Audhd here, so way too many interests to list (short list here: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Murdoc). But my biggest long-standing one is called Technocracy. Not how the word gets used most of the time today, but rather the proposed sustainable and post-scarcity economic system devised in the 1920s. Not only is it just interesting from being a novel and well-designed system, but it deals with so many important issues like poverty, environmentalism, sexism, racism, crime, and all in an objective, hard scientific way (i.e. not "political science"). All that science and progressivism (from 100 years ago too!) just delights my autistic brain no end. Here's my attempt to make the topic more accessible to the modern audience: https://technate.org/tiki-index.php

AU-D-FREAKIN'-H-D!!!!! Yo!

Top link doesn't work here =<

I was thinking about this the other day. I kinda wanted to do an askie-poo here but I just said feh! But if we could speak on alternate time lines - how could we have changed the world in order to set it up for the success of the most plausible amount of individuals versus the sort of caste-goop we've got going on right now.

GL on building your TIKI by the by, maybe you should ask the question and invite others to participate in building it?

🙂 👋

Weird, the link works for me. :/

Oh, I've certainly thought of alternate time-lines. Aspiring writer here. Trying to turn one of them into a novel (well, novel series lol), but you know, ADHD. So I could certainly talk at length about that.

Thanks. I've tried getting help. What few have accepted never seemed to have the time, or else they had too much trouble with the wiki paradigm? Idk. It's been a struggle. Which is too bad since I tend to work better (i.e. more often) when others are involved.

Maybe cause I am on PieFed and you're on the thing...that link came from that I can't remember the name of now @_@!!! Oh yeah, for sure I totally get it. If you ever wanna jam down on some talkie bits I'm here for it. I love a good conversation =)!

On the Tiki (I think it was called?) I gave a think on it, but I really don't know a damn thing about technocracies (I believe it was called - this is all off of memory so sorry if I am butchering everything) I did take a look around and I thought this person has some good bones here - just needs to flesh stuff out a bit =)! Oh yeah, body doubling is real. Me too. If you wanna make something right now I'd be down. You seem like a cool person, and I've got the time =)
