the replies to this are amazing they get at something that feels weird about forgetting who grows the food and who repairs the pipes https://t.co/5bqmungg9p
hold your word, monk has a diagram as powerful as any of @this_is_silvia — the energetics simply, directly drawn https://t.co/FHOlnRQPrg

@utotranslucence I love that you're articulating this. I've had a gripe for awhile with visions for humanity that economically are the equivalent of everyone trying to pay everyone for doing cool stuff but nobody is actually growing the food etc
artists need a society to feed them. there can only be so many unless you know what? they have day jobs too https://t.co/OT649eHMk1
floatyland economies need to export out https://t.co/hQyE8WBeaK
3 key facts to remember: 1. some businesses ground out (proverb "does it grow corn?") ; others float on top 2. whoever pays you gets (paid by someone who)ⁿ eventually gets paid by a farmer or oil-worker 3. growing the specialized floatyland economy requires exporting out of it https://t.co/fxhtZwFNve
>I might go a step further and say it's a bit unhealthy to make all your money from 1:1 work i’m not saying it always is, but it feels imp to have a conception of participating in the deeply important kind of thing that is coaching without privatising, making it a profession https://t.co/sbF3FxiHoo
@AskYatharth @SarahAMcManus has a quote that you want in this thread... aha! found it I think I might go a step further and say it's a bit unhealthy to make all your money from 1-on-1 work (if aiming for a salary like $60k) https://t.co/PQ0AYkyarg
it irks me when everything needs to be professionalised people who have these skills, might direct the great amount effort they want to, on just like… being a member of society, but mentoring kids, helping people in their life https://t.co/Nvm4cjujxI
do you love coaching? great. can you bring it into your life, in a way you’re sustainably able to help the friends, loved ones, kids in your life who need it the most benefit? awesome. still feels aligned to make it full-time? fuck yeah but create those energetic relationships
what does a community where elders and mentorship and generational reciprocity is alive look like? it feels invaluable to start from there. then see how and why to make full-time work resist the mandate to professionalise everything https://t.co/KPmUhRk4NW
the energetic equivalent of setting up orphanages they’re not trying to “become a full time orphanage creator” they’re trying to do the thing, without requiring the economy fully support it, using excess from elsewhere
@AskYatharth IMO growing food is insanely cool and I wish that perspective was more of a cultural norm https://t.co/qEmIfpqfNA

@QiaochuYuan @mattgoldenberg At a @ZendoProject training, a therapist said approx: "If you're going into therapy as a career, I highly recommend picking up a hobby like woodworking. You can't control how things go for your clients, so you need a different outlet for satisfying self-directed progress."
@Malcolm_Ocean @AskYatharth @SarahAMcManus ooh yeah this is a juicy vein https://t.co/8Sfc6Ml69X
i'm suspicious of people who seek patronage for work that undermines the basis on which the funds they're willing to accept were earned...and i'm also suspicious of this suspicion because it feels mostly like ressentiment, but also feel like there's wisdom at the heart of it
@Malcolm_Ocean @AskYatharth @SarahAMcManus yes that does trigger suspicion (but i'm also suspicious about that suspicion)more general vibe is: be aware of your subsidies or at least that you're probably subsidized heavily even if you may not recognize it yet
@abhayance @AskYatharth @SarahAMcManus yeah, makes sense like maybe that's one part of the whole stepping stone from here to wherever we're going! fewer skilled people down to work in corporate BS seems like good pressure towards companies with better cultures (via changes or new ones)
