Comment on Why can't our tech billionaires learn anything new?

It’s down (&up!) to us to teach them.

Internet runs on open source. Facebook, Google, Apple, twatter, Microsoft are all ways they’ve painted it, but the bare bones of the net is based on open source servers.

Open sourced communications are what need to be used, developed (fediverse seems like a nice collaboration of platforms, a restart). Back to Usenet! (Dunno…just spitballing here)

We need to focus on World Wealth rather than hoarding imaginary currencies.

My mind’s eye of Wealthy Earth is a place where everyone is connected to, sustained by, developmental of, & grateful to our collective Earth ship that circles the sun for daily, yearly sustenance & inspirations.

Note to self: Learn to connect! Learn to grow! Learn to build. We don’t need governments, corporations or boundaries to build a better planet. They’re stop gap measures who’s times are due. They’ve fostered disconnection, dependencies: we’ve been Stockholm syndrome capitalists for thousands of years. We don’t need capital to connect with plants, fungii, & the billions of microbiomes within our own bodies and in our environments. We need ourselves & each other. We need to cultivate understanding & exchange with the Earth for foods, medications, shelters & toys (transportation, computer & other technologies to name a few). Anything done by corporations or governments was done by humans. We can do better with and without the greedy overlords by combining & collaborating knowledge & experience in pursuit of healthier, happier, balanced & creative life on Earth. Do it with gratitude.

I want to believe that we can each develop a connection that provides us with basic needs (food, shelter, medication, transportation & dress) and close or local communities that help grow those connections to fruition, as well as tend to greater aspirations & larger needs (computers, conversations, medical development).

Looking to RichardStallman& LinusTorvalds with gratitude for open source software bounties; Paul Stamets, Merlin Sheldrake & the brothers McKenna for reminders that decomposers provide composers with building blocks & insight. The grift of capital culture needs to be lichen-ized/myco-remediated. Their shit stinks & has too long poisoned the planet.

Grow, brew, build, & create better wherever you may be. This whole planet can regrow to be an Amazonian Eden - and beyond!
