1. you sure as hell don’t need to be outright-homeless to be in poverty. That’s born into destitution not mere-poverty ( the working-poor, in less-than-living-wage, are in poverty, but at-least they’ve got some lifeline, temporarily ).

2. In some countries, there is a safety-net of some kind.

3. tropical-contexts are MUCH less dangerous than nordic contexts, for this question.

4. yes, education & employment & online-shopping & library-card, etc, all require that a person be not homeless, that they have a “legal address” that isn’t a post-office box.

5. would the child be taken away, to care for them? Hoomin, in some countries there are harvesting of children for organ-removal, or for plain extermination: homeless/underclass lives are garbage in many institutions/class’s eyes… you’ve obviously never lived homeless for years.

6. to great extent it depends on the culture, more than anything else. & individual-person’s-culture changes, throughout life ( people tend to become more conservative in some ways, as they get older, though that doesn’t mean moneyarchy-conservative, that can mean philosophically-conservative, or spiritually-conservative, or whatever, but the tendency is general & well-attested )

7. What magical-factor would somehow “prevent” being homeless-from-birth, globally?? That doesn’t even make any sense.

Selling-out principles, just because others have done-so, is properly called “race to the bottom”, but in the moral sense.

This is exactly why there is no point, whatsoever, in pretending that political motivation will ever be good-enough: integrity has to outrank political-motivation, XOR the result is fucked, guaranteed, even though it may take some time to get there.

Just downvote this bitter old one, since what I’m saying is unacceptable on all sides/variants of the political-motivation landscape.

Someone who thinks!

Slightly-incorrect-framing, but you are onto something…

Having women train males in social-process-competence ( & therefore in social-process-confidence ) would be good/useful.

( I’m an old male mind, btw, not a wymmin, obviously : )

The problem’s more-fundamental than social-behavior, though:

People can be in the mere-animal stages-of-unconscious-mind-development, in which case unconsciousness, identity, hormones, & ego rule the whole world,

XOR people can be in self-conquering condition.

Civilization has eradicated that from our lives.

Tribal-villages used to allow males to measure themselves against the forces-of-nature until self-conquering was earned ( a kind of training which had a terrible slaughter-rate, for the number of successes ).

When we switched to feudalism, & industry-feudalism/oligarchy, we never put a proper growing-up-means for the more-testosterone-driven humans, so we broke self-conquering, leaving toxic-masculinity to fester…

It isn’t domineering-others, it is conquering-one’s-self, that is the ultimate Male condition, but the whole world ignores that, because the systems & processes in-place eradicate the potential from all the lives that the systems/processes can.

There was an article in Reader’s Digest, possibly last-century, & a principal at a school had failed, & failed, & failed, to communicate to parents how different the learning-process NEEDS to be, for the yin ( girls, in his mind: I’m the one who threw-away the sex/gender, leaving only the yin/yang ), vs the yang.

Finally he knew:

He got the kids divided in the gym, girls on 1 side, boys on the other, & the parents up in the bleachers.

He asked the kids: “Who of you would rather learn in a quiet library?”

Nearly-all girls, few boys, hands went up.

“Who of you would rather learn in a boisterous classroom?”

Nearly-all boys, few girls, hands went up.

NOW the parents understood!!

The process required for growing-up boys is pushier than the process required for growing-up girls!!

There’s a book ( glanced into the sample of it ) called “Balls: It Takes Some To Grow Some”, written by a trans-man, iirc…

It’s on the nature of male-culture…

The Problem, is that the “education” we’ve established on all kids DOESN’T respect yin-vs-yang nature, OR different-learning-speeds-in-different-subjects, OR truth, not institutional-authority, is THE decider of what is right ( teachers can be wrong ), OR correcting-the-learning-materials-when-they’re-wrong, etc…

The WHOLE THING is “educating” our lives into defectiveness, instead of autonomy, competence, capability, & understanding.

& when you begin with that bedrock … what kind of “masculinity” is going to grow??

Certainly-not the right kind, eh?

The more intellectually-pushy a learner is, the more-intellectually-pushy the training needs to be.

The more physically-pushy a learner is, the more-physically-pushy the training needs to be.

Etc.

With the goal being self-conquering, which isn’t even on humankind’s map, at the moment.

That social-process-training would do actual ( needed! ) good for many men, due to the wrong-education they were subjected-to is true.

But correcting-the-problem required re-engineering “education” into being growing lives, not breaking them for institutional-authority’s-comfort, as John Taylor Gatto, NY State Teacher of the Year Award winner, learned.

( he discovered, after trashing his teaching-career by telling the truth, in the research he did later, that it was the coal industry who had paid for the education-establishment, so as to prevent any more Lincoln or Franklin types from occurring, & it worked )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis

John Taylor Gatto is the one who explained that a VALID ( & knowing they are valid ) child isn’t manipulateable-by-the-institution the way the institution requires, for its status, among institutions, to be produced…

but a broken child, dependent on provisionally-bestowed-by-the-institution “approval”, IS manipulateable.

