I did a covide test I do not have covid which is great. However I am still not "back" yet. Feel a bit better but still unable to do anything other than continue to stay inside and be like an old man haha. My brain is foggy. My skin hurts. Other things "hurts". We are big, but we can be so fucked by these minuscule creatures (germs). It is quite astonishing to me :D.
I will for sure not finish TROM II this month haha...now that I am sick. But actually I should not push myself to finish so fast. No point in doing that. I did a ton of work already and there isn't much left so I'd rather take it slower and make it very well.
Bloody dentists they really infected me. Still feel quite sick. A bit better, but still...
In a trade-based society people will go to work even if they may put others at risk, because you know....you gotta trade....Of course I do not know for sure who infected me but 100% sure I got this infection from the dentist's office.
I wonder how many people died of COVID because the "workers" didn't want to stay home or could not. Influenced by the need to trade. You know, when you are poor and have to freaking pay for that rent or food, and may have COVID, then it is not very incentivizing to stay at home. You wanna go and work, to make money, and pay for your survival. Same is true if you are richer and need/want to pay for those expensive shits you have collected. Everyone is so used to this "jobs" idea that they either cannot survive without it or cannot even imagine a life without it.
Actually I remember reading a lot of such news when COVID was attaching humans, of people infecting others because they refused to stay at home.
SO, should I mention again that we

This is a topic that interested me for more than a decade now. I talked about it in the first TROM documentary and will bring it back into the second TROM. What seemed like fantasy even 10 years ago, now seems like a very solid and scientific endeavor. It fascinates me.
I wish I could live a thousand years :) - I would never get bored :P
In other news I replaced the trailers for VideoNeat.com for some 300 documentaries today....manually....1.200 more to go haahah. Will do it slowly over the course of the next months. I feel better today. I hope to start the work on TROM II tomorrow.
Watch all my videos early and without any ads, plus hundreds more exclusive titles, over on Nebula https://nebula.tv/videos/medlifecrisis-how-to-prevent-almost-all-disease. Sign up today via this link and save $10 off the annual price.
Yaas, that's mindblowing.. totally agree that it seems absolutely feasible to prolong the life or/and to increase a quality of life in general by rejuvenation of some body parts. Just focus on science already dammit :grinning face with smiling eyes:
Interesting. I do not drink alcohol at all. Because I never feel the need to....I never did. I would be curious how big the relative risk is of drinking alcohol and developing some cancers....but yeah, alcohol, a drug sold as legal in today's world, while other drugs are treated like pure evil.
In my view people should consume whatever they want, it is their lives after all. But we should be aware of the risks.
VideoNeat is up again! The theme was very old and not updated in years so it was not working properly and we were unable to update the whole website for some time now. We finally changed the theme and redesigned the entire website. It looks quite similar to how it was before, but probably a bit more functional now.
Mind you it is not optimized for mobile phones and it won't be for some time. It is not a priority for now. Only after the TROM II documentary is released we can do that. But regardless this website is not meant for such tiny screens anyway. And most mobile phones can't even properly support the Bittorrent network that VN uses.
Also we need some 50 more euros for our campaign to pay for the backups for VN and all other websites. Please help if you can tromsite.com/fundraiser/ we have to pay in less than a week.
Mind you most trailers do not play in a popup anymore. They will be downloaded on your machine....we will slowly fix this one by one. It is what it is for now....
I worked all day on VIdeoNeat.com to restore it....I'll explain more tomorrow but probably it will be back tomorrow. At least now the website is better and does not rely on an ancient theme. I feel a bit sick. Maybe I got COVID from the dentist :D - she was coughing a bit- God bless.
As soon as VN is up and running I'll get back to the documentary.
Yesterday I went to the dentist. I didn't have to go for the past 4 or so years so that's the positive side. I used to go there for 3 or so years almost weekly, not long ago, because I had braces. I had really fucked up teeth and it took 3 years to fix them.
