Brain Health.
This may be overwhelming but take it easy. Step by step. Get used to it. You'll see the benefits for sure!
You see, people think that we should dream about a Resource Based Economy, follow TVP or the like. Let's build a new society, a city, a community...
Ok, go about doing those, although they seem quite unachievable. Society doesn't change like that, it evolves, and emerges. We have to focus on what the problem is, not what the solution is, because solutions follow problems. And they are multiple.
In any case, if we do not take care of people's brains then we go nowhere. If most people spend their time on facebook, twitter, youtube, netflix, and the like, consuming like consumers, trading their attention and overall brain for nonsense content, then we cannot build anything. We cannot even start a discussion about creating a different society.
So here's where TROM comes in and helps. Since the human brains are mostly exposed to the online world, we are building a different online world for these brains.
Listen! Here's how you can take care of your brain and your friends' brain.
1. Start with your device. If you use a mobile phone then we can't help you for now, but maybe in the near future. For now you can replace your computer operating system with TROMjaro. https://www.tromjaro.com/ . This operating system is fast, easy to use, customizable, stable, and removes all of the bullshit. No more ads, trackers, no more trades. It comes with a plethora of useful tools and features out of the box. It is the basis of your digital world, the foundation.
Use our library of trade-free apps if you are searching for a particular app tromjaro.com/apps/. Click install. That's all!2. Read our books. They are well sourced and a direct attack to and a dissection of this society. tromsite.com/books/ . Click and read. You can also download them in PDF.
3. Watch our videos. We put a ton of effort into these and are on the same par with our books. tromsite.com/videos/ . Click any and play.
4. Stay informed with sane news. tromnews.com/ - we put a lot of effort into this one to bring you nonstop news from all around the world. No political bullshit. There are several sections there so you can also watch a ton of curated educational videos, amazing photos of our world, and more. Use TROMnews as your daily brain food.
5. Give up movies and switch to documentaries. If you think this is irrelevant, stupid, or boring, then you do not understand how important it is to fill your brain with real and awesome information. Documentaries are not boring if you watch the right ones. Reality is unbelievable. And important. Via videoneat.com/ we make thousands of such materials available as trade-free. We have documentaries and courses. Give them a try. We hand curate them.
We even have a Smart TV that takes these materials and streams them nonstop. See videoneat.com/tv/6. Give up these ad-platforms that call themselves as "social networks" like facebook, twitter, youtube, and the like. If you want to create posts and share with friends, keep in touch with them and all that, use our social platform social.trom.tf/ . No ads no bullshit. You are in control. Learn more about it here trom.tf/social/. And if you want to upload your science/technology/activism videos use our video platform videos.trom.tf/ . Again, no ads no bullshit. No trades. The more you spend your time on those ad-networks, the more mush your brain becomes, thirsty for consumerism, lacking awareness, not understanding what is happening in the world, and wanting more nonsense content. Don't let that happen! This move can seem hard, but do it! Else you'll become like the rest.
7. Give up the basic internet tools you are using that are consuming yourself. Slack, Google services, search engines, etc. See our trom.tf/ where we have a ton of such alternatives that work great. Also see our Trade-Free Directory directory.trade-free.org/ where you can search for more such tools. From messengers to search engines, you name it!
You TZM, TVP, and the like people, use the TROM decentralized chat chat.trom.tf/ instead of the BS Discord, use our Files files.trom.tf/ for your documents and collaborations, use our Send to send files send.trom.tf/, and so forth. We built these tools for you and everyone else.
Ok.
We do a massive amount of work to create a different world for the brain. One that's realistic, honest, smart, sharp, alert, and one that can see the world for its amazingness, and the society for its awfulness.
If you do not get why this is important, then you don't get it. We run this entire alternative digital universe with some 200 Euros a month...so if you can help us keep it, please also consider a donation - tromsite.com/donate/
We work on a new big documentary and more tools.
Help yourself! #tromlive

