An #openweb organic intellectual,technologist and part of the #OMN
The #dotcons are designed for greed and selfishness, everything about them feeds this and in turn feeds off this. This is coded into them and thus cannot be simply fixed, the problem we need to look at now is that we cannot reboot alternatives by simply copying them in #FOSS as we have done so … Continue reading Humanistic adventures in social technology
The mess we made with our addiction to #dotcons social media over the last 20 years means we need to look at the broader implications of how we interact with these platforms if we are to step away from this mess. Yes, criticism is a first step, a second step is seeding #openweb alternatives, then … Continue reading Bogged down in negative criticism, let’s focus on building something better
The “unique” selling point of the #OMN (Open Media Network) often gets lost because people focus too much on the technical side rather than the simple, fundamental idea at its core. The real value proposition, which might sound like “common sense,” is quite radical in today’s landscape: in the #OMN, both people and content are … Continue reading Open Media Networking

Further, the OGB – for which the code base is named – is a decentralized and democratic system for “governance” of any collective/community consisting … Continue reading The Open Governance Body
The Witches Cauldron #MakingHistory you can find the project dev site here (if its online) https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/MakingHistory The open activist archive is a data “commons” based on the #4opens and motivated by the #PGA hallmarks. We are aiming to create a data soup of metadata enriched digital items hosted on redundant federated network of hosts/servers around … Continue reading MakingHistory
In our conversations on #AI there is a copyright trap, pushed in the #mainstreaming, the #fashionista conversation around protecting producers and cultural industries are growing hysterical. Some policymakers and activists are pushing for shielding creators from the very real threats posed by these new technologies. However, in their haste to act, leftist and progressive crew … Continue reading A Critique of “fluffy” Leftist and Progressive #AI Paths
Hydrogen is heralded by our conservative crew as a miracle fuel, offering a clean and carbon-free source of energy. By combining hydrogen with atmospheric oxygen, we produce water and energy, a blinded “perfect” solution for fantasy energy needs. However, hydrogen has drawbacks that make its large-scale adoption a #geekproblem dysfunctional fantasy. Challenges with Hydrogen: Hydrogen … Continue reading The Hydrogen Path is #techchurn
Words shape our thoughts, and common understandings of these words are essential for any coherent and effective communication. Ideologies form the basis of all thinking, whether unspoken and #mainstreaming or articulated and still minority. The challenge is to #KISS transition minority ideologies to the mainstreaming paths. There is a plan: Using Common Hashtags and Syndication … Continue reading The Importance of Words and Ideology
We can’t keep repeating the same #TechShit over and over again. #TechCurn is a dead end.The #OMN is the only positive path I know forward. #Mainstreaming #fashernistas are dangerously consumptive. Our alt #fashernistas are utterly pointless. We need to disrupt social norms and make #4opens fashionable to salvage any value from these people and pull … Continue reading The Solution: Embrace the #4opens
What drives the rise of social justice movements and grassroots mobilization is simple: they begin locally. Movements grow from the lived experiences of people and communities directly affected by injustice – those with the motivation and need to bring about real change. To help these movements expand and connect, technology need to be built to … Continue reading What works?
The #mainstreaming does not create culture, this is almost always from the alternative, but they do consume culture, and shape it to their agenda. It’s not that weird to see billionaires sitting in luxurious ayahuasca ceremonies (facilitated by #neocolonial white guys) to do “personal development” instead of funding the actual regenerative movement that we all … Continue reading Working with neo hippies for 20 years, they are now #mainstreaming
Hashtags are ubiquitous online, at best they categorize content to find and join conversations on topics. The problem with current #fashernista hashtag usage is they reinforce individualism over collective action. This is an issue of #neoliberal “common sense” and the domination of #dotcons, prioritizing profit rather than change and challenge. Serendipity is about the occurrence … Continue reading Serendipity and #Hashtags
