For every protocol, project, company and institution, I want to ask the same questions.
Does it provide a real human benefit?
Does it work well enough to deliver that benefit?
Does it increase informed human agency?
Does it protect privacy and require meaningful consent?
Is it open to inspection, participation and adaptation?
Does it distribute power or merely relocate it?
Do the people creating value receive a fair share?
Are decisions, funding relationships, conflicts and failures visible?
Can people leave without losing their money, identity, data, audience or relationships?
Are workers, creators, educators, designers and moderators respected and compensated?
Are environmental costs measured honestly?
Does the system protect civil liberties and reduce coercion?
These #questions are not designed to reveal whether someone is a good person.
They are designed to reveal how a system behaves.

Create a beautiful world.

TLDR: The end result is a world where every human being has the knowledge, tools and power to meaningfully participate in—and say no to—the systems governing their life.
A human-centered civilization
A world where technology serves people—not governments, corporations, markets or machines at people’s expense.
People have:
* Agency over their lives
* Privacy and meaningful consent
* Access to trustworthy information
* Control of their identities and data
* Freedom to communicate and organize
* Real ownership of their work and creations
* The ability to question decisions
* A way to appeal automated decisions
* A meaningful ability to leave harmful systems
* A voice in institutions affecting them
Power is:
* Visible
* Distributed
* Auditable
* Contestable
* Reversible
* Accountable for harm
Public investment produces public benefit.
Companies may profit, but they cannot privatize every reward while transferring catastrophic risks to society.
AI performs labor without replacing human judgment, dignity or responsibility.
Technology expands human possibility without quietly eliminating human choice.

It would be so beautiful

was working on my #Bowie quilt & realized something
Reversed, the quilt begins:
The Next Day
Under the God
Where Are We Now?
Velvet Goldmine
★
D.J.
Up the Hill Backwards
The Prettiest Star
As the World Falls Down…
Then the traveler passes through:
Scary Monsters
I’m Afraid of Americans
Loving the Alien
Cat People
Sorrow
Panic in Detroit
Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide
At the center comes collapse and rebirth:
Five Years
Oh! You Pretty Things
All the Young Dudes
The Jean Genie
Fashion
Lazarus
Then the message becomes unmistakable:
This Is Not America
Sound and Vision
Moonage Daydream
Golden Years
Young Americans
Fame
The Man Who Sold the World
Ashes to Ashes
Changes
Rebel Rebel
And it finishes:
Starman
Under Pressure
Modern Love
Life on Mars?
Space Oddity
“Heroes”
Ziggy Stardust
Let’s Dance
Not an objectively encoded prophecy, obviously—but as accidental narrative?
For an #artist : I’d say it probably intentional … after a timeframe at least
Death → rebirth → revelation → rebellion → transcendence → joy.
That is the quilt’s story. 🛸⚡️✨ for my forever ♾️ #Starman #Quilt#story
Will somebody explain what that even means please 🙏
