Responding is to give your attention to that which is being reacted upon. If you respond to JK Rowling, you give them attention. If you respond to AI, you give it attention. We expand their relevance, and forces people to take note regardless of whether they were or were not interested. You turn the conversation towards them, to their dreams. Make people fantasize about these dreams regardless of any ones stances.

It is not to say that we shouldn't respond to them, but to understand that our responses are upholding them to some extent.

So what do we do then? To not critique would be to let their ideas grow without resistance.

The idea here is not to completely stop the criticism. It is to be aware of the critique, but have a greater focus on the question:

what do we want ❓

This is particularily the responsibility of those who has become alienated by the machine. Sees how the machine is poisoning the heavens, overproducing, mass manipulation, atomization, deathening wilderness, acidifying oceans, draining freshwater, genocides people. Who sees that we are undermining the foundation of community of humanity and species.

Dreamers can't just paint the dystopic world we live in, how crazy their worldview is, and stories of dangerous futures. They also need to be a little crazy themselves. Dreamers need to paint a reality that they want to live in, regardless of how flawed the brushstrokes are.

Responders need to react to these dreamers. Those who dare to paint the future vividly and meaningfully. Our reaction waters them and gives their relevance growth.

Our reaction is a tool for change because it makes the ideas of the dreamer relevant. Our reaction is a tool to drag our dreams into reality.

But this force of responding is only as strong as we are openly making them relevant. Our responses needs to be luminated to our communities to turn them relevant. The relevancy makes the ideas into waves that travels throughout society. Our ability to start waves, ability to enter a wave. Our ability to plant seeds.

Be aware of what you react to.

Eine ganz gute Zusammenfassung von Kurzgesagt zum Thema "Warum wir am Arsch sind"

Im Endeffekt geht es hauptsächlich um den Sozialstaat, die niedrige Geburtenrate und die ungleiche Vermögensverteilung

Last month, MEE reported that a panel of judges appointed by the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), the ICC’s governing body, to review the UN investigation had concluded it had not established any "misconduct or breach of duty" by Khan.

But the chief prosecutor has still not returned to his duties. MEE later reported that a group of disproportionately western and European states voted at a bureau meeting to disregard the panel of judges and make their own assessment, based on the UN report.

In the interview with Hasan, published on Wednesday, Khan said he had thought the judges' conclusion "was the end of the matter. I thought obviously it would be closed straight away". "And I was really perplexed that the bureau didn't close it straight away."

Khan added, "I cooperated with the process, and the process exonerated me. I'm just concerned that…why is it not being closed straight away?"

Pressed on the sexual misconduct allegations against him, Khan said, "I've read the findings of the judges, and in the UN report, there are 137 findings.

The investigation into Khan has unfolded against the backdrop of an intensifying intimidation campaign targeting the prosecutor and the ICC itself over his office's ongoing efforts to bring Gaza war crimes prosecutions against Israeli leaders.

The co-founder of NodeBB, an open-source community forum platform with built-in ActivityPub support, connecting traditional forums to the social web, makes the case for bringing forums back.

Corporate feeds are optimized to keep you scrolling past what you actually came for; Fediverse feeds avoid the manipulation but still dump everything into a single unstructured stream. Forums, with their categories, persistence, and searchability, are the missing third space, and NodeBB's ActivityPub integration lets a forum curate content from across the Fediverse by hashtag while participating in the wider social web. A pitch for municipal governments, libraries, and interest communities to claim their own digital town halls instead of shouting into someone else's feed.

Winner of the 1928 Pulitzer Prize, Strange Interlude is a Freudian melodrama that seeks to explore the vast, unfathomable murk of the human unconscious. To accomplish this goal, playwright Eugene O’Neill employed an experimental use of soliloquies, where characters revealed their unvarnished inner thoughts directly to the audience, revealing the psychic turmoil lurking beneath the placid masks of polite society. Following its first exhibitions, Strange Interlude also became a lightning rod of controversy and censorship due to its frank portrayals of topics such as abortion, infidelity, sexual desire, and mental illness.

Set in the aftermath of World War I, the play follows the lives of several characters over the span of two decades. Our central character, Nina Leeds, is haunted by the recent death of her fiancé during the war. Her despair and despondency gradually take an inward, self-destructive turn, as she indulges in a number of sordid affairs before tumbling into a loveless marriage. Thus begins a chain of events that will haunt the lives of all who fall within Nina’s orbit. - Summary by ChuckW
