It is because of this technological age that I have been able to share everything I know, the skills the litterary minds and the avenues are all here on this forum.
See it in fully flow wherever I go in my avatars real and albums galore, I'm not looking for recognition just helping myself first then passing on my knowledge for free in metal wood and leather.

If there were such outlets like these in house we could almost move mountains as they say. I know that everybody does'nt have my abilities or interests but to datewe have saved many thousands learning to do the tasks as we went. We diversified into totally different fields.
Talkies are all the rage we know but film was invented first and the culmination is the most powerful media of all like joined up writing and a licence to print money.

I think that "list of 4" is incredibly important for everyone, rich and poor. And yes, getting out, being together, having been of use to others in a day: all free and available from one minute to the next. But I think old, poor and "useless" people become so demoralised they no longer think to enjoy what is around them. They are so written off, even by their own kind and certainly by the people who work with them.
I'm firmly of the belief that the Human is the most spectacular of all creations. Even the "lowest". Even the most uneducated or disadvantaged. They can, if they want, if they are shown how, if they are even slightly empowered, change everything about themselves and around themselves. They just need to remember it and feel "enabled".
Uniting, having a say, sharing ideas and outings.... wouldn't that be something?

I agree with everything you've said here, and I think it's vitally important. It's definitely hard to achieve because we live in this technological corporate matrix that constantly tells you that you're not worth anything if you don't drive a BMW, but the more people that get together and resolve to support each other and help each other out, the better. Of course, this is precisely the sort of support that the Jobcentre will never give them, because their remit is to churn out economically useful pawns.
The self same technological age has also been the culprit to rob us of the motivation to do things for ourselves, when we can press a button to get it done. And when its thrust at us ever more cheaply, we think its great and will be reluctant to change. Its a great oportunity to spread the help across the internet right enough. But when you can go into to the local supermarket to get goods for half nothing, because the slaves in the fields get feck all anyway, are we going to change to help ourselves and the slaves as a whole, or are we more likely to help ourselves first, and fek the slaves.
I,m lucky enough , like apprentice to have had the opportunity to learn many skills thoroughly enough to not have to call on , an electrician, carpenter , joiner, cabinetmaker, wood turner, wood carver, plasterer, brickie, mechanic, roofer, gardener, panter, decorator ect.And it was because I dont like giving exhorbitant amounts of profit to people to do, what I should be able to do for myself. I,ve never had the need to exchange large amounts of profit to like minded people as myself. I exchange skills, and its mutually beneficial for anyone I trade with. And the only people involved in the trade are us, no middleman, and no robbing thieving government officials, and no rich fat cat at the top of the corporate pyramid getting profit from me. End of rant. If you want to get independant in living, get the necessary tools to do that, and that means the skill you require.
