Last Notes npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Pourquoi le Portugal ? 🙂 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I use both nostr (on amethyst) and mastodon. I can't help feeling better on nostr. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I can say of myself that I am a pretty naive person. I tend to believe spontaneously people when they tell me something. I can also say of myself that I am relatively slow to understand. I tend do ask naive questions when the meaning of something is not clear to me. I happen to be mocked for this. For a long time, I believed that I was the issue. I did not have enough legitimacy. I did not have enough culture. My questions were poorly phrased. I was simply not enough. However, despite my auto-repression self protective system not to look dumb, a part of me would occasionally find the crack to let a silly question go out. It was only when I was able to go over the embarrassment phase, when I found the courage to insist, or even ask further questions to understand better, that I could realize that the person in front of me actually did not have the answers. That their understanding was quite superficial. And that their mocking was essentially their own protective system, a reverse mirror of mine. Those experiences, first unconscious, are what let this part of me keep a tiny room. As I become more mature emotionally, I can see it with more clarity. Accept it. Stand by it. Love it. I even chose to give it more space. We should never be afraid to ask questions. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar It's only because I made the same confusion when I first discovered Zapwork 😅 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar My current short answer would be: by establishing themselves as the state. It is still a work of understanding in progress, but as I see it, modern states are byproducts of capitalism, not opposing structures. The following note dives into it. I would add an historical perspective that modern states and democracies were established by what I would call a oligopoly of bourgeois employers accessing power thanks to the industrial revolution and creating a settlement institution for themselves. In the name of the people, but with an entry price (cens). #nevent1q…f7l8 Please let me know what you think of it. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar It is what I have seen on Bittasker. Maybe confusing it with zapwork? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Bayer? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar "Transformation often arrives not through power, but through cracks, confusions, compost, and companionship." Báyò Akómoláfé npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Daily commute? 😄 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I once read something really interesting about scam and us just being human: we need to trust each other at some point to survive. Being scammed would then just be the occasional price to pay to be able to live together. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Thank you for the precision and reference. Thomas Sowell's work seems very interesting. I would not define myself as a marxist. As spotted in the post, anarchist comes first. I believe putting certain things in the commons is necessary to guarantee freedom, but also in free market. I reject statism and favor a convivialist-local scale. My main pain point with capitalism is about how to prevent monopolies and capital concentration to occur. I have come to think that free market is not enough and capitalism logically ends up forming a crony elit of oligarchs. Regarding sexual unconstrained behaviour and looking at history, it seems to me that it is more a general trend for elites than a marxist thing, only getting worse at the end of an era. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I have received mine today 🙂 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Beautiful. #nevent1q…hgs4 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Aside the distraction and media circus, this is actually very related. Dynamics of american politics can bring or stop a war. Epstein files impact the dynamics of american politics Epstein files are also linked to Israel, which is also implicated in an potential (current?) war against Iran. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Or doctors and nurses jobs are made (deliberately?) useless and impracticable by the political system, big tech and AI npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Welcome! npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I am not saying "violence is never an answer". I am saying ruling by fear and violence is not sustainable to build a free society. I get your point on the severe reset needed, I will process that too 🙂 Related to the topic, but unrelated to serious concern, I recommend this pleasant comic about the only surviving male on earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y:_The_Last_Man npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Thank you! 🙏 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I totally agree. What I am looking for is indeed a free society, and the question of what would be the necessary foundations for it. So I have looked into many systems and anarcho communism seems to be the closest thing to a free society I have found. What brought me there is the often missing question of how to prevent a few people to take power over others. If this question does not have a solid answer, we can open spaces for freedom only until it is overtaken. Anarcho capitalism fails to answer this (how to prevent monopoly in a free market). If some people fall under the power of others, my freedom is threatened by this growing power. In order to be lastingly free, I need everyone to be free too. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Not sure why you bring that up, but it seems to apply well to capitalist billionaires of today too. