It is part of human tradition to accept fear. Both the older and younger generations live with fear. Most are not aware that we live in fear. It is only in a mild form of crisis or a shattering incident that we become aware of this abiding fear. It is there. Some are aware of it, others shy away from it. Tradition says to control fear, run away from it, suppress it, analyse it, act upon it or accept it. We have lived with fear for millennia, and we somehow manage to get along with it. It is the nature of tradition to act upon it or run away from it, or sentimentally to accept it and look to an outside agency to resolve it. Religions spring from this fear, and the politician’s compelling urge for power is born out of this fear. Any form of domination over another is the nature of fear. When a man or a woman possesses another, there is fear in the background, and this fear destroys every form of relationship.

Thank you Ondine for becoming our new TROM supporter tromsite.com/donate/ - it is so motivating to see new people supporting TROM. Makes you want to put more effort into it, create new things, etc.!
If we get 12 more people to donate 5€ a month we can do these:
We will start a video series for TROM, similar to the books' content.
We will bring back TROMnews because the world needs a good news website.
We will increase the TROM Files storage space to 20GB for all.
That would be fantastic!

Fear may take different forms: I am afraid of public opinion, I am afraid of falling ill, I am afraid of losing my wife or husband, I am afraid of being nobody, I am afraid of being lonely. Do you know what that word means? Have you ever been lonely? Have you ever felt what it is to be lonely? Probably not, because you are surrounded by your family, you are always thinking about your job, reading a book, listening to the radio, listening to the infinite gossip of the newspapers. So, probably, you never know that strange feeling of being completely isolated. You may have occasional intimations of it, but you have never come into contact with it directly, as you have with pain, with hunger, with sex. But if you do not understand that loneliness which is the cause of fear, then you will not understand fear and be free of it.

I am getting ready to go to work. I will be back when I have time to give your thoughtful reply justice.
Your nick came up in a moderation report on my Instance. I came here to see if it held merit. I believed it did not, now you give me pause.

Ecoflix should stop making these AI-thumbnails because is quite ridiculous :)). You already make very good thumbnails maybe tell them to use them...they are real not AI generated.
100% about trains and generally public transport. No way people will use them when they are several times more expensive than planes. And planes need a lot of fuel, airports, security, etc.. In terms of resources a lot more expensive, but not money....such a shame.
But anyway great to see you do these things too. Although I have little hope in these gov organizations at least maybe you get some eyeballs to see you stuff and maybe make new connections that can help you in the future. Would really like to see a video about your presentation.
Great about Montenegro too!
Also I see a bit more support on Patreon? Even if it is a tiny bit, if it grows maybe it is a good sign. Very far from what you would need to even pay for a bus ticket probably :D but maybe if you continue bit by bit you'll get more support. It is fucking hard but who knows...
Keep up the great work man! Both of you!
@tio
The biggest evidence that our trade-based society is fucked is the fact that people like you are struggling to find enough donations, not even covering the cost of making these videos. People who do good things for the world are constantly disincentiviced to keep doing these. And speaking of incentives, that train ticket price is absolutely insane, can't think of a bigger incentive to make people choose airplane over trains.

Yah this AI shit drives me insane...views views views, but how about the quality of them. If people are not bothered by fake thumbnails or videos then their "viewer quality" is already pointless.
Sad to see this but well....
And these conferences are like that and I feel EU is a master of talking and not doing anything.
And I was thinking you must spend even more per 1 video since you have to travel a lot. But 300 is also 9 times more than you get on Patreon...I hope you can get more but for that you have to sustain yourself for the foreseeable future. Until there are more people getting to know your work and decide to support you. The endless struggle.....
Yah about my situation is fine...not much to say for me either for now. Am trying to record some videos these next weeks see if I can do that and hope that my parents will be ok.

in reply to Jacob Urlich 🌍 • •The ideas relevant to actions that are difficult to achieve—such as transitioning away from a trade-based system—depend on the scale and nature of those actions. While individual efforts alone are often insufficient, meaningful progress can be made by developing and participating in collective, trade-free alternatives.
One approach is to collaborate with others to share time, skills and resources, creating local systems based on access rather than exchange. For example, communities can organise food growing, repair networks or shared services that operate without monetary transactions, thereby reducing dependence on trade-based structures. These initiatives demonstrate practical models of provisioning that prioritise sufficiency, cooperation and sustainability over profit.
Another approach involves forming or joining networks of like-minded individuals to advocate for broader systemic change. This can include lobbying for policies that support commons-based systems, public access to essential services, and the gradual replacement of profit-driven production

Another approach involves forming or joining networks of like-minded individuals to advocate for broader systemic change. This can include lobbying for policies that support commons-based systems, public access to essential services, and the gradual replacement of profit-driven production with needs-based provisioning. Such collective action can challenge existing economic power structures and influence political decisions at local, national and global levels.
Ultimately, scaling up change requires both grassroots experimentation and coordinated efforts to transform the underlying structures of society. By combining practical alternatives with collective advocacy, it becomes possible to move beyond a trade-based system towards one that better addresses social and environmental challenges.
