@CyberneticForests it also assumes thar the tech will be channeled and controlled in the wider public interest - but it is currently owned and controlled by a minority with narrow #selfinterest

#ClearingMyMind with some random #freeform text:

I went into #Mastodon and I learnt more about myself.

Or so I said to myself, repeating the mantra again and again

I know more about myself now than I knew before.

My #SelfKnowledge has reached its peak. My #WordSalad has also reached it peak.

I'm on top of mount #SelfInterest it feels good to be up here with all the #StrongWinds blowing in my face

#selfinterest as in, am more likely to get a game if I have the power of #socialmedia on my side ! (here's hoping that the mighty #dp40s crew have not migrated to #mastodon yet! )

In business, it is the aggressive man, who continually has his eye on his own interest, who succeeds. Business is merely a form of warfare in which each combatant strives to get the business away from his competitors, and at the same time, keep them from getting what he already has. No man has ever been successful in business who is not aggressive, self-assertive, and even a little bit selfish, perhaps.

Expect more of this donor inspired, populist, flawed "common sense" untrustworthy stuff from Wes Streeting. I don't trust MPs whose pronouncements so closely match the wishes of their donors. https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2023/01/09/wes-streetings-nhs-plans-are-typical-of-this-charlatan/?__s=6squ6bjtxophyfzgvnew

Social norms: the downside
https://wyclif.substack.com/p/social-norms-the-downside

Social #Norms help to shape the behavior of a group and prevent powerful individuals from abusing their power. They can embody a group's collective self-interest. However, social norms can also be used to dominate and exploit others. They may become outdated and fail to reflect contemporary values or needs, leading to the enforcement of harmful standards. Norms have no #efficiency guarantees.

#Starmer and the #LabourParty in general need to realise that we've had 'enough'!

When we get rid of these #CorruptToryScum, if Labour aren't up to the job, they'll be next, only it won't be back in with the #Tories or #LibDems. It'll be a whole new party, for the people, not for #selfinterest

Pretty sure we have the motivation, we certainly have the numbers, and we're sick of being the punchbag for ALL of the current parties and system!

We don't need a revolution, we have us!

IMHO such calls have little effect when personal vested interests for scarce roles are at stake (https://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_heffernan_forget_the_pecking_order_at_work?language=en) - unless majority in such a group recognize they are less effective as a whole without #diversity & better representation, #selfinterest prevails #auspol

The conflict between elites and populists may not be what it seems.

For folks who’ve “done the work” and have a better understanding of their own biases and motivations, “challenging defaults” is a "dialectical" method, relying on a contradictory process between opposing sides (thesis + antithesis = synthesis).

@Lasker_McDermott it's like they're beating they're heads against a wall, being warned about #CTE, then insisting #God wants them to bash their brains in; it's "#His #will." And there's no talking them out of it.
