#irrelevance — Public Fediverse posts

🚀 #SpaceX is like a toddler with a jetpack, blissfully unaware of the #chaos it leaves in its wake 🌪️. Meanwhile, the article itself is a glorious word salad 🍴, sprinkled with random mentions of Omar Khadr for that extra spice of #irrelevance. Bravo on achieving peak bafflement! 👏

Irrelevance cannot be aimed at
because aiming is already relevance.

Irrelevance happens
when contact is finished
and nothing leans forward anymore.

The moment you want it,
you’ve reentered the field.

Irrelevance is not chosen.
It is what remains
when nothing is being held.

A quotation from Taleb, Nassim Nicholas:

«
They think that intelligence is about noticing things that are relevant (detecting patterns); in a complex world, intelligence consists in ignoring things that are irrelevant (avoiding false patterns).

I needed to update my LinkedIn (ugh) Profile and it turned into a full revamp since I hadn't actually looked at a lot of this stuff for awhile.

I LOL'ed when I saw Linkedin's “Edit Contact Info" options for “Instant Messaging”.

Skype
ICQ
Google Hangouts
QQ
WeChat

Umm... is it 2009?🤣

Strongman rule is a fantasy. 
Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. 
He won't. 
In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. 
We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. 
But the vote you cast for him affirms your #irrelevance. 
The whole point is that the strongman owes us #nothing. 
We get abused and we get used to it. 

Another illusion is that the strongman will unite the nation. 
But an aspiring dictator will always claim that some belong and others don't. 
He will define one group after another as the enemy. 
This might feel good, so long as you feel that you are on the right side of the line. 
But now #fear is the essence of life. 
The politics of us-and-them, once begun, never ends. 

We dream that a strongman will let us focus on America. 
But dictatorship opens our country to the worst the world has to offer. 
An American strongman will measure himself by the #wealth and #power of other dictators. 
He will befriend them and compete with them. 
From them he will learn new ways to #oppress and to #exploit his own people.

At least, the fantasy goes, the strongman will get things done. 
But dictatorial power today is not about achieving anything positive. 
It is about #preventing anyone else from achieving anything. 
The strongman is really the weak man: his secret is that he makes everyone else #weaker. 

Unaccountable to the law and to voters, the dictator has no reason to consider anything beyond his own personal interests. 
In the twenty-first century, those are simple: 👉 dying in bed as a billionaire. 
To #enrich himself and to stay out of #prison, the strongman dismantles the justice system and replaces civil servants with loyalists.

The good news, as we were reminded in Halifax, is that #Canada is close to being the least of the world’s problems. The bad news is that it also seems determined to become the least of the world’s remedies.

I'm still #NotConvinced that the #Fediverse is #TheFuture of #SocialMedia... #TheFuture is #TheFuture and #SocialMedia is just a #Vehicle... A #Vehicle in a #StateOfTransition; #PoweredByMetaphor; but, #IT's #Still #JustAVehicle...

#Meta is an #Irrelevance for #ThePurposes for which I use #IT; I #NeverUsed #Fakebook and still won't... The moment #Meta encroaches on #MyFeed in any way, there might well be an audible #KlunkKlunkKlunk noise...

I find #SlashDot to be a very #meh website. Every time I end up there, they remind me they require me to enable #JavaScript

#ThankGoodness they’re kind enough to remind me why I don’t share anything from them

I get my info elsewhere, & share that which will give the information we need without the invasion of #privacy or #security that comes with JS

Websites tell us so much info- including whether or not we need them

Thanks, SlashDot. Your #irrelevance is of your own making :gnomeHey:

Aside: Anyone know what the #tankie line is now? Maybe Dimitri Lascaris and his Putin Apologist friends will be called back to Moscow to stand guard at the Kremlin. 😆
No, they'll just claim the "Nazis" in Ukraine are in league with Wagner and so it's all a NATO plot to overthrow Putin, and install the NWO.

Oh nm Lascaris is on his grand Canadian tour in Regina with his 10 "peace loving" friends after getting kicked out of Winnipeg by the local Ukrainian population.😂 #irrelevance #CanPoli