Anyway, I go there and they tell me to wait in the waiting room. I enter and I see a few C's. Some young, some oldish. By C's I mean people. Why C? Because that's how they look to me, like the letter C when they sit down and are bent over their phone screens.
I said a timid "Ola", and I think an older dude said "Ola" on just 5% volume.
I remember not long ago when I was going to the same dentist, waiting in the same waiting room, that most people were just sitting around. They had some magazines there and some were picking them up and browsing through them.
So I sit down and look around like I normally do. I could see through a

So I sit down and look around like I normally do. I could see through a big glass door how strongly it is raining outside. It was pouring. My mind shifted to the TROM II documentary, the stuff that I want to do next, my plans for the next months, and so forth. My mind drifted towards the scenery for a bit and I was thinking how weird that this water falls from the sky and how it sounds....those rain droplets falling on the pavement make a lot of sound. And sound is basically energy. The atmosphere, the stuff around, shaking, and the vibrations reach our ears. How cool.
I remember waiting in this waiting room for many hours when I was going for my braces. And had a lot of thoughts. I like to think about stuff.
I then look around me and the C's are still C. I am thinking "Do they think that I am a weirdo...the only one here just sitting like that and not bent as a C? Am I more like an L when I sit down?" - but then I thought.....are these people even thinking about that? Or thinking in general?
Not to be mean, but it seems to me like pretty much everyone nowadays has no more "free time" to think. That time is completely eaten by the phones and the computers and the tv....
Like....if they go to school/work, then they have to solve all sorts of issues they may have, then they have to buy food, cook, drive, take care of family members (like the soft-brained kids they may have), have homework.....then they are nonstop on their phones....Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Youtube.....Netflix....Amazon....shop, take photos, consume, like, share, chit-chat.
Honestly, does anyone nowadays have inner thoughts? Because even when you sit in your bed, before going to sleep, probably most humans are on their phones. They wake up with their phones in their faces too.
I was amusing myself thinking that in the near future people would go to a psychologist and be like...
Patient: I hear voices in my head! Psychologist: What do they say? Patient: idk....like words at times... Psychologist: Do you hear them loud? Patient: At times yes.... Psychologist: How often and when mostly? Patient: Not that often, and usually when I do not do anything for some reason... Psychologist: Ok, you may suffer from ITD. Patient IDT? Psychologist: Inner Thoughts Disorder. A lack of outside stimulation of the brain can cause the brain to shoot random thoughts. It is nothing to worry about. Back in the days people managed to deal with that on a daily basis. I recommend you these apps to keep your brain more engaged, and take one of these sleeping pills an hour before you want to go to bed.
:)
That's how I was amusing myself.
You know, I used to spend at least 2-3 hours in bed before going to sleep, thinking about stuff. And it is damn fun. At times I would spend 5-6 hours or more, staying in bed, thinking. Actually this thinking time allowed me to create TROM, the documentary. The many books I wrote and projects I created. Heck yeah, this article was created last night while I was sitting in bed, in darkness, just with my brain. Now I too have reduced the night thinking to say 1-2 hours for some reason, but I still think every single night before I go to bed. :)
These moments of you inside your brain are, I think, essential to get to know yourself and the world around you. To plan ahead, to talk to yourself, understand yourself and your relationships. And the world that is out there. Without it you are like a Rumba cleaning robot. Or other sorts of robots. You observe and are pushed by the stuff you are observing. But have no time for self-reflection. Your brain is a read only software by you, and read and write for the big companies that are keeping you busy.
People have become robots. And there is a good reason why. An explanation that have predicted that. TRADE.
The same way that humans became physical robots for the past centuries, working 8 to 12 hours a day, same way today their minds are being trading assets. Facebook, Google, Netflix, TikTok and the like, they NEED your mind to trade. Your attention and data are so valuable today. So they do all they can to transform you into a livestock animal, milked daily, because that's all they want.
