<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.

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>