Unknown parent • • •Its sad to see projects like Internet Archive supporting web3.0, trade seems to be so integrated in this system that we can even call it trade2.0 instead, lol 😂 I also would like to sneak into a rocket and leave this shitty place, haha.
But on a positive note, @aral made web0.small-web.org/ and its showing that there are saner people here too. I hope people realize the truth and move to a truly decentralized internet without of all the corporate trade BS like Meta

in reply to feld • •Trading makes us change this for that like the players of the monopoly board game. And we then become profiteers, charlatans, and mindless creatures that all they care is to trade. And make some profits. This mindset is what drives the problems we see in the world today, where instead of NFTs humans trade endless and useless digital stuff, clothes, useless gadgets, and so forth, with no regard for their brains, or this planet. I wrote a book all about this craziness tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d…
So if humans are going to promote the same mindset in the online world, which they do, then we move the shithole from offline to online.

in reply to feld • •That's the blind mistake, right there. You brush aside the extraordinarily bad and powerful effects of trade, and choose to look at some positive aspects of it. These "creators" are also consumers. You create THIS, then you get THAT in return. Usually a currency. Now your incentive is to spend THAT. And so we are creating the wonderful world that we see today, only that you want it all to happen with nonsense nfts, and cryptocurrencies. And they won't even remove any middleman. Anyone today can basically build a website and sell their stuff there, but do they? No. They flock on fb, amazon and the like.
Will they flock on massive and centralized nft stores/communities in this grand future you imagine? Probably yes.
As for "lift tons of people out of poverty" we should do that, not by enslaving them and forcing them to trade this for that, but to simply help them. We throw 40-50% of all edible food today while 9mil people die of starvation. These, yearly. We throw 500 cruise-ships of clothes and 350 cruise-ships of electronics every year. In Europe there are 3 times more

On a scale of 1 to 5 what would you say is your skill of understanding the intricacies of global macroeconomics? Because statements like this resonate with people who only scratch the surface.
You are aware that in China simply by moving the majority of all monetary transactions from physical to digital with zero fees has completely transformed the country since they started this initiative in 2014, right?
China's doing $52 trillion!!!! in digital payments. Their GDP is ~$15T. Their velocity of money is off the charts.
USA's doing $7T in credit cards, $98B in mobile payments, and ~$300B in Venmo/Zelle. USA's GDP is about $20T.
Worldwide all credit cards combined is only $35T. So China internally is doing about 1.5x the entire world. This builds an extremely healthy economy and provides opportunity and speeds up wealth generation massively.
So obviously China's smashing our economic growth simply by removing the friction

This is the future we need to get to or we will end up with war against China as they take over the world with their Belt and Road Initiative. The solution is a worldwide open crypto network, not China's closed RMB that will soon be a fully digital CBDC.

in reply to feld • •Well that summarizes how far deep into the religion of economics you are and how you obviously understand how such power like China, is to be feared. You brag about their economic growth (imaginable currency growth), and at the same time fear their expansion.
China is one, if not the most, polluting and waste creating tribe int the world. Not to mention their gov control powers or billionaires and inequality it has created. The tens of millions of empty homes, the oppressed minorities there. I don't think you chose your example right.
You want to see my arguments as to why this trade based society is such a shithole?
The Money Game and Beyond book I wrote tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d…
The Origin of Most Problems book that I wrote tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d…
I have way more but that's a start.
The "economy" is a human invention that makes no sense when we live in an abundant world.

in reply to feld • •If you measure the success of humans via a currency, then you are sadly lost. Reality is not close to you. Success should be in how many people have access to their basic needs for free; how much or little are humans stressed; their health, the state of biodiversity on this planet, the knowledge humans have about reality (from atoms to galaxies), how good they are with each other, how much free time they have, and so forth.
Relationships, trees and rivers, curiosity and exploration, helping others, better health and so forth, are real values. Trade gave rise to currencies, and currencies have value only inside of a trade system. Like a painting being more expensive than saving 1000 cancer patients, a car more expensive than an entire forest, and so forth.

in reply to Tio • • •Yeah NFTs are the craziest shit ever, I can't believe people are falling for this 🤦♂️
I think Meta is the manifestation of it all, a big corporation with the only goal of profit in mind, is promoting NFTs, what could go wrong ? Not to mention its one of the most privacy invasive and addictive platforms ever, there's lot of issues with this......

in reply to feld • •There, from my perspective, is to a world where trade is obsolete. Meaning no currencies in any form or other trades. People's needs are met trade free and we rely mostly on "volunteers" for all aspects of our society. And I argue that this is not far fetched in the books above or in many at tromsite.com/books. We provide examples of how millions of volunteer humans are already the backbone of many parts of our society already, and so forth.
Do we agree about this place called "there"? :)
