  • This is actually an indication of how bad it really is.

    Compared with someone who really is part of the elite, everyone who isn’t a millionaire is bottom of the ladder. You can own properties and go on global vacations and still be part of the poor class

    If you would take the total estimation of combined US citizen owned money and redistributed evenly per household then every single US household would have over a million.

    There is a common fear that socialism and redistribution of wealth implies you will end with less because most people believe they are better off then the majority and don’t want to share, just think about how twisted the people that propaganda comes from must be if a theoretical million is perceived as losing.



  • Hardware does not need a steep upfront costs.

    You don’t need a nasa pc to run nextcloud, larger businesses routinely trow away machines that are beyond what you need. Chances are family of a member already has some machines they where going to trow away. Your hardware priorities are most cpu cores with as much compatible ram.

    The advantages of having your own hardware is you can run multiple local servers and let members experience without additional costs. Imagine it like a private mini internet run by members that only is accessible at location.

    I highly recommend proxmox as a server os which has 1 line helper script commands that create a whole nextcloud installation and others automatically, its also very easy to backup those.




  • We need to split clients from providers.

    Invidious and freetube could diversify to accept multiple alternative sources besides youtube content.

    If the content exists on multiple platforms the user could set a preference and orded or backup providers.

    As creators make a switch to smaller platforms the users who use these clients are unaffected. It works similar to our fediverse, a community can just change instance and everyone can still access it the same.

    Creators could test migration by posting to multiple providers themselves. Those reliant on YouTube money specifically could premiere on youtube and after some time reupload elsewhere.

    Those that dont rely on youtube money can do the reverse where the later youtube upload serves more as an ad to their alternative main channel.









  • I don’t want to downplay some of the amazing things in this list but i dint think the standard model of physics as made by humans can ever be completed.

    What did happen is that something like HB must exists in order to make most of other things work. Now that we know HB is verifiably real we tied up a major loose end.

    But there is still many stuff unanswered and a “complete model” would require constant revision.
