The truth is more similar than you'd expect, because whenever "a group takes over" what really happens is all the groups are shuffled, and people find themselves in social bubbles that align to their focus in life, and suddenly there's not "[y/our]" side but instead "this side and that side" or "that side and this side and that side and this side" or "that side and this side and her side and downside and rightside and [up/down] and pivot and roll and deploy aieriolons and other things that help the pilot guide their flight through the spacesound. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: messages/1250 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── if a bunch of people are in town for a conference then they should probably go confer. I think you can just... walk in to conference centers? you don't like, need an appointment or anything. There's often something going on, and if not, then you can at least wander around. maybe strike up conversations about industries you're in or things that you are thinking about lately or stuff you like like plant species or rock types or multidimensional solids or spheric sound or... actually that's pretty specific, here let's start with just bikeshedding (what does that mean again?) oh it's a cinema style where they take something and they put it in a bike out shed. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: messages/1251 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── there's also public parks, and who knows what might happen if you talk to someone randomly and then a bunch of people start to gather. I bet you could even say something like "hey do you want to go gather over there by the [cafeteria, but pronounced cafeter, but pronounced ca-feh-[taer, but pronounced like the back half of where]] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ -> file: notes/notes-about-democracy ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────── post-its by the suburban mailbox have done more for democracy than all the billions of dollars spent on marketing every year. those dollars don't go toward democracy. they go toward making one particular candidate win. and, as a handy side effect, they create a cohort of people who are willing to work together in. only amongst the volunteers though. everyone else can just feel bad until they decide to pitch in. "here's a dollar, I'll keep the dime, I know you need it more than me, but I still need mine." hey thanks brother I miss all the "hey thanks brother"s. where did they go. why is my family smaller. (because you don't go outside, you silly doll) I'm not a doll I'm a mystic there's a difference ... what was I saying? oh yes how silly of me. post-its by the mailbox can only go so far, but sometimes you can leave them at the bus stop station as well. well, they get mad at you if you do it too close to the tracks, so you gotta do it around there where it's easy to walk to and back. before the next train arrives. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧════───────┘ |
