toxic tax. harm tax. detox tax. repair tax. mend tax. heal tax. cleanuptax idk what to call it. basically...

tax things to the cost of repairing their harm.
(this would include all costs of implementation and determination).

it's not children we need teach. children learn rapidly easily anyway.
it's old people. they're the ones stubborn to learn, going around stubbornly holding onto wrong ideas, with the accumulated power to act on those wrong ideas.

imagine we augmented #economics
such that we didnt reward #parasites
or at least, not just parasites, and reward #symbiotic #synergy more.

can you imagine it?

can you imagine the effect that would have?

no longer ~ rewarding the most #worthyvampire with all the power and wealth to hoard and abuse, to the detriment of all else, ~ no longer that.
all the goodness rewarded.

for example, a manufacture would no longer be economically coerced to make their product disempower the purchaser/user of that product with unecessary complexities and legalities that force the purchaser/user into dependence. #pedagogy could #thrive along with our products, fully informing the user, fully empowering the user, to use, mend, adapt their products and technologies. #FreeSoftware is an example of such #emancipationTechnology that'd be even more prolific and normal in such an economic system that encourages and rewards being helpful, rather than encourages hindering to increase wealth extraction which increases poverty/destitution that adds costs on us all.

#aptitudetestadvocate

i'll re-tell this story again.

when i was in a training institute, one of the part-time tutors was fascinated by me, and, snuck out an #aptitudetest from the gov employment and "social security" institution from across the road that she also worked at, for me to take. i only got to take about half of its couple dozen or so tests within its whole range of tests. it tested not just #iq which you may have heard of, (itself separated to 3 tests, for #visualinteligence #verbalinteligence and #mathsinteligence), but then also #emotionalinteligencequotient #eq, #wisdomquotient #wq, psychelogical, psychiatric, intraspective, introspective, philosophical, metaphystical, spiritual, religious, moral, ethical, sporting, physical, mechanical, physiological, dance, musical, ... social, political, ... i think (diminishing certainty of recollection) ecconomic, accounting, geometric, artistic, aesthetic, biological, genetic, environmental, spacial, geocentric, medical, electromagnetic, chemical, alchemical, astrological, psychedelic, theological, natural, scientific, sentience, ... ... and a few others i forget. it astonished me that this wasn't the first piece on the curriculum, the first thing taught to us in all schooling, and re-referenced & re-tested as frequently as we liked.

everything else looked liked nonsensical fumbling in the dark without this knowledge.

even just the array of the tests, their specificity, those tests, just to see them listed, was a mind opening revelation. perhaps you too were a little too hemmed in in your thinking by the noise of the logical/emotional as-if-there's-only-two. understandable, given how much lip service that gets.

i see this as a piece of #emancipationtechnology, that if were availed freely openly to us all, we would all be better empowered to do what we're better suited to and do better, and not mistake ourselves better in areas we may not be, and find areas we may not have realised we excel at, and find better ways to interactively deploy ourselves, and on and on. find out things you dont know. be better by it. the point being... this sort of #fullspectrumaptitudetest should be availed to us all so we fathom ourselves to so well deploy ourselves to make all better by it. such tests should not be hidden in the bottom of a cupboard. these full spectrum aptitude tests should be availed to all.
