The challenge for this month overall is to work with at least one hour worth of WordCamp video, which you can do by either creating subtitles or editing the video file in preparation for upload to <a href=\"http://WordPress.tv\">WordPress.tv</a>.</p>\n<p>One of the great things about contributing to the video team is that you get to learn so much, since all the work basically involves watching WordCamp presentation videos. Subtitling is a doubly important need, as it is needed to make all those WordCamp videos accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing and can&#8217;t listen to the audio track, as well as making it possible for the videos to be consumed (in some cases after subtitle translation) by people who speak different languages.</p>\n<p>The challenge will last from Saturday, February 27, 2016 through Sunday, February 28, 2016, and the results will be reviewed afterward by members of the video team.

That challenge had 73 participants, including 10 people who provided 20 or more correct answers to open support threads, thereby winning the challenge. Congratulations to Harris Anastasiadis, Ahmad Awais, Takis Bouyouris, Phil Erb, Eric Gunawan, Jackie McBride, Diana Nichols, Kostas Nicolacopoulos, Juhi Saxena, and Sarah Semark!

We emphasize that WordCamps are locally-organized events, not something that the central <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community\">community team</a> plans from afar.</p>\n<p>This has been successful in many areas &#8212; there are currently 241 meetup groups on our meetup.com chapter program! In some regions, though, enthusiastic volunteers have had more of a challenge getting things started. Because of this, we&#8217;re going to try an experiment this year called the WordCamp Incubator.</p>\n<p>The intention of the incubator program is to help spread WordPress to underserved areas through providing more significant organizing support for a first event. In practical terms, this experiment means we&#8217;ll be choosing three cities in 2016 where there is not an active WordPress community &#8212; but where it seems like there is a lot of potential and where there are some people excited to become organizers &#8212; and will help to organize their first WordCamp. These WordCamps will be small, one-day, one-track events geared toward the goal of generating interest and getting people involved in creating an ongoing local community.*</p>\n<p>So, where should we do these three events?  If you have always wanted a WordCamp in your city but haven&#8217;t been able to get a meetup group going, this is a great opportunity. We will be taking applications for the next week, then will get in touch with everyone who applied to discuss the possibilities. We will announce the  cities chosen by the end of March.</p>\n<p>To apply, <a href=\"http://wordpressdotorg.polldaddy.com/s/wordcamp-incubator-application\">fill in the application</a> by February 26, 2016.

A followup 4.0.2 release was pushed out today for users with the specific configuration that caused the fatal error.</p>\n<p>This is the third time in under two months that the Jetpack team has had to send out a followup update on the heels of a release to correct significant problems. Fortunately, the team worked quickly to get a fix out to sites with fatal errors.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/jetpack-ui-improvements.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/jetpack-ui-improvements.png?resize=286%2C300\" alt=\"jetpack-ui-improvements\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-53926\" /></a>The 4.0 milestone brings major UI improvements for on-boarding new users. In previous versions of the plugin, visiting the Jetpack settings page showed a big green button prompting users to connect to WordPress.com.</p>\n<p>This release introduces a full page explaining the benefits of Jetpack to encourage users to hook it up. It also displays a picture of the development and support team, an explanation of Photon, and the benefits of the Protect module.</p>\n<p>Version 4.0 also adds a new editor view for VideoPress that lets users edit the shortcode in the editor with a new modal options window. This makes it easy to wrangle VideoPress settings directly in the editor</p>\n<p>A few other notable enhancements in this release include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tighter WooCommerce Integration: Social sharing icons now appear on WooCommerce single product views</li>\n<li>Widget Visibility for Custom Post Type Archives: Show/hide widgets for CPT single or archive views</li>\n<li>Selective Refresh for Widgets: Widgets now update instantly with live previews in the customizer</li>\n<li>Updated schema.org Microdata for Breadcrumbs: Gives search engines a better understanding of a page&#8217;s position in the site hierarchy</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Jetpack 4.0 also adds performance enhancements for the Protect module and Contact Forms. The method it uses to clean the database of spam form submission records is now more efficient. Check out the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/changelog/\" target=\"_blank\">changelog</a> to see a full list of all the enhancements and fixes in this release. It should be safe to update your sites and clients&#8217; sites to 4.0.2 without any ill effects.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 21 Apr 2016 21:46:05 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:1;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:96:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 231 – An Inside Look at the Plugin Review Process with Mika Epstein\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"http://wptavern.com?p=53924&preview_id=53924\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:102:\"http://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-231-an-inside-look-at-the-plugin-review-process-with-mika-epstein\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2951:\"<p>In this episode of WordPress Weekly, <a href=\"https://discord.gg/0wOgTCREXzBiWNYG\">Marcus Couch</a> and I are joined by <a href=\"https://halfelf.org/\">Mika Epstein</a>.

We learn what the plugin review process is like and common security issues she discovers. I was shocked to learn that Epstein has experienced some of the worst in people from denying plugins into the directory.</p>\n<p>We discuss the idea of a WordPress notifications center and how it could help keep users aware of issues on their sites. Last but not least, she gives us a heads up on common issues that have been reported on the support forums since the release of WordPress 4.5.</p>\n<h2>Plugins Picked By Marcus:</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/ask-me-anything-anonymously/\">Ask Me Anything (Anonymously), </a>by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/arunbasillal/\">Arun Basil Lal</a> from India, enables users to easily add a page or widget using a shortcode where visitors can ask you questions anonymously and you can list them along with your answers.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-cleanup/\">Admin Cleanup, </a>by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/mgibbs189/\">Matt Gibbs </a>from Charlottesville, VA, lets you hide menu items (e.g. Tools) entirely, or move them into the WordPress Admin Bar.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/logic-shortcodes/\">Logic Shortcodes, </a>by <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/samueldiethelm/\">Samuel Diethelm</a> from Marbella, Spain, enables the use of [if] shortcodes to work with conditional logic based on post meta or taxonomy terms on posts and pages.

Fastline Media, the parent company, started as a web design agency, but due to the success of their product the team closed down its client services department at the beginning of 2016 to focus 100% on Beaver Builder. After just two years in business, the plugin has passed $1 million in revenue.</p>\n<p>Beaver Builder hired its first employee in April, 2015, a year after launching. It now employees four people full-time and a few part-time contractors in addition to its three founders. The plugin recently passed 100,000 active installations between the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/beaver-builder-lite-version/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress.org</a> and commercial versions.</p>\n<p>As part of their two year milestone post, the team also announced that it acquired the beaverbuilder.com domain name, which set them back $2,300, according to co-founder Robby McCullough.</p>\n<p>&#8220;There was a really good salesman for the holding company that we bought it through,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;He convinced me it was a steal. Considering it probably cost ~$10 originally, though, it was a bit of a sting.&#8221;</p>\n<p>McCullough said that he and his co-founders see Beaver Builder, and other WordPress website builders, as being a bridge between WordPress and its mainstream market competitors like Wix and Weebly.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This idea came up during Jeff King&#8217;s presentation at Pressnomics, as more and more traditional &#8216;jobs&#8217; become automated and obsolete (think driverless cars/trucks on the horizon),&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;More and more people will be forced to start small businesses and create their own opportunities. Along with democratizing publishing, we think WordPress (and the web in general) — hopefully with the help of Beaver Builder — has the opportunity to &#8216;democratize the workforce.\'&#8221;</p>\n<p>With the $1 million milestone under their belts, McCullough said the Beaver Builder co-founders plan to keep putting food on the table and taking care of customers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve made it this far by providing great support and embracing customer feedback,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;We might be in the driver seat, but our customers are the ones laying the track.&#8221;</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 21 Apr 2016 18:03:37 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:3;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"WP Mobile Apps: WordPress for iOS: Call for beta testers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"http://apps.wordpress.com/?p=3397\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"https://apps.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/wordpress-for-ios-call-for-beta-testers/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:769:\"<p>Hello, WordPress users!

After over a month in ICU he had just been transferred to long-term acute care in a different hospital and we were looking forward to a tough but steady road to being back home when he took an unexpected and sudden turn. I&#8217;ve started and stopped writing this dozens of times since then and words continue to fail me.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rememberance that ran in the paper a few days ago:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/W01521910pdfpreview.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46424 size-medium\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/W01521910pdfpreview.png?resize=604%2C296\" alt=\"\" /></a></p>\n<p><img class=\"  wp-image-46500 alignright\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/IMG_6024.jpg?resize=262%2C333&ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_6024.JPG\" />It is impossible to overstate the influence my father has had on every part of my life: Why did I play saxophone? Dad did. Computers and programming? Dad did. Travel? He was frequently stationed overseas and even when we didn&#8217;t visit he would always bring back a cool gift for myself and my sister. He drove me to the HAL-PC office (local non-profit) every weekend where I&#8217;d learn so much fixing people&#8217;s broken computers and being exposed to open source for the first time. His O&#8217;Reilly &#8220;camel book&#8221; on Perl was the first scripting I learned, and he pointed me toward Mastering Regular Expressions which became the basis of <a href=\"https://ma.tt/2002/09/smart-quotes-in-php/\">my first contribution to b2, texturize</a>.</p>\n<p>We were in a father / son bowling league. I remember admiring his work ethic so much: he&#8217;d get up before dawn every morning and put on a suit, grab his briefcase, and go to work. He often went in on weekends and I loved to go with him because they had &#8220;fast&#8221; internet at the office and I could read Dilbert and about Babylon 5. He was a voracious reader and learner, and loved tinkering whether it was cars or networking. In the other room I can hear a bitcoin mining rig he set up a few years ago. He was independent minded and unafraid to question the status quo.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46504\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/IMG_4385.jpg?resize=351%2C263&ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_4385.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a photo somewhere of my dad mowing the lawn and me following behind him with a toy lawnmower, which is a perfect metaphor for how I&#8217;ve always followed in his footsteps.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46511\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/MCM_5113.jpg?resize=604%2C238&ssl=1\" alt=\"MCM_5113.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I&#8217;m at a loss.</p>\n<p>Parents are there literally the day you&#8217;re born, and it&#8217;s hard to imagine a life without them. Most people reading this will outlive their parents, and deal with their mortality and often difficult and painful final days as those who brought us into this world exit it. I&#8217;ve been reading and reading all the writing I can find on this topic, but nothing really prepares you for it, and nothing makes it better to go through. It&#8217;s terrible.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46508\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/MCM_7807.jpg?resize=604%2C402&ssl=1\" alt=\"MCM_7807.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>He wasn&#8217;t someone to tell you what the right way to live was, in fact he was incredibly open minded. He didn&#8217;t tell you, he showed you how he lived his life from a place of integrity and trust, how he was in his relationship with my mom, how he was in business. He wasn&#8217;t flashy and seldom talked about his accomplishments or all the people he had helped out along the way. Many of the stories of appreciation coming in I&#8217;m hearing for the first time. In getting his books and taxes together this past week I was humbled by how simply he lived this season of his life, not into material things but cherishing relationships and his quiet life in the suburbs with my mother.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46499\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/IMG_20151225_160835-1.jpg?resize=604%2C452&ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_20151225_160835 (1).jpg\" /></p>\n<p>My biggest blessing has been my family. Every one is the most supportive you can imagine. So inspiring&#8230; much of what I&#8217;ve done in the world was in the context of making my parents proud, and their relationship to each other and the amazing man my dad was has set a bar I hope to approach in my lifetime. The last few years he got much better about showing his pride in my sister and I, and even more importantly saying &#8220;I love you,&#8221; the three words that are among the best gift we can give each other. Don&#8217;t forget to use them, even if it feels cheesy or embarrassing, and for those of you with parents still around please give them some <a href=\"http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html\">extra time</a> and a hug for me. This was unexpected, we really believed he was on an upward trajectory. You never know when the words you share with someone might be the last.</p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46506\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/ma.tt/files/2016/04/MCM_5139.jpg?resize=604%2C402&ssl=1\" alt=\"MCM_5139.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>I made a page <a href=\"http://ma.tt/chuck/\">you can see his official obituary, information about his memorial service in Katy, and leave any memories you have of him at ma.tt/chuck</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 21 Apr 2016 06:58:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4:\"Matt\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:62:\"WPTavern: A Tip for Convincing Customers to Renew License Keys\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53881\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"http://wptavern.com/a-tip-for-convincing-customers-to-renew-license-keys\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3583:\"<p>Mika Epstein, who helps review plugins before they&#8217;re added to the directory and is a dedicated support forum volunteer, <a href=\"https://halfelf.org/2016/despair-licensed-updates/\">has a great post</a> on the difficulties associated with plugins that require license keys for updates. She addresses topics like keeping users informed, ownership, and bundling plugins with themes. She also suggests the following solution to get users with an expired license key to renew.</p>\n<blockquote><p>What if the updater kept checking, license expired or not, and when you clicked to upgrade it alerted you?</p>\n<p>Your license for Foobar has expired. Please renew it in order to upgrade.</p>\n<p>What if you got this email?</p>\n<p>Hey, you bought Foobar back in 2014 and that license lapsed. Normally I’d never bother you, but today I’ve pushed a major security fix. Since this is a security release, I’m offering you a discount. It’s already applied to your account, just log in and you can buy the upgrade at 50% off. If you’re not using Foobar anymore, click here and I’ll have your account flagged so we don’t bother you about this again.</p>\n<p>How happy would you be to find out someone saved your soy bacon?</p></blockquote>\n<p>Based <a href=\"https://halfelf.org/2016/despair-licensed-updates/#comment-75676\">on the comments</a> of her article and from what Epstein has experienced from years of providing WordPress support, it&#8217;s a complex problem without a solution. The perils of updating commercial plugins bundled with themes that require a license key were apparent two years ago when a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised\">critical security vulnerability was discovered</a> in Revolution Slider.</p>\n<p>Had the news not been published across media outlets, many users may not have known about the update. In some cases, users couldn&#8217;t update because they didn&#8217;t have the required license key, <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised#comment-58566\">as was the case with Brenda</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The slider plugin was bundled in a theme that a PREVIOUS web developer installed for one of my clients. As such, I do not have the theme license key. There is NO WAY that I would ever have known about this extreme vulnerability had Sucuri not released it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Some companies make security updates available to all customers regardless if their license is expired. For example, earlier this year, a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-discovered-in-elegant-themes-products\">critical security vulnerability was discovered</a> in Elegant Themes products. Due to the severity of the issue, the company made the updates available for free to expired accounts. The updates contained only the security fix without any of the new features developed in recent versions.</p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a delicate balance between pushing customers to upgrade, renew license keys, and making it easy to do so. As Epstein says in the conclusion of her post, &#8220;If you make it easy to pay, people will renew and pay. If you inform them of security issues, they will pay and upgrade.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a commercial plugin developer, how do you inform and convince customers to renew their license keys? Also, how do you handle security updates for customers with expired licenses?</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 20 Apr 2016 22:49:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:79:\"WPTavern: WP Dispensary Offers a Complete Marijuana Menu Solution for WordPress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53859\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:89:\"http://wptavern.com/wp-dispensary-offers-a-complete-marijuana-menu-solution-for-wordpress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4972:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/blueberry-kush.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/blueberry-kush.jpg?resize=1000%2C605\" alt=\"photo credit: Blueberry Kush, Indica-3 - (license)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53861\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/57298467@N03/5500914557\">Blueberry Kush, Indica-3</a> &#8211; <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>With <a href=\"http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000881\" target=\"_blank\">24 states</a> having enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana, the industry is booming and dispensaries need websites. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dispensary/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Dispensary</a>, released five months ago, is the first WordPress plugin to target this underserved market.</p>\n<p>After creating <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/leafly-reviews/\" target=\"_blank\">Leafly Reviews</a>, a plugin that displays dispensary reviews from Leafly using a widget or shortcode, <a href=\"http://www.robertdevore.com\" target=\"_blank\">Robert DeVore</a> decided he wanted to make more solutions to help dispensary owners build professional websites. <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dispensary/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Dispensary</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/dispensary-coupons/\" target=\"_blank\">Dispensary Coupons</a> soon followed on WordPress.org.</p>\n<p>Many marijuana dispensaries post their product menus on a board, printed on paper, or displayed on a tablet. The WP Dispensary plugin makes it easy to enter products, with all their relevant details, into a menu for display on a WordPress-powered website. This makes it easy for the dispensary owner to create, edit, and maintain a master list of products, which can also be displayed in the store.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wpd-menu-update-1.4.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wpd-menu-update-1.4.jpg?resize=160%2C174\" alt=\"wpd-menu-update-1.4\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-53872\" /></a>The plugin creates custom post types for flowers, edibles, concentrates, pre-rolls, and topicals. It also includes custom taxonomies for aromas, flavors, effects, symptoms, and conditions. This allows visitors to easily sort available products.</p>\n<p>Entering a new menu item is as easy as writing a post, so dispensary owners will have no problem keeping their menus updated:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/add-flower.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/add-flower.png?resize=1025%2C489\" alt=\"add-flower\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53885\" /></a></p>\n<p>Dispensary owners can also enter product prices for flowers and concentrates based on weight, from 1/2 gram to an ounce. Edibles and pre-rolls allow you to enter the THC and CBD percentages.</p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s <a href=\"http://www.wpdispensary.com/wp-dispensary-version-1-4/\" target=\"_blank\">version 1.4 release</a>, in honor of the 4/20 holiday, adds topicals to the existing custom post types, with extra product information options for unit price, unit size, and THC mg and CBD mg.</p>\n<p>When used in combination with DeVore&#8217;s free <a href=\"https://github.com/deviodigital/dispensary-display-wordpress-theme\" target=\"_blank\">Dispensary Display</a> theme, products are displayed beautifully on the frontend with images for each menu item. After updating it to be compatible with the 1.4 release, DeVore plans to get the theme ready for submission to the official WordPress theme directory.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dispensary-items.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dispensary-items.png?resize=887%2C524\" alt=\"dispensary-items\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-53878\" /></a></p>\n<p>WP Dispensary is also fully integrated with the WP REST API so developers can pull data from the custom post types and display it with JavaScript in a website or app. This currently requires the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/\" target=\"_blank\">REST API plugin version 2</a> until the API is officially merged into core.</p>\n<p>WP Dispensary is 100% open source and available for anyone to <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dispensary/\" target=\"_blank\">download for free from WordPress.org</a>. Full <a href=\"http://www.wpdispensary.com/documentation/\" target=\"_blank\">documentation</a> is available for the plugin on the WP Dispensary project website, which includes instructions for setting it up, information on add-ons, and additional plugin suggestions.

