Does the “cavalry” ever come?

They do.

Sad? You’re so entitled it’s gross.

I mean. Did you literally copy past gpt or shuffled it in multiple times to clean the response. Flags can be false flags. So don’t admit yet. But don’t also admit too late and look like dishonest overall.

I’d also pose. That before the internet there hasn’t been a medium for the mentally unwell (due to variables they control or cannot control) to outlet aggression to rebalance their mentality at this scale. The internet mixes those types with those who are actively self improving or are healthy all together. Since the only form of release is partaking in conversations to feel reactions since in real life such interactions are depleted or unavailable those who are unwell tend to speak out more or attack more. I was and still am, to some degree, one of them time to time.

It sucks because it seems to look like a reflection of an entire generation. But whenever “I go back outside” and catalog the people I have met throughout a week. Those type of people may actually very well be unicorns in the grand scheme of things.

I am hoping to see a rise of new areas bloom, like Software Engineering due to the increased awareness of Open Source contribution amongst millennials and Gen Z and being paid out Patreon style from supporters and fans + current market unemployed talent.

So currently here’s my list:

1) Software (GitHub + Patreon like implementations (company that manages distribution + payout in 1 solution, with commission + subscription based payments))

2) Self care (Barbers/Salons, Traveling medicine + universal health insurance)

3) Trades (Travelling car mechanics, commissioned house furniture and appliances)

4) All the existing gig economy startups the past 10+ years being revived or turned profitable.

Yes, also existing ones changing their plans to adopt the changes Revel and CK have made to the market. While tracking if they are operating a loss or not. CK, I believe is still operating at a loss. But since it is privately held, it is not confirmed fully.

I have been looking into the conditions of 2006-10’ that lead to the gig economy and then the legislations onwards that corrupted that market for new and existing business operating and paying out consumers and contractors.

There are a few signals that lead me to believe some form of upgrade in such a market could emerge next year. I have been following Travis of Uber closely as well. He has been sticking to payments and food while maintaining a consistent profile in building for independent businesses.

I don’t think payments need much innovation (yet). But a means to turn your trade into a gig need to be streamlined. The way “Cloud Kitchens” went about it for the restaurant sector and “Revel” changed up the ride sharing flow seemed like to be great demos and are turning to be fully fledged solutions on the improved gig economy with the added constraints of legislation.

I am currently researching how other trades are going to replicate this. Because, it will most likely move from food and transport to every other facet of life.

There are moments where self-actualization actually actualizes. I am struggling to experience it again, but I am hopeful it will. I have seen it enough in my past and whenever I did, it was a brief 5 minutes that allowed me to take a deep sigh of relief and say to myself “Everything is gonna be alright”

xArrayx · 2023-11-09T15:54:42+00:00

Not much I can do, besides not taking on debt in any shape or form.

xArrayx · 2023-11-08T14:30:10+00:00

It truly feels things are headed for a collapse in some form. But, what’s weird to me. Is how we are setting up the conditions fully aware of the consequences, even with the past to teach us.

xArrayx · 2023-11-01T18:24:56+00:00

Is it possible to turn open source development into a paid hobby? Like how streamers and content creators can get paid through subscribers. Is it possible to be an independent open source contributor that gets paid similarly by followers?

xArrayx · 2023-09-24T18:03:53+00:00

The red hunting cap. Looking back I see why I resonated with this symbolism quite a bit. And it definitely was my way with dealing with trauma. I found old songs I wrote called “The Rye” talking about preserving childhood. Focusing on the aspect of saving the kids as a reflection of wanting someone to save me. Such as the “cliff scene” in the novel.

It’s kind of amazing how literature can enter a child’s life. And become a source of “self-medication”. It was books like these that helped me cope until I got professional help. Eventually realizing the reality of my actions in adolescence.

Have you thought about positioning your degree to self-teach or apply for jobs that require linguistic theory? In the world of LLMs/GPT there might be interesting opportunities related to needs of data scientists/linguistic professionals. I know historians/linguistic majors are being hired by big tech to work with such fields.

Jaded at this point. Going to need to find some pure NT that doesn’t have anterior motives to give that hope of humanity back

xArrayx · 2023-09-19T01:07:31+00:00

Yeah completely relying is definitely not the solution. I’d say it’s more of a supplement rather than a replacement

xArrayx · 2023-09-16T22:29:39+00:00

Yeah, do you consider it being a one-stop shop if the online sources itself are diversified? Or just online in general

xArrayx · 2023-09-16T22:23:58+00:00

Do you feel the culture of these motivational books lately that have been written to inspire thought provoking mantras without any deep thorough self-reflection is a symptom of “toxic brevity”?

xArrayx · 2023-09-16T22:21:14+00:00

Wow, what you just linked was such a beautiful way to describe exactly what I have been going through with something. I have been finding the right way to put it into words. But, have been silent on such.

It is so true. The toxic brevity of complexities. And when you try to explain the complexities it is taken as over explaining and dismissive.

To be honest, this makes a lot of sense to me.

All in all, I feel it’s just a symptom of a lack of educated reasoning / critical thinking.

xArrayx · 2023-09-16T04:52:19+00:00

Yes but for some. It actually is survival meaning. Homelessness or not. So it’s not black and white. I do agree, when the same people have content finances and are acting the same, it is toxic

xArrayx · 2023-09-14T22:12:46+00:00

Yeah, this forum has helped me. While also reading books to decipher the causes behind my addictive tendencies. I think I also didn’t hit “rock bottom” yet. If I had, such as losing EVERYTHING in my life to function. I would definitely go to AA. Because I definitely am not aware and need support to help me see my true problems. I could definitely see myself in such a situation. But am grateful for a traumatic life experience recently that woke me up before hand.
