I am a #queer college student living in the US semi-rural south. My family moved every year, never having the money to renew leases or keep all of the utilities on. Now, I’m living with extended family to try kickin’ it in one stable place.

#Guestarticle by #Peter #Addor: “On #truth and #reality”
For a deeper understanding, I would also like to refer once again to my somewhat older #essay “The #paradigmshift”, which attempts to shed light on this #connection between “truth and reality” on the basis of the #realismdebate, the #concept of truth and the connection between #ontology and #epistemology in #theoryofscience.

Although he made it possible for #Trump, to win the #Election. But then he started an #Investigation on Trump. It's #Revenge now.

In her talk, Laura Miele emphasizes that while #socialmedia often leads to increased #loneliness due to shallow interactions and constant comparisons, #gaming offers a remedy. #Games provide genuine human #connection, foster collaboration, and combat isolation. By engaging with 3–5 friends, players can build meaningful bonds, making gaming a powerful tool for combating the loneliness epidemic.
“Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity." ~ Terri Guillemets
"In an uncertain economy, resilience isn't built alone. It’s built together." - Futurist Jim Carroll
I've long shared this quote on stage: "If I have an idea and you have an idea, we have two ideas. If we share those ideas, we have a movement."
That's the power of collaboration - something that is one of the most important hidden assets of any organization.
And, you know what I am going to say - in an economic downturn, this becomes more important than ever before. It becomes a battle of collaboration vs. isolation, with a simple reality that while crises make teams turn inward, their outward connection creates resilience.
Organizations that build stronger networks during downturns emerge stronger, faster, and future-ready.
Why is that? Ideas are currency, fuel for recovery, and the more ideas flow, the more collaborative thinking flows. That's why in volatility, connection beats isolation. And yet, economic volatility often triggers a dangerous instinct: retreat. Organizations turn inward, teams break into silos, and collaboration shrinks - and as a result, creativity suffocates and the idea factory slows down or worse, stops.
But if history has shown us anything, it’s this: organizations that lean outward—toward partnerships, extended idea ecosystems, and shared ideas—are the ones that not only survive uncertainty but surge ahead when recovery comes.
The fact is that isolation fractures resilience. Collaboration builds it. So the most important thing you can be doing right now is to build your collaborative spirit.

"There’s a certain dark irony in watching tech #billionaires who built their empires on the “democratizing power of technology” now actively working to dismantle #democraticinstitutions. The same figures who once championed #connection and #openness are now the architects of the most dangerous centralization of power in modern history."

On a #coding mission to improve my #poser lib .
In the current implementation of #swad, I don't really like that I need an extra thread, just to control a child #process. A first piece to add to poser is generic "child process support", which I'm testing right now. I realized I could reuse my #Connection class, which was built for #sockets, but works just as well with #pipes
TODO now is mostly testing. See screenshots for some mimimal testing code and its output ... would you like this kind of interface?

Currency Shift

The last part of the book Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves discusses conversations between people who may not agree. Other books have tackled this subject at length, so I won’t rehash the ideas here.
While some of the ideas in the book aren’t new (to me), I think they could be applied to collective benefit, both in person and on social media. Less one-upmanship, fewer “gotcha” questions, less correction, less ego. More question asking, more connection, and more kindness, most of all.
