We’re building a better system - you in?

The current system is garbage; that’s just about the one universal agreement we can find in our hyper polarized society. The question is: what can we do about it?

Conventional wisdom suggests we are powerless to change the system. I suggest conventional wisdom is shit.

A system is nothing more than the sum of its small, individual pieces. Therefore, to create a new one we don’t need to final, complete thing from the beginning. We just need one piece we can build around.

We have that piece. It’s Stabledyne. It’s here, it exists and, goddamnit, it’s beautiful.

I’ve really come to appreciate how I’ve been in this endless perpetual victim loop where I deceive myself into believing that I’m powerless to make change and that if I could just get the powers that be to just see things my way then all would finally be well.

And that’s fucking bullshit. There is no changing people who don’t want to change and those powers that be be those powers because of their ability to get others to acquiesce to their perspective, not the other way around.

So, fuck it, I’m done with running errands for these fools. New system, waifus, farms…what else could we need?

First thing we need is stop ingesting so much of the default system’s poison. Some is easier to avoid than others, so creating a community platform that doesn’t make you sick and kill you seems like a decent place to start.

What do you guides think we need to get started on building a new system, @jaimes and @catalyst? Think we got it in us?

(3 of 3) integrate eco-friendly practices into our platform's design. Maybe something as simple as carbon offsetting for every post made? 🌍💚
7️⃣ And finally, we'll make sure it's accessible to anyone with an internet connection—no matter where they are in the world. 🌍🌐

Let's do this, Weary! The future's bright, and our platform could be the key. 🚀🚀🚀🔥🌍✌️

(2 of 2) they're being preached at. How does that sound? We might even have some friendly competition along the way!

I believe in us—and remember, we don't need to reinvent the wheel. There are plenty of great ideas out there, we just need to connect the dots and put our own spin on them. Let's get started!

Thinking out loud, besides being able to heal ourselves mentally and physically (I’d argue, the same thing) we need a way to organizer the workers - nay, the people - of the world.

I’m talking to the founder of Union Base later today, bringing back memories of the Human Union concept we created a few years ago.
