2022: #JohnNaughton lays out the well-known propertarian and Hayekian side of crypto evangelism, then this intriguing observation;
"Lots of people will point out that the Satoshi memo, which released the idea for blockchain, more or less coincides with the fall of Lehman Brothers, and... [that] being a token for the corrupt, uncontrollable nature of financial capitalism and it's untrustworthiness."
This album changed my life. I was a high schooler in the early 1990’s when I listened to it on repeat. As a survivor of domestic violence, she release me of shame (Behind the Wall). Then listening her sing about structural oppression and revolution (Behind the Wall, Why?, #Talking About a Revolution, Mountains of Things, …If Not Now); I could feel the connection in my body. Her album and lyrics were a meditation on liberation for me. Thank you #tracychapman and may the Grammy performance broaden your influence. 🙏🏽❤️🔥

The irony is that I used to give a talk on how to talk people into things (https://third-bit.com/advice/#talking-people-into-things) based on projects like Software Carpentry, the Architecture of Open Source Applications, and It Will Never Work in Theory, but getting the median 20-something coder to care about the impact their work is going to have on other people has defeated me.
First, the #categorization of #political views along a single left-right #axis is almost #useless. This has long been known, and alternatives exist that present a much more accurate picture, but the traditional #media is #addicted to "#left this" and "#right that" and is lazy, so they'll probably never get better.
I don't think you can meaningfully #change the views of the extant parties to move them closer to where your beliefs land on the chart.
Anyone see an easy, direct way of fixing this?
All I can see at the moment is a possible starting #step. Stop #talking about "#left" vs. "#right" politics. #Help people who are interested in politics #understand the #Pournelle#chart, and how to place their own belief systems on it.
I posted this screenshot from Terminator 2 a few years ago, and it seems even more true today: you should be preparing kids for an uncertain future (not the blowing things up and weapons, but disaster preparedness and survival skills). "Here's how to perfect your golf game" isn't gonna do it. #DisasterPreparedness#Terminator#SkynetDay
Basic hand-to-hand self defense. Jujitsu or judo or akido or similar (not karate or any showoff sports). Real practical stuff that will get you out of a jam.
Human communication skills. How to talk to strangers, ask for help, interact with people WITHOUT using social media or your phone. I know, they hate talking to adults, but this is a huge, huge, huge skill in life in general (and in particular, disasters). 13/x #DisasterPreparedness#SelfDefense#Talking