In one of the more extreme examples I discovered, earlier this year, <a href=\"https://reduxframework.com/e\">Redux Framework</a> added an admin notice that informed users of a new <a href=\"https://reduxframework.com/extension/ad-remover/\">commercial extension</a>.</p>\n<p>When users questioned <a href=\"https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/issues/2801\">how to remove the notices</a>, Redux Framework developers responded by creating a commercial extension.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ReduxFrameworkAdNotice.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53826\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ReduxFrameworkAdNotice.png?resize=1025%2C47\" alt=\"Redux Framework Admin Notice\" /></a>Redux Framework Admin Notice\n<p>For $59 a year, the extension removes admin notices, ads from the options panel, and the dashboard news widget. Even though the notices and ads are only displayed when the framework&#8217;s dev mode is enabled, it seems like a ridiculous way to generate revenue.</p>\n<p>While researching for this article, I discovered that Dovy Paukstys, Co-Founder and lead developer of Redux Framework, is in the process of removing advertising from current and future admin notices. Paukstys provided the Tavern with the following statement:</p>\n<blockquote><p>As a fellow developer, I can see how frustrating an admin notice can be when used as an ad. To support the requests of the community, we will no longer use admin notices to advertise premium features. We will use admin notices for their intended purpose, to inform and educate our users.</p>\n<p>We hope that other frameworks, plugins, and products will follow suit.</p></blockquote>\n<h2>WP Notification Center</h2>\n<p>Inspired by our article, WPBeginner looks into whether or not <a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/does-wordpress-need-a-notification-center-we-think-so-how-about-you/\">WordPress needs a notification center</a>. As it turns out, there are a couple of different plugins and projects in the works aiming to solve this problem.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-notification-center/\">WP Notification Center</a> plugin, developed by Barry Kooij and Never5, adds a <a href=\"http://www.barrykooij.com/wordpress-notification-manager/\">notification center</a> to WordPress. This plugin moves admin notices to a central location freeing up valuable screen real-estate.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WPNotificationCenter.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53828\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WPNotificationCenter.png?resize=638%2C155\" alt=\"WP Notification Center\" /></a>WP Notification Center\n<p>When activated, a notifications area is added to the admin bar. This tells you the number of notices available and provides quick viewing access. The messages are also color coded to easily tell the difference between update and error messages.</p>\n<p>Links within the notice take you to the corresponding admin page to view more details. Unfortunately, you can&#8217;t dismiss notices from the admin toolbar without navigating to the links within them. According to Kooij, dismissing notices is a difficult problem to fix.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The admin notices are added in code so I can&#8217;t stop them from being added. That means I would need to store what notices are dismissed and check all added notices on every admin page load to filter out the ones that are dismissed.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the other way around from an ideal situation, where a notice would be added to the database and I can simply remove it when it&#8217;s dismissed.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As for the possibility of getting WP Notification Center into core, &#8220;I would love to write a patch for core that would set this up the right way,&#8221; Kooij said. &#8220;That would eventually involve deprecating and stop displaying notifications that are being added the old way.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in tackling this problem or would like to contribute to other facets of the project, you can find it <a href=\"https://github.com/barrykooij/wp-notification-center\">on GitHub</a> where issues and pull requests are welcomed.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Notifications API</h2>\n<p>During the WordPress Core developer chat <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/01/13/core-dev-chat-notes-for-jan-13/\">back in January</a>, John Blackbourn proposed a Notifications API that would replace <code>wp_mail()</code> with an extensible API. The API could be hooked into by developers to send notifications via webhooks that would enable Slack and IM notifications. There would also be UI added so users and admins can choose which individual notifications and types to opt-in/out of.</p>\n<p>The API is not directly relevant to admin notices but it&#8217;s possible they could be connected in the future. Blackbourn plans to publish a detailed blog post outlining the idea in-depth within the next week or two.</p>\n<h2>Jetpack Notifications</h2>\n<p>Jetpack handles notifications via a module that adds an icon to the toolbar. Notifications include, Likes, Comments, Follows, and the ability to moderate and reply to comments.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/JetpackNotifications.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53846\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/JetpackNotifications.png?resize=406%2C422\" alt=\"Jetpack Notifications\" /></a>Jetpack Notifications\n<p>I use this notifications area all the time to moderate and respond to comments. It&#8217;s convenient and usually loads items quickly. However, I&#8217;m not sure how well the interface would work if admin notices from themes and plugins were added.</p>\n<h2>Subscribers Can Possibly See Admin Notices</h2>\n<p>One of the most surprising <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/please-stop-abusing-wordpress-admin-notices#comment-165057\">things I&#8217;ve learned</a> is that users who are subscribers can <em>possibly</em> see admin notices. On the surface, this doesn&#8217;t make sense as subscribers don&#8217;t have the capabilities necessary to act on notices. I tested this theory on the WP Tavern test site by activating both Yoast SEO and the All in One SEO plugin.</p>\n<p>This is what I see while logged in as an admin.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesSEO.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53847\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesSEO.png?resize=1025%2C293\" alt=\"Admin Notices While Logged in as Admin\" /></a>Admin Notices While Logged in as Admin\n<p>This is the same dashboard while logged in as a subscriber.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesWhileASubscriber.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53848\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AdminNoticesWhileASubscriber.png?resize=1025%2C380\" alt=\"Admin Notices While Logged in as A Subscriber\" /></a>Admin Notices While Logged in as A Subscriber\n<p>As you can see, the notices disappear when logged in as a subscriber. While I initially thought this was an issue in core, it appears to be more of a developer issue. JS Morisset, who <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/please-stop-abusing-wordpress-admin-notices#comment-165464\">commented on the original article</a> has a possible explanation:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The word &#8216;admin&#8217; (for notices) could be interpreted in two ways — either they’re admin / back-end notices, or they’re administrator notices.</p>\n<p>I’ve always understood that they are the former (notices displayed on the admin back-end), and can be seen by any / all back-end users, so I use &#8216;current_user_can()&#8217; in my own code to display different kinds of messages. Maybe this is more of a developer awareness issue than a core WP issue.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While I have not analyzed the code in the plugins I tested, the <a href=\"https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/current_user_can/\">current_user_can()</a> capability check would explain why admins see notices while subscribers do not.</p>\n<h2>What I&#8217;d Like to See in a Centralized WordPress Notifications Center</h2>\n<p>Admin notices are a great way for developers to inform users of important information. But with all the notices bombarding site administrators these days, there&#8217;s a need for an organizational user interface to manage them all. When considering the types of notifications to allow and display, a notification center in WordPress can easily turn into a deep rabbit hole.</p>\n<p>What I&#8217;d like to see is a notification center that notifies me of core, plugin, and theme updates in addition to whatever notices those items generate. I also want it to tell me about errors on the site. These notifications should be in an easy-to-use interface that&#8217;s quick to access. Notifications should be dismissable or have a status where they can be marked as read.</p>\n<p>As seen above, there are plenty of people and projects working on solutions to this problem. What would be your ideal WordPress notifications center?</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 20 Apr 2016 02:11:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:107:\"WPTavern: Developers Urge White House to Consider “Open by Default” for New Open Source Software Policy\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53787\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:111:\"http://wptavern.com/developers-urge-white-house-to-consider-open-by-default-for-new-open-source-software-policy\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7190:\"<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/white-house.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/white-house.jpg?resize=1024%2C520\" alt=\"photo credit: The White House Washington DC - (license)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52474\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/71380981@N06/19902559769\">The White House Washington DC</a> &#8211; <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/\">(license)</a>\n<p>Last month the White House <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/white-house-seeks-feedback-on-github-for-government-wide-open-source-software-policy\" target=\"_blank\">called for developers to comment on its proposed draft</a> for a Government-wide Open Source Software policy. The new policy would require code paid for by the government to be made available for reuse across other federal agencies and a portion (20%) of the custom code would be released as open source.</p>\n<p>The period for public comment officially ended yesterday and now the <a href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/\" target=\"_blank\">White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)</a> will analyze the feedback on GitHub to refine the final policy.</p>\n<h3>CIO of the Department of Homeland Security Affirms Benefits of Open Source for Cybersecurity</h3>\n<p>Yesterday, Luke McCormack, the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Homeland Security, offered <a href=\"https://github.com/whitehouse/source-code-policy/issues/222\" target=\"_blank\">formal comments on GitHub</a>, affirming the benefits of open source, especially in regard to cybersecurity:</p>\n<blockquote><p>When managed appropriately, releasing code as OSS and engaging with the community can have extensive cybersecurity benefits. Security through obscurity is not true security: we cannot depend on vulnerabilities not being exploited just because they have not been discovered yet. There are many examples of widely-used pieces of software that benefit greatly from constant and vigorous community reviews and contributions to find bugs, and thus making them more secure. We look forward to government systems joining them.</p></blockquote>\n<p>McCormack&#8217;s clarification of the department&#8217;s official position combats the common misconception that open source code is inherently insecure. The comment also affirms the department&#8217;s support for working with the open source community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Participation in the open source community will further strengthen our systems and help fulfill the mission of the Department,&#8221; McCormack said. &#8220;Likewise, we believe in the potential of this policy to incentivize innovation and enable a new generation of companies to do business with the Government.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Developers Push for an &#8220;Open by Default&#8221; Policy</h3>\n<p>The proposed policy encourages federal agencies to work together to make reusable modules and to build active communities around the open source code they release. It is a better use of American tax dollars, but there is also a significant contingency of developers who believe the policy doesn&#8217;t go far enough with its arbitrary 20% requirement.</p>\n<p>In an issue titled &#8220;<a href=\"https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/issues/90\" target=\"_blank\">Software should be &#8220;Open by default&#8221; not 20%</a>,&#8221; the Presidential Innovation Fellows Foundation (PIFF) shared the following statement summarizing the general consensus of its 120 members:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The PIF Foundation membership strongly believes that it is in the best interest of increased government efficiency and taxpayer savings for the OMB to set a policy of &#8216;open by default&#8217; for custom software developed by the Federal Government rather than setting a goal of at least 20% OSS as originally proposed in the source code policy.</p></blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http://ben.balter.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Balter</a>, open source advocate and product manager at GitHub, <a href=\"https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/issues/90#issuecomment-207820011\" target=\"_blank\">expanded</a> on why the PIFF believes that taxpayer-funded government code should be open by default. Balter penned an <a href=\"https://fcw.com/articles/2016/04/11/balter-open-source-opinion.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">op-ed for FCW</a> about how the proposed open source policy, with its 20% requirement, is a missed opportunity to modernize government. He contends that the proposed three-year pilot program will not likely produce results beyond what is already known, as open source has already undergone a two-decade pilot. By 2019, the push for &#8216;open by default&#8217; will be long overdue:</p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s no secret that government agencies lag behind the private sector with regard to technology, and the proposed source code policy hesitantly testing the waters of open source is no exception. Open source software isn&#8217;t a potential fad to be cautiously evaluated as part of a three-year pilot program, nor are the benefits unknown or unproven in large enterprises. Open source is simply how industry builds software today. You&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find a startup worth its venture capital funding that isn&#8217;t based, at least in part, on open source software. The same holds true of most industry leaders, already embracing open source as a core part of their business strategy, including Microsoft, Apple, Google, IBM, SAP and Adobe to name a few.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Mozilla representatives also <a href=\"https://github.com/WhiteHouse/source-code-policy/issues/159\" target=\"_blank\">commented on the issue</a> to affirm its support for “open by default” and clear international licensing. The company identified four key reasons for shooting for 100% rather than mandating a minimum requirement:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open source by default is consistent with the principle that the public should receive maximal benefit from the expenditure of their tax dollars.</li>\n<li>Software produced in the open will be of high quality and will help promote the public’s trust due to the extra scrutiny it can receive and the potential contribution of external interested parties.</li>\n<li>The additional burden of opening source code to the public should not be great if the software already has to be prepared for sharing within the Federal government.</li>\n<li>The burden of tracking, assessing and reporting on percentages is removed, as is the problem of deciding how to make the measurements in the first place.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Mozilla and many others commenting on the issue are urging the White House to reject the notion of an arbitrary 20% target and instead aim for open source from the outset, removing sensitive parts of the code base as necessary.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how much weight this particular issue will hold in the creation of the final policy, but the opportunity for industry experts to comment on and contribute to the process is already a major step forward. The policy is still in draft status and we will publish an update once the OMB has finalized its decision.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 19 Apr 2016 22:35:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"WPTavern: Linus Torvalds Explains How Open Source Led to the Success of Linux\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53795\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:87:\"http://wptavern.com/linus-torvalds-explains-how-open-source-led-to-the-success-of-linux\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4722:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TED-linus-torvalds-interview.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/TED-linus-torvalds-interview.png?resize=1025%2C570\" alt=\"TED-linus-torvalds-interview\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53797\" /></a></p>\n<p>In a rare and deeply personal <a href=\"http://www.ted.com/talks/linus_torvalds_the_mind_behind_linux\" target=\"_blank\">interview</a> with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Linus Torvalds spoke about how open source made his projects what they are today. Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel and the Git version control system, revealed that he prefers to work alone, in his bathrobe, in total silence. Although he heads up one of the largest open source projects in the world, with 1,000 contributors involved in every bimonthly release, Torvalds claims he is not a people person.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I did not start Linux as a collaborative project,&#8221; Torvalds said. &#8220;I started it as one in a series of many projects I had done at the time for myself, partly because I needed the end result, but even more because I just enjoyed programming.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Torvalds said that open source wasn&#8217;t really on his radar at all. As Linux grew, it became something he wanted to show off to people and he made it publicly available. It wasn&#8217;t even open source at that point, which was mainly called &#8220;free software&#8221; back then. He had no intention of using open source to improve his project. He simply invited comments on his project and, to his amazement, people took interest in the code and started contributing ideas.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Every project before that had been completely personal, and it was a revelation when people just started commenting, started giving feedback on your code,&#8221; Torvalds said.</p>\n<p>As the Linux project grew, thousands of people wanted to contribute. Torvalds said that it reached a breaking point where he knew he couldn&#8217;t scale it to work with that many people without having some kind of version control system in place.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So git is my second project, which was only created for me to maintain my first project,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And this is literally how I work. I do code for fun, but I want to code for something meaningful. Every single project that I&#8217;ve ever done has been for something I needed.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Ironically, for someone who professes not to be a people person, Torvalds revolutionized collaborative development for teams and projects with Git. He said that he has often been in conflict with other people and can be &#8220;myopic when it comes to other people&#8217;s feelings.&#8221; Open source gave him a way to work effectively with other people:</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the things I really like about open source is it allows different people to work together. We don&#8217;t have to like each other, and sometimes we really don&#8217;t like each other. There are very, very heated arguments. You don&#8217;t even agree to disagree &#8211; it&#8217;s just that you&#8217;re interested in different things. </p>\n<p>Coming back to the point that I said earlier, that I was afraid of commercial people taking advantage of your work &#8211; It very quickly turned out that those commercial people were lovely people. And they did all the things that I was not at all interested in doing and they had completely different goals. And they used open source in ways that I just did not want to go. But because it was open source they could do it and it actually works really beautifully together.</p></blockquote>\n<p>One of the most interesting things about his story is that he first embraced open source out of practicality, not because of ideological convictions.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Without doing the whole open-source-and-really-letting-go thing, Linux would never have been what it is,&#8221; Torvalds said. Even so, he said he doesn&#8217;t necessarily think the principle can be applied to other aspects of life beyond code without a lot of grey areas.</p>\n<p>Despite having changed the future by creating technology that powers the internet, Torvalds does not consider himself a visionary.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not a visionary,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I do not have a five year plan. I&#8217;m an engineer. I&#8217;m perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around staring at the clouds and looking at the stars and saying, &#8216;I want to go there.&#8217; But I&#8217;m looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole that&#8217;s right in front of me before I fall in.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Check out the 21-minute interview in the video below:</p>\n<p></p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 19 Apr 2016 05:05:16 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:10;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:90:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.6 Development Kicks Off This Week, Dominik Schilling to Lead Release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53759\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:99:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-6-development-kicks-off-this-week-dominik-schilling-to-lead-release\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4254:\"<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sharpened-pencil.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sharpened-pencil.jpg?resize=960%2C511\" alt=\"photo credit: Angelina Litvin\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53775\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"https://stocksnap.io/photo/JLXDNN5BNE\">Angelina Litvin</a>\n<p>As soon as WordPress 4.5 was out the door, WordPress 4.6 release lead Dominik Schilling opened up the floor for <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/04/14/wordpress-4-6-whats-on-your-wish-list/\" target=\"_blank\">discussion on wish list items</a> ahead of the kickoff chat on Wednesday.

As a <a href=\"https://letsencrypt.org/sponsors/\" target=\"_blank\">sponsor of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative</a>, Sucuri joins <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-partners-with-lets-encrypt-to-enable-https-on-all-wordpress-com-websites\" target=\"_blank\">Automattic</a> as one of the first companies to fully automate free SSL Certificates for all customers. The company has also enabled the new HTTP/2 protocol by default, which offers significant performance advantages compared to raw HTTPS.</p>\n<p>Unlike WordPress.com, which <a href=\"https://en.support.wordpress.com/https/\" target=\"_blank\">does not allow users to disable encryption</a>, Sucuri offers a &#8220;No HTTPS&#8221; option which will force all traffic to be redirected to HTTP. Customers can also select from partial SSL, full SSL, and Custom SSL (where they can use their own certificates).</p>\n<p>Despite their sponsorship of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative, Sucuri&#8217;s founders emphasized that SSL support is not a magic wand that instantly makes your website secure, since it only protects information transferred between the browser and web server.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Even though we are providing SSL certificates to all our clients, we don’t subscribe to the idea that every website needs HTTPS enabled,&#8221; Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said. &#8220;The idea that this makes for a more secure web is inaccurate.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Cid and co-founder Tony Perez share a perspective tempered by years of experience fixing hacked websites. The majority of compromises come through brute force attacks, software vulnerabilities, and DDOS attacks.</p>\n<p>In a post titled <a href=\"https://perezbox.com/2015/07/https-does-not-secure-your-website/\" target=\"_blank\">HTTPS Does Not Secure Your Website</a>, Sucuri CEO Tony Perez identified three general instances where SSL is essential: when transferring personal identifiable information, transaction data in e-commerce, and other sensitive data. Outside of these scenarios, HTTPS is not as critical.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no doubt that HTTPS will continue to grow in popularity,&#8221; Perez said. &#8220;What I take exception to is when technology professionals say that one of the driving factors for HTTPS is it’ll secure your website, because it won’t.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Sucuri only recommends HTTPS for customers who are already taking security seriously and want to add protection for data in transit. The company suggests putting more basic security measures in place first &#8211; keeping your software updated, implementing intrusion detection, getting code reviews, and storing passwords securely.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 18 Apr 2016 04:21:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:12;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"Post Status: WordPress 4.5 — Draft Podcast\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=23435\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"https://poststatus.com/wordpress-4-5-draft-podcast/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2221:\"<p>Welcome to the Post Status <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/category/draft\">Draft podcast</a>, which you can find <a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/post-status-draft-wordpress/id976403008\">on iTunes</a>, <a href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/krogsgard/post-status-draft-wordpress-podcast\">Stitcher</a>, and <a href=\"http://simplecast.fm/podcasts/1061/rss\">via RSS</a> for your favorite podcatcher.

The plugin has more than a million active installations and is critical for migrations, unless you are familiar with using more advanced tools. With years of unresolved support threads identifying the plugin&#8217;s many bugs, the importer is in need of some help.</p>\n<p>In a volunteer-driven open source community, important projects like the WordPress importer can go neglected for a long time until someone gets inspired to take on the responsibility. The good news, however, is that the importer is in the process of being completely rewritten thanks to Ryan McCue, who is also a leader on the WP REST API project.</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Importer Redux</a> project is available on GitHub with fixes for some of the previous plugin&#8217;s most troublesome issues. McCue is rewriting the importer with the goals of making it &#8220;fast, lightweight, and consistent.&#8221; He summarized the major improvements that are part of version 2 in a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/\" target=\"_blank\">post</a> on Make/WordPress core blog:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Way less memory usage:</strong> Testing shows memory usage to import a 41MB WXR file is down from 132MB to 19MB (less than half the actual file size!). This means no more splitting files just to get them to import.</li>\n<li><strong>Faster parser:</strong> By using a streaming XML parser, we process data as we go, which is much more scalable than the current approach. Content can begin being imported as soon as the file is read, rather than waiting for pre-processing.</li>\n<li><strong>Resumable parsing:</strong> By storing more in the database instead of variables, we can quit and resume imports on-the-go.</li>\n<li><strong>Partial imports:</strong> Rethinking the deduplication approach allows better partial imports, such as when you’re updating a production site from staging.\n</li>\n<li><strong>Better CLI:</strong> Treating the CLI as a first-class citizen means a better experience for those doing imports on a daily basis, and better code quality and reusability.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Until recently, the new importer had no UI, so the only way to test it was to run it via WP-CLI. A new <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/tree/admin-ui\" target=\"_blank\">Admin UI branch</a> of the project is now available so you can <a href=\"https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/archive/master.zip\" target=\"_blank\">download the plugin as a zip</a> and activate it inside WordPress.

Users voiced their frustration and concerns on the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-analytics-for-wordpress\">plugin&#8217;s support forum</a>. Some users thought <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14\">their sites were hacked</a> after noticing the menu label changed and seeing a bright green menu icon.</p>\n<p>Syed Balkhi, founder of WPBeginner.com, along with Chris Christoff, lead developer of the MonsterInsights plugin, immediately responded to criticism in the forums. One of the biggest complaints from users was the lack of communication that the plugin changed hands.</p>\n<p>Christoff admits that the plugin&#8217;s changelog should have included information about the switch.</p>\n<blockquote><p>I thought I had included information about the acquisition in the changelog, but I apparently didn&#8217;t. That&#8217;s totally on me, and I can certainly understand why people might be a bit upset over that.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Complaints about the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14#post-8277576\">bright menu icon</a> were addressed with a recent update that lowers its opacity to be more in line with other icons. Even though the bright green is gone, the icon is still noticeable. Here&#8217;s what it looks like.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NewMonsterInsightsPluginIcon.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53708\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NewMonsterInsightsPluginIcon.png?resize=149%2C240\" alt=\"New MonsterInsights Menu Icon\" /></a>New MonsterInsights Menu Icon\n<p>The menu label was also renamed from MonsterInsights to Insights. Not only is it shorter, it&#8217;s more in line with the plugin&#8217;s functionality. Its placement within the admin menu was also fixed as it no longer shows up near the top of the list.</p>\n<p>Another concern brought up by users are the four display ads on the plugin&#8217;s dashboard page. While some users thought these were new, they&#8217;ve always existed in the free plugin. Instead of advertising Joost de Valk&#8217;s products, they now advertise four complimentary products affiliated with Balkhi.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MonsterInsightsDisplayAds.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53709\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/MonsterInsightsDisplayAds.png?resize=1025%2C596\" alt=\"Display Advertising in MonsterInsights\" /></a>Display Advertising in MonsterInsights\n<p>Within the last 24 hours, the plugin has received a number of enhancements based on user feedback. Although the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-little-communication-goes-a-long-way\">lack of communication</a> put some people off, the company&#8217;s quick response has satisfied <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-honestly-thought-my-site-had-been-hacked-some-sort-of-warning-please?replies=14#post-8282661\">at least a few users</a>.

Peter is a web developer from the Land of the Danes. He is the creator of <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wp-pusher-aims-to-provide-pain-free-deployment-of-wordpress-themes-and-plugins-from-github\" target=\"_blank\">WP Pusher</a> and a huge travel addict, bringing his work along with him as he goes.<br />\n&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you run a typical WordPress agency, I will be bold enough to say this: Your WordPress team is probably not working as a team. Ouch!</p>\n<p>Developer productivity and workflow strategies are my passions. I try to talk to every WordPress developer I meet about how they work and what problems they face. If you ever used WP Pusher, signed up for one of my crash courses on Git, or if for any other reason I have your email address, there is a good chance that I have talked to you about this as well. I have spoken with hundreds of WordPress freelancers and agencies in order to get insights about how they work. You will be surprised to hear how many WordPress agencies are working as small one-person teams, instead of actually working together. The reason for this is a lack of some of the most basic enablers of teamwork.</p>\n<p>Here are 3 things that will make it very obvious to me that your WordPress team is probably not as much of a team as you would like to think:</p>\n<h2>1. Lack of version control</h2>\n<p>Did you read this headline thinking &#8220;Great, we&#8217;re committing everything to Bitbucket already, so we&#8217;re fine&#8221;? To be honest: Having an account on Bitbucket and pushing all your code there is not enough.</p>\n<p>Git is not just about backing up your code on Bitbucket or GitHub. It is one of the most basic collaboration tools for your developers. Git gives them the freedom to collaborate on the projects they work on, but only if used in a certain way. If the commit log is a big mess of huge commits with meaningless commit messages, it won&#8217;t be very helpful to the rest of the team.</p>\n<p>However, if a commit represents a small, isolated change and a commit message is well-written and concise, suddenly Git becomes a tool that your team can use to stay on top of what everyone else is working on. In teamwork, communication is key and Git is a great way for your team to communicate what is going on within the different code bases they are working on.</p>\n<h2>2. Lack of a code collaboration platform</h2>\n<p>The main reason to use a code collaboration platform like GitHub or Bitbucket is not to have a backup of your code. Dropbox would probably be easier to use in that case.</p>\n<p>GitHub in particular is a great place for code collaboration. The way pull requests are implemented on GitHub makes reviewing code very enjoyable. Pull requests are a way for your developers to act as a team, by helping each other out with knowledge sharing and feedback. By opening a pull request early in the process of building a new feature, you can invite your co workers to follow your progress and chip in with their knowledge. I have written in detail about pull requests on the WP Pusher blog if you want to learn more.</p>\n<p>Of course, GitHub is also a great place to see the current status of your team spirit. Are people sharing their work and asking for feedback? What are they getting it in return? Are people helping each other out? Are they working as a team?</p>\n<p>The culture is important as well. Giving each other feedback needs to be the norm. Using pull requests and having a list of well-written commit messages on GitHub is the first step, but the culture needs to be embraced as well. Asking for help should be rewarded and not frowned upon.</p>\n<h2>3. Lack of a deployment strategy</h2>\n<p>How are you going to review something that was edited live on a production site? The truth is, you are not.</p>\n<p>When your team is up and running with Git, a proper deployment strategy is a no brainer. It is the natural next step. If you do not have a proper strategy for your deployments, it tells me two things: 1. You are probably not using version control properly. 2. Your developers are manually uploading files over FTP &#8211; files that were never reviewed by any teammate.</p>\n<p>If you are using version control, having a deployment process that kicks in when code has been reviewed and is ready for production is easy. The lack of a deployment strategy is a very clear sign that something is missing in your processes.</p>\n<p>If you read this far and are realizing that your WordPress team is not really working as a team, here is my number one recommendation: Get every single technical person on your team on board with Git. Build a culture where communication and collaboration are the norm. In practice that means at least two things: First, when you look over the commit log on GitHub, you can actually see what happened and when. Second, when you go through the pull requests, the team spirit should be obvious from the way feedback is given and code reviews are done.</p>\n<p>My hope is that this post has convinced you that Git is more than just a backup tool. In fact it is one of the most important enablers for teamwork among developers. Without the foundation provided by Git, working effectively as a development team is almost impossible.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 15 Apr 2016 04:45:41 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:17;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"WPTavern: Font Awesome 4.6.0 Adds New Accessibility Icons Category\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53488\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"http://wptavern.com/font-awesome-4-6-0-adds-new-accessibility-icons-category\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3432:\"<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-accessibility.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/font-awesome-accessibility.png?resize=1025%2C501\" alt=\"font-awesome-accessibility\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53682\" /></a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/\" target=\"_blank\">Font Awesome</a> creator Dave Gandy announced the release of <a href=\"https://articles.fortawesome.com/font-awesome-4-6-released-d7213342698a#.9aq9g24al\" target=\"_blank\">version 4.6.0</a> this week.

