Infinite Agency

Pink panther and bumbling detective stories are funny because they hide a truth.  If you're competent the agencies will likely recruit you.   They will use you.  Fuck that noise.

You actually want to be incompetentfor tackling a big problem.   After all if the answer is known why would you need to solve it.   Essentially everyone is mostly incompetent but some people believe they are.

Listen, gather data, interact.  Send letters to the CIA.  Send letters to politicians, parties agencies etc.   That all doesn't matter.  Engagements you get tackling a issue from different tangents.  

Engage with the workers, citizens.Understand assumptions that each party to a problem makes by letting people correct you by explaining things to you.   Bumbling is very important.

Learn what others don't and why on the worker and individual level things aren't working.

Always present your flaws and make mistakes.  People will test you.  Fail.  Fail. Fail it doesn't matter.  You don't work for them.  You work for everyone.  Take your time and reach enlightenment.     

Instead of fixing problems people would do well to understand why they exist first.  Don't remove fences you don't know why they were built.  Let the competent people do that and really fuck things up.

There's beauty in the broken. Find it.

There is no limit to individual Agency.   There's a near infinite amount of individual agents to engage and see the world through.

Social structures are climbable.  They are jungle gyms.  The more types you learn the less limits you have.  You become a gymnast. 

You can use your phone to connect two points on the planet.   There's no practical limit to this kind of power.

Those that don't hear the music think the dancers are insane.   Cognitive limitations are overcome by imagination and new paradigms.

Clued in with Kindness

Kindness, Awareness, and Community Safety

Did you know that a simple act of kindness can also be a powerful tool for protecting our communities? By engaging with those experiencing homelessness, we can gain valuable insights into the challenges they face, including the prevalence of drug use.

Developing the ability to recognize the signs of drug use, such as specific smells and physical indicators, is crucial for safeguarding ourselves and our neighborhoods. This isn't a skill most people possess, but it's one we can acquire.

Volunteering at a local soup kitchen offers a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about these issues. By interacting with individuals experiencing homelessness, we can develop a keen sense of observation and begin to recognize the subtle cues associated with drug use.

Imagine being able to identify a potential overdose situation before it becomes a tragedy. Or detecting drug-related activities in public spaces, allowing you to alert authorities or take necessary precautions. This knowledge empowers us to be proactive in protecting ourselves and our loved ones.

It's time to break the silence. Let's start by volunteering our time, opening our hearts, and sharpening our senses. Together, we can create safer and healthier communities for everyone.

It's essential to understand that while kindness is crucial, it's equally important to avoid actions that might inadvertently contribute to the problem. Providing money or items that can be easily exchanged for drugs can perpetuate the cycle of addiction. Instead of offering material goods that could be misused, focus on providing practical items like socks, granola bars, coffee, or even freezies on a hot day. These items offer immediate comfort and sustenance without the risk of enabling harmful behaviors. By understanding the complexities of addiction, we can offer assistance that truly empowers individuals to overcome their challenges.