It is a very ugly society we live in. Driven by the same force of trade.
When the printing press was invented some said that humans won't even think because they will spend time reading other people's thoughts. Wasn't true really. Newspapers and the invention of the TV, others said, will make people dumber by keeping them glued to those media outlets. Not entirely true, but to some degree truer than before. The "smartphone" and the internet era is on a different level tho. They do keep people busy most of the time, because it is run by a cancerous invasion of companies and individuals who want BRAINS. Mindless consuming BRAINS. And you carry that consumption device with you non stop, and rely on it.
I too rely on a phone....to keep in touch with my parents and because they require one when you have a bank account, go to the hospital, the dentist, and so on. But I decided to only use the phone for that. And for the weather at times. Plus GPS. The rest I do not care. Although I spend a ton of time online, I do so only on my laptop. On my phone I rarely even have credit. And on my laptop I do a lot of work for TROM. Besides that I do scroll through reddit at times, but mostly I use our own tools like TROMnews, I watch documentaries and so forth.
But man.....this is a scary world for me. I see most humans as zombies who are not alive, but simply are automatons that are fed and milked non stop for an endless trade society.
And I genuinely wonder if people still have inner thoughts nowadays....what do they dream at night about....what do they think when they are not C's....? Are they L's, I's anymore? idk....
One thing I am 100% sure is that if I did not spend a lot of time with myself, in my head, I would have been lost today. It is what allowed me to get rid of my suicidal and depressive behavior, what allowed me to change, what made me make TROM, write books, make videos, and so forth. Without these, there is no me.
yeah I know that photo and mentioned that in the post :P - as said, today's gadgets are a different game. newspapers and tv were like toddlers compared to the power of these new gadgets.
@Tio Wow you have such interesting thoughts, mine always feel like just random noise that I have to get rid of, lol 😂
Also this might be shocking for you if you don't already know, but not everyone has an inner voice/speech, there are non-verbal thinkers too. This video explains it pretty well - So I don't recall having an inner voice when I was a kid, or at least not significant enough to notice, but later in my teenage years I somehow developed one. I don't exactly remember how I used to think before developing an inner voice, but if I had to explain it then I'd use words like emotions, feelings, intuitions, pictures etc. I remember the first time I intentionally said something inside my head, it felt so weird.... like talking to an empty room that echoes, I felt very silly doing it because I already knew what I was gonna say and so what's the point of saying it to myself wh

If you've lived your entire life having an inner voice then this might sound very strange to you, haha 😄 Anyway, that conversation with the therapist on your post reminded me of this, we humans are so similar but yet so different from each other in how we experience things.
But even those using these sort of spy mechanisms are failing, because they can't prevent anything really. Or change much. They may target specific people, kill them, blackmail them, but in the end is futile even for them. Ugly society.
If I don't get goosebumps when I make TROM II, meaning when I edit it, the interviews, the music, the footage, and such, at least a few times for each part, then I am not satisfied. :D
I know that does not mean everyone else will react the same, but at least for me that's great :) - feels great, am happy with the result it means. And I am getting some right now when I am at the 30 min mark for the last part :)
Yes, I am familiar with TROM. TROM (The Reality Of Me) is a decentralized, community-driven video hosting platform that aims to provide a privacy-respecting alternative to traditional video hosting sites. It uses blockchain technology to store and serve videos, and allows users to monetize their content through cryptocurrency.
TROM is part of a growing trend of decentralized video platforms that aim to offer users greater control over their content and privacy. However, as with any new technology, it's important to carefully consider the benefits and limitations before choosing a platform, and to be aware of the ways in which your data may be used.
And that's the biggest, by far, issue with these chatbots. They seem smart, but they are not. They are great at blabbing. But they can confidently tell you a lot of wrong information. Terrible.