Developers are also advised to review the new <a href=\"http://fontawesome.io/accessibility/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility documentation</a> and update their icon markup as necessary.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 14 Apr 2016 22:27:27 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"WPTavern: Simple Cache: A New One-Click Install Caching Plugin for WordPress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53370\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:85:\"http://wptavern.com/simple-cache-a-new-one-click-install-caching-plugin-for-wordpress\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5422:\"<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache.png?resize=720%2C291\" alt=\"simple-cache\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53657\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordPress caching plugins are notorious for being packed full of confusing options, spammy with upsells, and difficult to uninstall. Users who are looking for a caching solution that simply works and has nothing to configure should check out <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Cache</a>, a new plugin on WordPress.org that offers a one-click install. The plugin promises lightning fast speed with a simple on/off switch.</p>\n<p>After investigating some of the <a href=\"https://taylorlovett.com/2016/03/25/wordpress-caching-plugin-comparison/\" target=\"_blank\">popular caching solutions for WordPress</a>, Taylor Lovett found most of them to have cluttered interfaces that make them unnecessarily complex to configure. Lovett, who has worked with many different caching solutions as Director of Web Engineering at <a href=\"http://10up.com/\" target=\"_blank\">10up</a>, decided to create his own implementation that would be easy for users to work with, hence the name Simple Cache.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I wrote my comparison blog post with no plans of creating my own caching plugin,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;After doing the research, I had a few ideas on how to create a plugin that would really have a positive impact on websites.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Once installed, Simple Cache can be turned on with the click of a button. It also has a few optional settings for expiring the cache and enabling compression. The simple mode offers file-based page caching (similar to WP Super Cache), which is sufficient to speed up the vast majority of simple sites.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache-settings.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/simple-cache-settings.png?resize=1025%2C472\" alt=\"simple-cache-settings\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53661\" /></a></p>\n<p>Lovett also built an advanced mode that implements object caching and will automatically setup <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/batcache/\" target=\"_blank\">Batcache</a> and <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/\" target=\"_blank\">Memcached</a>/<a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-redis/\" target=\"_blank\">Redis</a> for you.</p>\n<p>After a quick test in simple mode on a blog with a handful of plugins like Akismet, Jetpack, Google Analytics, and a few others, I saw a roughly 38% decrease in loading time. Before installing Simple Cache, the site loaded in 3.9 seconds.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/before-simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/before-simple-cache.png?resize=1025%2C257\" alt=\"Before installing Simple Cache\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53666\" /></a>Before installing Simple Cache\n<p>Simple Cache shaved 1.5 seconds off the loading time:</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/after-simple-cache.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/after-simple-cache.png?resize=1025%2C255\" alt=\"After installing Simple Cache\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53665\" /></a>After installing Simple Cache\n<p>These results came without touching the advanced mode, which would offer an even bigger performance boost.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The Redis functionality is forked from Pantheon’s WP Redis plugin,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;The Memcached functionality is forked from Automattic’s drop-in. If you use page caching with object caching, a forked version of Batcache by Automattic is used.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If there is no object cache set up, page caching defaults to using the file system (simple mode). This is most likely what you would use if your site is on shared hosting.</p>\n<p>&#8220;So really Simple Cache gives you the best of both worlds,&#8221; Lovett said. &#8220;A very simple setup, or an advanced setup with the most battle-tested page cache and object cache drop-ins.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Users can easily purge the cache from the button on the plugin&#8217;s setting screen. If you try Simple Cache and don&#8217;t want to keep using it, it&#8217;s easy to uninstall, cleans up after itself, and, most importantly, doesn&#8217;t break your website. Lovett also worked to ensure that the UX, notices, warnings, and error messages are user friendly and understandable.</p>\n<p>The whole concept of caching is difficult for non-developers to grasp. It might as well be powered by Merlin&#8217;s wand, as far as most users&#8217; understanding goes. They need it to work without a ton of complicated settings. Simple Cache fits the bill and is hands-down the easiest caching plugin I&#8217;ve ever tested.</p>\n<p>Lovett plans to add more features and improve upon his implementation based on feedback from the community. If you&#8217;re looking for a new caching solution, you can find <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cache/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Cache</a> on WordPress.org. Feedback and contributions are welcome on the plugin&#8217;s support forums and via its <a href=\"https://github.com/tlovett1/simple-cache\" target=\"_blank\">GitHub repository</a>.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 14 Apr 2016 20:35:44 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:19;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:84:\"WPTavern: Syed Balkhi Acquires Google Analytics by Yoast, Renames to MonsterInsights\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53636\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:93:\"http://wptavern.com/syed-balkhi-acquires-google-analytics-by-yoast-renames-to-monsterinsights\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2622:\"<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/GoogleAnalyticsMonsterInsightsFeaturedImage.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53645\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/GoogleAnalyticsMonsterInsightsFeaturedImage.png?resize=836%2C263\" alt=\"Google Analytics Monster Insights Featured Image\" /></a>Users who are updating <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/\">Google Analytics for WordPress by Yoast</a> are discovering a new menu item with a green monster icon in their WordPress backend. That&#8217;s because Syed Balkhi, founder of WPBeginner.com, <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/welcome-to-monsterinsights/\">has acquired it</a> for an undisclosed amount and has renamed it to <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/\">MonsterInsights</a>.</p>\n<p>Joost de Valk, founder of Yoast.com, <a href=\"https://yoast.com/new-home-google-analytics-plugins/\">says</a> the company is focusing on its core offerings surrounding SEO and that the plugin no longer fits into its roadmap.</p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the &#8216;problems&#8217; of a quickly growing business is that you have to choose what to focus on. We’ve made that choice: we’ll focus on building best in class SEO products, from plugins to reviews, eBooks and training programs.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Apart from the changes to its name and the new menu icon, the plugin remains the same and should function normally for existing users. <a href=\"https://www.monsterinsights.com/welcome-to-monsterinsights/\">According to Balkhi</a>, additional features are on the way.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Over the next 8 months, we will be adding some amazing new features that I know you will love. Since it’s a plugin that we will be using across our suite of products and websites, you can expect it to be the best.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Since Google Analytics for WordPress was the first major plugin created by de Valk, handing it over to a new owner is bittersweet.</p>\n<blockquote><p>While I’m very happy about the decision to give this plugin a new home, I’m also feeling nostalgic. It’s been &#8216;with me&#8217; for a very long time, but I trust Syed and team will take it to even greater heights.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The acquisition seems like a perfect complement to Balkhi&#8217;s other products like <a href=\"http://www.optinmonster.com/\">OptinMonster</a> and <a href=\"http://www.wpforms.com/\">WPForms</a> where analytical data helps make crucial decisions.

Automattic is one of the early sponsors of the initiative and has partnered with Let&#8217;s Encrypt to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-partners-with-lets-encrypt-to-enable-https-on-all-wordpress-com-websites\" target=\"_blank\">add full SSL support for all sites hosted on WordPress.com</a>. With the success of the beta period, Let&#8217;s Encrypt continues to renew and add sponsors to its roster, including Cisco, Akamai, Gemalto, HP Enterprise, Fastly, and other organizations.</p>\n<p>“A mix of people and organizations use Let’s Encrypt,&#8221; Mozilla representatives told TechCrunch. &#8220;Many individuals and smaller entities use it, but quite a few larger organizations such as WordPress.com, OVH, Akamai and Dreamhost use it as well. It’s especially nice to see services like Dreamhost and Automattic opting to secure all their customers at once, which is something that Let’s Encrypt really enables.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>How to Set Up a Let&#8217;s Encrypt Certificate for Self-Hosted WordPress</h3>\n<p>If you want to install a free Let&#8217;s Encrypt certificate for your self-hosted WordPress site, <a href=\"http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-free-ssl-in-wordpress-with-lets-encrypt/\" target=\"_blank\">WPBeginner has a tutorial</a> with instructions for commonly used hosts, including SiteGround, DreamHost, and Bluehost.

Today however, the company pushed <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/\">Edit Flow</a> 0.8.1 to the WordPress plugin directory which is the same version that&#8217;s <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow\">on GitHub</a>. According to the plugin&#8217;s <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/changelog/\">changelog</a>, 0.8.1 includes the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>New German localization</li>\n<li>New Spanish localization</li>\n<li>Performance improvements for the calendar, custom statuses, and editorial metadata</li>\n<li>Bug fix: Show &#8220;(no title)&#8221; on the calendar when a post doesn&#8217;t have a title</li>\n<li>Bug fix: Persist the future date position of a post on the calendar when a post is updated</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So why the sudden surge in activity? Philip John, VIP Wrangler for Automattic, stopped by and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/hey-automattic-whats-going-on-with-edit-flow#comment-164215\">provided the following statement</a> to the Tavern.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Folks, we’re sorry that it looks as though we’ve abandoned Edit Flow. We certainly haven’t, and we should have at least updated the tested tag for the plugin as you rightly point out.</p>\n<p>We’ve done that today, as well as make sure GitHub and WordPress.org are in sync.</p>\n<p>Internally I’m working on an effort to make Automattic better at maintaining our own plugins. We want to avoid this situation as much as we can, and I promise we’re trying.</p>\n<p>Thank you for calling us out on this. Let’s see what we can all do about getting some attention for Edit Flow.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This is welcome news to anyone who depends on the editorial workflow options provided by the plugin. While Edit Flow is a WordPress.com VIP project, the team is open to contributions from the community.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to give folks a better structure for contributing and build confidence that their contributions will go somewhere,&#8221; Paul Maiorana, VP at Automattic who helps run WordPress.com VIP said.</p>\n<p>Now that the team is rectifying the situation, <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/hey-automattic-whats-going-on-with-edit-flow#comments\">those who showed interest</a> in continuing its development are highly encouraged to submit pull requests or open new issues on the <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow\">project&#8217;s GitHub page</a>.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:11:23 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:23;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"WPTavern: WordPress.com Adds Sharing Buttons for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53592\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:86:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-adds-sharing-buttons-for-whatsapp-telegram-and-skype\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4431:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/messaging-buttons.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/messaging-buttons.png?resize=1025%2C452\" alt=\"messaging-buttons\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53595\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordPress.com is finally adding sharing buttons for some of the world&#8217;s most widely used messaging apps. Users can now <a href=\"https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/new-on-wordpress-com-sharing-buttons-for-whatsapp-telegram-and-skype/\" target=\"_blank\">add WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype to the lineup</a> by editing the sharing buttons for their sites.</p>\n<p>Private groups and messaging are rapidly overtaking social networking. This was the driving factor behind Facebook&#8217;s purchase of WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion, an acquisition that lodged the company even deeper into its users&#8217; pocket communications. The app now has <a href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/1/10889534/whats-app-1-billion-users-facebook-mark-zuckerberg\" target=\"_blank\">more than a billion users</a>, which you would be foolish to ignore when presenting options for sharing your posts.</p>\n<p>As of February 2016, Telegram <a href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2016/02/23/encrypted-messaging-app-telegram-hits-100m-monthly-active-users-350k-new-users-each-day/\" target=\"_blank\">reported 100 million monthly active users</a>, with 350,000 new users signing up every day. The app delivers 15 billion messages daily. Skype has an estimated 300 million users.</p>\n<p>These &#8220;Dark Social&#8221; streams of traffic, which cannot be tracked by traditional analytics, are now dominating social sharing. This includes sources like emails, instant messages, and forum posts. According to a <a href=\"http://info.radiumone.com/rs/radiumone/images/RadiumOne_DarkSocial.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokvK%2FMZKXonjHpfsX96ugvUaOwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBiI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLDCMbhs07gFWhI%3D\" target=\"_blank\">research poll of 9,000+ consumers conducted by RadiumOne</a>, dark social sharing accounts for 69% of all sharing worldwide. That percentage is even higher in Europe and Australia.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dark-social-sharing.png\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/dark-social-sharing.png?resize=1025%2C524\" alt=\"credit: RadiumOne\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53608\" /></a>credit: <a href=\"http://info.radiumone.com/rs/radiumone/images/RadiumOne_DarkSocial.pdf?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRokvK%2FMZKXonjHpfsX96ugvUaOwlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBiI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSLDCMbhs07gFWhI%3D\" target=\"_blank\">RadiumOne</a>\n<p>The survey also found that 32% of people who share content online will only share via dark social channels. This type of direct sharing to friends, family, and colleagues often carries more weight than tweets or Facebook posts broadcasted to the masses.</p>\n<p>Most messaging apps are not limited to one-to-one sharing; users often share to large groups curated for a specific purpose or interest, such as poker buddies, mom friends, extended family, or work friends. The ability for users to easily share blog posts or even e-commerce products to dark social channels is crucial for exposure to these networks that are not diluted by algorithms and advertising.</p>\n<p>With user bases in the hundreds of millions to billions, messaging applications are channels that publishers can no longer afford to ignore. Hopefully the team at Automattic will prioritize making these buttons available to Jetpack users on self-hosted sites in the near future. Until then, you can add <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/new-plugin-adds-a-whatsapp-button-to-jetpacks-sharing-module\" target=\"_blank\">WhatsApp</a> and <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/add-telegram-to-jetpack-sharing-buttons\" target=\"_blank\">Telegram</a> sharing buttons to Jetpack using a couple of existing plugins created by Brazilian WordPress developer Valerio Souza.</p>\n<p>If everyone were to agree on <a href=\"http://www.wired.com/2015/08/time-to-ditch-texting/\" target=\"_blank\">a universal messaging app</a> we could reduce the number of sharing buttons that clutter the ends of posts. Since that is unlikely to happen anytime soon, now might be a good time to find out what apps your readers are using so you can reevaluate your lineup of sharing buttons for additions and/or removals.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 13 Apr 2016 20:37:36 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:24;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:80:\"WPTavern: Mendel Kurland Interviews Konstantin Obenland at WordCamp London, 2016\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53604\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:89:\"http://wptavern.com/mendel-kurland-interviews-konstantin-obenland-at-wordcamp-london-2016\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:650:\"<p><a href=\"https://mendel.me/\">Mendel Kurland, </a>GoDaddy’s evangelist who participates in a number of open source communities published a great interview with Automattic employee, <a title=\"http://konstantin.obenland.it\" href=\"http://konstantin.obenland.it/\">Konstantin Obenland</a>.</p>\n<p>In the interview, Obenland describes how he got involved with WordPress, what motivated him to learn PHP, and what it&#8217;s like living the dream.

Human Made will be hosting the event in partnership with <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Post Status</a> and the team at <a href=\"https://bocoup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bocoup</a>. This edition of the conference will include workshops on the 27th and the 29th to educate attendees on how to use some of the most popular frontend technologies for building applications with the WP REST API.</p>\n<p>Human Made representative Petya Raykovska said that Bocoup being located in Boston was one of the main reasons for hosting the event there, since they wanted to partner together for the workshops. Prospective attendees were also eager for a US-based event where they could go in-depth with the WP REST API.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We never planned to do the event only in Europe,&#8221; Raykovska said. &#8220;We had a lot of people asking for live streaming or if we’re planning to organize an event in the US while we were planning A Day of REST London.

Although the author listing on the plugin&#8217;s page shows Mohammad Jangda, Daniel Bachhuber, and Scott Bressler as authors, it&#8217;s currently maintained by Automattic.</p>\n<p>Bachhuber <a href=\"https://danielbachhuber.com/2013/05/08/end-of-one-era-on-to-the-next/\">announced in 2013</a> that Automattic claimed ownership of all the plugins he worked on during his employment, including Edit Flow. The WordPress.com VIP team took over development and in some cases, <a href=\"https://vip.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/atlantic-medias-quartz/\">uses it on client sites</a>.</p>\n<p>If you visit the plugin&#8217;s page today, you&#8217;ll see the following notice:</p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"plugin-notice-banner-msg\">This plugin <strong>hasn’t been updated in over 2 years</strong>. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.</span></p></blockquote>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-flow/changelog/\">changelog</a> and the <a href=\"http://editflow.org/2014/01/07/v0-8-dashboard-notepad-calendar-improvements-and-more/\">Edit Flow news blog</a>, the plugin hasn&#8217;t been updated since January 2014, when 0.8 was released. For more than a year, concerned users have created threads in the support forum questioning if the project has been abandoned.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assume-that-edit-flow-has-been-abandoned\">Assume that Edit Flow has been abandoned</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/abandoned-23\">Abandoned?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/has-edit-flow-been-discontinued\">Has Edit Flow been discontinued?</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>A user who goes by the name drtarnaizoltan who has used Edit Flow for more than two years even <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fundraising-for-continuation\">suggested</a> a crowdfunding campaign to continue development.</p>\n<blockquote><p>We have an online magazine, and started to use this plugin almost 2 years ago. We don&#8217;t want to switch another, cause everyone in the editorial likes this one. I think we are not alone in this situation.

What is your opinion about?</p></blockquote>\n<p>The most <a href=\"https://github.com/automattic/Edit-Flow\">recent commit</a> to the project&#8217;s GitHub page is from Bachhuber six months ago. All of the communication channels used by Edit Flow developers to inform users are dormant. It&#8217;s ironic that a company that <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/automattic-no-email-no-office-workers-2013-11\">relies on so many tools to communicate internally</a> has <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/a-little-communication-goes-a-long-way\">failed to communicate</a> with users of its plugin. This is a classic example where a little communication about the project&#8217;s status would go a long way.</p>\n<p>Edit Flow is an important plugin that we use on the Tavern and as a user, I understand the frustration of not knowing what&#8217;s going on. The lack of updates, and inability to fix a critical bug <a href=\"https://github.com/Automattic/Edit-Flow/issues/267\">I reported a year ago</a> that conflicts with WordPress mobile apps is forcing us to consider alternatives.</p>\n<p>I reached out to Automattic to find out whether or not Edit Flow is still an active project. Mark Armstrong, who represents Automattic provided the Tavern with the following statement:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Edit Flow is a plugin we maintain, and a number of WordPress.com VIP clients use it. We have no other updates in the works at this time.</p></blockquote>\n<p>While his statement verifies that it&#8217;s an active project, all signs point to it being an abandoned plugin for those not part of the WordPress.com VIP program.</p>\n<p>Have you ditched Edit Flow?

It&#8217;s named, as always, after a famous jazz musician, and this release is named after <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins\">Coleman Hawkins</a>, a saxophonist.</p>\n<p>The Release Lead for WordPress 4.5 was <a href=\"https://getsource.net/\">Mike Schroder</a>, the Deputy Release Lead was <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/adamsilverstein\">Adam Silverstein</a>, and the Release Design lead was <a href=\"https://choycedesign.com/\">Mel Choyce</a>, with 277 total contributors.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video overview of WordPress 4.5:</p>\n<p><br />\n</p>\n<p>You can view all <a href=\"https://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&milestone=4.5\">closed tickets for WordPress 4.5</a>, and view an evolving overview of changes on the <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.5\">4.5 Codex page</a> as well. I thought I would also highlight some of the most notable features (in my view) as well.</p>\n<h3>Custom logo</h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23381\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/logo-core-752x270.png\" alt=\"logo-core\" width=\"752\" height=\"270\" /></p>\n<p>The site icon feature was released in WordPress 4.3, and for some folks, the introduction of a custom logo component was confusing. However, eventually, the user experience issues were ironed out and WordPress 4.5 boasts the ability to add logos with core support, and themes <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/10/custom-logo/\">can support the feature</a> with <code>add_theme_support( \'custom-logo\' )</code>.</p>\n<p>Custom logo support is a nice addition that was pretty well tested in Jetpack already. There were way too many custom implementations of this out in the wild before, and now changing themes and keeping your logo will be much more straightforward.</p>\n<h3>Editing shortcuts</h3>\n<div class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement(\'video\');</script><![endif]-->\n<a href=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-4-5-text-patterns.mp4\">https://poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordpress-4-5-text-patterns.mp4</a></div>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Editing shortcuts is my personal favorite change in WordPress 4.5 because it adds the ability to use inline text patterns for quickly writing lists, horizontal rules, and code. These are some of the most annoying TinyMCE buttons to use or HTML markdown bits to write, so this is definitely be a nice enhancement to the WordPress editor.</p>\n<p>The editing shortcuts from this release and the past few releases are some of my favorite updates for everyday WordPress writers.</p>\n<h3>Inline link editor</h3>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23383\" src=\"https://cdn.poststatus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Screen-Shot-2016-04-12-at-2.11.43-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-04-12 at 2.11.43 PM\" width=\"700\" height=\"200\" /></p>\n<p>The inline link editor is the second of <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/28/the-editor-in-wordpress-4-5/\">two significant editor changes</a> in WordPress 4.5, to utilize a tooltip-style overlay for adding links, versus a modal dialogue.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a relatively minor UX change, and I personally prefer just highlighting the text to add a link to and using a keyboard paste command, but for folks using the traditional link button, this offers a less obtrusive experience.</p>\n<h3></h3>\n<h3>Selective Refresh</h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-partial-refresh/\">selective refresh feature plugin</a> for the customizer aimed to create a better customizer experience. <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/16/selective-refresh-in-the-customizer/\">Weston Ruter summarized the feature on Make Core</a>, and describes its functionality in depth. He also hints at what it makes possible.</p>\n<p>Currently, <code>postMessage</code> enables live changes, but saving those changes requires a full page reload. <code>postMessage</code> doesn’t do any server side communication. Selective refresh enables server side communication (aka allows for actual saving of changes) and the ability to view changes without a full page reload.</p>\n<p>The code that is now a framework for selective refreshing started with the move of nav menus and widgets to the customizer:</p>\n<blockquote><p>With the shipped example of selective refresh of nav menus in the Customizer, and an initial implementation of selective refresh for widgets, work progressed to generalize a selective framework that would support the complicated examples of nav menus and widgets, but also to support simpler use cases such as letting the server render the updated site title so that <code>wptexturize</code> and other filters can apply. The generalized framework has been implemented in the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customize-partial-refresh/\">Customize Partial Refresh</a> feature plugin, which also re-implements selective refresh of nav menus and introduces selective refresh of sidebars and widgets.</p></blockquote>\n<p>However, Weston buried the lede for what makes Selective Refresh awesome.</p>\n<p>As he notes toward the end of the post on Make WordPress Core, the selective refresh component doesn’t just allow for site changes within the customizer, but for customizer controls to be called from the site.</p>\n<p>It’s worth describing what partials are in this context, for those (like me) that aren’t into the nitty gritty of the customizer:</p>\n<blockquote><p>This plugin introduces a selective refresh framework which centers around the concept of the <strong>partial</strong>. A partial is conceptually very similar to a Customizer control. Both controls and partials are associated with one or more settings. Whereas a control appears in the pane, the partial lives in the preview. The fields in a control update automatically to reflect the values of its associated settings, and a partial refreshes in the preview when one of its settings is changed.</p></blockquote>\n<p>And…</p>\n<blockquote><p>In addition to a partial being associated with one or more settings, a partial is also registered with a jQuery selector which identifies the partial’s locations or “<strong>placements</strong>” on the page, where the rendered content appears.</p></blockquote>\n<p>With selective refresh, an interface could be created within placements themselves to give focus on the associated control; but the whole customizer isn’t required, and just the control that’s needed can pop out. As Weston put it, “That is to say, selective refresh makes the Customizer a much better framework for implementing <strong>frontend editing</strong>.”</p>\n<p>And that, in addition to selective refresh itself, is awesome.</p>\n<h3>Better image compression</h3>\n<p>By default, WordPress has always compressed images upon upload. By making a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/22/proposal-increase-the-default-image-compression-in-wordpress/\">small change in the compression percentage</a>, from 90% to 82%, WordPress can enable, &#8220;reduced image sizes by an average of ~25%.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Additionally, unnecessary meta data in photos is removed automatically by WordPress, while still maintaining the meta data <a href=\"https://photowebo.com/wordpress-4-5-image-compression-metadata/\">photographers actually use</a>. So all in all, images in WordPress can be cut in size by half without losing detail, and that&#8217;s amazing.</p>\n<h3>Log in by email</h3>\n<p>This has long been a desire for WordPress installs, and there have been plugins to help accomplish it, but now it&#8217;s in core as it should be.</p>\n<p>Quite simply, users can now log in via their username, or their active email address. Thank goodness &#8212; this is a nice UX enhancement.</p>\n<h3>Of course there are more</h3>\n<p>These are the features I wanted to note, but there are many others, as always, that took a lot of effort and greatly improve WordPress core. Others to consider are responsive customizer views; core library updates for Backbone, jQuery, and others; and oEmbed template management (which is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/11/embeds-changes-in-wordpress-4-5/\">really slickly done</a>).</p>\n<p>For more information, be sure to see the developer <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/30/wordpress-4-5-field-guide/\">field guide</a> for WordPress 4.5, as well as a <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/support/2016/04/4-5-omg-wtf-post/\">4.5 support guide</a>, and the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman\">official release post</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 12 Apr 2016 19:27:33 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"Brian Krogsgard\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:29;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:121:\"WPTavern: WordPress 4.5 “Coleman” Released, Introduces Custom Logos, Responsive Previews, Improved Editing Experience\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53467\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:122:\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-coleman-released-introduces-custom-logos-responsive-previews-improved-editing-experience\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7256:\"<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/coleman-hawkins.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/coleman-hawkins.jpg?resize=1025%2C550\" alt=\"photo credit: BBC Radio\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53560\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rl2hx\" target=\"_blank\">BBC Radio</a>\n<p><a href=\"https://wordpress.org/news/2016/04/coleman/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress 4.5</a> was released today, named in honor of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Hawkins\" target=\"_blank\">Coleman Hawkins</a>, an American jazz tenor saxophonist. Hawkins was one of the first musicians to establish the tenor saxophone as a jazz horn. Compared to other major releases, this one is short on show-stopping features but keeps WordPress on the path of steady, incremental improvements.</p>\n<p>Most of the updates for users focus on making WordPress content easier to format, edit, and customize. Here are a few of the highlights.</p>\n<h3>Custom Logos: Native Support for a Theme Logo</h3>\n<p>WordPress 4.5 introduces <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-to-introduce-native-support-for-a-theme-logo\" target=\"_blank\">native support for a theme logo</a> with code borrowed from Jetpack&#8217;s implementation. When a theme declares support for a custom logo, an upload form is added under the Site Identity panel of the customizer.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/site-logo.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/site-logo.png?resize=1025%2C748\" alt=\"Image credit: Ryan Boren\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51779\" /></a>Image credit: <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/flow/2016/02/19/customize-site-logo-and-icon-33755-5-diff-iphone-6/\">Ryan Boren</a>\n<p>This feature is a big win for theme developers, as they now have a standard way of including support for a logo. When they opt to follow core&#8217;s implementation, users will always know where to find the logo upload.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Given the hundreds of themes with their own implementation, it makes sense that core would standardize this,&#8221; said WordPress Theme Review Team admin Justin Tadlock. &#8220;The concept has been well tested for years in themes (and Jetpack). It’s a natural progression that core would get it, just like core standardized post classes, body classes, featured images, and other features that started out in the theme space. There’s an obvious need for it.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>Customizer Improvements: Live Responsive Previews and Selective Refresh</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/02/16/selective-refresh-in-the-customizer/\" target=\"_blank\">Selective refresh</a> is one of the under-the-hood updates to the customizer that makes a big difference for users. It makes previews more instant, instead of reloading the entire preview for each setting change. This is a much needed improvement that gives the customizer the true live preview experience that it was previously lacking.</p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrap\"></div>\n<p>&#8220;Selective refresh is a hybrid preview mechanism that has the performance benefit of not having to refresh the entire preview window,&#8221; Customizer component maintainer Weston Ruter said. &#8220;This was previously available with JS-applied postMessage previews, but selective refresh also improves the accuracy of the previewed change while reducing the amount of code you have to write; it also makes it possible to do performant previews that would previously been practically impossible.&#8221;</p>\n<p>After updating your site to 4.5, you can see a live example of selective refresh when editing menus. All core themes and core widgets now support selective refresh and users should see major performance improvements.</p>\n<p>This release also makes it easier for users to customize their sites with mobile devices in mind. It adds buttons to the customizer controls footer that enable desktop, tablet, and phone-sized device previews. Instead of having to test the site on different devices, users can see a live preview of how the design will respond while making changes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/customize-device-preview.gif\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/customize-device-preview.gif?resize=1025%2C537\" alt=\"customize-device-preview\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51464\" /></a></p>\n<h3>Improvements to Formatting and Editing Content</h3>\n<p>WordPress 4.5 adds <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-adds-inline-editing-to-the-links-modal\" target=\"_blank\">a more intuitive interface for editing inline links</a> in the visual editor. The interface detects if a user is entering a URL or attempting to search for one.

