The goal is to help typical people become aware of empowering ideas and solutions, new and old, by providing them researchable alternatives to start from, so they may help themselves.
To gather top-notch information together to put on Goat Matrix, Projex.Wiki, WikiSpooks, etc. - AND - to draft into freely downloadable printable pamphlets to distribute. Perhaps this project might even gather enough for a booklet or book. Certainly some of this information may be useful for some of the video content I'm developing on Projex.Wiki (ie. Santa Libertas). Some from my local Windsor/Essex freedom community, WEFreedom.ca, will certainly get involved if we get the ball rolling. (Be kind to them please if/when they arrive.)
But to gather information we must determine which issues are most important above others, to whom, and why - so we may address those first to potentially help more.
But first we must gather the list of topics to rate and order.
Also:
For every red pill and black pill we must also provide white pills of hope, alternatives, and solutions we may all choose to participate in.
Please leave tribalistic politics and divisive distractions out of it. I don't have time for Left vs Right or culture-war bullshittery.
If we can set a weekly issue (theme) to focus on (akin to movie night) then perhaps we can focus on sharing relevant thematic information. There are certainly more than 52 topics to cover in a year, but we may adapt, revisit issues, and add more.
There is no rush, so even after each week has passed more information can still be shared. Curating the information into presentable content will take time - more than a week.
If you have suggestions on how to improve this project, the methodology, the questions, the issues/themes, definitions, or anything - please don't be shy.
These will be in the poll list to rate, so don't bother repeating them without new insights. Many of these are already subs we can refer to and build on. This list is far from complete.
What do you think of this project?
What are the most important issues?
What are the best ways to organize this project?
What was not asked, but should be?
Suggestions?
I think we need to talk about mental health as most shooters seem to be mentally ill in some way.
Agreed.
However, I wouldn't call it a critical issue. It's disruptive, distracting, and divisive - but it only actually affects a small number of people - compared to cancer or economic collapse affecting millions, perhaps billions.
Further, I don't know what we can do about it besides share information. There's more information we can share about my examples of cancer or economic collapse, how to prevent them, how to prepare for them, and how to endure, survive, sustain, and thrive.
I tried to avoid too many repetitions, but there are some across several bullet points - so I added PsyOps, PsyWar, and Transhumanism to Mental health.
I've got some new ideas to also consider.
I'd like to rotate through different types of issues (that may overlap).
Different people will react differently to these different types.
Type 1 is altruistic, may help people, and earn trust. This is an entry wedge that may open the resistant to more info.
Type 2 warning is good, but should also include a bit of awareness and a bunch of alternatives and solutions.
Type 3 prepping is all about alternatives and solutions.
Type 4 awareness is more of a step back, overview, and contextual understanding.
Semantics matter: Typically I avoid "freedom fighter", as fighting is not good, plus, are you fighting for or against freedom. So try to be more specific with "resisting tyranny". Similarly "protect freedom" and "protect children" are concepts that are hard to argue with. If you don't agree, you might be anti-semantic.
Cyber war should be moved to the 2nd group I think, also you could add Robotics (including killer robots and drones) to AI group.
I was using /s/Outbreaks topic on notabug/saidit, so gonna use it here too for consistency, could be added as another keyword to this group.
Religious fanaticism could be added here as a more abstract term.
All fantastic suggestions! Edited. Sometimes a better term can make a big difference.
All wars start with lies in the mind. Cyber war has been added to Propaganda. Plus I copied in Technocracy and Transhumanism from Governance.
Everything could be added, as everything is connected to everything else.
(Kind of like music genres. Country + rap = country rap. Gospel + funk = gospel funk.)
Yes, disease was/is too vague.
Is fanaticism better than extremism?
Extreme is often related to politics and sports.
Fanaticism is often related music and movie fans.
So maybe "religious tyranny"?
How can anyone justify sinning so heinously without relying on some supernatural loophole?
Ironically a lot of Zionist Jews are evil atheists (supported by Zionist Christians).
I had a great conversation with a few Christians the other night, me being the only atheist. They just can't wrap their head around being good for goodness sake. One kept asking if I was in Nazi times... I did have two questions put to me that I couldn't answer well at the moment, but given a day to reflect I can. I wasn't even prepared for any conversation that night. How many times, "If I had just said..." But that's a whole other discussion.
Wiki says both are used, but the entry is called "Religious fanaticism" so I went with that.

Good reference. But IMO it doesn't go far enough.
People are free to be and get as crazy as they are/need/want - until it impacts others involuntarily.
Further, we should avoid alienating folks that may otherwise not be offended.
We must avoid pejoratives in general, but especially if people may pseudo-identify with tribalistic groups.
