All Night Libraries

Could be so cool to have all night sensory friendly libraries, with nice warm soft lighting, and cute comfy whimsical furniture, art and plants. Where people could just go and read all night, hang with friends and even sleep there in the available rest spaces like hammocks or a little capsule hotel in the library. Very lunarpunk. Would call mine the Moonlight Library

I'm writing a plan for a solarpunk social revolution

I think at this point we all have an understanding that things in the world aren't good. That's useful information, but that's also only step one.

Next, is broadly to figure out, "what the heck do we do?"

I've been doing a lot of listening and reading about that, and I'm trying to formulate my thoughts, to create a guide of sorts. I'm gonna sketch out my framing for it, with the areas of focus and basic tenants. This is going to be an iterative process, so let me know what you think about this! If u have the stuff to add or change, I'm cool with that!

Basic Needs (Pillars for Life)

These are the things that people deserve to be provided in order to live a comfortable life. The brave new world should be able to provide these things.

Shelter: A safe and secure place to live is essential for a comfortable life. This could be a house, apartment, or another type of dwelling.

Food and water: Adequate nutrition and hydration are essential for maintaining good health and well-being.

Clothing and personal items: Clothing and personal items such as toiletries help people feel clean and presentable, and can also provide protection from the elements.

Health care: Access to quality health care is important for maintaining physical and mental well-being

Transportation: Having access to reliable transportation can make it easier to get to work, run errands, and participate in activities.

Communication: Being able to communicate with others, whether through phone, email, or other means, can help people stay connected and feel less isolated.

Education: Access to education can help people gain knowledge, skills, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Technology, electricity, and internet access: Access to technology and the internet can facilitate communication, education, and access to information and resources.

Art, Media, Entertainment, and Play: People often need activities or hobbies that provide enjoyment and help them relax and de-stress.

Social connections: Strong social connections and a sense of community can provide support, companionship, and a sense of belonging.

Financial stability: Having access to sufficient financial resources can help people meet their basic needs and feel more secure.

Personal safety and Defense: Feeling safe and secure in one's environment is essential for a comfortable life.

Levels/Spheres of Liberation

These are the levels at which liberation needs to occur. There's an interplay between each level: for example, you have to a reach certain standard of self-love before you can make meaningful connections with others. The more connected with yourself you are, the more connected with others you can be.

Internalized Liberation: Internalized Liberation is a state of radical self-love.

Interpersonal Liberation: Interpersonal Liberation is a state in which love is fully and freely given to all others. 

Institutional Liberation: Institutional Liberation is a state of radical inclusion, where all organizations see equity as their responsibility and use an equitable process framework in perpetuity.

Systemic Liberation: Systemic Liberation is a state in which we have reconfigured societal relationships to resources to allow for ingenuity and social protections to coexist, creating the interconnected circumstances under which all people have the resources, access, and opportunity to thrive.

Environmental Liberation: Environmental Liberation is a state of harmony with the environment. Reconnecting with nature and understanding our place in it.

Ideological Liberation: Ideological Liberation is a state in which we have fully transcended and have no need for social constructs such as race; a reality where we are unbound by identity defined in contrast to others; individuals are unconflicted and feel a full and authentic sense of belonging in all spaces.

Guiding Principles

These guiding principles are the values which underpin the revolution; these are the unarguable, foundational ideas that make up the basic requirements for the movement.

Grassroots/Direct democracy: people should manage their own affairs. If something only affects you, then you do what you want. Things that affect others should involve them in the process. The goal is to find the balance between individual and collective autonomy, where the combination of each is greater than the sum of its parts.

Social Ecology: Our foundational understanding of nature is based on hegemonic values that separate us from it. This thinking coincided with the domination of people by other people around the beginning of civilization. By trying to reconnect with nature and see ourselves as part of it, while also upholding the values of liberty, solidarity, and equality, we can work towards mending our environmental and social relations.

Decentralization: civilization is an extremely complex system, and the most successful complex systems balance order and chaos thru decentralized forms. Highly centralized systems like the prevailing ones simplify things and standardize things to make them easier to manage. Having unique communities that federate based on need and shared projects leads to more resilient, creative, and emergent societies.

Anti-hierarchy, domination, and coercion: revolutions have to be led by the people, for the people. Forcing a mode of operation onto others is a non-starter. Freedom with subjugation is no freedom at all.

Liberty: people should be free to live how they want, so long as those desires don’t harm others. Matters should be decided with a maximal preference for that balance.

Free Association: all relations should be voluntary. No one should have the power to force a relationship, whether it’s for work, play, or community.

Solidarity Economies: programs, organizations, and projects that prioritize the well-being of the community over other concerns.

Diversity as Power: intersectional understanding of different identities people hold and how that informs their experiences being alive. Along with this, a recognition that the diversity of experiences heightens the chance for emergent solutions to problems.

Levels of Organization

Organizing at different scales.

Affinity Groups: a small group that’s tightly knit and focused on very specific alignment. Similar thoughts on issues, and similar interests in projects and actions.

Communes/Neighborhood Pods: connecting with people in your geographical vicinity, uniting on shared issues to be solved, moreso than shared ideology.

Organizations (platform orgs, ideological orgs, social orgs): Groups trying to change the world for the better. There would be platform orgs that contribute to ideological orgs and social orgs to provide cohesion between different projects and strengthen community resilience through federation within the community and its disparate projects.

Prisons: writing letters to prisoners and creating specific programs to abolish the modern-day slave complex that is the prison system.

Schools and Educational Bodies: creating revolutionary unions for students, staff, and faculty, and making efforts to gain direct democratic control of education.

Workplaces (Unions and Cooperatives): starting revolutionary syndicates for traditional workplaces, and starting directly democratic, horizontally run businesses.

