The people are being consumed by the so called "free" entertainment.

But it is not "free". It is dumb and trade-based. TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and so forth mandate that you give them your data and attention (watch ads) in order to use their platforms. In return they give you access to a ton of dumbed down content.

Trading stupidity is much easier than trading well made content. Therefore stupidity evolves faster in a trade-based society.

To make a good researched video can take months, to make a dumbed down one can take minutes. To write a good book about real and important things, and research for it, takes months or years. To write bullshit fictional stories takes a lot less. Music, movies, articles, they are all under the influence of trade, allowing simplistic content to thrive while good one to barely breath.

It is this trade based society to be blamed for the vast majority of the destruction, suffering and idiocy we see worldwide.

Newly added to the Trade-Free Directory:

World Weather Attribution

World Weather Attribution is an academic collaboration studying extreme event attribution, calculations of the impact of climate change on extreme meteorological events such as heat waves, droughts, and storms. When an extreme event occurs, the project computes the likelihood that the occurrence, intensity, and duration of the event was due to climate change. The project specializes in producing reports rapidly, while news of the event is still fresh.

Why we are Cutting & Burning Trees on Deserted Island ? - videos.trom.tf/w/mCMwKVPQDufg3…

By @Dima : I was taking a part in Alvar grassland restoration camp in Estonia. Which was happening on a tiny island of Kesselaid. Alavar is a very rare and unique biological environment which support large biodiversity of plants and insects.

TROMhome:

This is our new, and kinda personal, project tromhome.com/

Although it is also about TROM.

This will be our home and it will take us to many new places, meeting many new people and projects. We will talk to people about TROM, try to organize talks and meetings, volunteer for all sorts of trade-free projects, and make videos about all of our adventures.

That’s the plan at least 😀 !

We have released a fundraiser to help us a bit if possible. See gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-the…

Thank you Miguel for becoming our new 5 Euros a month supporter ! tromsite.com/donate/ - it seems like we are stagnating at 84 supporters, but it is because some may cancel their subscription or the fact that we count the Liberapay and Patreon money as "people" - divide the amount by 5. And that amount may vary from month to month.

TROM is still far from reaching its goal, but we are still somehow keeping our projects alive. Please support if you can.
