I think my biggest frustration with the world is the lack of focus on Wikipedia style common ground. Humanity in total, the entire #PaleBlueDot world wide, should be trying to build a system of drill-down levels of detail on all important topics of life, survival, world peace, compassion, love, food safety, food supply, etc.

There are so many Tower of Babel / Tower of Religion conflicts that I think result from people not adopting a convention of going to a computer / smartphone and bring up refined, well organized, well presented ideas.

Every conversation this past 25 years, since Y2K, I feel like I am re-inventing the wheel. We are so focused on using language to our own personal style and fashion, that we have lost common understanding and ground. People across the world #PaleBlueDot do not watch the same films, sports, TV shows, read the same books, etc.

Wikipedia has places to translate every topic to every language in the world! Unicode abounds on Wikipedia.

Why are people not recognizing this need? Why can't I go to a free / advertising-free / donation paid / taxpayer paid - resource of common topics? Why can't I read about rice and apples throughout the world and ways to cook and prepare them, in any language? Why not read about bacteria in a well organized way, in any language? Why don't people want almost EVERYTHING to be in a common ground understanding.

It is as people have become so accustomed to the "Tower of Babel" metaphor problem / "Tower of Religions" that we are enshrining misunderstandings and errors in comprehension!

A photograph, a video, of rice might eliminate so much argument and conflict between people - instead of us all being so hyper-focused on our own individual writings / speech / language usage.

The for-profit / greed seeking incentives to keep information private and only have low-quality information to the "general public" I think plays a role in worsening the situaiton. Human conflicts, from marriages to nations at war, because we don't have a common set of well-refined well-organized understandings of our own planet / Earth / world.

Now there is a #WarAgainstReality to deliberately worsen this problem! #ActiveMeasures warfare to pollute and wreck understanding, to sew confusion. And with #ChatGPT and other #LargeLanguageModels doing their #AIHallucination - we are drowning in misunderstandings. We are in a constant "Tragedy of the Commons" in terms of communications / understanding / comprehension.

I think #RupertMurdoch #FoxNews thrives off generating alternate language and conflicts in common understandings. And i'm not the first to describe this in public.

I think by people world-wide not focusing on a common Wikipedia like system of common human comprehension and understanding, we have made life miserable. We have #SettledFor a shitty life these past 25 years. We have sold-short our future.

::::: “If all information is seen as part of a war, out go any dreams of a global information space where ideas flow freely, bolstering deliberative democracy. Instead, the best future one can hope for is an ‘information peace’, in which each side respects the other’s ‘information sovereignty’: a favoured concept of both Beijing and Moscow, and essentially a cover for enforcing censorship.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019 ::::

And, frankly, I think we could all FEEL GOOD about humanity to go to a common set of Wikipedia values systems where we can take #HumanPride that we have all contributed our own little part in shared knowledge and shared comprehension / understanding.

Autism Spectrum Disorder and the ever-shifting comprehension and understandings I get from reading 30 different books about autism from the past 20 years has bewildered me why people don't see these problems.