THAT cracked-open much of middle-class-institution/gov’t-institution bullying, for me ( gov’t towns are worst for that ).

Social-competence, with associated social-confidence, is required, & your idea is right in correcting that problem…

but that problem isn’t the fundamental one.

( also, broken-parenting due to parents not having livingwage, thereby economically enforcing attachment-disorder, is another fundamental-cause of the problems our current world is embodying )

You wanted males NOT contributing in the discussion, so downvote me, all, but the points stand on their-own, because they test to be true, & in my values, truth has rights, including the right-to-be-seen/heard.

Why would it be my business?

YOUR life & karma are YOUR life & karma.

Commit into Eternity, face the consequences ( as benJoseph said: “take up your cross”, aka face into one’s karma ), & endless-stream-of-universe’s “processing” of one’s continuum/soul will eventually release one’s continuum from entrapment/containment in ignosis/soul-ignorance.

For judging the nature of their actions ( re what they can vs can’t actually do ), that knowledge would be useful-framing, but otherwise, it’s irrelevant.

Is anybody-else finding there to be an improbable number of meteorites hitting the ground, the last few days, while interstellar i3/ATLAS just passed Jupiter at 57k km & a possible-carrington-event sungrazer comet is swinging toward the sun??

The last couple of big meteors were measured in tonnes ( when the hit the atmosphere, 1 was 18t, iirc )…

I wonder if betting on more of the things would make any sense…

Oh, & that possible-carrington-event comet: I saw a space-weather video on yt which showed that when it grazes the sun, there will be sunspots facing us which just-recently fired a CME big-enough to show-up around most of the sun, from our perspective, even-though it was on the other side of the sun…

2-weeks for the sun to turn 180-deg, & apparently that’s when sungrazer may get turned into plasma, & then the plasma slammed by the magnetic-fields into the sunspots, triggering a big CME right at us…

I believe that that would be, as the world is disintegrating into insanity, “the icing on the cake”, at this point…

• Geomagnetic-pole-flip beginning
• ClimatePunctuation is accelerating towards its maximum-speed
• glacier-removal & sea-level-rise triggering too-many-quakes, as the tectonic-shell flexes
• weather-chaos in the ClimatPunctuation
• political tantrum/pogrom
• religious tantrum/pogrom
• too-many noticeable-meteorites all of a sudden
• “comet of DOOM” ( 1/2 the diameter of Pluto?, the oort-cloud one, forgot its name ) heading toward Saturn’s orbit, while i3/ATLAS grazes Jupiter, & sungrazer swings towards the Sun
• AND a possible carrington-event in April??

( sky turns red & “stars”/satellites drop down from/into the atmosphere/sky: There is an Apache prophecy about that, & there used to be a part of the Christian bible which was translated that way, too, but the translations now are different )

“Mere coincidence”, these days, is getting absurd.

You have hit-upon exactly the perfect proof of why Justice has to be left to karma, & harm-reduction has to be what humankind’s doing.

Murdercide is what New Scientist called the suicide-bombers, as murder is the point, & that needed to be in the term

Harm-reduction, correction, & preventing-future-harm are the 3 that humankind can do, but Justice is something that only karma ( “what a soul sows, that soul has no-alternative but to reap” ) can enforce, at ITS timescale ( many-many-lives, not mere-years ).

The details of different cases would have to be the basis of sorting-out how harm-reduction & correction ought be done, & eventually the principles required would become clear, & could be codified, but the underlying-fact is that Justice requires that ALL the guilty be corrected, & the rude fact that some remove themselves, so as to exempt themselves from accountability, means that at our timescale, Justice is only an aspiration/anchor/direction, not something that we can guarantee.

StopTech doesn’t understand that when biodiesel is manufactured properly, the hydrocarbon-chain-lengths are limited to the appropriate-for-that-specific-type-of-fuel lengths-range.

Used cooking-oil is chemically a mess & will void the warranties on engines, in its 1st use.

NO engine-manufacturer ought have to warranty ANY engine that has had random “fuel” burned in it.

That it’ll “work”, for awhile … while wrecking sensors, gumming/laquering/carbonizing all kinds of things in the engine, enforcing that the engine-itself won’t be able to perform properly soon … that is a wartime-only “solution”, in my eyes.

Some years ago, Dr. David Williams ( whose website is now gone ), had a paper-newsletter.

A friend of his had cancer, & was in an experimental-drug-trial.

He was the ONLY survivor of that trial.

In the closeout interview, he told them he’d also been taking fenbendazole.

Oh, well they already knew about that, so his surviving wasn’t surprising, then.

Dr. David Williams was LIVID.

Oncologists KNEW a way to defeat cancer, & they SAT ON IT??

