Let's be light. Citizen of the Earth 🌍 Dad guided by my children ✨ Explorer of my consciousness 🌌 Creating and sharing npub1552zjwpsma2vf490yyzgkhqlqs2q8s4cwdxs7u4d37we5rh3nk3stmzjtz 🌱 In a previous life, I co-created, led and handed over the crowdinvesting platform WE DO GOOD, pioneering revenue sharing finance (RBF) in Europe, for a fairer finance. 🛠️ Anarchist – communalist – cooperativist. Probably. Open source, crypto, direct democracy, basic income. Decentralize everything. I believe in my self sovereignty and yours, that freedom is a choice, that consent is sexy, that love is the fundamental force of life and that everything is one. 🌀 Banner image ©Tim Swallow - If we die tomorrow
What if burning out and cracking down was not a system failure but the beginning of true maturity? Anicca Jains' book, Ask Anicca – Humanity arrested development and the quest to grow up, is astounding to me. Personally speaking, going through it, and also thinking about the epidemic of burnouts in modern society. I somehow already knew this, but reading this clearly stated is very helpful. I highly recommend it. #burnout #health #mentalhealth
Sort your packaging. Don't let the light on. Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. Take a shower rather than a bath. Don't eat too fatty, sweety or salty. Respect nature. And forget. That half the plastic is not recycled whereas lobbying killed returnable containers. That advertising screens are always on. That the water you put in your mouth and on your body is contaminated with pesticides and microplastics. That you poop in (drinkable) water. That industrial food is filled with addictive additives. To respect nature within yourself.

The industrial agricultural production gives tasteless fruits and vegetables, besides being poor in nutrients. Until then I thought it was just the inexorable result of aiming at economic efficiency. Then I started to doubt. May there be, beyond least cost production, an intention to degrade the taste of unprocessed food? Are we pushed to industrial cuisine, augmented with salt, sugars and addictive additives? The more I think about it, the less naive I feel. #food #health
Ultimately, freedom is having your time at your disposal. If learning and using freedom tech requires too much time, doesn't it become alienating too? Many people will actually find more freedom in using proprietary tech because it gives them the most direct access to the free use of their time. Until their attention gets stolen of course.
Do you know any music player on Android that would be open source, manage multi genres on tracks and tag edition? Auto / "smart" playlists would be great too. GoneMAD was the only one I found which does all of this but it is not open source and switched from a paying model to a free with ads model. So I'm reluctant to update it... #asknostr #opensource #music
