WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/hoffer-eric/24752/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from Eric Hoffer</a><blockquote>   The real “haves” are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities.    On the other hand, the real “have nots” are those who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.</blockquote>Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 115 (1955) Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/hoffer-eric/24752/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/hoffer-eric/24752/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#qotd</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=erichoffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#erichoffer</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=confidence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#confidence</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freedom</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=makers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#makers</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=poor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poor</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=potential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#potential</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=riches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#riches</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=selfreliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfreliance</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=takers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#takers</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wealth</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wealthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wealthy</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=zerosumgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zerosumgame</a>

C.<a href="https://mastodon.world/@HamonWry" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@HamonWry</a> Much of Trump's failure to display any understanding of economics can be seen as the logical consequence of him believing that trade, economics, "deals" are a zero-sum game. It explains many of his actions.For him to "win", the "other side" has to lose. There's no such thing as a transaction that both sides benefit from. So he hires a contractor, but then stiffs them on some or all of their invoices. etc, etc.I actually think that he believes *everything* is a zero-sum game, not just commerce. It's a very pouty-5-year-old way of looking at the world.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/pout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pout</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/DJT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DJT</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/deal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#deal</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/commerce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#commerce</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/transaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transaction</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ZeroSumGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZeroSumGame</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ZeroSum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZeroSum</a>

Aral Balkan“The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is not only validation of the movement towards decentralized social media, but a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services. This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come.”Famous last words.<a href="https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/</a><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#threads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/zeroSumGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zeroSumGame</a>