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Most people don't actually want #capitalism (understood as the possibility for one actor to accumulate an inifinite amount of private property). Who really want billionaires to call the shots for them? What we want is a decent amount of capital to live, freedom to interact with people and the market, and be rewarded (or more specifically recognized) when we work hard. The decent amount of capital we need to live is lowered when we put and keep certain things into commons (fresh air, clean water... But also open source infrastructures). npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Hello! I agree with all of the above. Just pointing out as I was researching this matter recently for my woman: this good old (and clunky) wordpress also does the job. Wordpress + jetpack plugin if self-hosted (really easy with many hosting providers) for automatic newsletters and monetization (all integrated on wordpress.com) Other alternatives if needed: https://leavesubstack.com/ npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Working fine on Amethyst npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Thank you for that. Challenges, especially of perspective, are what make them evolve. I am building mine thanks to confrontations of ideas and perspectives I have come across. So it's really an invitation to anyone who want to have sincere and honest talk about it. I did not now about spiral dynamics or the work of Ken Silver but I will check this and it resonates for me. "The question therefore becomes, which kind of capitalism AND communism AND much more on other dimensions do I want to represent." I love this sentence. Words do indeed carry a lot of weight, I agree I should take care of that, knowing that I need them to communicate with others and call a cat a cat. But this is the main issue. What are we even exactly talking about when we use words such as capitalism or communism? We all have our own biased perception. This takes work, patience and commitment to define and refine the right words to communicate with others and pass this biases. This work I am willing to do. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I am not. You tackle my bio, I answer. If you are not interested in debating and sharing information, what are you doing here? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Just so I know, are you a father? Or do you speak from what you imagine? Either way, are you familiar with montessori pedagogy or unschooling? Children have many things to teach us. Even some great ancient man living in Palestine recognised it. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Men chosing to wear blinders... This is sad. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar It can go both ways. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar It even feels unreal npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar You can assume whatever you want. Humor is very relative across people and cultures, and it is often very confusing on nostr. Would you mind telling me what is the nonsense you reject? By the way I updated my bio so I hope it is a little more clear. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Really? Like what? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I agree. At the same time, I need to participate in this world. So I put ephemeral words on the current state of my political vision of the word. Feel free to challenge it. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Exactly. People usually don't know what they are talking about when it's about communism. America has been brainwashed to think communism is the USSR or China. Because you need an absolute enemy for capitalist leaders (not you, those with billions). Anarcho communism is a thing and has actually been crushed by the USSR. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I do not agree with that. Ruling by fear and violence is what we human are constantly doing, with this tale that this or that violence will be the last. But it will not. It always creates just another cycle of grief, pain and violence. Offenders have children, families, active roles in communities. Furthermore, fear has very often (if not always) been proven ineffective in the long run. But I would not expect spontaneous change in the goodness of aggressors' heart. And I really like the idea of a clear removal of violent people, as stated in your other post about matriarchy. I absolutely agree we need this. I would rather suggest a real investment of the whole society on this cancer, at least giving a choice: surveiled real therapy or capital punishment. Just as we should investigate more (or just stop blinding ourselves) on the roots and causes of cancer. Learn, do prevention, and treat. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Thank you, I have read that. Still processing... npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I guess I am uncucked enough not to follow you. My sensibility is hurted those days by people committing genocide or sexual assault on children. Otherwise I am fine, thanks. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar The truth is I don't care looking like a fool to you. And you are the one actually running away from legit questions. If there is something obvious to you, maybe an irony, that I do not get in this video, probably for culrural reasons, please explain. The good thing for me is I get to refine my profile to make it more clear for people who have been brainwashed (as I was) about communism. Apparently it makes you laugh. So, good for you too. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Some people do not even realize how communist (as in putting things in commons) it is to develop and share #opensource software. Many people here actually do not even try to understand what communism is and still mix it up with what really is state capitalism. #communism #capitalism npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar What capitalism does #nevent1q…f7l8 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Please explain your point and let's check who is the sadest. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Hello! 😀 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar What nation tried communism according to you? Do you even know what anarchist communism (libertarian communism) is? And what is the connection with beating women anyway? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Sport on television has been so wrong for so long for children. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Did women hurt you? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Good opportunity to use natural wool (that needs handwashing) 😉 npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I guess capital holders have no counter power anymore, unions are dead... npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar To date the best analysis of nostr vs activitypub I have read so far, very accurate at pointing out current nostr's limits as I have experienced it. #naddr1qq…watu npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar It should not be tolerated, but the more I think about it, the more I see it as a feature of our current society, not a deviant behaviour. It's sex and rape as a domination war weapon, nothing new except we discover it's not just a soldier thing but also an elite thing. Not that surprising in the end. