Giving credit to reliable and creative minds (in this order!) when credit is due
and giving my first post the missing context, too
In case I've left some readers wondering where the heading of and creative phrases like "nudging feeling" in my first post come from, I'll provide below all the missing (immediate and surrounding) context as well as some credit due. I consider this credit to be important for many reasons and I hope it will help avoid further stupidities and maybe make some Substackers a little bit more visible and happy. Also, this supplementary post serves as a substitute for the restacks initially planned in a more compact and complete form.
First I'd like to point out that there seems to be sort of an inherent trade-off in practice between trying to be reliable and trying to be creative. As both require substantial resources, it is like a competition for resources in the human mind and life that not many people seem to be able to balance successfully. However, as having become creative helps become more reliable and having become reliable helps become more creative, I suggest that even the people with the "Stop your BS theory!" attitude take a balanced approach here and not let either side down.
So first, here comes the surrounding context (the way I see it) for my first post (it is long, so you probably want to skip it during the first read and scroll to "Immediate context:" to begin with):
Opinions needed :: Comment: opinion provided;
Anniversary :: Comment: congrats;
May 4: A private email? Possibly yes, so it won't be undisclosed, just mentioning the subject "On Dominators and Separation: A Bumpy Road to Love" and my reply that started with "Relevant why? Assuming that you are not secretly pushing a dominator agenda yourself, I don't see their relevance to the context of keeping you honest on topics like ..." that remained without a reply in my mailbox;
Selective mindf* :: Comment: dissecting the lurking female propagandist dominator’s mind;
BS removal :: Comment: thumbs up and a little co-op offer;
Immediate context (given below) after which I found myself unsubscribed;
Immediate context:
Focusing on secondary details + John Trudell about what really matters (thanks a lot, John) :: Comments: patch for the details, wise words about focusing on secondary details;
Throwing fellow fighters under the bus around the corner in a very fancy way :: Comments: idiots, additional context, a timely link (thanks a lot, Janet).
Although I didn’t unsubscribe myself from this community, I don't have much to add anyway, so with this little post to sum it up, I would simply like to say to the communities here on Substack that it is very important to have a lot of respect for the wisdom and actions of people like John Trudell and Janet McNeill who provide good working role models for how we keep the propagandists exposed and the abusers blocked with the help of tools like a very helpful guiding speech provided to us by the former and the swiftly corrected (put into appropriate context) video by the latter. A relatively small percentage of such people who are really competent community leaders in a hostile environment and understand what matters can bring about the turning of the tides eventually, I believe, so may all this wisdom and know-how flow and spread in cyberspace. And thanks to Tessa, of course, for coining the above mentioned fancy novel vocabulary and setting everything up in a different nudging way of her own that I just happen to be incompatible with in current context coming from the, say, planet described in the following philosophical article where you "shouldn't get too high or too low" nor take 180 degree turns in long-term decision-making like a context-missing vertical sighted idiot on a tennis court trying to make the highs higher and the lows lower in a no-joking battle that we have for a few years already like an emotion-driven painter staring stubbornly at the sky without a break amidst 17 million being killed in just 2 years and helping lift the culprits on a podium:
Philosophies from people with the strange passion of batting a yellow flying sphere
And last, but not least I feel that it is very important for driving the abusers of administrative positions out of power successfully to learn how to feel happy inherently, not just pretending on the facade and trying to dominate for stupid reasons. It's a topic that can't be covered in just a post or two as life tends to have many rewarding mysteries in store for those who keep trying at their very best reliably (NB! not stupidly reliably like a slave), but it revolves around the concepts of (timely) solitude, hard work, focusing on the meaning, the meaning of meaning and being brave and competent (hard work, you know...) to take the lead when everyone else fails and the going is tough for everybody, so I wish all the independent minds including joy addicts (doesn't mean joy is not important, but so is our sense of moderation, and being reasonable has its limits, too) and other otherwise valuable folks with more or less special needs here good luck with finding your way to your ubiquitous balance, common sense and a healthy attitude that would make it possible to join our key pieces of wisdom and know-how to counter the cowardly meaningless interest in fellow parasites that we remember from the previous empire of mass manipulation ready for a great fall about half a century ago as fittingly described by the following lyrics:
They see a red nose
And they want it painted black
No colors anymore
They want them to turn black
Compare these words similarly describing the process of swimming upstream in the current bitch mode totalitarian empire of ignorance. As the original, almost identical lyrics have a very different context and the resultant meaning, should playing with this meaning be compulsory homework for fellow fighters thinking in the semiotically problematic Russian language to see how easy it is to change the meaning of words completely with meaningless heartspeak, which could serve as a lesson for developing, say, educated spirituality (emotionality) instead of genuine stupidity that obviously is not in the position to help get closer to our common goal of keeping the administrative thugs honest?
Let these lyrics help summarize what we should focus on, i.e. protecting first and foremost the independent minds capable of bringing about remarkable change to drive the control freaks aiming at stealing our work out of power. That's it for now as there will be a long break from my posts here, because I need to finish the entry versions of two other defense projects along the same lines, the development of one of which you can see in progress online already and support it here to extend my presence on Substack and elsewhere where necessary:
