In this episode, we explore how to start freeing our world and our lives from the myths of money Beyond money. It’s how most of us already run the economics of our own households. It’s how most of us already run most of our day-to-day interactions at work.
Agreed, these lockdowns are frustrating to say the least. I take your point on the parasites, but the global outage may have put a modicum of doubt in the minds of some that the all conquering IT Cabal are also fallible and do not have all the answers.
Yep. The point here being that "the all conquering IT Cabal" still view their clientele as 'owned commodities' - and given their ludicrous levels of wealth, are undoubtedly achieving vast success as parasites in terms of the possession-economy...
It would seem as if global tech companies are not only trying to remove parasites from the equation but all human interaction. The question then becomes "then what" how will the human race then respond to these developments?
Agreed about "trying to remove ... all human interaction", but they're certainly not trying to remove parasites - in many cases they themselves are by far the worst and most pervasive parasites... ('between-taker'). The point of this post was to provide some means to start looking for how those parasites intrude into interactions - but I've struggled with this post for several weeks, and I know that it's still not right. Oh well.
What I need to do now, I think, is pull it back from this too-much-theory bit, and focus more on the _human_ side, in a much more serendipitous way. It's what I'd intended to do from the start, but have rather been prevented from doing so by the endless random lockdowns, where I'm not really allowed even to leave the house, let alone travel around to make random connections with random people and explore their challenges and successes in sidestepping the possession-economy. I'll be able to do that travelling eventually - or I hope so, anyway - but right now it's barely legal at all. I'll have to find a different plan. :-/
