<p>Which I have done over the years, used other venues for
peaceful warfare. Sorry to disturb you. The 20th century model
of society is stale and dated. Look at all the damage done to
people for no good reason. We can effect change through
technology. What kind of change? Something that leverages
modern computing, including the blockchain for trusted
interactions, lots of hand-held IoT devices combined into a
massive decentralized computational network, leaving REST
services behind and presenting functional semantics with
robust data marshaling. With these capabilities, transform the
way physical interactions occur. I like to term what I am
seeing as virtualizing physicality & physicalizing
virtuality. <br>
</p>
<p>Is Pharo just aiming to be a better WebApp? That market is
totally saturated. Pharo's/Squeak's strengtsh are robust
dynamic presentation of information in graphical form and
interconnectivity. Let us leverage that. Smalltalk is
perfectly positioned to define the next transformation,
because it is the only language system designed to be online
24/7, exactly what is needed for a massive decentralized
computer with dynamic un/loading. I merely made a few comments
regarding some of the practical functional requirements around
the security facet of the new system. <br>
</p>
<p>My apologies if you felt it was inappropriate. I think you
were concerned it may get further out of hand and I do not
disagree with you. Let's collect functional requirements for
how this new social network will interact with personalized
locality. This is my proposition. Why, we could eliminate
prisons, massively reducing mental illness and eliminate
collective confrontation. I believe completely, with all my
heart, that this is in the original spirit of Smalltalk, but I
cannot speak for the founders, this is my belief.<br>
</p>
Thank you for your thoughts, I did not mean to offend or go so
far astray.<br>

<div>Don't know about anyone else, but I would appreciate it
if this kind of commentary never made it to this email list.
This topic is so inappropriate. Let's keep the discussion
about Pharo. If you feel you must go down the political
route, then please be gracious enough to find another
venue. <br>

Alright, one more sad observation. Of all the Law
Enforcement violence, either perpetrated by LEOs against
citizens or by citizens against LEOs, in all cases I am
aware or recall having heard, all of these involve police
officers. No violence, or very little, is perpetrated
against or by Sheriff Deputies. As counties are a good and
proper and consistent scope of crime administration,
regardless of the density, police ought to report to the
Sheriffs and let's put and end to broken windows policy
and discriminatory enforcement. Police are always in our
shit, and have their egos to boot. Sheriff Deputies, by
comparison, are laid back and easy to talk to. They engage
the public in respect, without attitude. <br>
<br>
Bob didn't shoot the deputy.<br>

<p>Well, my paranoia is kicking. I spoke too broadly
of police, I have interacted with many and they do a
lot of good. A bad apple spoils the whatever and
their code of silence allows for that sort of rot. I
tell it straight, because they monitor the list. I
pissed them off! Do you think it passed the sanity
test that cops run all street drugs with their felon
database in hand? Damn! All those Fellas are going
to turn and bite their masters' hand, you watch!
Stacking these grown men like Twinkies in
overcrowded prisons. There is a debt that needs to
be paid and the righteous are those in prison on a
bunch of bullshit paper. Vive la revolucion! Ok,
sorry I went political. I am done.<br>

<p>I am sad with you in your diagnosis. I get that
too, the blues. I get high if I am holding and
listen to "Kind of Blue" or deep house or reggae.
Some X would be good, but herbage is my mainstay
to drop my constant threat mode (hypervigilence).
I do not want a repeat of what happened!
Unfortunately I drive people away to make sure of
that. I appreciate your alls kindness. I wanted to
share a solid explanation of why I am such a dick
at times. I flip to active threat mode, I struggle
to control this. It doesn't help that the police
have been stalking me for 2 years, I am all caught
up in their noise. Don't believe a word of their
truthfulness. The blue wall of silence breaks
God's commandment thou shalt not bear false
witness. Police violate that daily, protecting
their brothers who shoot unarmed black men in the
back and claim they are fearing for their lives.
Really? No, really? Well, that is a different
story. That just freaking triggers me. And my
opinion makes me their target. At least in my
C-PTSD befuddled mind.<br>
</p>
<p>Be well all!<br>