Cities/Counties: tying all of the above things together through assemblies to have citizens directly decide on things that affect the whole city/county geographical area.

Regions: tying multiple cities/counties together, making decisions on projects that affect the region (big infrastructure and the like). This will still be directly democratic. The people who are affected by the decision will be the ones to come to the decision.

"Nations": tying multiple regions together to make very large decisions that affect the whole landmass.

Those're pretty much the areas that I'm thinking about. Am I missing anything?

I know climate change is immediate and overwhelming, but the atitufe of “we can’t do things that take time, we need to stop it now” often just leads to doing nothing.

Hot take, but if you think we need to fight climate change immediately, then learning how it would look to do so over time is actually the first step. Because then you can figure out how to speed it up. But just saying “we need to overthrow all the world governments and institutions and capitalism and make an ecological system today” won’t make it happen today. Your right. It would be best if we did those things. But you don’t know how. So plant some fucking native plants and pull up invasive species and for the love of god start fucking talking to people and making friends because you cannot do this alone. Start building community and learning things.

If you think it’s so urgent, why wait for the revolution? Shouldn’t we start now?

i liked the fact that hbomb pointed out that in the absence of money, social capital still drove copying and stealing. a lot of times, you get the "(pulls mask of bad thing) it was capitalism the whole time!!!" moment in video essays but it really doesn't cover like. the general human capacity to do these things at small scale for no or negative monetary benefit

#this falls under my 'i don't trust you if capitalism could be replaced with the christian devil' clause #ie 'you're depressed because of capitalism so the only solution is revolution!!!!' might as well be #'you are depressed because of the devil and the solution is going to church/the kingdom of heaven' to me #it's not a useful thing to say or perpetuate #don't get me wrong. capitalism is bad. but i need specific nuance levels and i don't think it should be applied to individual people #or general bad tendencies displayed by human nature. there is no holistic freedom from all need that i can possibly conceive of #hbomberguy

I love empire now by hozier it’s one of his best songs in recent memory in my opinion. and it is also, I have to admit, about max verstappen.

#LISTEN #future so bright it’s burning #the empire now is Merc dominance #a world that’s easy now = max’s current dominance #and the transition from a dream come around to a world that’s easy now = the difference between 2021 and all the years that came after #going to go out on a limb also and say martyrs of our revolution = daniel #also there’s SOMETHING there with problem brought it’s own solution but idk what #I need the max scholars of the fandom to help me out maybe #max verstappen #hozier #empire now #maxiel #< maybe. probably. #also any song with scratchy guitar and bass that sounds like a car engine is about f1 I don’t make the rules

y know, now talking outside the USA & about the world in general, it's so funny how conservatives can actually organize together and set a plan in motion years in the making just to fulfill their agendas. while the left sits around idling fighting between themselves over stupid minuscule ideological differences and worrying about not upsetting the power in charge & in doing so accomplish jack shit while letting the conservatives enact their draconic plans

and by funny i mean the biggest tragedy in post-Soviet history

#it's like y'all didn't understand what workers of the world unite even meant #i mean i know u guys didn't read the manifesto but cmon man #u can't do a revolution from your pc armchair let's be real #the biggest failure of every single leftist party in the world is how they all let the liberals radicalize the youth into conservatism #like woah thanks for doing nothing to stop that. now we gotta deal with incel rethoric for the next 20 years while losing every single right #and it's disgusting that the only solution (since ppl are so adverse to do actual political work in their commune) is waiting until society #actually collapses and whomever are left are forced to react #anyways en resumen: andá a militar bobo #no queda otra que prender fuego el congreso

Kinda wild how all the bacteria in your gut have their own DNA, like they are not related to you, they don't have your DNA in them, they are just separate lil beings that just live in your gut. They don't even know they live inside a human, but you are their whole universe

AI is becoming more and more important. It promises to make things more efficient, safe, and help us make better decisions. But sometimes people see AI as something bad or evil. Why?

I’ve been working in the AI field for 10 years.

Ethics. When AI makes decisions without human control, it raises questions about who's responsible if something goes wrong. If a self-driving car has an accident or a financial AI system causes a stock market crash, who should be blamed? This lack of clear rules makes people worry about AI's role in society.

Another concern is that it can be misused. There are worries about autonomous weapons or surveillance systems that invade our privacy. AI can also have biases that lead to unfairness and discrimination. These things can lead peeps to think that AI is a force that can harm us. (It is, but…)

Another reason is fear of the unknown. People are often scared of things they don't understand, and AI can be really complex. As AI becomes more advanced, it's harder for even the people who create it to understand everything about how it makes decisions. This makes some people worry that AI could become uncontrollable or have goals that are different from ours.

Idk the answers to this, just expressing thoughts.

do other non ancient creatures need to use rebreathers?

nah! unlike the Ancients the creatures were forced to adapt naturally n so they did. evolution is fast as fuck on this planet, i like to think, n the respawn cycle Somehow helps. prolly some Folk God was like

@ this atmospheric bullshit change n started helping animals out (or maybe the Ancients did some work personally as well)

ultimately, if the Ancients didn't fight the atmospheric change with technology in This direction, they could've been fine with it too, eventually. but unlike the animals they had the meeeeeaaans so we shall dodge all the suffering and go for the easiest n quickest solution possibleeeeeee

#spot says stuff #rw #you know how some people have the tendecy to slap a metaphorical bandage on somethin n when it holds for longer than like... #two days they call it good enough for the long run? yeah. das what happened #MAYBE they wouldve searched for better solution to That if the void revolution didnt happen n then the iterators and at that point the- #-mentality started shifting towards the suicidal shit so they went 'why bother' n thats where it ended #dunno tho maybe the local version of japan did smth better that didnt end up implemented in other places i wouldnt be surprised
