As supportive and stimulating as many of my comments are, the radioactive few make it very difficult for me to spend much time reading comments beyond the first 24-48 hours of a video's release. With the responses I get sometimes, I have to wonder if they're baiting, if they bothered to watch the video at all, or if there was a critical failure at listening comprehension. How, pray tell, does one come away from my recent video with the belief that my position is "tech bad" when I clearly benefit from it, appreciate it, and want it to work better for both humanity and nature (which should not be so separated)? Having to sift through these sorts of misunderstandings and misplaced critiques can be very demotivating, but au contraire, it remains a constant motivation for me to stay off the socials and just focus on improving my work, my understanding, and my ability to communicate my ideas.

It bears mentioning: I appreciate those of you who bring new angles, constructive critiques, and a measure of charity to the dialogue, please keep it coming.

P.S. If you haven't seen it yet, Innuendo Studios has an excellent recent video that overlaps with this very issue, also coming from a creator's perspective.

In my research for an upcoming It Could Happen Here podcast episode on anarchism in Brazil, I learned that anarchist workers in early 20th century Brazil would put on plays blending entertainment and education that also raised funds for the other initiatives of the labour movement. It's an inspirational reminder of the role that the creative arts can play in organising efforts. What creative forms of organising have you encountered?

See Anarchism and Social Movements in Brazil (1903–2013) by Felipe Corrêa, Rafael Viana da Silva, and Kauan Willian dos Santos for more.

Do you have any questions about the library economy? Any nuances you'd like to see explored? I'd like to spin the block on the concept, hopefully expand on it, and clear up any confusion in a future video.

In case you haven't seen the original video on the topic, here it is:
