Three thing to know about Chatbooth:

1) We're ad free; you're the customer, not the product
2) Messages on the app are end to end encrypted
3) We collect the smallest amount of data required.

James Madison: Now I'm going to put this 9th Amendment here to remind you that people have some rights that we haven't specifically listed here. Obviously we couldn't cover everything.

SCOTUS: Got it just the list

All of the "but it's so convenient" nitwits are going to drag us down with them, aren't they?

Brands are getting sneakier in getting your data, so I want everyone to remember that company quizzes and polls are traps (and also WHEN ARE THEY EVER FUN) and QR codes are garbage (and not just because TB's phone is so old that he can never actually load anything with them).

Sometimes a thing is too broken to fix, sometimes it's better to just fab something new.

As a species, are we really so scared to discover our humanity that we would entertain becoming cyborgs as an act of cowardly prevarication?

Being unchained and being free are very different things.

Another great @ZoharAtkins thread; begs the question (over and over and over): what exactly do we think we're doing? what the hell are we so hell bent on achieving?

[Zohar Atkins @ZoharAtkins]

Time for a @threadapalooza on Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (1772-1810), a mystic and storyteller, who combined spiritual genius with a modernist literary sensibility. Rebbe Nachman is the sage of paradox, a depressive who believed in the liberating power of unreasonable joy.

It is never what a person says, but rather -
It is what you forbid which defines your belief.
It is what you tolerate which defines your allegiance.

@Harvard2H It isn't exactly SM and doesn't replace Substack but if you would ever like a public chatroom in Chatbooth just give a shout and we'll get it done for you. Of course you can set up a private one too! :-)

This doesn't resonate; it's confounding things - I love my washing machine, my electricity, my water heater - they make life much more productive & I appreciate that. I don't love the companies that provide them b/c they are not (generally) honest actors; tech cos esp.
