It appears that Meshtastic is free and open-source, and it allows people to use a LoRa device to send end-to-end encrypted messages across unlicensed ISM bands (e.g. 915 MHz in the US)

These messages are relayed across nodes in the mesh network (the record is 331 km)

TIL about LoRa (Long Range) radio, a type of decentralized technology that can be used to communicate without cellular networks, Wi-Fi, internet, etc and without using much energy

I think that this teaching format often stays surface-level and does not actually develop learning and understanding the mechanics of skills in a conscious & consistent enough way to build intuitive knowledge, e.g. "sight reading" vs phonics

An immense flaw in the prevailing strain of Western pedagogy to me is that people are often being taught entirely by copying existing ideas, ones that they have been assured to assume are ostensibly economically or socioculturally "successful", in the pursuit of hastily developing a practical skill

Techbros are nauseating to listen to and philosophybros are nauseating to listen to but there is a relatively new rise of the fusion of the two that is somehow even worse in a unique way

I think this is especially important for those interested in identifying & disarming potentially harmful power dynamics

In order to understand power, you must understand leverage

"Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility - as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say "I trust you, " but what does that mean?"

I think that ostensibly authoritative directives, explicit or implicit, to hold these feelings should be met with healthy skepticism & careful investigation (e.g. a religious or corporate entity that wants people to feel fear to push them towards an idea or product)

However, it seems like Westernized societies tend to excessively focus on negative reinforcement as a push factor, especially through irrational dogma that unhealthily perpetuates feelings like fear, disgust, guilt, insecurity, and shame on a conscious or subconscious level