The changes break backwards compatibility for the sake of fixing a bug regarding slashed data.</p>\n<p>Other noteworthy updates include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-4-5-improves-comment-moderation-screens\" target=\"_blank\">Improvements to comment moderation screen</a> with visual enhancements and a maximum length for comment form fields </li>\n<li>Performance enhancements for images: Increased compression makes images <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/12/performance-improvements-for-images-in-wordpress-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">load up to 50% faster</a> with no noticeable quality loss</li>\n<li>Enhanced script loader: Better support for script header/footer dependencies, new <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/03/08/enhanced-script-loader-in-wordpress-4-5/\" target=\"_blank\">wp_add_inline_script()</a> enables adding extra code to registered scripts</li>\n<li>Better embed templates: these are now split into parts and can be customized by themes using the template hierarchy</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The 4.5 release was led by Mike Schroder and deputies Mel Choyce and Adam Silverstein.

The new API allows developers to easily build applications that fetch the wapuus with their images and details:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: xml; light: true; title: ; notranslate\">\n[\n  {\n    \"name\": \"original-wapuupng\",\n    \"wapuu\": {\n      \"name\": \"Wapuu\",\n      \"url\": \"https://ja.wordpress.org/\",\n      \"repository\": \"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu\",\n      \"src\": \"https://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/wapuu-archive/original-wapuu.png\",\n      \"mime_type\": \"image/png\"\n    },\n    \"author\": {\n      \"name\": \"Kazuko Kaneuchi\",\n      \"url\": \"https://twitter.com/mutsuking\"\n    },\n    \"description\": \"Original Wapuu\"\n  },\n  ...\n</pre>\n<p>Miyauchi said he is looking forward to seeing applications, well-designed galleries, and games that the community will build with it. The <a href=\"http://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/\" target=\"_blank\">official Wapuu archive</a> is already using the new Wapuu API.</p>\n<p>Miyauchi also built a <a href=\"http://spacewapuu.com/\" target=\"_blank\">space Wapuu gallery</a> with it based on <a href=\"http://threejs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">THREE.js</a>, a library that makes WebGL (3D in the browser) easy to use. The gallery works well in <a href=\"https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Cardboard</a> to deliver a fun VR-type experience of the flying wapuus.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/space-wapuu.gif\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/space-wapuu.gif?resize=1025%2C479\" alt=\"space-wapuu\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53535\" /></a></p>\n<p>Miyauchi is part of the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/community-translation-and-wapuu-how-japan-is-shaping-wordpress-history\" target=\"_blank\">vibrant WordPress community in Japan</a>, has three dozen <a href=\"https://profiles.wordpress.org/miyauchi/#content-plugins\" target=\"_blank\">plugins</a> to his credit on WordPress.org, and enjoys building projects with the WordPress REST API. He said that the REST API hasn&#8217;t yet caught on in Japan, but he has been working on tools to make it easier for developers to create applications. Miyauchi built a WP API client for <a href=\"https://angularjs.org/\" target=\"_blank\">AngularJS</a> and is also creating an <a href=\"https://github.com/miya0001/ionic-starter-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">Ionic starter template</a> for WordPress + the WP API version 2.</p>\n<p>After learning about how much work it is to maintain the official Wapuu archive page, Miyauchi was inspired to use his skills to create a JSON API for cataloguing the 80+ wapuus from around the world.</p>\n<p>&#8220;If we can update the wapuu&#8217;s data via a CSV file, maintaining the archive is much easier,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The API is converted from <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api/blob/master/wapuu.csv\" target=\"_blank\">a CSV of wapuus</a>.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Miyauchi worked with <a href=\"https://twitter.com/tekapo\" target=\"_blank\">Taisuke Jotaki</a>, maintainer of the archive, and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/shinichin\" target=\"_blank\">Shinichi Nishikawa</a> to create the Wapuu API. If you want to add your wapuu to the archive, you can fork the <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api\" target=\"_blank\">Wapuu API repository</a>, add your wapuu information to the CSV, and send a pull request to the team.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 12 Apr 2016 17:18:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:31;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:45:\"Post Status: A Day of REST is going to Boston\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://poststatus.com/?p=22279\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"https://poststatus.com/day-of-rest-boston/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3963:\"<p>I&#8217;m happy to announce that Post Status is teaming up with Human Made to put on <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/boston-2016/\">A Day of REST Boston</a>, following the <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/a-day-of-rest-review/\">successful event in London in January</a>. This iteration of A Day of REST will include both a day long conference and workshops catered to developers interested in using the WordPress REST API.</p>\n<p>Like in London, A Day of REST Boston will have speakers from the team that is actually building the API and using it in production environments. The main event will take place <strong>October 28th, 2016</strong> at Calderwood Pavilion. Workshops will be October 27th and October 29th.</p>\n<p><strong>Organizers:</strong> A Day of REST Boston is put together by experienced industry event organizers from <a href=\"https://hmn.md/\">Human Made</a> who have organized events like WordCamp London 2013 and 2015, WordCamp Europe 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and A Day of REST London. The primary folks from the Human Made team are Siobhan McKeown, Petya Raykovska, and Zoe Beardmore. And Post Status will be co-organizing!</p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:</strong> Like in London, members of the WordPress REST API team itself will be speaking and participating in the event. Also, industry experts and developers who are actually using the REST API in production will be there. We&#8217;ll have a call for speakers available soon as well, as we&#8217;re seeking new and exciting examples of the REST API out in the wild, and the stories of the folks that made it happen.</p>\n<h3>Workshops</h3>\n<p>One of the things I&#8217;m most excited about for the Boston-based version of this event is that there will be <em>two days of workshops</em> in addition to the event, rather than a hack day. It was clear in London that there was demand for more hands-on activities to allow people (new and experienced with the API) to dig deeper.</p>\n<p>Attendees will have the opportunity to attend front end workshops tailored to WordPress developers, covering everything from JavaScript basics to in-depth explorations of specific technologies. A Day of REST is partnering with <a href=\"https://bocoup.com/\">Bocoup</a> (an incredible Boston based agency that loves open source technology), and perhaps a few other folks, to put on outstanding workshops.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in the event and the workshops, please help us choose the most relevant and valuable workshop topics for you. <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b8RlgPxD7JaeKVgNErsbxS7vCe_9LMQLAvVaekHiFlY/viewform?c=0&w=1\">Fill out the workshop survey</a> to have your say on what should be included. One workshop day is before the main event, and the other is the day after.</p>\n<p>There will be a special limited batch of Early Bird tickets for the conference, but you have to be <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/boston-2016/\">subscribe for A Day of REST Boston email notifications</a>.</p>\n<h3>Post Status involvement</h3>\n<p>At A Day of REST London, I was a general media partner, covering the event and <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/resources/category/events/a-day-of-rest/\">I&#8217;m hosting the videos as we release them</a>. This time around, I&#8217;m a co-organizer. I&#8217;ll be working with sponsors, throwing the after party, and covering the event to a greater degree.</p>\n<p>If you want to sponsor A Day of REST, please <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/contact/\">contact me</a> and check out our <a href=\"https://adayofrest.hm/content/themes/ador-boston-theme/images/ADoRBoston_SponsorPackages.pdf\">sponsorship information package</a>!</p>\n<p>There will also be an opportunity for people to buy a ticket for A Day of REST that includes a <a href=\"https://poststatus.com/club/\">Post Status Club</a> membership!

This post is an assortment of items related to WordPress that caught my eye but didn’t make it into a full post.</p>\n<h2>Revolution Slider Possible Cause of Data Breach</h2>\n<p>Wordfence <a href=\"https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/04/mossack-fonseca-breach-vulnerable-slider-revolution/\">analyzed the Mossack Fonseca website</a> and discovered that it was running a <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/critical-security-vulnerability-found-in-wordpress-slider-revolution-plugin-immediate-update-advised\">vulnerable version</a> of Revolution Slider, a popular image slider plugin for WordPress. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to place a shell on the web server. Whether this is the point of entry for the data leak remains to be seen. While I enjoyed the article, <a href=\"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11449750\">some people on Hacker News</a> ripped it apart.</p>\n<h2>State of the Woo</h2>\n<p>The second annual <a href=\"https://wooconf.com/\">WooConf</a> took place this week where Matt Mullenweg gave the State of The Woo address. Marie Dodson of Torque has <a href=\"http://torquemag.io/2016/04/state-of-the-woo-2016/\">a great post</a> with highlights from his session. The biggest take away is that Automattic plans on releasing a Jetpack like plugin for WooCommerce to handle complicated tasks like payments, shipments, taxes, and more.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s incredible how many WooCommerce plugins are submitted to us for review. It seems like there&#8217;s a plugin that handles any nuance of WooCommerce you can think of. It&#8217;s turned into quite a cottage industry and one every product developer should consider getting into.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Importer Progress Bars</h2>\n<p>In addition to his work on the WordPress REST API, Ryan McCue is also <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/\">leading the efforts</a> to improve the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/\">WordPress Importer</a>. A few days ago, he published an image on Twitter showing off status indicators.

According to the <a href=\"https://flippa.com/6291243-wplift-com\">listing on Flippa</a>, the bidding price has reached $55K. The auction has 13 bids with 19 days left. Dale explains why he&#8217;s selling the site:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Quite simply, I have been writing about WordPress now on WPLift since 2010 – I have posted just about every week day in that period and the site now contains over 990 posts, I have been finding it more of a struggle to keep up with running the site alongside ThemeFurnace and the addition of 2 children to my family! I would like someone fresh to takeover WPLift who can dedicate more time and fresh ideas to the site.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve linked to quite a few articles and discussions on the WPLift site. Whoever purchases the site, I hope they continue the great reputation that WPLift has established.</p>\n<h2>What Do Video Games and WordPress Development Have in Common?</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/JJJ\">John James Jacoby</a> published a great series of Tweets using video game images to relate to software development.

The network&#8217;s subdomains have been HTTPS-enabled <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/wordpress-com-to-implement-ssl-for-all-subdomains-joins-the-fight-against-mass-surveillance\" target=\"_blank\">since 2014 as part of the Reset the Net campaign</a> against mass surveillance. Today Automattic expanded HTTPS coverage to more than one million custom domains hosted on the network.</p>\n<p>Last April the company joined Mozilla, Cisco, EFF and several other organizations to <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/automattic-sponsors-lets-encrypt-initiative\" target=\"_blank\">sponsor Let&#8217;s Encrypt</a>, a new free certificate authority for the public. The project gave WordPress.com an automated way to roll out an SSL certificate to each custom domain it hosts. Users do not need to adjust any setting &#8211; encryption has been turned on automatically, which is indicated by a green lock in the browser&#8217;s address bar.</p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https://www.eff.org/encrypt-the-web\" target=\"_blank\">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>, encryption offered via the new initiative will help users defend against surveillance of their content and communications, cookie theft, account hijacking, cookie and ad injection, and other forms of internet censorship.</p>\n<p>WordPress.com representatives said sites may see a performance boost and better Google rankings as a result of the switch to HTTPS. Two years ago Google <a href=\"https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/08/https-as-ranking-signal.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced</a> it would begin using HTTPS as a lightweight ranking signal as an incentive for website owners to switch to HTTPS. With the help of the Let&#8217;s Encrypt initiative, many of the technical barriers to adding encryption have been removed. WordPress.com&#8217;s move to provide free HTTPS for all customers helps make the web more secure as the network powers a large chunk of the world&#8217;s websites.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 08 Apr 2016 20:23:46 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:35;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: Silk Lite: A Free WordPress Magazine Theme for Fashion Bloggers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53393\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"http://wptavern.com/silk-lite-a-free-wordpress-magazine-theme-for-fashion-bloggers\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3807:\"<p>After six months in the theme review queue, <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/silk-lite/\" target=\"_blank\">Silk Lite</a> was approved for the WordPress.org directory and also passed the extra requirements to be counted among the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/accessibility-ready/\" target=\"_blank\">accessibility-ready themes</a>.

After three weeks of being in the system, here is what I experienced.</p>\n<h2>Stuck in Limbo</h2>\n<p>After configuring the plugin and successfully getting WP Tavern approved on Apple News, I thought that articles published on the site would automatically publish to Apple News. It didn&#8217;t work out that way, at least, not at first.</p>\n<p>When checking the status of those articles in the WordPress backend, the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/publish-to-apple-news/\">Publish to Apple News</a> plugin listed articles as Pending. Apple&#8217;s News publisher also didn&#8217;t show any drafts from WordPress or published articles.</p>\n<p>Based on some Google searches, I created and published a new article within the Apple News Publisher app. Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t show up as a published article and because it was the first one, it had to be approved by Apple News.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherFirstSubmission.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53379\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherFirstSubmission.png?resize=635%2C310\" alt=\"Apple News Publisher First Submission\" /></a>Apple News Publisher First Submission\n<p>The first article published in Apple News was on March 21st. Between March 21st and March 31st, I was stuck in limbo. I had no idea when the article would be approved or at what point in the process I was in.</p>\n<p>With the lack of communication, I started troubleshooting the Publish to Apple News plugin thinking that something was wrong. In the plugin&#8217;s settings, there&#8217;s an option to turn debugging on which sends emails to a specified email address each time an article is published, updated, or deleted with a detailed API response.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherDebugOptions.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53380\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsPublisherDebugOptions.png?resize=691%2C250\" alt=\"Apple News Publisher Debug Options\" /></a>Apple News Publisher Debug Options\n<p>I didn&#8217;t receive any emails when articles were published leading me to believe there was a potential communication issue between the Tavern and Apple News. A few days passed by when all of a sudden, I received two emails with debug information.</p>\n<p>I checked the <a href=\"https://apple.news/TQYQeeBHDRce_JL3U0PCWGw\">Tavern&#8217;s Apple News channel</a> and discovered that the first article I published using Apple&#8217;s publishing tool was approved. Had I not checked the channel, I wouldn&#8217;t have known that it was approved. I disabled debug mode in the Publish to Apple News plugin and noticed articles published on the Tavern after the approval appeared as expected.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PublishedArticlesInApplesNewsPublisher.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53383\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PublishedArticlesInApplesNewsPublisher.png?resize=1025%2C757\" alt=\"Published Articles In Apples News Publisher\" /></a>Published Articles In Apples News Publisher\n<p>Apple should send an email notification when the first article is approved along with details that future articles will be published automatically.</p>\n<h2>What Articles Look Like in the Apple News App</h2>\n<p>I kept the default style settings provided by the Publish to Apple News plugin. As you can see, the articles don&#8217;t look that bad with the exception of the WordCamp Central article. For some reason, the image splits up the first sentence of the post. I&#8217;m looking into why this happens but I&#8217;ve seen it on other posts as well.</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8464\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8464.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8464\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8466\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8466.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8466\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8468\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8468.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8468\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8467\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8467.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8467\" /></a>\n<a href=\"http://wptavern.com/img_8465\"><img width=\"282\" height=\"500\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/img_8465.png?fit=282%2C500\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"img_8465\" /></a>\n\n<p>One thing I don&#8217;t like is that if an image is used at the beginning of an article, the Apple News App displays the HTML code of the image on the article listing page instead of article text. It would be more beneficial to readers if the listing page displayed text from the article and not HTML related to images.</p>\n<h2>Apple News Publisher Analytics</h2>\n<p>According to the analytics dashboard in Apple News Publisher, some of you have subscribed to our channel. The dashboard includes stats like, unique viewers, total views, article shares, and more.</p>\n<a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsAnalytics.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53404\" src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AppleNewsAnalytics.png?resize=1025%2C728\" alt=\"Apple News Analytics\" /></a>Apple News Analytics\n<p>You can even dive into analytics on a per post level to determine why some articles do better than others. To view stats in a different program or to back them up, Apple News publisher allows you to download up to 30 days worth of data at once in CSV format.</p>\n<h2>The Experiment Continues</h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s not enough data to determine if publishing articles to Apple News is worth the effort. Three months from now, I&#8217;ll look at the data and publish a follow-up post with our findings. It will also include reviews from readers who are subscribed to our channel to find out what they like and dislike about consuming WP Tavern&#8217;s content through Apple News.</p>\n<p>Although the process could use some improvement, especially around communication, once the approval process is complete, the system runs automatically. Let us know in the comments what your experience has been like connecting your site to Apple News Publisher.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 08 Apr 2016 03:51:40 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:38;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:77:\"WPTavern: AffiliateWP Passes 30K in Monthly Revenue After 2 Years in Business\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53352\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:87:\"http://wptavern.com/affiliatewp-passes-30k-in-monthly-revenue-after-2-years-in-business\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4968:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/affiliatewp.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/affiliatewp.png?resize=1025%2C463\" alt=\"affiliatewp\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53362\" /></a></p>\n<p>The team behind <a href=\"https://affiliatewp.com/\" target=\"_blank\">AffiliateWP</a> is <a href=\"https://pippinsplugins.com/affiliatewp-two-years-later/\" target=\"_blank\">celebrating its second anniversary today</a>. The plugin and its suite of add-ons has rapidly become one of the most successful products in the WordPress ecosystem under the leadership of Pippin Williamson and his team.</p>\n<p>Williamson, who is known for his yearly transparency reports, shared that AffiliateWP was the fastest of his products to reach $100,000 in annual revenue. It took just nine months for the plugin to reach that goal and in 2015 it passed $30,000 in monthly revenue.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Our first month to break $30,000 was April, 2015, when we brought in $32,904.90,&#8221; Williamson said. &#8220;Since then, we have had only 3 months that were below 30, and they were only just barely below the 30 mark.&#8221;</p>\n<p>They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and this was certainly the case with the creation of AffiliateWP. Williamson said that his customers were always asking for recommendations on affiliate plugins but at the time his team could not confidently recommend any of the existing solutions. They found most to be &#8220;unreliable, unpleasant to use, and generally not a good fit.&#8221;</p>\n<p>&#8220;After a particularly painful support ticket where it was discovered that one of our customers had paid (or not paid) thousands of dollars to the wrong people due to a bug in their affiliate tracking plugin, we decided to do something about it,&#8221; Williamson said.</p>\n<p>He worked in his spare time and late at night to develop AffiliateWP while supporting EDD and Restrict Content Pro during business hours. The product&#8217;s revenue now supports a full-time team of six people.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It humbles me to think that my little side project could go from an after-hours project to providing for the full time jobs of an entire team,&#8221; Williamson said.</p>\n<h3>AffiliateWP&#8217;s Business Model Helped it Grow Faster than EDD</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://easydigitaldownloads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Easy Digital Downloads</a>, Williamson&#8217;s first venture, is touted as having pioneered one of the most wildly successful business models in the WordPress ecosystem, but AffiliateWP was not built on the same model. EDD offers a free base plugin with commercial add-ons available a la carte. AffiliateWP does not have an official free product and is not directly supported by commercial extensions.</p>\n<p>Pricing for the product <a href=\"https://affiliatewp.com/pricing/\" target=\"_blank\">starts at $49 and ranges up to $449</a>, with different packages that include varying levels of support and Professional add-ons.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Utilizing this business model is without any doubt one of reasons AffiliateWP accelerated at the rate it did,&#8221; Williamson said. &#8220;This model has not only been lucrative for us, I personally think it’s superior in many ways to other models common throughout the WordPress ecosystem.</p>\n<p>&#8220;I like it enough that we recently chose to migrate Restrict Content Pro to the same model,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If I had the opportunity to start over with Easy Digital Downloads, I would almost certainly opt to use the same model there as well instead of selling each add-on individually.&#8221;</p>\n<p>AffiliateWP&#8217;s total revenue for 2015 was $379,078 and Williamson projects that figure to be in the neighborhood of $420,000-$450,000 for 2016.</p>\n<p>The fact that <a href=\"https://github.com/AffiliateWP/AffiliateWP\" target=\"_blank\">AffiliateWP is also available for free on GitHub</a> has not compromised the product&#8217;s success. In fact, Williamson believes it has only enhanced it. The open source plugin has received contributions from 49 different developers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a stat I’m particularly proud of considering AffiliateWP is a commercial product, a category of WordPress plugins that tends to get very little development from anyone outside of the core development team of the product,&#8221; Williamson said. &#8220;We chose to make AffiliateWP 100% open on GitHub with a public repository specifically to help facilitate contributions from other developers. I believe firmly that this was a good decision that has worked out quite well for us.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Williamson&#8217;s transparency about his plugin revenue serves as an inspiration to other entrepreneurs in the commercial plugin space. AffiliateWP&#8217;s success is an example of what&#8217;s possible in the WordPress product space with hard work, high quality code, and the right team.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 07 Apr 2016 20:34:21 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:39;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:64:\"WPTavern: WPWeekly Episode 229 – VersionPress Goes Open Source\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"http://wptavern.com?p=53277&preview_id=53277\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"http://wptavern.com/wpweekly-episode-229-versionpress-goes-open-source\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3127:\"<p>In this episode of WordPress Weekly, <a href=\"http://marcuscouch.com/\">Marcus Couch</a> and I discuss the news of the week, including a big move for VersionPress as it transitions into an open source project.

The 2015 event had commemorative stickers printed along with a Wapuunk-embroidered scarf for attendees. Shortly thereafter, nearly every WordCamp organization team began designing their own custom wapuu mascots.</p>\n<p>WordCamp London 2016 will take place this weekend at the London Metropolitan University. The event&#8217;s official wapuu will be printed on stickers and may be incorporated into other vintage London-inspired WordCamp swag.</p>\n<p>Wapuu collectors in attendance this weekend will want to arrive at the event early, as a <a href=\"http://gemmagarner.com/blog/illustration/meet-r2-wapuu/\" target=\"_blank\">limited edition R2-Wapuu</a> has also been designed in honor of the WordCamp. UK-based designers <a href=\"http://gemmagarner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gemma Garner</a> and <a href=\"http://scott.ee/\" target=\"_blank\">Scott Evans</a> collaborated on the R2-D2-inspired wapuu and printed a small batch of 100 stickers. Approximately 600 people are expected to attend this year&#8217;s event, so only the lucky few who hunt down Garner or Evans will receive an R2-wapuu sticker. An .svg file of the design will be sent to the official <a href=\"https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu/tree/gh-pages/wapuu-archive\" target=\"_blank\">wapuu archive on GitHub</a> if you want to print your own.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/r2-wapuu.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/r2-wapuu.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"r2-wapuu\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-53332\" /></a></p>\n<p>WordCamp London 2016 will kick off in less than 48 hours.

It is clear that Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm that protected the assets of the rich and powerful by setting up shell companies, had employed a dangerously loose policy towards web security and communications.</p>\n<p>The firm ran its unencrypted emails through an outdated (2009) version of <a href=\"https://owa.mossfon.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft&#8217;s Outlook Web Access</a>. Outdated open source software running the frontend of the firm&#8217;s websites is also now suspected to have provided a vector for the compromise.</p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http://panamapapers.sueddeutsche.de/articles/56febff0a1bb8d3c3495adf4/\" target=\"_blank\">initial communications</a> with German newspaper the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), an anonymous source offered the data with a few conditions, saying that his/her life was in danger.</p>\n<p>&#8220;How much data are we talking about?&#8221; the SZ asked.</p>\n<p>&#8220;More than anything you have ever seen,&#8221; the source said.</p>\n<p>The Panama Papers breach is the largest data leak in history by a wide margin, with 2.6 terabytes of data, 11.5 million documents, and more than 214,000 shell companies exposed.</p>\n<p>Forbes has <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2016/04/05/panama-papers-amazon-encryption-epic-leak/#83ff3901df59\" target=\"_blank\">identified outdated WordPress and Drupal installations</a> as security holes that may have led to the data leak.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Forbes discovered the firm ran a three-month-old version of WordPress for its <a href=\"http://www.mossfon.com/\" target=\"_blank\">main site</a>, known to contain some vulnerabilities, but more worrisome was that, according to Internet records, its <a href=\"https://portal.mossfon.com/\" target=\"_blank\">portal</a> used by customers to access sensitive data was most likely run on a three-year-old version of Drupal, 7.23.</p></blockquote>\n<p>This information is partially inaccurate, however. While looking at the site today, I found that the firm&#8217;s WordPress-powered site is currently running on version 4.1 (released in December 2014), based on <a href=\"http://mossfon.com/wp-includes/js/autosave.js\" target=\"_blank\">its version of autosave.js</a>, which is identical to the <a href=\"https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.1-branch/wp-includes/js/autosave.js\" target=\"_blank\">autosave.js file shipped in 4.1</a>. Since that time WordPress has had numerous critical security updates.</p>\n<p>The main site is also loading a number of outdated scripts and plugins. Its active theme is <a href=\"http://www.mossfon.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/css/style.css\" target=\"_blank\">a three-year-old version of Twenty Eleven (1.5)</a>, which oddly resides in a directory labeled for /twentyten/.</p>\n<p>The Mossack Fonseca client portal <a href=\"https://portal.mossfon.com/CHANGELOG.txt\" target=\"_blank\">changelog.txt</a> file is public, showing that its Drupal installation hasn&#8217;t been updated for three years. Since the release of version 7.23, the software has received <a href=\"https://www.cvedetails.com/version/156577/Drupal-Drupal-7.23.html\" target=\"_blank\">25 security updates</a>, which means that the version it is running includes <a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/PSA-2014-003\" target=\"_blank\">highly critical known vulnerabilities</a> that could have given the hacker access to the server. This includes a <a href=\"https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2014-005\" target=\"_blank\">2014 SQL injection vulnerability</a> known in the Drupal community as &#8220;Drupalgeddon,&#8221; which affected every site running Drupal 7.31 or below.</p>\n<p>Investigators have not confirmed if the open source software vulnerabilities were used to access the data, but it is certainly plausible given the severity of the vulnerabilities in both older versions of WordPress and Drupal.</p>\n<p>&#8220;They seem to have been caught in a time warp,&#8221;  Professor Alan Woodward, a computer security expert from Surrey University, told <a href=\"http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-04/06/panama-papers-mossack-fonseca-website-security-problems\" target=\"_blank\">WIRED UK</a>. &#8220;If I were a client of theirs I&#8217;d be very concerned that they were communicating using such outdated technology.&#8221;</p>\n<p>If these open source software vulnerabilities provided the access point for this massive leak, then this company&#8217;s global fiasco was entirely preventable. Although many people welcome the uncovering of corruption and dirty money transactions of famous people and world leaders, the reality is that these kinds of exploits can also be carried out on well-meaning organizations that exist to protect people&#8217;s health records, financial data, and other sensitive information.</p>\n<p>This leak is not a measure of open source software&#8217;s reliability but rather underscores how low a priority some companies place on their tech departments and web security. With the rampant software vulnerabilities in this age, not updating software for years constitutes abject neglect of customers.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that software needs to be updated. This kind of routine maintenance is as foundational to a company&#8217;s business as brushing teeth or showering is for one&#8217;s health. Law firms and companies with such a lax approach to security are either ignorant or unwilling to spend the money to maintain technology that they don&#8217;t fully understand. The Panama Papers serve as a reminder that having a competent, skilled tech department is critical for any company that deals in sensitive information.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 06 Apr 2016 19:35:14 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:42;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:66:\"WPTavern: VersionPress Transitions Into a Free Open Source Project\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53260\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:76:\"http://wptavern.com/versionpress-transitions-into-a-free-open-source-project\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4228:\"<a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/VersionPressFeaturedImage.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-24643\" src=\"http://i2.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/VersionPressFeaturedImage.png?resize=650%2C200\" alt=\"Version Control Featured Image\" /></a>Version Control Featured Image\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/borekb\">Borek Bernard</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/JanVoracek\">Jan Voráček</a>, creators of <a href=\"http://versionpress.net/\">VersionPress</a>, <a href=\"https://blog.versionpress.net/2016/04/going-open-source/\">announced</a> that they&#8217;re transitioning the plugin into a free, open source project hosted <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/versionpress\">on GitHub</a>. In addition, they are releasing VersionPress 3.0 Beta, the first version released under the new model.</p>\n<h2>Open Source Is the Way Forward</h2>\n<p>In a post on the product&#8217;s site, Bernard explains that the only way for the project to be successful is to open up development to the public.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Towards the end of 2015, we started feeling it was the right time to convert the project to a fully open-sourced one,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>&#8220;The project started to be in good shape – had a clear direction set, most of the technical groundwork was laid, and we moved to GitHub. While we had most of WordPress core covered pretty well, there was still this huge ecosystem of WordPress plugins and themes that could cause trouble to VersionPress in millions of different ways.</p>\n<p>&#8220;In the long run, the project <em>had to</em> turn into OSS should it be successful, and fortunately, in 2015, we met investors who understood this and supported our vision,&#8221; Bernard said.</p>\n<p>The transition involved quite a bit of work migrating from Bitbucket and JIRA to GitHub. Old Wiki documents and other assets were migrated as well. In addition to the migration, old issues were translated to English and <a href=\"http://danielbachhuber.com/\">Daniel Bachhuber</a>, who maintains the <a href=\"http://wp-cli.org/\">WP-CLI project</a> audited the code. The project&#8217;s website also received a facelift.</p>\n<p>By transitioning to a public development model, Bernard hopes to tap into new resources to solve challenging problems.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll need your bright minds to solve some of the more difficult issues later this year, like how to integrate with complex plugins with custom DB structures,&#8221; he said.</p>\n<p>Despite being GPL licensed, free, and open source, the plugin will not be hosted in the WordPress plugin directory anytime soon.</p>\n<p>&#8220;It stays in the &#8216;Early Access&#8217; phase where it works well in certain scenarios but there are still many incompatible plugins, themes and hosts,&#8221; Bernard said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no magic solution to this, unfortunately, and more and more plugins and scenarios will be supported over time.&#8221;</p>\n<h2>Early Access Program Discontinued</h2>\n<p>The Early Access Program, which provided initial funding to develop VersionPress beyond its crowdfunding campaign, is being discontinued.</p>\n<p>&#8220;EAP was of great help but couldn&#8217;t really fund the project, by far,&#8221; Bernard told the Tavern. While the team doesn&#8217;t have a replacement for the revenue provided by EAP, Bernard plans to build exceptional value around the core of VersionPress which he says will remain free forever.</p>\n<h2>How to Follow the Project</h2>\n<p>VersionPress 3.0 beta marks the first major release in more than five months. It includes <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/docs/blob/3.0-release-notes/content/en/09-release-notes/75-3.0.md\">bug fixes and a number of enhancements</a>. You can follow the project&#8217;s progress <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/versionpress\">on GitHub</a> where you can also <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/support\">receive support</a>, browse <a href=\"https://github.com/versionpress/docs\">documentation</a>, and find access to their <a href=\"https://gitter.im/versionpress/versionpress\">Gitter room</a> for real-time communication.

On the Make WordPress Community blog, Andrea Middleton <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2016/04/05/a-new-way-to-track-the-status-of-wordcamp-applications/\">explains the changes</a> and what deputies can expect.</p>\n<p>Deputies are WordCamp Central volunteers who respond to WordCamp/meetup applications, conduct organizer orientations, and mentor organizers. They work behind the scenes to ensure events are run smoothly and adhere to the <a href=\"https://plan.wordcamp.org/become-an-organizer/representing-wordpress/\">WordPress Foundation&#8217;s guidelines</a>.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting to see how WordPress is helping the team organize submissions and streamlining the process. According to Middleton, incoming applications automatically create draft listings on WordCamp Central and receive the status &#8220;Needs Vetting.&#8221;</p>\n<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WordCampCentralApplicationProcess.png\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-53273\" src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/WordCampCentralApplicationProcess.png?resize=768%2C366\" alt=\"WordCamp Central Application Processing\" /></a>WordCamp Central Application Processing\n<p>As the team moves through the process of vetting, orientation, tools, budget reviews, etc, deputies make notes in the post editor which are attached to the application. The site makes use of custom post statuses which are applied based on the application&#8217;s progress. It also adds accountability by saving a change log to each WordCamp listing that indicates when the status is changed and who changed it.</p>\n<p>While this information is specific to those who work with WordCamp organizers, it provides a glimpse into the tools and processes volunteers use to coordinate events. It&#8217;s also a neat look into how handy <a href=\"https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Status\">custom post statuses</a> are.</p>\n<p>With all of the improvements to the backend, WordCamp and event organizers should experience fewer delays in response times.

Users who are blocked will no longer be able to open or comment on issues or pull requests, nor will they will not be able to add or edit any of the project&#8217;s wiki pages. Blocked users are also prevented from forking any of the organization&#8217;s repositories. Blocking goes beyond a simple warning and is a serious capability for project owners to use at their discretion.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/github-blocked-users.png\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/github-blocked-users.png?resize=1025%2C608\" alt=\"github-blocked-users\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53249\" /></a></p>\n<p>Many WordPress plugin authors opt to host their work on GitHub because of the burden of support on WordPress.org. When entitled users have unreasonably high expectations of the free support forum, they sometimes resort to abuse to try to force developers to assist them. At the very least, many abuse the star rating system and use it to communicate disappointment.</p>\n<p>While GitHub caters to a different type of user (usually developers), the site is not immune to abusive users. The new blocking capabilities were added to help project owners encourage positive contributions. One foul user who abuses contributors can poison the well and rob a team of its forward momentum.</p>\n<p>Open source projects often bring together a surprisingly varied array of personalities with differing opinions that can result in heated debates. On occasion, these kinds of conversations can devolve into ad hominem attacks and other unsavory comments. The definition of abuse will vary from project to project, but a definition in the project&#8217;s contributing file may help for the sake of transparency when blocking users. A record of which users have been blocked is added to the organization&#8217;s audit log, so this information is open and available to project contributors.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 05 Apr 2016 23:33:12 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:46;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WPTavern: Europe Tops WordCamp Growth in 2015 with 70% Increase in Events\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wptavern.com/?p=53048\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"http://wptavern.com/europe-tops-wordcamp-growth-in-2015-with-70-increase-in-events\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:4717:\"<a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wordpress-swag.jpg\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wordpress-swag.jpg?resize=1024%2C441\" alt=\"photo credit: Huasonic - cc\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17801\" /></a>photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/huasonic/3008912290/\">Huasonic</a> &#8211; <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/\">cc</a>\n<p>During the <a href=\"http://wptavern.com/state-of-the-word-2015-javascript-and-api-driven-interfaces-are-the-future-of-wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">2015 State of the Word address</a>, Matt Mullenweg shared a few stats that demonstrate the growth of the global WordPress community. A total of 89 WordCamps with 21,000 attendees were held across 34 countries in 2015.</p>\n<p>This week WordPress community organizer Andrea Middleton <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2016/03/30/wordcamps-in-2015-the-community-team-edition/\" target=\"_blank\">published a more thorough breakdown of 2015 stats</a>. She noted that while WordCamps have been steadily growing over the past five years, the increase is due to more numerous, smaller events. This kind of growth seems more in line with the intended purpose of WordCamps. Although a few camps stand out as large international events, most are meant to be low-key gatherings that bring together local communities.</p>\n<p>&#8220;We saw a huge jump in WordCamps held in Europe this year — from 17 in 2014 to 29 in 2015,&#8221; Middleton said. &#8220;And a whopping 18 WordPress communities organized their very first WordCamp last year.&#8221;</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In 9 months, the Italian <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/WordPress?src=hash\">#WordPress</a> community grew from 0 to 10 meetups and a WordCamp.

The event will be the largest WordCamp to date.</p>\n<p>In 2015, many of the largest WordCamps were held in the US but Europe and Japan also have events ranking in the top five. The ten largest WordCamps (based on number of tickets sold) in 2015 were as follows:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>WordCamp US</li>\n<li>WordCamp Tokyo</li>\n<li>WordCamp Europe</li>\n<li>WordCamp Kansai</li>\n<li>WordCamp NYC</li>\n<li>WordCamp London</li>\n<li>WordCamp Miami</li>\n<li>WordCamp Atlanta</li>\n<li>WordCamp Orlando</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The overall number of tickets sold for WordCamps worldwide is also steadily rising, from 13,000 in 2011 to 21,000 in 2015.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordcamps-2015-data.png\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wordcamps-2015-data.png?resize=1025%2C411\" alt=\"wordcamps-2015-data\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53231\" /></a></p>\n<p>As the global WordPress community continues to expand, the burden on WordCamp Central grows. Overseeing WordCamps and meetups is a full time job. In 2014, the WordPress Community Team established a deputies program to share the load and expanded the number of volunteers to 30 during 2015.</p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/community/2016/04/04/the-community-team-quarterly-report-january-march-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">first quarter report</a> for 2016, Middleton reported that the community team helped facilitate nine WordCamps with a total of nearly 4,500 tickets sold. WordCamp Central also signed <a href=\"https://central.wordcamp.org/news/2016/03/28/pantheon-joins-the-wordpress-global-community-sponsorship-program-in-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">Pantheon</a> and <a href=\"https://central.wordcamp.org/news/2016/03/26/godaddy-supports-wordpress-community-events-worldwide-in-2016/\" target=\"_blank\">GoDaddy</a> as global sponsors.</p>\n<p>There are already 24 WordCamps on the calendar for the April-June period and 14 more scheduled for the remaining quarters. Middleton also reported that 31 additional WordCamps have been approved are now in the pipeline at the pre-planning stage.</p>\n<p>&#8220;With WordCamp applications coming in at an average rate of 13 per month, it’s very likely that we’ll see more than 100 WordCamps in 2016,&#8221; she said.</p>\n<div id=\"epoch-width-sniffer\"></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 05 Apr 2016 20:26:56 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:47;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:50:\"WP Mobile Apps: WordPress for Android: Version 5.2\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:33:\"http://apps.wordpress.org/?p=3242\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:72:\"https://apps.wordpress.com/2016/04/05/wordpress-for-android-version-5-2/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3271:\"<p>Hello WordPress users! <a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wordpress.android\" target=\"_blank\">Version 5.2 of the WordPress for Android app</a> is now available in the Google Play Store.</p>\n<p>In version 5.2, you may notice a difference in font in the app: we replaced the Open Sans font in the UI with Roboto, the default Android font.

This release includes a couple of breaking changes, JavaScript client updates, and many other fixes and improvements.</p>\n<p>Developers who use the plugin in their projects can expect it to follow a more stable release cycle in the future, as beta 13 marks the last of the breaking changes. According to project lead Ryan McCue, the team plans to add new features to minor releases in the 2.x series and bugfix releases in the 2.0.x series.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Along these lines, we’re going to release a 2.0 final version in the coming months,&#8221; McCue said. &#8220;This will be a completely stable release with guaranteed backwards compatibility for the foreseeable future. This backwards compatibility ensures that your sites can remain up-to-date with minimal maintenance or issues with upgrading.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The beta release post also included an updated roadmap for the project. The team is not planning to put forward part two of their merge proposal, which would add the core endpoints, for WordPress 4.6. They will be holding off until WordPress 4.7 in hopes of gaining more users with the stable 2.0 release.</p>\n<blockquote><p>We believe endpoints for the main WordPress objects (posts, users, comments, terms, and taxonomies) are not enough to garner the support needed for the proposal to be accepted. Our hope is that with a stable version 2.0 release, we will attract our community members that have been waiting for the endpoints to be available in core, and submit a merge proposal for the WordPress 4.7 release cycle.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Although the greater WordPress development community is excited about the potential of the REST API, the contributor base remains relatively small and spread thin for the task of keeping pace with core. McCue, speaking on behalf of the team, said they are looking to get more help from WordPress core component maintainers as well as outside developers.</p>\n<p>&#8220;Moving forward, the API team sees our role as advisory over the API itself, with the API treated as an integral part of the component rather than maintained by a separate team,&#8221; McCue said. &#8220;We’re also going to continue to work on our feature plugins (metadata, site/multisite, menus/widgets, and authentication) in parallel, and are looking for help on these as well.&#8221;</p>\n<p>With the plugin approaching its 2.0 final version on a more stable path, it is a good time for new developers to get involved. The WP REST API team plans to allocate more time for mentoring and helping developers use the API.

This book is for those who would like to get to know themselves better but have not the time to manage a relationship with a therapist who is ignorant of philosophy and its importance in the modern world. After reading this book you will have more empathy for yourself, plenty of tools for self-therapy, and knowledge of the structure of your inner world.

They are told violence is highly stylistic and preferable. They are told submission to death is a great reward. They are nudging along into funnels and bottlenecks, like animals to be slaughtered. They are seduced by others who have submitted to death. They are given scapegoats to hate so that the voice of their conscience can be conveniently muzzled once more.</p>\n<p>As a result, people buckle under this influence. Some give way completely and join the skeleton death dance. Some, a great many who are supposedly on the \"side of good\", keep one foot in the grave and one foot in the march to life. But one foot in the grave is a sure way for necrosis to spread.</p>\n<p>To walk toward life means to feel light on our toes. There are days when we are discouraged, for sure, but it is OUR work to overcome the voices of discouragement in the world and continue to walk toward life. We want to burden others as little as possible, to pay them for their time if they help us, or to pay forward their graciousness in some manner than fully honors them.</p>\n<p>Sometimes, and oftentimes in the years to come, evildoers will pick off the innocent. They fly around in death machines, swoop down like hawks, and plow through the good many who have chosen life. We help those people as we can. It is a wicked arrangement. Too many people walked toward death for far too long and now the species is lopsided and vulnerable.</p>\n<p>We do well to honor the innocent who have fallen. We have to choose life in the way we honor them. Evermore, life is the only way to beget more life. Justice only comes if enough people choose life. Justice is a ways away.</p>\n<p>Covetousness, murder, false witness, stealing, idols, slavery, rape, adultery, all these behaviors lead to unnecessary suffering and death. Each of these have psychological, linguistic registers that billions are emitting in unison currently. Their horrifying harmonies are echoing through the world, amplified by machines and false moneys.</p>\n<p>The voice of childbirth, love, good deeds, true justice, order, virtue, peace and reconciliation, plentitude, understanding and forgiveness, and beauty is still quiet but growing. More and more people step off the path to death and instead choose life. Will it be enough to stave off selection events? Sadly, no. The selection events have arrived. The hallucinations the past generations reverberated out into the world have become reality. There\'s no sense in gazing into the void too long. It is present but there is another way. There exist yet many paths to life.</p>\n<p>This entry serves life. So will the next thing I do. And the next, after that. That is the choice we all have before us. The time for spreading goodness is here. Go to life. Join others in life. What we must do to serve life changes every day.

I was fascinated with the piano at my grandparents\' house and would sit at it and fiddle at it for long periods of time. Eventually I entered into regular piano lessons. These lasted for several years. At around age 10, I began to write variations on the songs I was learning. When I was 12 I received a few guitar lessons. I didn\'t care for them but I did work very hard to be able to sing and strum at the same time like some of my childhood inspirations: Gordon Lightfoot, John Stewart, Bruce Springsteen. At age 18, I began recording and performing publicly the songs I was writing. Since then, I have been exploring my inner world through music. I\'ve played in different bands and met a lot of wonderful people through this pursuit. I find songwriting to be an incredible tool for self-discovery. Singing enlivens me and activates my emotions like very few other activities ever have. Dance and body movement is also enlivening! The last aspect of my musical involvement is instrumental composition.\r\n\r\nI maintain a Soundcloud page <a href=\"https://soundcloud.com/stevensummerstone\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.','Music','','inherit','closed','closed','','28-revision-v1','','','2016-03-23 04:18:07','2016-03-23 04:18:07','',28,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/28-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(441,1,'2018-04-15 07:41:57','2018-04-15 14:41:57','','bebby','','inherit','closed','closed','','bebby','','','2018-04-15 07:41:57','2018-04-15 14:41:57','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/bebby.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(664,1,'2021-09-01 10:09:39','2021-09-01 17:09:39','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-662 alignnone\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/external-content.duckduckgo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"539\" height=\"274\" /></p>\n<p>People have a tremendous intuitive capacity inside of them that they lose contact with as \"shit happens\". Most people have it pounded out of them by their teenage years through the incorrect, harmful parenting that is commonplace. They also lose it because of television (a huge culprit), social media, and public schooling. In adulthood they further obscure it from themselves through the unending distractions profered to us by the rulers. Usually this is termed \"addiction\".<br />Sobriety is important in recovering one\'s intuitive feedback but it is not absolutely essential in the short run. You can breach contact here and there, as you remember to be human again. In the long run, you want a strong connection to that intuition-making core of yourself and consistency becomes essential.<br />Intuition, which I loosely term \"first feedback\" here, comes to you in your initial response to whatever you observe. Some people say it is a thought that occurs first and then a feeling. Some people say it is a feeling first and then a thought. I tend toward the former, that a thought occurs first and then you have a feeling.<br />Let\'s take a concrete example: your neighbor has a child that screams loudly at all points of the day. The observation occurs to you, through your ears. You have the thought, \"That damned kid again!\" and you feel anger. Right here is where you have to slow things down. Everyone and their grandma plays the \"should game\". They say to themselves, \"I should not feel angry\" or \"I should retaliate\" or \"I should try to help the kid\" or something else. In come the \"shoulds\". This is the propaganda and training we\'ve been saddled with in our development. People really do take their social cues from the TV shows and movies they watch and it has been a total disaster for the species. Most people don\'t even notice the anger. It flares up in them for a split second and then off they go to \"shoulds\" and solutions. The fact remains that there was the thought, \"That damned kid again!\" and anger. That\'s fact.