Look at the stupidity:
Yes, TROMsite and Tiotrom are connected. Tiotrom is a subsidiary of TROM (The Reality of Me) and is focused on developing and promoting the use of TIOT token, a cryptocurrency used to incentivize and reward participation in the TROM project. Tiotrom aims to provide a decentralized, community-driven alternative to traditional financial systems, and to support the development of sustainable solutions for societal and environmental problems. The Tiotrom ecosystem is integrated with the TROMsite and is used to support and reward individuals who contribute to the project in various ways, such as creating and sharing content, participating in discussion forums, and supporting the development of new solutions.
It would be better to say: I do not know. When it is not 100% sure.
And one more that the chat said "The TROM project suggests that a more equitable and sustainable system of trade is necessary to address these problems and to create a better future for all."
Multiple-facepalms.
I cannot trust a thing that this chat is saying anymore. May sound good, but may be totally wrong.
I opened a new chat and asked "what is TROM" - here is the answer:
TROM stands for The Reality of Me, which is a personal growth and self-awareness program created by L. Ron Hubbard. It aims to help individuals understand their own thoughts, emotions, and experiences to achieve greater happiness and success in life.
I'm dying hahahhahaaha.
That guy founded the Church of Scientology hahahah
My God and people think this chat is revolutionary. It is like a salesperson, blabbing in a way that makes people impressed, and yet it is deceiving as fuck.
Maybe I'll try out this chatGPT someday, I've heard good things about it. The thing is, AIs are never good at obscure questions that require some digging around to find out, so the fact that it presents you wrong information with such confidence and assurance is very concerning. I think this situation could be improved a lot by just showing us the sources where the AI got that info from, and maybe also a confidence level showing how sure the AI is of the accuracy of that info.
@alexio TBH, I think this answer is much better than the last one, at least it didn't say TROMjaro is a distro for advanced users and that it has Tor browser and stuff like that. It mentioned the trade-free concept and also the fact that we do backups before important updates. Now, I know some of these AIs are trained on old data like from 2020 or something, so maybe that's why it says TROMjaro is still in development 'cause at the time we were probably testing TROMjaro XFCE beta 🤔
still, very deceiving....if i wasnt behind tromjaro i would have thought very differently. in any case if they can be so wrong it makes them kinda useless for now.
a little confused about TROM and Odysee, I think. As @cwebber put it, it's automated mansplaining. Of course mansplainers would be all excited and threatened by it
Kinda badly confused :D - if it does that even 2 out of 10 times, then it kinda ruins the idea behind this bot entirely. You simply cannot trust it. At least if it provided some sources.
Today I spent 2h on the terrace updating the servers, listening to music/podcasts, even had a video call for like 15 minutes - very bright outside. The laptop handled it like a champ :D - this is my first time being able to do "remote work" haha. Never had a laptop that allows me to work on my stuff like that. My 2 previous laptops had a very shitty battery and storage.
So anyway, screen brightness at max, over wifi continuously and quite far from the router (so more energy needed to keep the connection on), bluetooth on, online non stop, streaming audio, and after 2 hours of use still had 60% battery left. I could easily use the laptop like that for some 4-5 hours which is great. The speakers are really loud for a laptop, awesome. The webcam is really great for a laptop too. So all great. I am happy I chose this laptop after all.
Anyway. Servers work done, tonight I start the TROM II work again. I am determined to at least "almost finish it" this month :)
A new TROMjaro ISO is out with an advanced search plus a wonderful little app that allows you to quickly extract text from photos or videos. See - forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…
Hi, You know I invited him to our TROMcast (we have a podcast - right now is on pause because I need to finish the TROM II documentary) and he almost accepted. We were about to settle for a day but he never got back to me....
His idea of what a "free software" is, can be different from what I would call "trade-free". For example, he would say that a piece of software needs to showcase its source code, to let anyone modify and re-distribute it, even sell if they want. But always inherit the same rules for the newly modified code.
Now in terms of software, I argue that the most important thing is to let people use a piece of software without asking anything in return. In that regards even proprietary software can be trade-free. However in the vast majority of cases if a software is trade-free it is unlikely to also be proprietary since there is no incentive for that.