The only site with information on it, nowadays, seems to be:

I’m a brain-decimation survivor, & have been gaslit by doctors all my life ( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: he taught me to think, but medical-culture’s narcissistic, & I went no-contact with both parents, for years-at-a-time, to protect my life from their prejudice against their inferior’s having any validity )

IF I had cancer, I’d be taking that, if I could.

There are 2 opposing emotional-motivations to understand…

1. the default assumption-river/prejudice/religion/ideology homogenousness is comforting
2. Science’s competitive-diversity-of-opinion-for-sake-of-FINDING-Truth culture.

The default, comfort-seeking, results in filter-bubbles.

The latter can win, but it takes a WEIRD population, who really buys-in to it, to make it work well.

Any population who does make that work, can out-think & out-innovate the comfort/inertia cultivating cultures.

Bower or Bowers wrote a book debunking the “hypnotism doesn’t exist” pseudoscience, decades ago.

Basically, if you get 2 populations, & have 1 population go into hypnosis-session intentionally faking it … and you don’t have the other population going into it faking,

& the hypnotist is competent,

THEN the measurable difference-in-behavior between the 2 groups is proof that it’s real.

Hypnosis is as real as multiple-personality-disorder, or as different-personality-while-in-shock-from-trauma.

It’s just a more unconscious-mind dominant state, is all.

Dreams are real, too, btw.

Are you old enough to remember all the machiavellianisms committed by Microslop corp?

As a relatively-recent example, their Windows Vista would secretly inform MS of all the search-queries done within windows.

And … for some incomprehensible reason, that wasn’t prosecuted as a criminal offense.

So, MS was being informed of things like …

• hospital searching for “William Smith, bone cancer” & the search found the right file, & THAT kind of information was being forwarded back?

• police searching for “Bob and Alice, classical physics violators”, & THAT kind of information would be forwarded back to MS?

You don’t engineer-in machiavellianism like MS has done, for … it’s 40-years now? something like that … without making SOME people understand just how religious some corporations are, about being DarkTriad ( narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy ), in nature.

& they aren’t the only ones.

Nowadays, any corporation which violates DarkTriad … is considered … perhaps “mentally ill”, by market standards?

I’m only using MS as an example.

Remember when OpenOffice.org became the property of Oracle?

LibreOffice.org was born in a week or 2?

Cynicism absolutely is warranted, nowadays.

I’m old-enough that MS’s stealing of Stac Electronics’ disk-compression algorithm, but they fucked-it-up, in their DOS 6.20 bit me.

I found out, after using LM Studio, that LLM’s can access everything on one’s own system.

I don’t know to what degree that’s true with LM Studio, but 1 time I gave an internet-address, & the LLM told me what it had found on the site I just told it of.

I hadn’t known it had unrestricted internet-access.

Later, I learned it could probably read every file on my system, too, & some AI-attacks get the LLM to get info from people’s personal files, single-out the credit-card, address, contacts, etc, information, & have the LLM forward that to a server out there…

That isn’t a security-concern that normals would even consider.

NOW I know that if I ever fire-up my desktop again, I’ll have to rip-out the LLM’s from my normal user-account, & create a completely-separate locked-down account, with NOTHING ELSE in it, only for them.

& keep EVERYTHING personal in a different account, that they can’t even see.

That isn’t an LM Studio specific thing, that is apparently required for ALL the things.

That’ll leave Trump free to concentrate on destroying all civilrights in the Americas, without any distraction.

Which will remove ALL backing from the EU.

China needs the West broken, so they’ll make Putin an offer he can’t refuse, since he’s economically-powerless, now:

China supplants Russian gov’t, & Putin’ll be allowed to keep warring against Europe all he wants, with whatever lives he can scrounge, so long as they aren’t CCP lives.

He’ll agree.

Asia, ditched completely by the West, will be on China’s plate.

Then about 7y of that Regional Consolidation Stage go on, until the “Caucasian Serpent Time” is finished.

I expect Trump to be replaced about 1/2-way-through that 7y cycle, by Musk.

Putin may be replaced too, if that’s what China needs, in their “Russia” vassal-state.

( “Caucasian Serpent Time” you can ask the Indigenous People about, & some of them will understand, probably having heard of the “White Serpent Time”: it’s the same thing, just with slightly-different terminology. Different traditions use different labels, is all )

So, 7+y from today, the Americas Wars implode, & the wasteland remaining has to be rebuilt, but … China’d be IDIOTIC to NOT launch EVERYTHING their then-empire’s got, against the West, wouldn’t they?

They are not idiotic.

That is the “CCP Serpent Time”, aka the “Red Serpent Time”.

It lasts about 4+decades…

Exactly as Ukraine NOW is TOUGHER than it was 5y-ago, so-too will the West, as a whole, in 7y, what’s left of it…