Usually, it beckons us to self-knowledge. If you quiet down all your ways of managing difficult experiences and actually just sit with the thought and feeling, you will get childhood memories come up. Maybe you were the noisy child on the block. Maybe you had experiences in relation to the noisy child on the block. Maybe you learn about yourself that you\'re angry at yourself for moving where you did. Or you learn that you\'re disappointed with the new neighbors and would like to assert to them your concern about the child.<br />Intuition does not mean we are paralyzed. It means we are building upon our initial response to things with logic and curiosity, as opposed to compulsivity, stress, and the desperate need to make things more comfortable that people walk around with. All that is inflicted into us.<br />Let\'s take another example: a young man listens to music that makes him sad. He hears the music, thinks \"this reminds me of my father\" and then feels a sinking sadness. We have been trained by modernity to get as far away from reflecting on our genuine experiences of our parents as possible. So the young man dissociates into abstraction. He is taken by some particular aspect of the instrumentation. Or he says to himself, \"I always like to look out the window and doze off when I listen to sad music.\" Or he tries to fall in love with the woman singing the song. He doesn\'t notice he is anchored to the music because he has a need to resolve some aspect of how his father affected him, once upon a time. He does not stop the song and listen to his sadness instead. The sadness has something to tell him, just like the anger over the kid yelling earlier had something to tell that person.</p>\n<p>When people initially dig into first feedback, they will find there is a huge backlog of feedback that is directly related to the sorrow of their histories. For some, this is just too much to bear and so they attack the messenger, me usually but also the truth-bringer aspect of themselves, and return to unconscious living. This is why starting one\'s self-knowledge journey as early as possible is important. People in middle age really do have so much pain in them that even dipping one toe into the pool can feel like unbearable fire. Younger people have a better chance. They\'re more impressionable. They\'re less corrupt. They\'ve done less to hurt others. They\'re not as far into the rationalizations for their addictions. But anyone of any age can listen to that first feedback and get something accomplished. Sometimes the true voice in a person will erupt and guide someone to safety. Or it will tell them of their moral failures (quarter, mid, and late-life crises). People may have a dream that grips them and then they do something slightly different from there on out that others notice (\"Bob whistles with his morning coffee now!\"). Or people in a place of danger who have neglected the danger for too long will have a death premonition that rocks them and they pack up and leave for somewhere else. People who become severely obese often have a sustained burst of authenticity that drags them back to a healthy weight whereupon some of them continuing living more in-contact with their intuition whereas others will simply maintain a holding pattern and comfort themselves with the new sense of normalcy, superior to the old. Drug addicts will have a moment of clarity and then sober up.<br />We can have our \"moment of clarity\" every single day, if we so choose. We can have it minute to minute, hour to hour, if we practice listening to the first feedback sufficiently. A self-knowledgeable person is not merely someone who has done an extensive survey of their personal history. This kind of psychology has been championed in the past four years by \"Jungians\" but it is a tired old trick. First feedback ties a person\'s lived experiences to the personal history, and much more, rendering the person into someone of personal and moral excellence. Our initial response will often inform us of courage. We go with the instinct and brave the odds of being someone who bucks the social trend in order to live true. Some people know enough to listen but then they don\'t DO what they hear. These people become neurotic, self-justifying cowards over time who use self-knowledge to manipulate others - usually to throw attention off of themselves because they\'re ashamed of not having walked in the fire.<br />All that is very advanced though. You\'ll get to that eventually, if you keep \"walking into the mystery\" as I mentioned on this website recently. Being true to our initial responses will upend our social order, our working lives, sometimes where we live, how we choose to express ourselves, and what we take an interest in. It will cut away all the nonsense in our lives and leave us as moral, healthy, REAL human beings. Dealing with these changes requires a great deal of tolerating uncertainty. Uncertainty is uncomfortable! It is especially uncomfortable for people who have no interest in self-knowledge. Much of self-knowledge is a private, reflective process - which is the upside. If it\'s a healthy process, why would it involve you exposing yourself to unneccessary danger or suffering? That just means something wasn\'t as parsed through as it could have been.<br />To go a bit superficial, what if the music we listen to keeps us in a cage of someone else\'s madness? What if the clothes we were disappoint us and tire us? What if the job we work is massively intolerable and we become elusive pricks to ourselves in order to \"hang in there\"? What if the car we drive scares us with its constant threat of needing costly repairs? What if being in debt makes us feel supplicant and pathetic whenever our boss walks by? What if that pair of shoes we\'re deeply sentimentally attached to actually hurts the tendons in our feet? What if all those runs we go on to outrun the emotional pain leave us aching and distracted from the real pain? What if we raise our voice at people in order to keep from realizing they\'re right?

The real feedback is the first thought and the emotion, not all the whirly-gig stressy stuff that takes over if we don\'t make the effort to slow time down and observe with curiosity what has just happened. Our betterment lies through self-reflection. We will hear things we don\'t like. We will have feelings of patheticness, rage, remorse, self-reproach, and so on. We hang steady, stay curious, and help those aspects of ourselves by uncovering a memory, having a realization, changing how we do things, improving our treatment of others, grieving what we did or what we lost, or by adopting new ethics in business.

Let\'s break it down:<br />-Person A does something Person B does not approve of<br />-Person B has some uncomfortable feeling, immediately attributes feeling to other person, says, \"You\'re making me feel x, y, z!\"<br />The you-made-me game falls flat on its face, every single time. It\'s a losing pattern for conflict resolution. There are a number of reasons for this, the primary being that no one can \"make\" you feel anything. No one can reach inside your head, move the atoms and neurons and protons around in a special configuration, and then energize them into some recognizable pattern that is a feeling. Adults are separate beings. They don\'t have superpowers to imbue others with mood states. Saying that someone, who you\'re in voluntary relationship with, has that kind of power over you grants them a superpower they do not possess.<br />Certainly, people can push your buttons in the anticipation that you\'ll feel this way or that. That\'s manipulation but you are an autonomous person who can figure out manipulation and then respond with your own free will.<br />We have to take a moment here to qualify that the child-to-parent relationship is not voluntary. A child doesn\'t choose to be born and doesn\'t get to choose their parents. And also, the subject-to-ruler relationship is not voluntary, either. Some people recreate these dynamics in their adult, voluntary relationships but that\'s an aberration to clear up, not an operating ethos.</p>\n<p>Another reason why the you-made-me game falls flat on its face is because it\'s petty. People litigate each other out of unconscious habit because it\'s the only way to get anything in socialist societies and in childhood homes where there weren\'t enough love resources to go around. People just accept the norms of their degraded cultures and bludgeon their personal relationships with all sorts of bad habits. The you-made-me game is particularly petty from a man to a woman because in natural, biological terms, it is the man who sets the direction of the relationship. When he plays this game on a woman, he is probably needing to admit he felt powerless with his mother and now needs to repeat the pattern in adulthood in order to become aware of it again and then resolve it.</p>\n<p>People rake each other over the coals for all sorts of trespasses. A man gets with a woman. Finds out she had a sexual partner, or a few, before him, and immediately sets about making his own reaction to the observation HER problem. No curiosity. Or the man goes out with his buddies for some fun, the woman feels anxious because she\'s been abandoned before under similar circumstances, and starts pestering the man over the phone until she feels she has power again in the relationship. No curiosity.<br />People are so ready to make their own problems the problem of the other person. You made me! No, a person\'s parents made them, then circumstances formed them, and now they make themselves as adults.<br />This is not a get-out-of-jail-free pass for readers to go and do unethical things and scoff when the other person has a negative experience of the relationship.</p>\n<p>This is a call to slow conflict down, as usual, and get back to describing first feedback - as mentioned in the previous post on this website. Let\'s take the earlier example and revamp it with this new concept:<br />1. Person A does something Person B does not approve of<br />2. Person B has some uncomfortable feeling, self-reflects on the pain/discomfort/frustration/anger/etc.</p>\n<p>This is similar to Stefan Molyneux\'s Real Time Relationships but he advised people to share the feedback reflexively in the interests of \"making the relationship more honest\". This roped people into all sorts of relational obligations that over time, wore all RTR relationships out. It assumed all relationships need pressure placed upon them to \"become more honest\" every single time there was an emotional triggering.<br />This third step is where my approach differs wildly from Stefan\'s book, who said stuff in it like that he changes his own behavior in anticipation of his wife having a negative experience of him:</p>\n<p>3. Person B decides if feeling is related to relationship, childhood, a mix of both</p>\n<p>We have to allow that simply because we are having a negative experience of something, does not mean that the other person is in a condition where we need to act to influence the relationship to \"be more honest\". There\'s a term, eustress, that is important to introduce here. Eustress is the stress of growing. Growing pains are real. They\'re not something that has to be shared every time there is a \"negative experience\". Such people who did do this with Molyneux\'s book in mind became insufferable wet blankets who had to be propped up every time someone around them took a healthy risk or did something daring, relative to the person\'s own security-in-themselves levels.</p>\n<p>For people to have a successful voluntary, personal relationship as adults, they need to be bound together in truth. You can only meet in reality. Coming together in an honest manner means that each person is committed, personally and separately from anything to do with one another, to improving and learning according to universal truth principles. When this is the standard for living, people more easily can identify for themselves that a person is trying something out for the sake of their own learning and moral improvement or if they\'re up to some BS. Christianity as the dominant ethics of Western Civilization made this all flow so easily because everyone lived for Jesus and such ethics weren\'t up for much interpretation, if any.<br />Let\'s say a person is up to some BS and your response to their input isn\'t eustress, you still can\'t be too conclusive about your feedback. \"You\'re up to BS!\" you say, with righteousness and then off to Fightville you go. No, we have to have a measure of acceptance that something has come to pass and we are addressing our own experience, not attempting to control the other person. Attempts to control don\'t work. Telling people what to do, doesn\'t work. Adopting a collaborative spirit, kicking around ideas (that include our own emotional feedback AFTER we\'ve parsed it for ourselves), and remaining vulnerable and curious <em>do</em> work.<br />That third step, deciding if the feeling is related to the relationship, our childhoods, or a mix of both is so important. We each know ourselves best of all. You know yourself best. I know myself best. Distinguishing the aspects of an emotional experience that relate to the relationship directly and what is reminiscent of our childhood, spares the other person from us setting our own \"childhood trap\" on them every time we broach feedback with a person. Read that sentence again. They have no obligation to hear us out on our childhoods, simply because they did something that we feel upset in response to. People serve the relationship a lot better when they share childhood memories as a way of spending the time, not as a to-do every time there\'s the beginnings of conflict forming.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go with a concrete example to illustrate this:<br />1. Woman feels anxious about man\'s drinking, thought is that he\'s losing control.<br />2. Reflects on anxiety, discovers it is fear connecting to a memory of her father being an abusive drunk.<br />3. Helps herself to take care of the inner child who had to live with an abusive drunk.<br />4. Feels more at peace with own history. Stops projecting onto man that just cause he\'s drinking, means he will inevitably become abusive - even <em>if</em> he <em>is</em> losing control.<br />5. Decides <em>when</em> to broach feedback with her man, as a person who less scarred by a historically abusive drunken father. Might be as the guy is drinking (which may put her right back in the situation she was in as a child), or might be when her own inner child tells her is a good time.</p>\n<p>Do you see how with vulnerability with <em>ourselves</em> as the touchpoint for all emotional experiences, we can take care of ourselves accurately and then allow that to flow into our relationships at our discretion?</p>\n<p>Let\'s take another concrete example:<br />1. Woman slams door.<br />2. Man feels annoyed, thought is that she\'s being brutish.<br />3. Reflects on annoyance, own mother was graceful. Nothing really coming up and not because of dissociation.<br />4. In spirit of collaboration and curiosity, approaches woman and asks her what was going on for her when she slammed door.<br />5a. She reflects upon her own experience honestly and then there\'s some discussion about the \"art\" of moving around the home or maybe her childhood or maybe a frustration she has with him, to which they each will respond with self-reflection.<br />5b. She reacts, doesn\'t reflect on the feeling, and launches into some unproductive game - like the you-made-me-feel game or the explain-someone-else\'s-emotions-to-them game.</p>\n<p>We have emotional responses to each other, all the time. We need to stay sober about the distinction of our own emotional experience and another person\'s emotional experience. Conflict can only be resolved with that basic distinction. A commitment to learning, and improving ethically, keeps us collaborative and pulls the relationship out of high stakes. People walk around with fears, insecurities, angers, and rages, irrespective of what another person is feeling. Other people\'s behaviors provoke memories for us that are associated with our histories and particular emotions but that does not mean the other person <em>made</em> us feel how we feel.</p>\n<p>We can be reactive, stressy minefields and rope each other into emotionally exhausting patch-up work or we can be responsive, self-reflective people who share the \"flavor of the interaction\" with one another in a non-defended and non-obligatory way. We\'re not each others\' therapists. We are each working out, figuring out, sorting out, and such. Little but a nauseous repetition of history gets accomplished when we place our emotional states on the plate of another person in an expectant manner, whether it\'s highly reactive or in a well thought-out but philosophically misguided manner.<br />You get to figure out your own responses to things and then decide how best to serve the relationship\'s intimacy. Will you make it beautiful with something lovely and parsed out? Will you infantilize it by granting someone the power that only your parent in childhood had? Will you exhaust it by modifying your behavior in anticipation of someone else\'s negative experience, which may or may not be rooted in their own childhood and not in your behavior itself?

Let\'s break it down:<br />-Person A does something Person B does not approve of<br />-Person B has some uncomfortable feeling, immediately attributes feeling to other person, says, \"You\'re making me feel x, y, z!\"<br />The you-made-me game falls flat on its face, every single time. It\'s a losing pattern for conflict resolution. There are a number of reasons for this, the primary being that no one can \"make\" you feel anything. No one can reach inside your head, move the atoms and neurons and protons around in a special configuration, and then energize them into some recognizable pattern that is a feeling. Adults are separate beings. They don\'t have superpowers to imbue others with mood states. Saying that someone, who you\'re in voluntary relationship with, has that kind of power over you grants them a superpower they do not possess.<br />Certainly, people can push your buttons in the anticipation that you\'ll feel this way or that. That\'s manipulation but you are an autonomous person who can figure out manipulation and then respond with your own free will.<br />We have to take a moment here to qualify that the parent-child relationship is not voluntary. A child doesn\'t choose to be born and doesn\'t get to choose their parents. And also, the ruler to subject relationship is not voluntary, either. Some people recreate these dynamics in their adult, voluntary relationships but that\'s an aberration to clear up, not an operating ethos.</p>\n<p>Another reason why the you-made-me game falls flat on its face is because it\'s petty. People litigate each other out of unconscious habit because it\'s the only way to get anything in socialist societies and in childhood homes where there weren\'t enough love resources to go around. People just accept the norms of their degraded cultures and bludgeon their personal relationships with all sorts of bad habits. The you-made-me game is particularly petty from a man to a woman because in natural, biological terms, it is the man who sets the direction of the relationship. When he plays this game on a woman, he is probably needing to admitting he felt powerless with his mother and now needs to repeat the pattern in adulthood in order to become aware of it again and then resolve it.</p>\n<p>People rake each other over the coals for all sorts of trespasses. A man gets with a woman. Finds out she had a sexual partner, or a few, before him, and immediately sets about making his own reaction to the observation HER problem. No curiosity. Or the man goes out with his buddies for some fun, the woman feels anxious because she\'s been abandoned before under similar circumstances, and starts pestering the man over the phone until she feels she has power again in the relationship. No curiosity.<br />People are so ready to make their own problems the problem of the other person. You made me! No, a person\'s parents made them, then circumstances formed them, and now they make themselves as adults.<br />This is not a get-out-of-jail-free pass for readers to go and do unethical things and scoff when the other person has a negative experience of the relationship.</p>\n<p>This is a call to slow conflict down, as usual, and get back to describing first feedback - as mentioned in the previous post on this website. Let\'s take the earlier example and revamp it with this new concept:<br />1. Person A does something Person B does not approve of<br />2. Person B has some uncomfortable feeling, self-reflects on the pain/discomfort/frustration/anger/etc.</p>\n<p>This is similar to Stefan Molyneux\'s Real Time Relationships but he advised people to share the feedback reflexively in the interests of \"making the relationship more honest\". This roped people into all sorts of relational obligations that over time, wore all RTR relationships out. It assumed all relationships need pressure placed upon them to \"become more honest\" every single time there was an emotional triggering.<br />This third step is where my approach differs wildly from Stefan\'s book, who said stuff in it like that he changes his own behavior in anticipation of his wife having a negative experience of him:</p>\n<p>3. Person B decides if feeling is related to relationship, childhood, a mix of both</p>\n<p>We have to allow that simply because we are having a negative experience of something, does not mean that the other person is in a condition where we need to act to influence the relationship to \"be more honest\". There\'s a term, eustress, that is important to introduce here. Eustress is the stress of growing. Growing pains are real. They\'re not something that has to be shared every time there is a \"negative experience\". Such people who did do this with Molyneux\'s book in mind became insufferable wet blankets who had to be propped up every time someone around them took a healthy risk or did something daring, relative to the person\'s own security-in-themselves levels.</p>\n<p>For people to have a successful voluntary, personal relationship as adults, they need to be bound together in truth.

Christianity as the dominant ethics of Western Civilization made this all flow so easily because everyone lived for Jesus and such ethics weren\'t up for much interpretation, if any.<br />Let\'s say a person is up to some BS and your response to their input isn\'t eustress, you still can\'t be too conclusive about your feedback. \"You\'re up to BS!\" you say, with righteousness and then off to Fightville you go. No, we have to have a measure of acceptance that something has come to pass and we are addressing our own experience, not attempting to control the other person. Attempts to control don\'t work. Telling people what to do, doesn\'t work. Adopting a collaborative spirit, kicking around ideas (that include our own emotional feedback AFTER we\'ve parsed it for ourselves), and remaining vulnerable and curious <em>do</em> work.<br />That third step, deciding if the feeling is related to the relationship, our childhoods, or a mix of both is so important. We each know ourselves best of all. You know yourself best. I know myself best. Distinguishing the aspects of an emotional experience that relate to the relationship directly and what is reminiscent of our childhood, spares the other person from us setting our own \"childhood trap\" on them every time we broach feedback with a person. Read that sentence again. They have no obligation to hear us out on our childhoods, simply because they did something that we feel upset in response to. People serve the relationship a lot better when they share childhood memories as a way of spending the time, not as a to-do every time there\'s the beginnings of conflict forming.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go with a concrete example to illustrate this:<br />1. Woman feels anxious about man\'s drinking, thought is that he\'s losing control.<br />2. Reflects on anxiety, discovers it is fear connecting to a memory of her father being an abusive drunk.<br />3. Helps herself to take care of the inner child who had to live with an abusive drunk.<br />4. Feels more at peace with own history. Stops projecting onto man that just cause he\'s drinking, means he will inevitably become abusive - even <em>if</em> he <em>is</em> losing control.<br />5. Decides <em>when</em> to broach feedback with her man, as a person who less scarred by a historically abusive drunken father. Might be as the guy is drinking (which may put her right back in the situation she was in as a child), or might be when her own inner child tells her is a good time.</p>\n<p>Do you see how with vulnerability with <em>ourselves</em> as the touchpoint for all emotional experiences, we can take care of ourselves accurately and then allow that to flow into our relationships at our discretion?</p>\n<p>Let\'s take another concrete example:<br />1.

Nothing really coming up and not because of dissociation.<br />4. In spirit of collaboration and curiosity, approaches woman and asks her what was going on for her when she slammed door.<br />5a. She reflects upon her own experience honestly and then there\'s some discussion about the \"art\" of moving around the home or maybe her childhood or maybe a frustration she has with him, to which they each will respond with self-reflection.<br />5b.

We need to stay sober about the distinction of our own emotional experience and another person\'s emotional experience. Conflict can only be resolved with that basic distinction. A commitment to learning, and improving ethically, keeps us collaborative and pulls the relationship out of high stakes. People walk around with fears, insecurities, angers, and rages, irrespective of what another person is feeling. Other people\'s behaviors provoke memories for us that are associated with our histories and particular emotions but that does not mean the other person <em>made</em> us feel how we feel.</p>\n<p>We can be reactive, stressy minefields and rope each other into emotionally exhausting patch-up work or we can be responsive, self-reflective people who share the \"flavor of the interaction\" with one another in a non-defended and non-obligatory way.

Little but a nauseous repetition of history gets accomplished when we place our emotional states on the plate of another person in an expectant manner, whether it\'s highly reactive or in a well thought-out but philosophically misguided manner.<br />You get to figure out your own responses to things and then decide how best to serve the relationship\'s intimacy. Will you make it beautiful with something lovely and parsed out? Will you infantilize it by granting someone the power that only your parent in childhood had?

Let\'s break it down:<br />-Person A does something Person B does not approve of<br />-Person B has some uncomfortable feeling, immediately attributes feeling to other person, says, \"You\'re making me feel x, y, z!\"<br />The you-made-me game falls flat on its face, every single time. It\'s a losing pattern for conflict resolution. There are a number of reasons for this, the primary being that no one can \"make\" you feel anything. No one can reach inside your head, move the atoms and neurons and protons around in a special configuration, and then energize them into some recognizable pattern that is a feeling. Adults are separate beings. They don\'t have superpowers to imbue others with mood states. Saying that someone, who you\'re in voluntary relationship with, has that kind of power over you grants them a superpower they do not possess.<br />Certainly, people can push your buttons in the anticipation that you\'ll feel this way or that. That\'s manipulation but you are an autonomous person who can figure out manipulation and then respond with your own free will.<br />We have to take a moment here to qualify that the child-to-parent relationship is not voluntary. A child doesn\'t choose to be born and doesn\'t get to choose their parents. And also, the subject-to-ruler relationship is not voluntary, either. Some people recreate these dynamics in their adult, voluntary relationships but that\'s an aberration to clear up, not an operating ethos.</p>\n<p>Another reason why the you-made-me game falls flat on its face is because it\'s petty. People litigate each other out of unconscious habit because it\'s the only way to get anything in socialist societies and in childhood homes where there weren\'t enough love resources to go around. People just accept the norms of their degraded cultures and bludgeon their personal relationships with all sorts of bad habits. The you-made-me game is particularly petty from a man to a woman because in natural, biological terms, it is the man who sets the direction of the relationship. When he plays this game on a woman, he is probably needing to admit he felt powerless with his mother and now needs to repeat the pattern in adulthood in order to become aware of it again and then resolve it.</p>\n<p>People rake each other over the coals for all sorts of trespasses. A man gets with a woman. Finds out she had a sexual partner, or a few, before him, and immediately sets about making his own reaction to the observation HER problem. No curiosity. Or the man goes out with his buddies for some fun, the woman feels anxious because she\'s been abandoned before under similar circumstances, and starts pestering the man over the phone until she feels she has power again in the relationship. No curiosity.<br />People are so ready to make their own problems the problem of the other person. You made me! No, a person\'s parents made them, then circumstances formed them, and now they make themselves as adults.<br />This is not a get-out-of-jail-free pass for readers to go and do unethical things and scoff when the other person has a negative experience of the relationship.</p>\n<p>This is a call to slow conflict down, as usual, and get back to describing first feedback - as mentioned in the previous post on this website. Let\'s take the earlier example and revamp it with this new concept:<br />1. Person A does something Person B does not approve of<br />2. Person B has some uncomfortable feeling, self-reflects on the pain/discomfort/frustration/anger/etc.</p>\n<p>This is similar to Stefan Molyneux\'s Real Time Relationships but he advised people to share the feedback reflexively in the interests of \"making the relationship more honest\". This roped people into all sorts of relational obligations that over time, wore all RTR relationships out. It assumed all relationships need pressure placed upon them to \"become more honest\" every single time there was an emotional triggering.<br />This third step is where my approach differs wildly from Stefan\'s book, who said stuff in it like that he changes his own behavior in anticipation of his wife having a negative experience of him:</p>\n<p>3. Person B decides if feeling is related to relationship, childhood, a mix of both</p>\n<p>We have to allow that simply because we are having a negative experience of something, does not mean that the other person is in a condition where we need to act to influence the relationship to \"be more honest\". There\'s a term, eustress, that is important to introduce here. Eustress is the stress of growing. Growing pains are real. They\'re not something that has to be shared every time there is a \"negative experience\". Such people who did do this with Molyneux\'s book in mind became insufferable wet blankets who had to be propped up every time someone around them took a healthy risk or did something daring, relative to the person\'s own security-in-themselves levels.</p>\n<p>For people to have a successful voluntary, personal relationship as adults, they need to be bound together in truth. You can only meet in reality. Coming together in an honest manner means that each person is committed, personally and separately from anything to do with one another, to improving and learning according to universal truth principles. When this is the standard for living, people more easily can identify for themselves that a person is trying something out for the sake of their own learning and moral improvement or if they\'re up to some BS.

