All design that holds,
all form that persists,
arises from field-conditioned feedback,
not from projection.

Just going by the plot summary it seems very optimistic though regarding the development & amount of resistance in the general population as well as in the army, compared to what I remember from the later actual history of fascist governments :'|

I would so not enjoy a trip like that. I am the same about my routines, if I can't keep up at least the pared down travel version of them AND I can't get significant alone time I basically teeter along the edge of meltdown until I can

he was! he was abused as a child by his own parents (who also used to be nazis...), but always steadfast and gentle with me. the acid and weed might have had something to do with that :)

...and my dad used to be a weed and acid dealer for 7 years (before I was born), and before that used to sometimes shoplift for money, but that seems to always have been pretty chill for him, too.

I never really had anything worth stealing, and that is probably also obvious to most people that see me or had a look at my room or whatever. When I do have money it goes to art books and art supplies and that stuff is not useful for robbing lol

I've lived in a converted warehouse with 13 other people and a lot of through traffic, and a friend had their watch stolen from besides their pillow while they were sleeping ... but also they had a fancy watch to begin with.

I think for me the most likely thing would be to get my bike stolen, but I've never had the kind of bike that would be worth stealing.

All the bits of the city the yellow press likes to scandalize as "problems" (Alexanderplatz, Goerli) ... are just not white enough for their taste afaict, but have never seemed especially dangerous to me. Nor have I heard from friends experiencing such things there.

"druggy and touristy" does not equal "poor" or "cheap" there at all. stuff is complicated. I'd consider it much more likely for me to be murdered by a car driver while on my bike than to be robbed there.

... but I've lived there for a long time passing through those parts of the city that are considered exceptionally druggy and touristy and the worst thing that happened to me was dealers being annoying while hawking their wares.

Uh, *raises hand, but I am poor *in Europe* maybe that's it? I've lived in some parts of London where I definitely could have been, it just didn't happen. I would not expect it to happen in most "poor" parts of Berlin either, only some exceptionally druggy AND touristy ones maybe.

I was in a relationship once where sometimes we would meet for breakfast or catch up when my partner was coming back/down from a night out and I was starting my day...

Still it is always a tradeoff that I can feel in my body and sometimes I get sad about this being the case. I love (sometimes) spending time with people! But I never feel as good as when I get up at 2:30. *sigh

Ugh I love this for you! I get up at the same time, but have to coordinate dinner (and thus going to bed) with others, so can't go to bed as early. I have a 3h nap in the forenoon instead. And sometimes I go places where more of my friends live and temporarily adjust to more sociable hours.

Make an economy where being a dirtbag is a viable lifestyle option, and you create a society that, as a side effect, allows people to create cool shit.
An economy friendly to dirtbags is friendly to *everyone* with a weird cool hobby.

You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit?
Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit?
Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers
