Panspermia here at home

https://michaelalewis.substack.com/p/the-future-of-the-past?sd=pf

As we contemplate yet another demonstration of the ultimate stupidity of the American electorate: too mired in propaganda, too intellectually stultified to realize their own oppression... too twp to know they’re twp, as the good Welshmen say... it’s hard to find a crumb of optimism in the bottom of my brain pan these days, for this old beat up and much abused planet we balance on so precariously.

I'm just wonder who else on here is middle of the road on most, if not all hot topics (politics, tech, finance, religion, etc.)? Which way do you lean most days?

I most of the time feel like the only person in the room who sees it from both sides and my passion for a topic is weaker than most because of it. Makes most conversation with people unenjoyable for me.

Stop trying to shift the blame - the politicians didn't bring the problems down upon us, those who voted for this in the referendum all those years ago, are the ones who are guilty of bringing the problems down upon us.

We (or rather the brexiteers) did this to ourselves, and we have nobody but ourselves to blame.

I'm currently reading "Why We're Polarized" by Ezra Klein. I know it's been out for a little while and everyone's probably already heard of it, but I would highly recommend adding it to your reading list for 2023. Again I'm not finished yet, but so far some great information.

This is my favorite articles of 2022. I don't normally say this but, I fell like everyone should read it. Maybe not life changing but a great reminder to everyone no matter what side of the political or religious spectrum you are on.

The basic gist is, if you think you have life or any topic figured out, than you are probably wrong. We need to live our lives with loving curiosity and constant pursuit for truth.

@Tinu why sensor yourself? if people find you triggering it’s their problem not yours. Live that distinction for people that have the #privilege to be to separate #race and #polotics. for those of us who live it in our skins, #liveexperience, we can’t separate #socialjustice and #antiracism from #politics. Many may try and be apolitical but being apolitical menas helping the status quo that has ruled for ever and I’d we want changes we have to be the change. At least that is how I see it :p #powertothepeople

Fascists with support of western governments.

This is "democracy".

#introduction

Hello I am Matt, I joined mastodon a few times and recently lost my account on librem.one due to some technical issues and a misunderstanding. Anyway here I am starting over again, I had considered running my own instance but #qoto seemed to hold similar values so here I am.

I love the outdoors and computing. Philisophically I think personal #freedom is the ultimate persuit of expression and hapiness, while engaging with other free individuals we create a understanding society. The only way to have a #free and respectful #society is to respect others freedoms.

This love of freedom like #freespeech is also important in computing. #freesoftware should be a bigger topic in the mainstream, even if someone is not technically compotent, it should be easy to understand that the blueprints to the software that run our dams, electrical, city halls, science, communication etc, etc.. is very important.

My hope is to share various passions of mine here on qoto and find new friends in the fediverse. Eventually see all the people I love on fediverse. This is more ethical platform for social connectedness and more natural like the p2p nature of in person communicatrion.

Here are a list of some of my interests in hash tags:

I'll attempt to repost this and add tags as time goes on.