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Are we? I think the nightmare was there all along with the sweet dream, just hidden in the dark, where we would not dare to look, naive, scared or hypocritical, or all... npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar #anarchism does work well with #capitalism, for those who join the club #nevent1q…mr6p npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar That's what I say to anarcho-capitalists : this is already anarcho-capitalism, what more do you want? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Everyday it seems that the world (and especially western) way of being hypocritical is made more obvious, yet nothing seems to change... yet. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar People abusing children were often abused themselves. Therefore killing them is killing both offenders and victims. This is a society issue, not just some bad folks' crime that we would magically make disappear by killing them all. I believe we can do better than that to end those vicious cycles. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar And a mother, by the way npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar https://fountain.fm/episode/F66g9dYzfwnjdtws2cUO npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Not sure, because the US need MUCH more money to maintain control over the world, so taxes may rise but it's all for the military (and associates), sorry. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I am not sure we have even seen communism in modern times, probably just state capitalism. Towards state or private monopoly... same same. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar A little update for my profile picture. The previous one was from 2013... Enjoying the magic of a snowy day in a place where it never snows (south of Bretagne / Brittany). npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar We were talking about fixing massive illegal immigration. But welfare is essentially a western privilege that would be harder to maintain without exploiting the rest of the world. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Who really cares? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Or maybe just stop messing around with other countries, destabilising their politics and climate for resources and domination. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Quand j'ai entendu parler d'Urban VPN il y a quelques années, j'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi c'était gratuit, j'avais eu du mal à trouver. Cela ne me surprend pas aujourd'hui. Mais qu'est-ce que c'est sournois ! npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar The positive aspect of international news is that it also shows we’re entering a more genuine world. We no longer need pretenses such as claiming the existence of weapons of mass destruction to attack a country (it’s enough to state plainly that we want its oil), pretending the UN works (just ignore its rules and attack its representatives), or even democracy (the same). We all already knew this, yet we still pretended to believe it (especially Westerners). It’s time to accept that, despite a few peace successes (mainly among ourselves), we have been living in illusion. I choose to see this early‑year anxiety as an invitation to embrace our own truth for this new cycle. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Work out time?

Finally some insights about this feeling I had too! This happens as soon as kindergarten : in a montessori teaching school, the teacher is converned about kids being more and more risk averse every year, not wanting to try new things... Just one other example in daily life. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Thank you for this ressource, very clear. My big criticism of anarcho-capitalism is about not addressing the concern of the institutions weight on human capabilities and "radical monopolies". In my opinion, the very possibility of the latter totally undermines the possibility of anarchism. I think that in a way, we already live under some kind of anarcho-capitalism : anarchism for the richest, not for the rest of us (panama papers, etc). So convivialism integrates that criticism, but I feel like it's more a philosophy than a possible practical implementation to make monopolies "impossible". Municipalism adds an intermediate institutional layer at a convivial scale that as for now seems to me necessary to prevent the emergence of monopolies appropriating commons thus preventing anarchy. So the difference is thin, while anarcho-convivialism defines the principles, anarcho-municipalism would add a base layer. However, I understand that this base layer should be very limited in power not to become the local monopoly on power... Thoughts in process... npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar I guess I am a crypto anarcho municipalist, if that is a thing... npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar "What do we do as the world burns?

One way to get the "right" balance seems to have been to embrace seasonal changes in semi nomadic peoples, like getting the institution for big/huge gathering (winter) and destroying it every summer, with different mechanisms such as rotating the winter ruling tribe... But modernity is very different especially in that we have less and less individual space to split and are mainly settled... Anyway these experiences can be sources of inspiration to resolve our current paradox: alternating rulers (not the same as voting for them), alternating the very structure of society... npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar It's about time I start readng him! npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Sure, but I can't think of any institution that remained this way. But it is maybe because those who planned their own ending or vanishing have been forgotten... You mentioned the ethereum foundation in another post, so I was wondering if it would be able to maintain its goal or if it would at some point just opt for survival as long as possible. npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar Isn't it already there, on X, Facebook etc? npub1qr4p7uamcpawv7cr8z9nlhmd60lylukf7lvmtlnpe7r4juwxudzq3hrnll Jean-David Bar "First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.

Then started over with #ubuntu, ready to fight. But everything worked like a breeze, no further "manual"/cli action to take. It feels like windows vs. macos on ui and ux.
