Someone once said, "Information wants to be free."

This might be true.

However, organization requires structure. Structure requires constraint.

Perhaps information architecture is a paradox.

It is an amazing lesson for life I think:

If we each moderate and contain our own behaviour we get the civil, calming, space that is #Mastodon right now.

If we spend our time challenging others' awful behaviour we get the violent hellscape of the birdsite.

Rage is self-sustaining, addictive and counter-productive.

Oh look. Chinese bots are flooding Twitter in an attempt to obscure news about protests. Too bad there's no alternatives to Twitter.

Or is there? 🤔

The best things you can do for an #independent #author:

1 - Buy and read their #book.
2 - Review it! This is a huge help in beating the #algorithms and getting seen. At least give it a star #review.
3 - Buy more copies of their book for #gifts at #birthdays and #holidays.
4 - Tell people about it when you are discussing #reading. Mass #market #books get plenty of #publicity. #Indie #writers depend largely on #self-promotion (which many of us cringe at) and word of mouth.

Who felt this way recently?

Ukraine has been fighting to get Holodomor recognized (PHOTOS, LINK, and more) #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

"C’est une injonction contradictoire : on nous demande d’être sobres dans une société qui est tout entière organisée autour de l’abondance. Pour écouler ces produits en surnombre sur des marchés saturés, les entreprises mettent toujours plus d’argent dans les techniques de vente – le marketing, la publicité, et plus récemment, l’intelligence artificielle – et se retrouvent à devoir produire encore plus, pour absorber ces coûts et maintenir un prix de vente abordable."

The desperate need to always be right is the epitome of still being a child. To then try to prove you are right by using inefficient and ineffective websites and conspiracy adds to desperation my finding lies that make you comfortable. Uncomfortable truths allows growth. Challenging your own belief allows growth.
