1/2 OT:
Everything thats wrong with this world:
Ibiza is long gone. Johann Gudenus is sitting in between the vines in a vineyard in Nussberg and is looking upon Vienna. He is wearing a babyblue mask covering mouth- and nose. The former FPÖ club chairman is now heavily active in the mask trade with russia and china. Businessideas are shooting through his head. Currently he is working on a gastronomy app. Yes and the man that featured everything in the past, that just was far enough right of center, now wants to plant trees en mass. The environmentalist in him was awakened. Contact with media outlets Gudenus tries to limit, he stays away from politics. Not even the fall of the viennese freedom party, which he formally lead to unexpected highs, with his fatherly friend from the fraternity days, Heinz-Christian Strache, the now 43 year old, former vice-mayor of Vienna, wants to comment on.

This is how the world looks for idiots:
- Run, move, fight - to becomes something in life
- Trust in fucking, horrible networks to get somewhere, then be loyal (to the ingroup, not to society at large - to a fault and beyond
).
- Reap opportunity whenever it shows
- Be a scalper - whenever possible. Hawk masks. They now are a rare commodity.
- Currently have ideas on 'what you could do with gastronomy', because thats a field that currently gets disrupted. Solve it with an app. Because you are an idiot and dont know what an app is, just that its popular.
- See that 'planting trees' is now something the billionaire class is heavily into - because they want to reduce the footprint of people in the west, as they see - that societies are failing without growth. All of a sudden be for planting trees, to f*ck over people. 'Cause there is money in it! If you sell it to others as a lifegoal.
- Blame it on media
- Show a selective memory
- Forget things that didnt work, start new.
All of this is not specific to the austrian far right, but the only thing that gets 'featured' as opportunity in the entire western society at the moment. When I was in Alpach in the past, it was exactly the same. prop up some "culture" traps for people that wont get anywhere in life as well - so they put themselves out of the game, without bothering the rest. Say, that you do it because you love european culture so much. Apart from that its exactly the same.
This in todays world is success.
And if you know that solving "everything with apps" has the big US tech firms that we arent even allowed to regulate anymore (or sanctions) cut in on every business by at least 30 percent - you have understood all of it.
F*cking Accenture and the Red Cross propped up an 'app solution' that didnt work in the first place. Where google had to jump in to even make it technically feasible. Which none of them told their heigher ups, they just produced a broken piece of crap, cashing millions in financing. In the end the broken piece of crap had to be rewritten to include all the Google and Apple backend code, that they couldnt think of using in the first place (they dont had access on that level (service framework)). Which google and apple writing the entire technical implementation (framework), and those f*cking idiots, having spent millions on another PR portal - that then got heavily featured by the media. That to them is success - they know f*ck all, that none of that means, that they will ever become the next Google or Apple - because those avenues are under wrap.
If I told you about the amount of former friends from where I grew up and went to school, that wanted to ask me about opportunities in the distributed ledger space, and the amount of people, that tried to fuck over others by only working as 'influencers' trying to sell their networks out in an attempt to 'be early and foot a trend', youd be more cynical than me, thats for sure..
And then in the end, it turns out that smartphone orientation, and the specific bluetooth module used have a factor of magnitude impact on directional signal strength - making the entire project pretty much unfeasible in the first place. Never mind an issue of false possitives and negatives and the implications on what this will have on society ("app passes") at large. To this day, you hear people in the economic and financial sector talking those concepts up, because they are so god darn fascinated with opportunity in stuff they dont understand, and that they would make worse - everytime they touch it.
But dont think bad of it, if people believe in crap, it will have a positive effect on society at large. (Stores can open sooner, ..)
This is systemic.
And if anyone has any idea on how to get over that, without just ignoring it, or becoming a deaf-mute (Salinger.
"Everybody'd think I was just a poor deaf-mute bastard and they'd leave me alone"), please give me a heads up. I think i could benefit from it very much.
