DigiSnaxx vol. 2

I'm sorry to keep harping on this; though I remember when I half jokingly told the KFAI Board of Directors that I had survived the people who adopted me.

This was nearly 20 years ago ... but even then, I was able to enunciate the reality I was living; and it's only become more pronounced since.

It's actually horrifying to realize how many people just went along with it; and we wonder how the USA can get to the place it is ... I don't.

I think that is why growth is so important to me ... and it isn't linear, it is cyclical; and that is why I keep returning to this thought, because I'm not yet out of its shadow.

Even in the best of us, the question is, do we have the humility to be better?

It's a very difficult question; do we even want to be better?

Whiteness has reached apex predator status, and said, "Nah, I'm good enough here."

Another curious thought I had ... America is supposed to be a shining beacon of light saying, "Colonization is for the best."

And we are seeing the consequences of such an ethos / idea.

The woman who bought me ... needed to be believe that adoption was for the best; which in my case, the best would have been a pleasant in-between.

I'm still acclimating to being safe ... because I actually am ... I'm safe to have time to find a job that aligns with my being ... my peers on all sides have no idea what this is like; but it's what I'm acclimated to internally: free choice.

Kind of, but not worth splitting hairs right now; on the other side, I wish to be as minimal as possible.

Everything I need basically fits in a set of 28 liter saddlebags, and a 36 liter tail-pack, on a 150cc motorcycle.

idioki has a few more folks in the community, and I'm being consistent about publishing content to the community; which is the key to me.

It feels maintainable, and that feels wonderful!

Next I'm just waiting on flyers; the concept is to publish free content twice per day to a WhatsApp Community – and eventually advertise classes for sale.

In theory, this could provide enough income to sustain myself while traveling around Colombia, building my other projects.

Anywho, that's where I'm at.

Colombia labor unions vote to strike

Well shit ... it looks like Colombia took one step closer to a General Strike, due to the collapse of labor reform.

A conservative media outlet did a pole that showed 89+% of people in favor of labor reforms; which a conservative politician shuttered last week.

It was actually astounding to watch ... the woman Paloma Valencia was just so incredibly condescending, the racism just seething out of her talking down ...

"This is how process works here because we are professionals ..." etc etc

What they did was inject an unnecessary appeal into the process, then spend the entire day discussing something unnecessary and eventually voting in a way that delays, or obstructs voting on labor reforms.

The president of the country even accused the Senate president of fraud; so general strike.

Anywho, no links yet, I've taken a break from that while I figure out more stable housing; which I've found, thankfully.

Complete Blackness / Incomplete Whiteness

Ok, this has been such a crazy, but in retrospect natural, transition ... Because in reality we've never really see Black men portrayed in their wholeness through the dominant media outlets, ever.

And now, on one side, you have your P Diddy, Jay-Z and R. Kelly's ... I said what I said .... and on the other side you have your Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Redman and Andre 3k's with the messages!

And they really are beautiful, positive, uplifting messages that all men need to hear and learn from ... messages that whiteness may be able to find the words for, but the dominant narrative has lost the experience/perspective of what would make true harvest of the words.

I'll let y'all find what finds you, I've stated a few names.

Brad Pitt is dating a woman half his age, and it not well-liked by his children; how's Kevin Spacy doing? Anyone ever look at Harvey Weinstein's IMDB? And I haven't even mentioned Epstein or the current cast of collared clowns.

Then we have Target getting punished for their CEO's positioning; as well, well Felon Husk may get this Golden Dome contract ... ridiculous ... but he's also been rejecting by the administration ... and finally we're hearing some talk of impeachment ... though it really needs the roots pulled as well.

Though again ... can we, or how might we start to see, a shift in the public politic and commensurate action ?

I've heard numbers, and we all repeat numbers ... 3-5% of concerted change within a population is enough to incite cultural shifts ... ok, what does that actually look like though?

The Next Dimension

Anywho, I came across this description of the 4th dimension and ... it felt clear enough to comprehend.

Once, when I was a young warthog ... A high school friend at-the-time smoked some cannabis and did some math homework, after which we posited the calculation of multiple dimensions, beyond the initial three.

We told our physics teacher ... who shared an article about Einstein positing multiple dimensions ... bro, I was addicted to the insights.

I didn't have the (emotional/social) resources to capitalize on any of it; but later, at University, Professor Marvin Marshak was the fraternity's faculty advisor. My interest catalyzed again by the proximity.

Which is part of how/why technology interests me so much, on a technical and cultural level, anywho, the video:

How can technology be used to help others, but from a perspective other than the transactional, two-sided capitalist market perspective.

A friend told me that when the printing press came out, the was lamentation that people would forget how to write and become dumber ... similar to fears about A.I.

Albeit a distant comparison; how can AI be used as a tool, rather than relying upon it as a solution for the loneliness epidemic?

New life, and some new music

Not by me, but listening to new music ... and I recently came upon this band out of Colombia:

Everyone gets mixed reviews, but ... I'm digging this presently.

Though also getting back into my lo-fi jams ... just peaceful music.

Just finally being allowed to live ... my life; I've never had the resources to do so; but at least at present, I don't have to be uncertain of resources in the near future.

And a solid base to start building a foundation for the days beyond.

While this feels solid, I published a copy of DigiSnaxx on LinkedIn earlier this week; and this will go out again on Thursday.

There aren't as many articles connected to this issue, but that's alright as well.

I'm still wrapping up loose-ends from leaving the US; still gathering a few more items for travel, etc.

Though these things, this life ... there is a sense of solidity to it ... a sense of completion, me feeling complete unto myself, in it all.

Today I had another issue to deal with regarding shipping, etc ... ugh ... but I didn't get mad, I didn't get overwhelmed ... I saw it for what it was, accepted it as it was, and perhaps found a solution, calmly.

I await to receive the items, though ... again, a sense of solidity and assurance; something it almost feels like the woman who adopted me never wanted to me to have ... that was their way of keeping me under their control.

By keeping me under resourced, just enough to force me that little extra bit of struggle, to make me look crazy ...

Yea, I survived that ... to leak little digisnaxx on the internet, like a brown orphan bastard ought to ;p

I do feel so thankful, one step at a time, one day at a time.

Gracias a Dios, a la Tierra, al Agua y a la Luz.

Hope y'all are well.

peaces,