We don\'t have time to go into that. For the purpose of this topic, it\'s worth mentioning that schools do literally nothing to know and foster special interests in a child. The fundamental basis of especially public schooling is to churn out compliant conformists who will work menial jobs or accept universal basic income and pose no difficulties to the banking oligarchy. There is no articulation of what is unique in a child. It\'s a one-size-fits-all approach to pedagogy.</p>\n<p>In helping our kids, we want to give them compliments and encouragement that contain:<br />A) an accurate or relatively accurate assessment of the pursuit they have devoted themselves to, however basic<br />B) an accurate understanding of how they have done well, relative to how they did before<br />C) an informative stance toward the child meant to enrich their consciousness with further articulation of the pursuit, holding an understanding of their level of enjoyment and an openness to them trying something else</p>\n<p>With these three components, we see that children become:<br />-more secure in taking healthy risks<br />-more ACCURATELY confident in their pursuits<br />-more resilient in the face of inevitable criticism from the broader world (and perhaps in the home)<br />-more knowledgeable of the art and discipline involved in all manner of pursuits</p>\n<p>It is so important that we give our children more and more context for what they are doing, what they may do in the future, and how the world corresponds and interacts with this. As they grow up, our children venture further and further into the social matrix but ONLY if they have a strong foundation of encouragement (through compliments and plain good old fashioned parental love) and an actual grasp of important, relevant skills that will help them to be competitive and secure in their own lives.</p>\n<p>As an experiment, and without taking the stance of a parent fostering another, give a few compliments to the people in your life in a similar drift as outlined here. Don\'t make them aware of what you\'re doing beforehand. Just give it a whirl and see what happens. People will love you for it!</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Kids And Compliments','','inherit','closed','closed','','729-revision-v1','','','2021-10-13 09:20:59','2021-10-13 16:20:59','',729,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=730',0,'revision','',0),(82,1,'2016-03-23 05:35:16','2016-03-23 05:35:16','','Ze','','inherit','closed','closed','','ze','','','2016-03-23 05:35:16','2016-03-23 05:35:16','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Ze.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(731,1,'2021-10-13 14:51:58','2021-10-13 21:51:58','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>Are you an <strong><em>under-30,</em></strong> <strong><em>single woman</em></strong> who is looking for a man to start a family with?</p>\n<p>Write me at stevefranssen@protonmail.com with your age, country, ethnicity, a picture or two, a brief description of what you\'re looking for, and any other information you think relevant to your search.

There are a variety of reasons this happens.</p>\n<p>One of the foremost reasons for creative struggles is the Inner Critic. Everyone has a moderating instinct, to one degree or another, in them. When people did not moderate, people tended to die before procreating. Over time, we have emerged thanks to our self-moderation. This tendency can be over calibrated and we suffer. We had critical parents or we went through overly critical schooling. Pro-civilizational strategies were not categorized and elucidated to us. We simply learned to follow the herd and to avoid punishment. All things were grey. Nothing good comes out of this milieu. It has to be challenged! Anti-traditional radicals will challenge it, sometimes, but they challenge the norm but dragging it down even further. The Critic often permits this because there\'s more to complain about later.</p>\n<p>Dealing with the Inner Critic in a sober, accurate way means understanding that while the Critic seeks to keep us safe, we need to strike up a balance where we can build up new structures in life. A policy of contraction and isolation is only appropriate to evil doers. Simply experimenting and trying to be creative is not an evil, despite what the norm has established and despite the hysterical protestations of some powerful people. The Inner Critic, if it is over calibrated, can trigger a harsh backlash of destructive rebellion that is not even in the interests of the Inner Critic. Censorship leads to chaos. In chaos, anything can go and often does. We need balance. We need to live in a way where ethics does not get thrown out the window.</p>\n<p>Another blockage to creativity that people experience is that they live in a state of dishonesty with themselves. An over calibrated Inner Critic is a form of dishonesty. To pepper oneself with constant anxieties, constraints, and woes is a form of slavery. Other kinds of dishonesty include nursing some illusion in an important personal relationship, engaging in unproductive conflict with others, or mistreating one\'s body. Combative people aren\'t always outwardly combative. Oftentimes, they beat themselves up.</p>\n<p>One more issue people come up against with creativity is that they overattribute things to their creativity. They pin too many hopes on it, far too soon in the process. This is a form of grandiosity, certainty about things that are not certain. A rare few seem to just plow forward in this manner, not that this is useful for the world, but most people crumble under the weight of expectations. Our world is insanely cruel to people who are young, daydreaming, and tending to their hobbies. Let the small be small and the grand be grand. Let people find their way but give the people the freedom of knowing humility and hard work. This cannot happen by edict or centralization of power. It can only happen through mentorship and a voluntary adherence to form. We desperately need the guild and apprenticeship system to return to the world. The universities and the government are drowning all genuine human innovation. Everything is becoming a weapons system.</p>\n<p>One last issue that people run into with creativity is that they get a case of the \"shoulds\". They say to themselves, \"My creativity <em>should</em> be exactly like so and so\'s.\" They seek to conform or to imitate, not because they are learning skills, but because they have a vain attachment to outcomes. Creativity does not work this way. Sure, we borrow from others that came before us, but what\'s done has been done. We need the openness to new associations in order to stay in the \"flow\".</p>\n<p>Creativity does not mean everyone becomes a painter and wears a French beret. A miner may be creative. A plumber may be creative (although hopefully not too much!) A banker may be creative (again, hopefully not too much!) Everyone has a chance to be creative. It is not an attribute solely left up to \"the creatives\". Some people, maybe because of genetics, seem to have a lot more of it. That\'s simply how it goes. Everyone has their natural strengths to discover. Only freedom permits everyone the space to find these strengths. Constriction, taxation, social control, and unending debt are political manifestations of the rotten things people do to themselves in order to squelch creativity.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-737\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tim-allen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"736\" height=\"244\" /></p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','People Who Struggle With Creativity','','publish','closed','closed','','people-who-struggle-with-creativity','','','2021-10-18 09:39:43','2021-10-18 16:39:43','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=734',0,'post','',0),(86,0,'2016-03-23 18:54:40','2016-03-23 18:54:40','','Courtney Meadows','','refunded','closed','closed','','courtney-meadows','','','2016-03-23 18:57:50','2016-03-23 18:57:50','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?post_type=edd_payment&#038;p=86',0,'edd_payment','',0),(91,1,'2016-03-24 04:07:21','2016-03-24 04:07:21','','Band Of Visionaries Soundtrack','','publish','closed','closed','','band-of-visionaries-soundtrack','','','2016-03-26 16:18:25','2016-03-26 16:18:25','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?post_type=download&#038;p=91',0,'download','',0),(92,1,'2016-03-23 19:10:20','2016-03-23 19:10:20','\"Braving the Desolation Within\" from Band Of Visionaries Soundtrack by Steven Franssen.

the last of an $18 bag of macadamia nuts with my kid and felt particularly satisfied with life for a few minutes. I had kept this bag of macadamia nuts for a couple of months, waiting for a \"rainy day\" to eat it. My wife brought it out from the pantry two weeks ago and we\'d all been snacking on it since.</p>\n<p>I thought about how when I bought this bag, it was a gift to my future self - something to enjoy when the time was right.</p>\n<p>Then I thought about the totally electric <a href=\"https://video.foxnews.com/v/6284404796001#sp=show-clips\">Michael Saylor interview</a> that aired this week on Tucker Carlson Today. In the interview, he describes fiat and all asset classes preceding Bitcoin to have amounted to the same was \"building with sand\". We have never before had a perfect store of value and so intergenerational wealth has been fleeting and easily stolen.</p>\n<p>That\'s a big zoom out but that\'s why Michael Saylor is the man. He gets the big picture. I\'m simply talking today about macadamia nuts and my undying, fervent zeal for their delectability.</p>\n<p>You want to gift things to your future self. There are a million and one ways to do it. For my honeymoon, I went to Cancun. I still think about that trip at least once a week. It was a sunshine moment in my life. Or for example, I spent the better part of three years in my late 20\'s rebuilding my shot mechanics to match Stephen Curry\'s and when I catch fire now in my mid 30\'s, the form has a noticeable effect on people\'s willingness to pass to me. The painstaking thought, time investment in drills and posture work still show themselves sometimes, though I am out of practice with basketball in general. Or the choice to buy several copies of the same pair of shoes in order to be shorn for years to come.</p>\n<p>There is always some investment you can make in yourself that will pay dividends down the line. What will you come to appreciate as you age? Who will you get to share your hard won advances with?

This applies to all things, whether it\'s regular exercise, home improvement, touching base with people and being useful to them, or updating knowledge bases. I like to see general improvement.

If we did not live in a world financial order where debt could be conjured out of thin air, people would have to focus on building upon what already is. The way things were a hundred years ago would not be seen as some crazy ideology but rather a set of circumstances that needed articulation and improvement, according to philosophical standards.

There are a variety of reasons this happens.</p>\n<p>One of the foremost reasons for creative struggles is the Inner Critic. Everyone has a moderating instinct, to one degree or another, in them. When people did not moderate, people tended to die before procreating. Over time, we have emerged thanks to our self-moderation. This tendency can be over calibrated and we suffer. We had critical parents or we went through overly critical schooling. Pro-civilizational strategies were not categorized and elucidated to us. We simply learned to follow the herd and to avoid punishment. All things were grey. Nothing good comes out of this milieu. It has to be challenged! Anti-traditional radicals will challenge it, sometimes, but they challenge the norm but dragging it down even further. The Critic often permits this because there\'s more to complain about later.</p>\n<p>Dealing with the Inner Critic in a sober, accurate way means understanding that while the Critic seeks to keep us safe, we need to strike up a balance where we can build up new structures in life. A policy of contraction and isolation is only appropriate to evil doers. Simply experimenting and trying to be creative is not an evil, despite what the norm has established and despite the hysterical protestations of some powerful people. The Inner Critic, if it is over calibrated, can trigger a harsh backlash of destructive rebellion that is not even in the interests of the Inner Critic. Censorship leads to chaos. In chaos, anything can go and often does. We need balance. We need to live in a way where ethics does not get thrown out the window.</p>\n<p>Another blockage to creativity that people experience is that they live in a state of dishonesty with themselves. An over calibrated Inner Critic is a form of dishonesty. To pepper oneself with constant anxieties, constraints, and woes is a form of slavery. Other kinds of dishonesty include nursing some illusion in an important personal relationship, engaging in unproductive conflict with others, or mistreating one\'s body. Combative people aren\'t always outwardly combative. Oftentimes, they beat themselves up.</p>\n<p>One more issue people come up against with creativity is that they overattribute things to their creativity. They pin too many hopes on it, far too soon in the process. This is a form of grandiosity, certainty about things that are not certain. A rare few seem to just plow forward in this manner, not that this is useful for the world, but most people crumble under the weight of expectations. Our world is insanely cruel to people who are young, daydreaming, and tending to their hobbies. Let the small be small and the grand be grand. Let people find their way but give the people the freedom of knowing humility and hard work. This cannot happen by edict or centralization of power. It can only happen through mentorship and a voluntary adherence to form. We desperately need the guild and apprenticeship system to return to the world. The universities and the government are drowning all genuine human innovation. Everything is becoming a weapons system.</p>\n<p>One last issue that people run into with creativity is that they get a case of the \"shoulds\". They say to themselves, \"My creativity <em>should</em> be exactly like so and so\'s.\" They seek to conform or to imitate, not because they are learning skills, but because they have a vain attachment to outcomes. Creativity does not work this way. Sure, we borrow from others that came before us, but what\'s done has been done. We need the openness to new associations in order to stay in the \"flow\".</p>\n<p>Creativity does not mean everyone becomes a painter and wears a French beret. A miner may be creative. A plumber may be creative (although hopefully not too much!) A banker may be creative (again, hopefully not too much!) Everyone has a chance to be creative. It is not an attribute solely left up to \"the creatives\". Some people, maybe because of genetics, seem to have a lot more of it. That\'s simply how it goes. Everyone has their natural strengths to discover. Only freedom permits everyone the space to find these strengths. Constriction, taxation, social control, and unending debt are political manifestations of the rotten things people do to themselves in order to squelch creativity.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-737\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tim-allen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"736\" height=\"244\" /></p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','People Who Struggle With Creativity','','inherit','closed','closed','','734-revision-v1','','','2021-10-18 09:39:43','2021-10-18 16:39:43','',734,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=739',0,'revision','',0),(710,1,'2021-09-20 09:55:18','2021-09-20 16:55:18','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>People have a tricky relationship to scolding.

I had kept this bag of macadamia nuts for a couple of months, waiting for a \"rainy day\" to eat it. My wife brought it out from the pantry two weeks ago and we\'d all been snacking on it since.</p>\n<p>I thought about how when I bought this bag, it was a gift to my future self - something to enjoy when the time was right.</p>\n<p>Then I thought about the totally electric <a href=\"https://video.foxnews.com/v/6284404796001#sp=show-clips\">Michael Saylor interview</a> that aired this week on Tucker Carlson Today. In the interview, he describes fiat and all asset classes preceding Bitcoin to have amounted to the same was \"building with sand\". We have never before had a perfect store of value and so intergenerational wealth has been fleeting and easily stolen.</p>\n<p>That\'s a big zoom out but that\'s why Michael Saylor is the man. He gets the big picture. I\'m simply talking today about macadamia nuts and my undying, fervent zeal for their delectability.</p>\n<p>You want to gift things to your future self. There are a million and one ways to do it. For my honeymoon, I went to Cancun. I still think about that trip at least once a week. It was a sunshine moment in my life. Or for example, I spent the better part of three years in my late 20\'s rebuilding my shot mechanics to match Stephen Curry\'s and when I catch fire now in my mid 30\'s, the form has a noticeable effect on people\'s willingness to pass to me. The painstaking thought, time investment in drills and posture work still show themselves sometimes, though I am out of practice with basketball in general.

Time to let it go. Don\'t hold grudges. We\'re supposed to just automatically forgive people.\" This is coming from sentimental people who are rapidly losing their civilization.</p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is that forgiveness, which is to grant pardon to a person, is earned. All too often these feel-goodisms around forgiveness amount to excusing bad behavior without any moral improvement in the perpetrator. As a society, we\'re far past the fool me once fool me twice territory and into the rarified air of \"fool me literally 100 million times\".</p>\n<p>Forgiveness comes out of understanding. A person has to understand:<br />-why what they did was wrong (ethics + self-knowledge)<br />-what an accurate restitution amounts to (and to begin paying it)<br />-how they are committed to being better in the future</p>\n<p>Forgiveness isn\'t for fools to simply dole out like candy.

Crime rates across major US cities are exploding. Communism has taken firm root in places like California and New York. Internal migration within the United States to safer havens has reached a fever pitch. Food insecurity is setting in as the currency becomes worthless. Foreign intelligence services operate openly within America\'s borders. Everyone has adopted a warlord benefactor. Color revolutions are opening up right and left in the broader world.</p>\n<p>Americans are having less and less children. Americans are less and less employed. The remaining children are having placed upon them massive psychological pressures by parents who have less and less control over the broader world.</p>\n<p>Luckily for us, the homeschooling movement is exploding and parents are recognizing the absolute right of a parent to guide his or her own children above the interests of the state.</p>\n<p>Yet, there persists this awful middle ground of failed, liberalized parents who are fully corrupted by the state and media and who will turn their children into trauma-based agents of mayhem and destruction in order to perpetuate the destruction. This is done along a number of vectors but the essential ingredients are the same in every case:<br />-extreme over-focus<br />-concern with elite performance<br />-engineered perception<br />-trauma management</p>\n<p>This is the \"I don\'t change, my children change\" style of authoritarian parenting. In order to mold children to take up positions of power within the state, a parent must be over-focused in the child\'s life in order to dissuade self-directed learning. Since \"I know better\" means \"I get to stamp out curiosity\", such over-focused parents will be molding their children toward ideological ends.</p>\n<p>Concern with elite performance is necessary for the over-focused parent because a world without morality means that the intelligent have been weaponized against the unintelligent. Rather than appeal to people\'s nobler motives and scale back the violence, many are going to \"lean into\" this combat and seek to give their children a fighting edge. A fighting edge is not to be confused with a negotiative edge. Battles can be fought out, avoided, negotiated, or a few other options. Some parents need to Venus and Serena Williams their children, setting them up for a life of material wealth but personal and spiritual estrangement.</p>\n<p>Engineered perception is partly to do with not teaching argumentation to a child and instead instill them with martial strategies so that they will be the dog eating other dogs. People must never question the nature of the conflict because the conflict must always be assumed to be ever pervasive and ever present. Engineered perception is also to do with never showing the Emperor as having no clothing. The global elite must be propped up, by hook or by crook, because they are the benefactors of the future. Children will be taught to curry favor in their courts as freedom has become regarded as a failed ideal.</p>\n<p>Trauma management is how parents keep their kids \"in the fight\", not to mention the parents will do much of the damage themselves. They will harden their children through abuse and then tend to the scar tissue so as to appear nurturing and supportive. This strategy has already been mastered by the therapeutic, intelligence, and managerial elite living on the American East Coast. The children of the \"Swamp\"  are here and their hegemony is assumed to be forever.</p>\n<p>It is not \"pro-social\" to enjoy seeking the company of sociopathic murderers who enact their crimes by fiat, legislation, and brute, covert force. These people will always charm you into thinking otherwise. They want your children. They need your children as sexual playthings and as cannon fodder for the internecine wars of the rapacious, vampiric elite living out their worst nightmares. None who rub elbows with these entities come out uncorrupted. Your ambitions will always be used against you by people who have self-selected to be two to three orders of magnitude more intelligent than you. You won\'t outsmart them.</p>\n<p>In an increasingly competitive world, it is unfair to deprive one\'s children of performance strategies and an awareness of the game, as it is played. Yet, the future is not written and where great evil is mounting its effort, so is great good. You just don\'t hear about it in the press.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Trauma-Based Mind Control Parenting','','publish','closed','closed','','trauma-based-mind-control-parenting','','','2022-01-11 10:26:30','2022-01-11 17:26:30','',0,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=766',0,'post','',0),(754,1,'2021-12-17 12:43:45','2021-12-17 19:43:45','<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>One of the most remarkable videos I ever saw was about ten years ago.

A policy of contraction and isolation is only appropriate to evil doers. Simply experimenting and trying to be creative is not an evil, despite what the norm has established and despite the hysterical protestations of some powerful people. The Inner Critic, if it is over calibrated, can trigger a harsh backlash of destructive rebellion that is not even in the interests of the Inner Critic. Censorship leads to chaos. In chaos, anything can go and often does. We need balance. We need to live in a way where ethics does not get thrown out the window.</p>\n<p>Another blockage to creativity that people experience is that they live in a state of dishonesty with themselves. An over calibrated Inner Critic is a form of dishonesty. To pepper oneself with constant anxieties, constraints, and woes is a form of slavery. Other kinds of dishonesty include nursing some illusion in an important personal relationship, engaging in unproductive conflict with others, or mistreating one\'s body. Combative people aren\'t always outwardly combative. Oftentimes, they beat themselves up.</p>\n<p>One more issue people come up against with creativity is that they overattribute things to their creativity. They pin too many hopes on it, far too soon in the process. This is a form of grandiosity, certainty about things that are not certain. A rare few seem to just plow forward in this manner, not that this is useful for the world, but most people crumble under the weight of expectations. Our world is insanely cruel to people who are young, daydreaming, and tending to their hobbies. Let the small be small and the grand be grand. Let people find their way but give the people the freedom of knowing humility and hard work. This cannot happen by edict or centralization of power. It can only happen through mentorship and a voluntary adherence to form. We desperately need the guild and apprenticeship system to return to the world. The universities and the government are drowning all genuine human innovation. Everything is becoming a weapons system.</p>\n<p>One last issue that people run into with creativity is that they get a case of the \"shoulds\". They say to themselves, \"My creativity <em>should</em> be exactly like so and so\'s.\" They seek to conform or to imitate, not because they are learning skills, but because they have a vain attachment to outcomes. Creativity does not work this way. Sure, we borrow from others that came before us, but what\'s done has been done. We need the openness to new associations in order to stay in the \"flow\".</p>\n<p>Creativity does not mean everyone becomes a painter and wears a French beret. A miner may be creative. A plumber may be creative (although hopefully not too much!) A banker may be creative (again, hopefully not too much!) Everyone has a chance to be creative. It is not an attribute solely left up to \"the creatives\". Some people, maybe because of genetics, seem to have a lot more of it. That\'s simply how it goes. Everyone has their natural strengths to discover. Only freedom permits everyone the space to find these strengths. Constriction, taxation, social control, and unending debt are political manifestations of the rotten things people do to themselves in order to squelch creativity.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','People Who Struggle With Creativity','','inherit','closed','closed','','734-revision-v1','','','2021-10-18 09:29:27','2021-10-18 16:29:27','',734,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=735',0,'revision','',0),(736,1,'2021-10-18 09:30:53','2021-10-18 16:30:53','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>Creativity allows us to make novel connections, seek out new ways of doing things, make artistic expression happen, and build something where there was nothing before.</p>\n<p>A lot of people struggle with becoming more creative.

There are a variety of reasons this happens.</p>\n<p>One of the foremost reasons for creative struggles is the Inner Critic. Everyone has a moderating instinct, to one degree or another, in them. When people did not moderate, people tended to die before procreating. Over time, we have emerged thanks to our self-moderation. This tendency can be over calibrated and we suffer. We had critical parents or we went through overly critical schooling. Pro-civilizational strategies were not categorized and elucidated to us. We simply learned to follow the herd and to avoid punishment. All things were grey. Nothing good comes out of this milieu. It has to be challenged! Anti-traditional radicals will challenge it, sometimes, but they challenge the norm but dragging it down even further. The Critic often permits this because there\'s more to complain about later.</p>\n<p>Dealing with the Inner Critic in a sober, accurate way means understanding that while the Critic seeks to keep us safe, we need to strike up a balance where we can build up new structures in life. A policy of contraction and isolation is only appropriate to evil doers. Simply experimenting and trying to be creative is not an evil, despite what the norm has established and despite the hysterical protestations of some powerful people. The Inner Critic, if it is over calibrated, can trigger a harsh backlash of destructive rebellion that is not even in the interests of the Inner Critic. Censorship leads to chaos. In chaos, anything can go and often does. We need balance. We need to live in a way where ethics does not get thrown out the window.</p>\n<p>Another blockage to creativity that people experience is that they live in a state of dishonesty with themselves. An over calibrated Inner Critic is a form of dishonesty. To pepper oneself with constant anxieties, constraints, and woes is a form of slavery. Other kinds of dishonesty include nursing some illusion in an important personal relationship, engaging in unproductive conflict with others, or mistreating one\'s body. Combative people aren\'t always outwardly combative. Oftentimes, they beat themselves up.</p>\n<p>One more issue people come up against with creativity is that they overattribute things to their creativity. They pin too many hopes on it, far too soon in the process. This is a form of grandiosity, certainty about things that are not certain. A rare few seem to just plow forward in this manner, not that this is useful for the world, but most people crumble under the weight of expectations. Our world is insanely cruel to people who are young, daydreaming, and tending to their hobbies. Let the small be small and the grand be grand. Let people find their way but give the people the freedom of knowing humility and hard work. This cannot happen by edict or centralization of power.

