Fuzzytek – Providing solutions and connecting people to possibility

Listen both with and without intent, each offers lessons
Consider systemic processes more deeply
Research materials beyond the normal, this is where hidden truths lie
Love so many more people than I’d ever conceived
Evolution must bear resistance to norms
Perceive how twisted peace and love can be
Look in the face of authority without fear
Manifest love through the creations of each day, they should nourish
Home is where I create peace
Normalize the stresses of live, living matters most so make the most from living

So many significant deaths in the decade, which includes both of my parents, more than a handful of activists I was close with during the formational time for Occupy Detroit. Each was like a family member.

The things in life come and go more quickly now, it has forced me to be more liquid in the tools I work with. My sense of self-employment needs a better commitment in the coming decade. Perhaps I’ve waited far too long to set better vision, but here it is 2020 now.

Reflecting on Impeachment

Stephen Boyle blog, Political Impeachment, Marianne2020, politics, Trump 0

Emoting Marianne Williamson on Impeachment

We’re entering a time when deep thoughts of how our society allowed a president into office who was declared impeachable from the first day. Collectively we have to take in our personal role and how the system works through us. It’s said that “bad laws enable bad things to happen”.

Our collective moral compass needs adjusting to deny what is against our better judgement. We need leadership on that journey of change that isn’t willing to allow the infection any foothold. “Not on my watch” is to move into action when injustice appears. We have to hold the results of our active changes accountable for the role they play in the whole of things. Monitor, reveal, engage is a cycle of responsibility. We know we could do better… It is time to act on that. When you need support in seeing a path more clearly ASK, LISTEN, DO. It is always easier to be in action with others. Humans are communal beings. We create societies… some don’t serve to bring our higher intentions and they need examined.

The impeachment proceedings are going to the Senate next. A body of elected officials, a society if you will, that collectively has supported President Trump. We have to encourage them toward a higher outcome than continue forward with a broken system delivering a person subject to impeachment. As we move through this process the weaknesses in society need examined then addressed. We’re we at a point wherethe electoral college needs abolished? Are we going to remove political parties from rule by corporate ownership? Are we the people ready to be responsible with our vote insisting that our will is manifested?

As we support candidate(s) for elected office how are we engaged? Is it personal enough to be involved? Are we looking beyond a faceoff to the 4 years that follow? Have you found a community to empower with your presence that is collectively doing the right thing? Is that a community you’d like to see everywhere?

As we approach the passing of one year to the next, we assess what’s happened on our watch and resolve for how that watch will be in the year ahead. Be ready to harvest what you sow… that journey may not be easy, the results will be remarkably different because of your involvement. 🙌🏼
It’s in your hands and on your mind the watch is served. 🙅🏽

Climate Crisis Engagement – Marianne Williamson

Stephen Boyle Activism, blog, consciousness, Political Climate Change, Climate Crisis, environmental justice, Green New Deal, Marianne2020 0

Mobilizing on Climate Crisis - Marianne Williamson

Many people think 5-10 years and more into the future. Some of us act on those thoughts and speak with others. We lend our energy into the worldwide conversation. The ‘ears’ of the world realize the energy shared in forming bigger conversations. Sometimes those that start the conversation aren’t they ones bearing it into formation and action. Please realize we’re all creators of dreams, and sharing them is the greatest power we possess. The human collective consciousness is much larger than we are taught to consider. We’re all each other’s blessings and concerns.

Addressing Climate Crisis

One of the greatest concerns of American corporations at this time is the #EJmovement (Environmental Justice Movement), there is resistance to the #GreenNewDeal in restructuring how our society acts to solve a planetary problem that human activity has exacerbated. Those of us in the movement toward #CleanAir, #CleanWater, #CleanLand work in overlapping roles, it would be wonderful to see more people being active in changing what is around them. Simple actions can lead to large solutions. One person picking up waste can lead to others picking up and even more realizing they shouldn’t drop wrappers and taint the environment around them. When the people are doing well we push these efforts onto corporations as well to clean up their actions. Paying fines for polluting isn’t addressing the root cause as the situation appears again… the fines are rarely enough to shut down a business of pollution.

We do need a #MassMobilization to address #ClimateCrisis, something which the Green New Deal begins and turns up bigger than the shared concerns going into World War 2. Division was put to the side because the existence of fascism was gaining ground… and we should all be aware this is presciently now here in the US. Our country is being observed as Germany was in the 1930s. Our mass mobilization has to eradicate #fascism, #genocide, #SystemicOppression foisted by #WhiteSupremacy, #NeoCons, and others which don’t work well in uniting America’s collective energy. We are Americans and have to say #NotOnMyWatch.

Presidential Concerns

When it comes to the Presidential race into the 2020 elections I’m concerned that you may not have heard this message conveyed in a manner you hear deeply. Please share this video, it’ll help show others that you’ve been listening and are ready to share in making a difference.

Marianne Williamson’s campaign needs support to bring videos like this to television for mass viewing. Donating is simple through the phone text 484848 with the word CONTRIBUTE.

