Listen #Indians! If you can't see the implications of such obvious threats and don't assert your #rights, you don't deserve the #freedoms and #privileges you enjoy. Those come with certain #duties and #responsibilities, without which they won't survive. The only question is if you'll learn that before or after you lose them.

A quotation from Judith Martin

The invention of the teenager was a mistake, in Miss Manners’ opinion. […] Once you identify a period of life in which people have few restrictions and, at the same time, few responsibilities — they get to stay out late but don’t have to pay taxes — naturally nobody wants to live any other way.

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
Miss Manners’ Guide for the the Turn-of-the-Millennium, Part 2 “Home Life,” “Parents and Children” (1989)

Good morning. 💮💮💮

16 May 2025

My wife's phone rang a little after five this morning. One of her sisters, on her way to work, had gotten frightened by someone following too closely. As luck would have it, I was already awake—though I woke up even more after that call. I got up, settled into my recliner, and drifted back to sleep, just like in the old days. Not too old, though. If I went back more than a couple of years, I’d have been driving to work at ‘0 Dark Thirty’ in the morning. I remember those days well—commitments, worries, schedules, responsibilities. Of course, there are still responsibilities, but at least now, I don’t have to be anywhere except where I already am.

Hmmm… I do need some gas for the lawn mower. I’ll get around to it.

🧩 Example: Law as a Natural Transformation

Imagine a 2-functor from:

Category of individual acts and desires (personal logic, rights)

To category of socially accepted actions (legal logic, responsibilities)

Then a natural transformation encodes:

How a society translates individual reasoning into enforceable action.

How law binds or restricts certain inferences while preserving structure (naturality condition).

That is, this commutes if η is natural — that is, doing something and then applying law is the same as applying law first and doing the translated thing.

--- oops, ChatGPT doesn't know about asking for permission vs forgiveness; I mean, it *should* commute, except for that pesky time asymmetry where you can't take back what you did. --- more context is needed ---

This models ethics, cultural norms, or constitutional constraints as natural transformations that preserve reasoning across systems.

This is why we need Judges. It's not an easy job, respect them

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:

While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.

The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.

Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." https://humanrightsact.org.uk/

How to Build Better #Boundaries

Mastering this #skill is essential for navigating your daily #responsibilities.

Given their penchant for influencer-curated "news" & commentaries, one wonders how many of those dull, insecure, pitiable young #men who gave #Trump their #vote will even read this article & get enlightened? #BreakUpBigTech

Gladiator Movies Don’t Tell the Real Story About Rome & #Masculinity
"elite Roman men were, in short, meant to be well-rounded #citizens: brave, but #disciplined; strong, but #dutiful; & always aware of their #responsibilities to others & to #society"

To have a clean and tidy house is essential. Keeping our private area nice and tidy is a sign of responsibility and discipline. It is very sad that a lot of men refuse to do house chores. I do not think that is healthy.

If things frustrate and depress you in life, that is a sign you need to step back and realize that you are the one frustrating and depressing yourself with things.

Don't give those things your power. Take your empowerment back view and your life from the boundaries of your being. Which might mean creating more boundaries. Yes things can be frustrating and depressing but we don't need to take those things on us.

Our abilities of response, our responsibilities, of how we respond to life either allows us the boundaries of empowerment or serves our life to the discord.

You have so much more power than you may comprehend - the thing is many are giving that power to all they dont want in life.

- #techExcptionalism
- failure to hire & promote #women and #minotities
- chronic under-appreciation of #softSkills
- #engineer tunnel vision
- over-focus on a specific #Technology
- lack of definition around senior roles
- #manager Vs IC tension
- EMs doing #coding rather than #management
- The #10x / #rockstar #Dev myth

Here's the thing: It's my #POC community & as I'm a part of that, some of my #responsibilities is to address it within that community. It's not #WhiteFolks' jobs to do that - calling out/calling in/educating #diaspora Asian folks suffering from #InternalizedRacism & hurting fellow #Asians.

Just like it's not POC's jobs to deal with white #racists - it's the responsibilities of white folks to deal with problematic bigots in their own communities.

#South #Africa's Oil Boom brings to the fore a groundbreaking revelation that could herald a new era of #prosperity or herald an #ecological crisis. In this in-depth #analysis, we unveil the truth behind South Africa's vast #oil #discovery, navigating through the seismic shifts it proposes for the nation's #economy and the looming #environmental concerns. As we dissect the intricate balance between economic ambitions and #ecological #responsibilities, prepare to be shocked by the revelations of potential exploitation by the West and the pivotal decisions facing South Africa. Will the allure of newfound wealth compromise the nation's environmental legacy, or can it navigate the path to sustainable prosperity?

Join us as we explore the delicate dynamics of African politics, the shadows of #colonial #history, and the global implications of this #geological discovery. Our narrative delves into the technical challenges and opportunities presented by the oil reserves, the strategic maneuvers of international relations, and the vital question of whether South Africa can prioritize both economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Discover the disturbing facts about the potential impact on marine life, the strategic involvement of global energy giants, and the ongoing debates between economic gains and environmental preservation. This video is a must-watch for those interested in the evolving geopolitical landscape and the future of energy independence in Africa.

I'm a fan of the @eff and a member.

Just reread Across the Electronic Frontier by @mkapor Mitchell Kapor and John Perry Barlow in 1990. So much in that piece still rings true today. https://www.eff.org/pages/across-electronic-frontier#main-content

One thing in this piece on the origins of the Electronic Frontiers Foundation that I think deserves a bit more discussion is this assertion:

"...One result of this is a neo-Luddite resentment of digital technology from which little good can come..."

I have been reading an excellent book by @brianmerchant called Blood in the Machine - The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech which provides a much more robust perspective and analysis on the Luddites as a movement.

Luddites were not afraid of new technology they were fighting exploitation and subjugation and trying to preserve craftsmanship and autonomy.

Not all technology is automatically adopted by society, in fact much of the technology developed does not get the funding required to scale. Technologies are not developed in a void outside of existing power dynamics and those at the top often use these new tools to further their own ends as opposed to supporting public goods for their own sake.

New frontiers are generally the tip of the sword of colonization and exploitation. The internet has helped create surveillance capitalism and what @Snowden Snowden described as "turn-key totalitarianism".

Everyone building at the cutting edge of innovation has a responsibility to consider how their tools will be used and by whom. Credible neutrality is important in some contexts but also in a sense "neutrality" is by default support for the status quo of inequity and injustice.

True disruption must fundamentally wrestle with democratization and decentralization of power. Easier said then done given we all need funding for our projects to survive and nobody likes to lose control of their inventions. How we fund new technologies and the embodiment of the values on open source technologies that are interoperable and composable are not simple philosophical decisions, they are critical decisions that will shape the world we live in in significant ways.

The internet is indeed a new frontier but it is also just a new layer on top of the real world that can either liberate us or further subjugate us. Currently it is doing both in varying degrees and the choices we make today have profound implications.