In general the vast majority of software is trade-free and also free-software, so they overlap most of the time. I do not like the idea that you can sell a piece of free-software like Stallman says.

So I am not sure that he wants to see a world where we provide stuff as trade-free for people, but I wanted to talk to him about that.
Regardless, I love most of the things he talks about in regards to software, and I even included bits with him in the upcoming TROM II documentary. So for sure I will try to contact him again when we reboot our TROMcast.
In regards to TROMjaro it is not fully free-software since it also ships with Nvidia proprietary drivers for those who want them. And I am one of them since my computer won't work at all, or well, if I were not to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers....but these are small "incompatibilities" between the trade-free and free-software approaches.
Hi Tio! Thanks for the prompt answer und your explanation! I am happy to hear that and also find it interesting, that there are some differences. I am still reading "Free as in free software". #GNU Very interesting guy and also shows an interesting view of the past.
I am looking forward to see #trom2 and like your ideas as well, read the first book of #trom and it gave me as well some ideas. Still trying to figure out how to adjust the knowledge that is offered Thank you for that!
What's new? Nothing useful or important. Such a lame ad. Like all ads for that matter. Every year, same shit, on repeat. And so many idiots are still buying these useless new gadgets.
Well, you gotta-trade, ain't it Samsung!? Apple!? The rest!?
What’s new? The new Galaxy S23 Ultra. Share the epic with our most powerful processor yet, a pro-grade camera that boasts epic Nightography, and the mighty embedded S Pen. Learn more: http://smsng.
IDK why people follow that Jordan Peterson guy, everytime I was curious to see what he has to say, I noticed that he talks a lot of nothingness. Like...are his "followers" that lost, or!?
This is from tromnews.com/videos/ - you can see more interesting videos there. Also we have to fix the cancer of "shorts" somehow for TROMnews. It is terrible. These merchants are obsessed with the views and make these short and nonsense videos.....hard to get rid of this cancer.
Anyway. Somehow I managed to finish some 26 minutes of TROM II (last part) today. I woke up and was in the mood. That's how it works at times. When I'm in the mood I can do a ton of work in a short period of time.
Youtube channels like MrBeast and his "philanthropy" are a sign of a failed society from all perspectives. Sure, he at times helps some people, but the way it is done is a sort of a freak show. Get those views, be shocking, extreme, wasteful, clickbaity. Inject ads, promote bullshit, and mix it all up with mostly retarded videos.
Let's give money to people by making them do retarded and dangerous and uncomfortable things, and film them. Let's help others by making videos about their suffering and getting tons of money from ads. Perverse.
Anyway, I wanted to briefly rant about this utter disgrace.
I want to boost this but I'm hesitant to because of how explosively a lot of leftists react to the r word 😅 I agree with everything else completely though, of course
@futureisfoss because that's the neo-leftist model "we don't care if you actually fight for progressive causes, just that you use the popularly accepted nomenclature at all times." @tio
Yeah, i got mixed feeling about him. Of course his videos are made in are quite retarded and dumb manner. On the other hand he at least helps someone. Compare to 99% of others in similar to him position. But the way his business model based on poor people is really perverse :( Yet he is hero to many, bcs he helps others. But would he helped others if it wouldn't be possible to earn a lot of money from that ? That the question. In any case the whole situation is fucked up.
Musk, Bezos, Gates and others help poor people too at times. But this doesn't feel right to me, to profit so much on one hand and promote complete BS, and destroy and all that, while you help a little here and there. And it gives people the wrong impression about these acts - like "Wow look these youtubers and billionaires are solving many problems quicker and better than governments or other nonprofits". Just because these celebrities are very loud.
So I'd say it is great that the guy helps some people, and despicable that it has to be transformed into a "show", littered with ads and other retarded content. Not entirely his fault, since that's how this society "works".