Basic Income March in Detroit

Stephen Boyle Activism, blog, Political Automation Tax, Basic Income, Human Displacement, Reparations, Universal Basic Income 0

DETROIT, MICHIGAN: I’m interested as many are in the various nuances of basic income. Some have simply said “Hey $1000 a month is great, I’ll TAKE IT!”. Perhaps that’s motivation enough, but my personal hope is that the public is a bit more curious about how this can be done and how it will impact society. There is a genuine need for social discourse on a topic that is vital in our decision making process politically, economically, and socially.

Worldwide Call To Action

When I saw that October 26, 2019 was a nationwide call to action (became worldwide in a week) for a Basic Income March I sat and considered, who is going to host such a march in Detroit? The issue has been a subject of many current Presidential campaigns; economically and socially it is a hot topic.

Automation Tax & Robot Tax

Some may know that Bill Gates presented his opinions on Automation Tax and Robot Tax at Davos a few years ago. Then there are people with other points of view worth discussing, such as nuances in the following video. The best thing to do is hold discussion, admit where information exists, that we need to learn and then return with a better framing on the issue.

Sometimes Dreams Don’t Deserve Waiting

Stephen Boyle blog, consciousness Elijah Cummings, fuzzytek, quote, video 0

I love this clip with recently passed Representative Elijah Cummings interview from January 2019 on 60 Minutes Overtime. It caught him reflecting in a critical time of his own life, having passed just 9 months later. His grandmother told him he should take action on his thoughts, lest they be buried with him without action taken.

Personally, I’ve said the following for a while:

“If you don’t share your dreams you’ll go to your grave with them firmly implanted in your skull and that’s where they’ll be buried and gone.” — Stephen Boyle

Rep. Cummings' grandmother: "Don't you wait"

Intersubjectivity in The Sound of Silence

Stephen Boyle blog, consciousness communication, Genius, Lyrics, society 0

Question asked on Genius: does the song explain intersubjectivity? how?

The first verse leads the listener to know the perspective is higher than personal, it is a social perspective reached. In this 3rd person perspective social conditions could be discussed, however people don’t break the silence. Such as a failure to hold conversations that matter – condemning those to the “wells of silence”. In the intersubjectivity we allow silence to destroy discussing changes needed in society. We allow a normalcy to silence. More

The Gospel According to Marianne Williamson by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

via The Gospel According to Marianne Williamson by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

When you consider taking the care and love she brings to those coming to her events… then spread that across the issues she has in her platform – she’s my favorite candidate. #Marianne2020
I listened through her book “A Politics Of Love“, on Audible. There’s a good reason to aim at the Presidency especially with the sycophant in charge now.

I can’t get solidly behind other candidates due to the normal tone of candidacy… it isn’t just change policy to address issues. There’s something broke in our collective society now. I believe she has better access to that deep rooted problem than any other candidate.

Williamson in her apartment in Des Moines, Iowa.

Rather than solving suffering one theater full of self-selecting audience members at a time, she could focus on alleviating suffering on a much larger scale. She was not concerned by the scoffings about her inexperience. Every time I heard her speak, she said: “I challenge the idea that only people whose careers have been entrenched for decades in the limitations of the mind-set that drove us into this ditch are the only ones we should consider qualified to take us out of the ditch.”

Discussing UBI and Corporate Automation

Stephen Boyle blog Automation Tax, Corporate Automation, Human Displacement, Marianne2020, politics, Universal Basic Income, Yang2020 0

Discussing Universal Basic Income and the US Economy – February 2019

As Yang says – “this is no longer speculative” – the facts are speaking that automation is destroying the livelihood of people in this country. I believe there needs to be an automation tax on corporate profits derived from displacement of human workers. That corporate tax can’t be whittled down with credits or write offs. It is to provide sustainable living for humans displaced. The taxes collected would be indexed on profits, and distributed in 2 manners…

Funding of the UBI Federal Fund
Funding of the Reparations Fund for the Descendants of Slavery in America

At the start of these funds corporations whom have literally traded slaves financially over time need to be identified.

I do enjoy hearing of a Williamson/Yang or Yang/Williamson Presidency and this discussion shows there’s no fear of holding like mind conversation.

I’ll post more on the #AutomationTax, #Reparations, and other topics.

Video Editing Sample

Stephen Boyle business, Review Cyberlink, graphics, PowerDirector, recipe, video, video editing, video production 0

I’ve been doing some graphics and video production through Android mobile platform via tablet & phone. There’s a suite of software from Cyberlink that has me pretty impressed. These are free, have both free and pay add-ons, and have a pro version as well. Their Easter sale at 70% off ended yesterday 😕

PhotoDirector – still images
ActionDirector – video editing
PowerDirector – video editing (once I saw this I uninstalled ActionDirector as it seems to have incorporated similar features)
PowerDirector (bundle) – not sure what’s in here more than PowerDirector, just saw it on Google Play.

PowerDirector does allow music tracks to be uploaded and used as backing audio over video. There are 3 audio channels – native with video, channel 1 & 2. That allows for backing audio to be crossfaded between tracks, or highlight audio to pop on top. You can control how much volume each channel gets in the result.

Sample Video

Apricot French Toast video made with PowerDirector, has a still image added from PhotoDirector with stickers, text, photo effects on it. The key image on this post is also from PhotoDirector.

I haven’t yet worked with the suite on my laptop but that’s likely to happen soon. Once you learn the interface from one package the others are fairly similar.

Track Review

Buy a copy through Bandcamp - I did!
