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.
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.
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.
Thank you for your thoughts, I did not mean to offend or go so far astray.

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.

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.
Be well all!
This is how I deal with ptsd. Change the system.
