Most of our problems are not #engineering problems but #social problems. We need to look to the #sociologists not the #engineers to save is, or better yet look to #ourselves. We have been sold a bill of goods about the wonders of #competition. Only #cooperation will save us.

A quotation from Maugham, W. Somerset:

«
Most people have a furious itch to talk about themselves and are restrained only by the disinclination of others to listen. Reserve is an artificial quality that is developed in most of us but as the result.

Dear #Best Friends of the #Fediverse, 

As we may know being #FREE is #GNU for we the people of the #Rave GNU #World. How so?  
#Well …

• Free of #consumer ads/#addiction 
• Free of #sold and #soiled data aka #misinformation 
• Free to be a #new #kind of GNU 

For example:
Today I learned from the FREE GNU website all the (#Darth) #Insidious, plain evil heart of Ultra #Sith Corp (Ape A Pull), Do know evil (Gagg All) and Bubble economics abandoning bit coin for so culled #Generative AI.

What is a #lobster, a #nonny #mouse or free citizen of the #netizen to do? 

Yeah baby … #bambi and baby #yoda, expect nothing less …

Dear Friends of the …  
As we know, we all have to #befriend at least #ourselves. Though, some people hate their #aloneness. This #holiday #seasoning try not to krill yourself, your #neighbours, local school children, #Carol warblers/singers etc.
You may be #crazed but are #needed:

• To #provide
• To be #cared for
• To scream into the cyberverse #abyss
• To join #Teetotallers Anonymous.

My #immediate #fam are mostly #non-drinkers. #Tomorrow as we #gather, one will probably bring wine, We have two Guinness, A bottle of Ginger Wine, four Crabbies (a real ginger beer) and two bottles of fortified wine from last twitter-mas … eh X-Mas, that have almost been used up to #flavour puddings.

And yet this toxic #prohibited poison in Islam, is #normalised ‘social lubricant’. What #nonsense! Learn to be #social on social media without being drugged. Can you #choose yet?

In other news had two soups yesterday, one for Lunch one for supper with wholemeal rolls.
