one sees yet but you see.” And you hold on that dream and you hold on to that better vision of the future and you hold that vision in your mind until it manifests.

Low power screen dimming

I hate Apple for this. I put my phone on low power mode because I don’t have the opportunity to charge it through out the day. But when using low power mode the screen dims almost immediately (it’s 30 seconds but immediate in phone checking time space). There’s no way to increase this time.
