Most depections of telekinesis do not exert an opposing force on the user, in other words the force is exerted in an arbitrary vector from an arbitrary point in space. That means you could compress a hole in the ground under you but not levitate at all because the force doesn’t act on your body. If it did act on your body lifting 5000 lb would crush your bones to dust.

As other people have pointed out a better option is the “magic carpet ride” or more desirable “flying motocycle” angle, where you Exert force on an object and it moves you as it normally would when pushed or pulled by any other force. I personally like the “infinite parasailing/paragliding” angle as it is possible to do without immediately being noticeable as strange by the public, and it requires less mental effort since you are still using lift for upforce.

That’s Telekinesis Kyle!

Accidentally nailed it.

Ugh, yeah, I fought aurocorrect over it and lost in the end it looks like. Got it fixed up now.

Alibaba in some ways.

Nasreddin Hoca is the most popular Turkish folk hero

Anansi the Spider is a great trickster folklore character from the Akan in Ghana. I loved these stories as a kid and had a great book on tape.

Can’t go wrong with this list:

To build on this, it would be accurate to say that Anarchy is the principle upon which the technologies of Anarchism are built. Rather than a political system, which inherently function through obligation of participation or subjugation, the technologies of anarchism are participatory. That is to say anarchism provides methodologies of engagement between individuals and groups to achieve outcomes without obligation or subjugation which are imposed by the system, replacing those attributes of hierarchy instead with consent, participation, and consensus which are fundamentally voluntary and opt-in in nature.

Another way to say this is that Political Systems are means by which a group forces rules upon individuals, while Anarchism is a set of methods by which individuals can perform actions as groups.

I’m not saying I won’t be buying real estate in San Francisco, Magic The Gathering cards, and shares in big tech, but a solid backbone of 1000x value bitcoin is hard to beat on multiples.

Actually bitcoin on a physical harddrive purchased at $50 or below stored in a safety deposit box is pretty ironclad.

Red pill all the way. Personal experience gains to be had. Also of course there is the prospect of crypto billionairedom.

Maybe Atlantis? Also maybe the fremen parts of Dune, though that again is more primitivist in some respects.

I’d say overall Solarpunk still lacks its cornerstone film.

Nausicaa is more solar/windpunk than Princess Mononoke, which is more primitivist.

In some sense Waterworld qualifies.

Also Cloud Atlas in some of the settings, though a bit more primitivist

Wasn’t there an Olympics in China not so long ago?

I think my instance kbin.run may have it blocked from the all feed by default.

At least in KBin/Mbin instances there are magazines called “Random” by default that include an non-taghed microblog posts and threads.

Once again forgetting to use quotation marks around movie titles delivers a memorable and misconstrued headline.

IDK, if this community has any hope of being anywhere near as comprehensive in coverage as the News Subreddits were its going to take some superusers.

The Amazon is a planted forest, it is looking more and more like it will need aggressive planting to keep it healthy. We should support the indigenous Amazonian in this work for all our sake.

Ouch. I’m kinda surprised the Pentagon is cool with this.
