Something that's been concerning me for a long time is how people don't want to leave social media platforms, even when they turn more toxic. The term these days is "enshittified".

I, for one, really appreciate #Mastodon for allowing one the ability to migrate from one instance to another, thereby not losing one's ever-so-precious "social graph".

Another interesting example of not losing one's "Social Graph" (in a migration from one server to another) is #Deltachat, which uses "AEAP" ("Advanced Email Address Porting").

I think these awesome migration features should be praised more. Taking such control back, over one's social graph is no small victory these days. Such ease of migration is a bulwark against enshittification; it's the easy ability to move elsewhere.

Note: #Buddhism has a comparable tradition of such protection through migration: once monks and nuns gain their "independence", they are much more free to wander from one monastery to the next.

I'm often at a loss for words for things happening inside my body. Physical things, emotional things. I wish I could express them to you but I've not figured out how. I feel hope and despair at once. I feel alienated and overwhelming compassion for people. The words I use juxtapose them but inside me they are one. What should I call these things?
(We can talk about physical stuff another time.)

“Science is the tool of the Western mind, and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge, and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is.” —C.G. Jung.

That is: science, and its way of looking at the world (third-person, “objective”) is not the only valid source of understanding.

Buddhist meditators, for example, use other ways, such as introspection, to gain understanding (sometimes not even the mind or reasoning!). First hand experience can’t be substituted by theories. Maps are not the terrain.

Big Changes, Little Changes

And yet we can step even further back. If we look at he human race is new to the planet Earth. People can deny this using specious reasoning, but science doesn't care what people believe or don't believe. The natural world just works the way it does. #Buddhism #Ecology #History #StarTrek
