@Wolf480pl Yeah, my bad. I have always thought about the Matrix as not to be take seriously.

@Wolf480pl I could only skip the beginning. That is not how I communicate with people. Then again, perhaps it works. Shamanism probably β€œworked” for thousands of years but it seems fundamentally opposed to the ideals of enlightenment.

@Wolf480pl I have always considered the dialogues in The Matrix to be beautiful Word Magic – words to confuse and delight but to be taken seriously. Are you proposing that I rewatch it?

@charlag Welcome to Germany! (Welcome to Europe, too?)

@prashere Telekommunisten came up in that speech by Kleiner but I didn’t look any further except for the two links I had in my blog post. I’ll take a look.

@Wolf480pl Noooooo not the Matrix please no!! πŸ˜‚

@Wolf480pl I guess the author considers themselves the best example and extrapolates from there?

The blog post is here, pulling together stuff I've been reading and saying over the last few day. Thank you all for linking all this interesting stuff. alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2018-06-

@generica Or self empowerment. Teach people to fish instead of selling fish.

@nunatak Habe mir die 2h angehΓΆrt und hat sich echt gelohnt. Danke!

I've listened to nearly 2h of introduction to Karl Marx' Capital, in German. I think I need to learn more! It makes me see Free Software in a new light. I don't want to make sure Free Software developers will get paid. That's how capitalism stays strong. We need to transfer that money to other modes of production. I don't want to work for the profit of capitalists, I want to work for my own specific wants and needs. Free Software! I need to write a blog post.

@solderpunk Iβ€˜ve read those pages about detox and they don’t have that same kind of appeal as the beginning. Weβ€˜ll see how it goes. And I’ll have to read your post again!
