A positive rather than negative vision for the "Small Web" or even beyond (the "Web of Social Trust" maybe?)

I want to see free tools for creating low-cost decentralised digital communities which:

* are robust against cyber-attacks
* are robust against insincere influencers and well-funded corporate buyouts
* are robust against government crackdowns and social panics
* are robust against their own members abusing each other or being swept into hatreds and panics
* help people be smart and kind

My audile friend Jenni Schine and the Action Canada Fellowship is conducting a research project to explore how newcomers learn about Indigenous Peoples’ histories, cultures, and lived experiences when coming to Canada.

"Do the time warp" was a meme that was popular on DeviantArt in 2008.
At the time I only had the first 4 poses. Then later I added the 5th, and today the 6th.

"It is helpful to think of the sublime as having two stages. First, a realization that we are alienated from nature and it is completely other from us; secondly, a boundless enveloping experience which explodes the self into a vast, interrelated matrix with nature."

"Closely related to Maximalism is a phenomenon I call Virtualism: the growing complexity of information technology over the decades has required that its "dirty details" be hidden in "black boxes". Thus, both the users and the developers of the technology have been able to turn a blind eye to its material basis."