The purpose of this service is to help others gain empathy for themselves and others, discover their life\'s purpose through philosophical inquiry, and gain confidence and competence in their skills and relationships. I have a certification in Internal Family Systems, half a Masters in Counseling (before leaving university for philosophical reasons), 2 years of mentorship with a word class counselor, and reams of other formative experiences toward this discipline. To be clear, this is a life coaching service <em>not</em> professional therapy.\r\n\r\nI would like to work with people who are motivated to change and perhaps have seen changes in their own lives from recent, conscious efforts. I work best with self-starters and people who want to get real about their lives.\r\n\r\nIf you need reference material for our work together, I\'d like to recommend Jay Earley\'s excellent book <a href=\"http://a.co/gY2Cyoj\">Self-Therapy</a>.\r\n\r\nSessions are conducted via Skype and <em>my sliding scale is currently $65 USD to $120 USD per 60 minutes</em>. You can also pay in Bitcoin. I offer a free 15 minute consultation at this time for you to ask any questions you need to in order to feel comfortable beginning the work. You will need a stable Internet connection. All our work together is confidential.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the work is to help you grow at all costs. I am extremely competent at this work. If you are motivated, you <em>will</em> see change. Can you afford to miss out on tremendous happiness and your life\'s calling?\r\n\r\n<em>Email me at stevenfranssen@protonmail.com to get a major leg up on becoming who you want to be.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Endorsements:</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>\"After a string of disastrous relationships I knew I had to seek help from an experienced life coach in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Steven took a common sense and professional approach to helping me establish the self-confidence that would attract a quality woman. <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1705243061\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Two years later</span></span> I\'m married to a beautiful woman who is eager to start a family with me, and I\'ve grown my business considerably during that time. My estimation of Steven\'s services could not be higher.\" -</em>Peter, 29; Pennsylvania, USA\r\n\r\n<em>\"Steven\'s invaluable perspective, his insight, and wisdom never fail to enrich my life and help me navigate through difficult challenges. Whether personal, professional, or existential: no stone remains unturned. Unquestionably, I am a better person because of the work we have done together. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to live to the fullest, to increase confidence, to foster true connection in relationships, and ultimately, to make a lasting impact on the world! I would not trade him for any other life coach; he has seen the best in me and has helped me overcome the things that hold me back-he is irreplaceable and a one of a kind person who will help you turn your life into something worthy of awe, pride, and love.\"  -</em>Chelsea, 27; Maryland, USA\r\n\r\n<em>\"Before I started working with Steve, I was lost and didn\'t have the tools to grow. He\'s helped me process my history and he always gives the most useful feedback on whatever thoughts and problems I bring to our sessions. It\'s been a long and difficult process, but after 2 years working together, I\'ve finally built a strong foundation with rich relationships and inner strength. We still have a lot of work to do, but our weekly sessions give me hope.\" -</em>Michael, 28; Ontario, Canada\r\n\r\n<em>“My work with Steven has been nothing less than transformative. If you’d like to grow empathy, courage and industriousness, improve your traction in the world, then Steven is the best coach I can recommend.”</em> -Henry, 26; Manchester, UK\r\n\r\n<em>“Steven was a tremendous help in facilitating me as I got my career and personal life back on track.  He was a staunch and savvy advocate at my side, as I confronted difficult, essential truths about my own life.  He will give you the push the need, when you need it.\r\nI would heartily recommend Steven’s coaching services, based on his integrity, intelligence, fortitude of character, and practical experience in the field.” -</em>Adam, 34; Canada\r\n\r\n<em>\"I seriously questioned the value of consultations until I started speaking with Steve. It turns out the value of the consultation has a lot to do with how good the consultant is. His nurturing and playful demeanor, broad and deep knowledge of psychology, and respect for his own continuous self-knowledge process made our time together as productive and enjoyable as possible. If you\'re interested in therapy, but want to avoid the weird stuff, I couldn\'t recommend Steve enough. I fall in love with myself and my experiences more and more everyday thanks in large part to our work together. I\'m happily married, working towards an exciting and prosperous career, and plan on having children soon!  Thank you for all you\'ve done and continue to do, Steve!\"</em> -Royce, 28; Missouri, USA\r\n\r\n<i>\"I came to Steven during a challenging time in my life just looking for someone to listen and offer a few words of wisdom, but after our first session I knew he was to become my guide down the path to self-knowledge that I had been seeking for quite some time.  Steven was the first person in my life to give a truly honest opinion of his experience of me, and didn\'t hesitate to lay down some hard truths when needed.  He is helping me free myself from a boring life of overthinking and busyness while re-introducing me to the fulfilling and exciting realm of feeling and living in the moment.  I have no doubt that the few hours I have spent with Steven so far will echo throughout the rest of my life and to countless others to whom I can be an example.\"</i> -Carl, 34; Ohio, USA\r\n\r\n<em>I have been working with Steven for a few years and have made great leaps on my personal improvement path. I have used his help to attain  better standards for life, relationships, and work in a way that creates new meaning and purpose. </em>-Josh, 22; Canada\r\n\r\n<em>Steve was my beacon in the darkness when I was utterly lost. If you are stuck in the depths with no direction home, and while other counselors are trying to get you to mindfully focus on the present, Steve will look you in the eye and tell you exactly where your deepest truth lies. He is a philosopher therapist and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a strong male figure to look up to, curious about appropriate interpersonal boundaries or just plain lost.</em> -Chris, 29; California, USA','Coaching','','inherit','closed','closed','','244-revision-v1','','','2019-02-28 11:04:54','2019-02-28 18:04:54','',244,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/244-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(349,1,'2018-03-04 12:59:13','2018-03-04 19:59:13','<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-293\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/MSKGA-192x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>Make Self-Knowledge Great Again</strong> (2017)\r\n\r\nOn Sale: <a href=\"http://a.co/4RyL8YF\">Amazon USA</a> / <a href=\"http://amzn.eu/4eWtlck\">Amazon UK</a> / <a href=\"https://www.audible.com/pd/B072NBZD48?action_code=SNGGBWS072717001P&amp;ipRedirectOverride=true\">Audible</a>\r\n\r\nThis book is not approved by any board of licensed professional counselors nor would it be in the interests of a board to do so.

Most people have it pounded out of them by their teenage years through the incorrect, harmful parenting that is commonplace. They also lose it because of television (a huge culprit), social media, and public schooling. In adulthood they further obscure it from themselves through the unending distractions profered to us by the rulers. Usually this is termed \"addiction\".<br />Sobriety is important in recovering one\'s intuitive feedback but it is not absolutely essential in the short run. You can breach contact here and there, as you remember to be human again. In the long run, you want a strong connection to that intuition-making core of yourself and consistency becomes essential.<br />Intuition, which I loosely term \"first feedback\" here, comes to you in your initial response to whatever you observe. Some people say it is a thought that occurs first and then a feeling. Some people say it is a feeling first and then a thought. I tend toward the former, that a thought occurs first and then you have a feeling.<br />Let\'s take a concrete example: your neighbor has a child that screams loudly at all points of the day. The observation occurs to you, through your ears. You have the thought, \"That damned kid again!\" and you feel anger. Right here is where you have to slow things down. Everyone and their grandma plays the \"should game\". They say to themselves, \"I should not feel angry\" or \"I should retaliate\" or \"I should try to help the kid\" or something else. In come the \"shoulds\". This is the propaganda and training we\'ve been saddled with in our development. People really do take their social cues from the TV shows and movies they watch and it has been a total disaster for the species. Most people don\'t even notice the anger. It flares up in them for a split second and then off they go to \"shoulds\" and solutions. The fact remains that there was the thought, \"That damned kid again!\" and anger. That\'s fact. The rest that people jump into, may or may not be true. Usually, it is not true. Curiosity allows us to slow time down, stay with the fact of the thought and the feeling that came with it, and truly ponder the meaning of our response.<br />The wonderful thing about our intuition is that it is here to help us. Usually, it beckons us to self-knowledge. If you quiet down all your ways of managing difficult experiences and actually just sit with the thought and feeling, you will get childhood memories come up. Maybe you were the noisy child on the block. Maybe you had experiences in relation to the noisy child on the block. Maybe you learn about yourself that you\'re angry at yourself for moving where you did. Or you learn that you\'re disappointed with the new neighbors and would like to assert to them your concern about the child.<br />Intuition does not mean we are paralyzed. It means we are building upon our initial response to things with logic and curiosity, as opposed to compulsivity, stress, and the desperate need to make things more comfortable that people walk around with. All that is inflicted into us.<br />Let\'s take another example: a young man listens to music that makes him sad. He hears the music, thinks \"this reminds me of my father\" and then feels a sinking sadness. We have been trained by modernity to get as far away from reflecting on our genuine experiences of our parents as possible. So the young man dissociates into abstraction. He is taken by some particular aspect of the instrumentation. Or he says to himself, \"I always like to look out the window and doze off when I listen to sad music.\" Or he tries to fall in love with the woman singing the song. He doesn\'t notice he is anchored to the music because he has a need to resolve some aspect of how his father affected him, once upon a time. He does not stop the song and listen to his sadness instead. The sadness has something to tell him, just like the anger over the kid yelling earlier had something to tell that person.</p>\n<p>When people initially dig into first feedback, they will find there is a huge backlog of feedback that is directly related to the sorrow of their histories. For some, this is just too much to bear and so they attack the messenger, me usually but also the truth-bringer aspect of themselves, and return to unconscious living. This is why starting one\'s self-knowledge journey as early as possible is important. People in middle age really do have so much pain in them that even dipping one toe into the pool can feel like unbearable fire. Younger people have a better chance. They\'re more impressionable. They\'re less corrupt. They\'ve done less to hurt others. They\'re not as far into the rationalizations for their addictions. But anyone of any age can listen to that first feedback and get something accomplished. Sometimes the true voice in a person will erupt and guide someone to safety. Or it will tell them of their moral failures (quarter, mid, and late-life crises). People may have a dream that grips them and then they do something slightly different from there on out that others notice (\"Bob whistles with his morning coffee now!\"). Or people in a place of danger who have neglected the danger for too long will have a death premonition that rocks them and they pack up and leave for somewhere else. People who become severely obese often have a sustained burst of authenticity that drags them back to a healthy weight whereupon some of them continuing living more in-contact with their intuition whereas others will simply maintain a holding pattern and comfort themselves with the new sense of normalcy, superior to the old. Drug addicts will have a moment of clarity and then sober up.<br />We can have our \"moment of clarity\" every single day, if we so choose. We can have it minute to minute, hour to hour, if we practice listening to the first feedback sufficiently. A self-knowledgeable person is not merely someone who has done an extensive survey of their personal history. This kind of psychology has been championed in the past four years by \"Jungians\" but it is a tired old trick. First feedback ties a person\'s lived experiences to the personal history, and much more, rendering the person into someone of personal and moral excellence. Our initial response will often inform us of courage. We go with the instinct and brave the odds of being someone who bucks the social trend in order to live true. Some people know enough to listen but then they don\'t DO what they hear. These people become neurotic, self-justifying cowards over time who use self-knowledge to manipulate others - usually to throw attention off of themselves because they\'re ashamed of not having walked in the fire.<br />All that is very advanced though. You\'ll get to that eventually, if you keep \"walking into the mystery\" as I mentioned on this website recently. Being true to our initial responses will upend our social order, our working lives, sometimes where we live, how we choose to express ourselves, and what we take an interest in. It will cut away all the nonsense in our lives and leave us as moral, healthy, REAL human beings. Dealing with these changes requires a great deal of tolerating uncertainty. Uncertainty is uncomfortable! It is especially uncomfortable for people who have no interest in self-knowledge. Much of self-knowledge is a private, reflective process - which is the upside. If it\'s a healthy process, why would it involve you exposing yourself to unneccessary danger or suffering? That just means something wasn\'t as parsed through as it could have been.<br />To go a bit superficial, what if the music we listen to keeps us in a cage of someone else\'s madness? What if the clothes we were disappoint us and tire us? What if the job we work is massively intolerable and we become elusive pricks to ourselves in order to \"hang in there\"? What if the car we drive scares us with its constant threat of needing costly repairs? What if being in debt makes us feel supplicant and pathetic whenever our boss walks by? What if that pair of shoes we\'re deeply sentimentally attached to actually hurts the tendons in our feet? What if all those runs we go on to outrun the emotional pain leave us aching and distracted from the real pain? What if we raise our voice at people in order to keep from realizing they\'re right? What if we start to act like a manipulative explainer to other people, dislike who we are being, and don\'t want to face up to the feeling of guilt that comes up as we continue the behavior? What if our lawn looks like crap and we feel like a schmuck with a crappy lawn?<br />On and on go the observations we make that we deny because emotions are icky and \"make us weak\". Stoicism is the answer, after all, right? Just be stoic, dude!<br />No, we want to align our life to our intuition, our sovereign judgment. The real feedback is the first thought and the emotion, not all the whirly-gig stressy stuff that takes over if we don\'t make the effort to slow time down and observe with curiosity what has just happened. Our betterment lies through self-reflection. We will hear things we don\'t like. We will have feelings of patheticness, rage, remorse, self-reproach, and so on. We hang steady, stay curious, and help those aspects of ourselves by uncovering a memory, having a realization, changing how we do things, improving our treatment of others, grieving what we did or what we lost, or by adopting new ethics in business. The changes we can make are as endless as our observations. There is so much to engage in ourselves.<br />Stick with the first feedback you get from yourself. It will lead you to a better life!</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','First Feedback','','inherit','closed','closed','','661-revision-v1','','','2021-09-01 10:09:21','2021-09-01 17:09:21','',661,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=663',0,'revision','',0),(244,1,'2018-03-01 23:24:30','2018-03-02 06:24:30','I have offered a coaching service since April of 2014.

The first being that Stallone has been a big influence on me and on masculine culture in broader America for a long time. He\'s served to highlight some virtues such as tenacity, commitment, grit, and lots of sports psychology such as a winner\'s mindset.</p>\n<p>This divorce is not a surprise but you hate to see it. The rumblings were about, Jennifer Flavin released a photo of her with her daughters, it was revealed that Sly had his tattoo of Jennifer covered up, and then came the divorce filing in Florida court. In the filing, Jennifer says that Sly has been deliberately withholding marital assets, thereby adversely affecting her expected quality of living. She contends that he has been doing this in anticipation of being divorced. It is interesting to note that marital infidelity was not mentioned in the divorce filing and judging by social media, there is zero indication that Sly has been involved with another woman. He does have a history of cheating on Jennifer, when they were still dating, and he did famously break up with her through a FedEx telegram back in the 1990\'s.</p>\n<p>I do not know the full, behind the scenes details of who said what when. All I can do is judge by the court filings and social media. I\'ll paint in broad strokes. That said, I see a couple of things that trouble me worth mentioning to my audience.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-829\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/maternal-corruption.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"705\" /><br />The closing-ranks photo of Jennifer with her daughters gives one a lot of insight into the situation. When you glance at their vapid Instagram pages, you see unending selfies and glamor shots meant to highlight their sexual market value. They\'re fishing for rich men, each of them. Only one of the three has a recent picture with either of the parents and it\'s the mother who\'s featured. Obviously, it\'s the mother heading up the shot across the bow at the father - given the group photo is on her Instagram. None of the daughters are so loyal to their father that they\'ve succeeded in dissuading the mother from keeping the photo up, as it unnecessarily raises tensions. You get the sense that Sylvester is broken down enough that this level of female contempt and insolence was a strong dynamic, so strong that it burst to the surface as one of Jennifer\'s final acts in the marriage. She went to each of the daughters, or as a group, and secured their fealty. The trust in the marriage has to be pretty far broken for this kind of positioning to happen. It means negotiation between the spouses has completely broken down, the walls have come up, and the war is on.</p>\n<p>Such a move on the woman\'s part is completely inappropriate and abusive to the man. The sisters are signaling that they buy into the mother\'s version of things: something along the lines of Sly deliberately withholding resources and that he\'s being a child over wanting this Rottweiler dog at mother\'s expense.<br />I believe this to be the case because the daughters are clearly living hedonist, consumerist lifestyles and are not rooted in their father\'s love. For the youngest, who seems really out there, I\'d be surprised if she\'s more than just dimly aware of a divorce going on. Wealth, in this sense, has become a guard against intimacy. There\'s this famous connection that Sly had with the struggle and suffering of his life before he \"made it\". He would track down directors on the street and act for them, on the spot. He sold his dog Butkus to make ends meet while he was shopping out his script. He sold the script and immediately went and bought back his dog. Now it appears he\'s lost touch. All his success never bought back for him that primal connection to his life\'s struggle that he once possessed. It was all roses and red carpets after Rocky.</p>\n<p>The man who was an inspiration for so many hundreds of millions of other men ended up having a talented son who died young of a heart problem and had a severely mentally disabled son. At the peak of his high life, Sly married Jennifer, a woman 25 years his junior, and she turned out nothing but daughters for him. You get what you get, of course, but Sly was particularly primed for being a girl dad leading to his downfall. When you build up that much of an empire and you only have daughters to pass it on to, you can\'t get away with being an absent father. You will only drive your daughters to your wife, in your absence, and then the lack of intimacy will lead to them scheming to part you from a significant chunk of your wealth. No amount of money can ever make up for an empty childhood, but tell that to pretty young girls who live several-thousand-dollar-a-day lifestyles. Tell that to a woman who modeled for Elite until she met a rich man. The lady never had to develop her maturity.</p>\n<p>Jennifer has \"secured\" for her daughters their lifestyles in perpetuity. She has given them limitlessness and all it cost was divorcing a much older man who once cheated on her. Without love, these are the transactional considerations our closest relationships are reduced to.</p>\n<p>Sly, for his part, is most certainly on the ropes. There are no more good scripts being greenlit. Everything is Millennial bullshit for the streaming services. American testosterone drops by literally 1% a year. Bruce Willis is out to pasture. Schwarzenegger destroyed himself. Mel is in the bush leagues. The action hero has come and gone and the man who believed in it the most has been downed by the divorce courts. She\'ll keep the beach house. Sly will keep punching but fame was a cruel mistress and exacted her toll: three daughters.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','The Stallone-Flavin Divorce','','publish','closed','closed','','the-stallone-flavin-divorce','','','2022-08-31 10:46:55','2022-08-31 17:46:55','',0,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=828',0,'post','',0),(611,1,'2021-03-13 09:35:23','2021-03-13 16:35:23','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>Check out some more of my work and connect with me on the following pages.</p>\n<p><strong>Music:</strong><br /><a href=\"https://soundcloud.com/stevenfranssen\">Soundcloud</a><br /><a href=\"https://stevenfranssen.bandcamp.com/\">Bandcamp</a><br /><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/artist/21rR1Fn2rRDGatAbFJd7bF\">Spotify</a></p>\n<p><strong>Social Media:</strong><br /><a href=\"https://gab.com/stevenfranssen\">Gab</a><br /><a href=\"https://t.me/stevenfranssen\">Telegram</a></p>\n<p><strong>Videos:</strong><br /><a href=\"https://odysee.com/@Franssen:3\">Odysee (main channel)</a><br /><a href=\"https://www.bitchute.com/channel/d9N2zn9A6grw/\">Bitchute</a><br /><a href=\"https://rumble.com/c/c-603463\">Rumble</a></p>\n<p><strong>Misc.:</strong><br /><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Steven-Franssen/e/B01HYGQ52E/ref=rtpb_bl_1?pd_rd_w=iGDDV&amp;pf_rd_p=be844577-fee7-4bbc-8dda-083e56cc6f0d&amp;pf_rd_r=AHKFBTW7K6KSWYZZEEF3&amp;pd_rd_r=1583dcbd-9ae4-4115-9649-3fd5df01376c&amp;pd_rd_wg=nV2cF&amp;pd_rd_i=1520645600\">Books</a><br /><a href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14583088.Steven_Franssen\">Goodreads</a></p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Links','','inherit','closed','closed','','610-revision-v1','','','2021-03-13 09:35:23','2021-03-13 16:35:23','',610,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/610-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(262,1,'2018-03-02 01:29:49','2018-03-02 01:29:49','','DXPoCdiX4AAdbQ1','','inherit','closed','closed','','dxpocdix4aadbq1','','','2018-03-02 01:29:49','2018-03-02 01:29:49','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DXPoCdiX4AAdbQ1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(620,1,'2021-06-27 07:43:39','2021-06-27 14:43:39','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>The most common form of peer pressure we face is to conform, to go with the group\'s expectations and behave the way the group expects us to. This is not inherently a bad situation to be in, despite what some people say, and a sign that we\'re caught in \"groupthink\" no matter what. The group around us may be composed of people who are of sound, independent judgment and they have all arrived to a similar conclusion about how we live our life - a change we should make.<br />The most common peer pressure <em>situation</em> that a person finds themselves in is the one where the person has to go along with an evil mob. Statistically speaking, since the world is made up of a majority of people who do not have a correct ethical framework, the chance is very high that the average peer pressure situation is one where bad people are influencing you to sell out and to hurt yourself. You are not a purely innocent victim because in your moral wanderings, you managed to get involved with an evil mob, but you should not confuse your wanderings and being in an impressionable state with being like one of the mob, which will put its pressure on you.<br />Again, there are good groups of people and their leaders will counsel you and advise you to do what is right. Those groups are just few and far between.<br />The biggest mob in the world, and the one with the most influence over the uninitiated, is the mob of wrongdoing. This mob has many lies to get you to stop listening to your gut instinct. This mob will confer status and popularity on you, if you will just give up a bit of your dignity here and there. Those who give away the most of their soul are treated as the most special and important in this mob.<br />The way you know the mob is on you is when you\'re in a low state and someone is influencing you to trade away your connection to yourself in exchange for short term relief.

You are equipped to live a rich life, if only you will self-reflect and listen to those deep notions in yourself.</p>\n<p>The mob wants you to give that up. You must not be on a deep, philosophical or religious, search to know the truth. You must not be allowed to \"have too much to think\". Your body must not be allowed to get too healthy. You must not experience love past a certain point in this life. You will be permitted to be only so wealthy. If you go past any of the small limits of the mob, you become a danger to the mob. Greater and greater corruption has to be conferred upon you in order to break you and prevent you from being a person who will set others free.<br />The mob wants you to give up your independent judgment. It wants to devour your sexual energy. It wants to get you worshipping false idols. It wants your mind shattered so you will go along with the programming it has engineered. It wants you distracted on a daily, hourly, and minute to minute basis. It wants you to fall in love with the uncivilized and violent. The mob wants you to signal petty criminality so it knows you\'re a harmless clown without an advanced thought in its head.<br />All of this starts with peer pressure. It starts with one or two peers in a low state, offering their version of \"compassion\" and \"understanding\" to a confused person.

However it is that they manipulate others to get by, that\'s what shows up on the face. And in the body. Honesty means making difficult choices sometimes. Other times, it means being good to yourself when you want to be harsh. Honesty shows up in all forms but it is always a challenge.

You pull too many resources into your mouth and it\'s ugly. Keeping the weight off doesn\'t mean you have to be a fitness freak. A rare few people can get away with being overweight because they\'re high IQ. Most people, by definition, are not high IQ. The great mass of Americans are overweight and not smart enough to get away with it. Being overweight sours your soul. You become pathetic, lazy, and an excuse-making liar.</p>\n<p>3. Don\'t be a conformist<br />Most people in America base a sizeable portion of their identity on their favorite sports team, on the media that is promoted to them, and on what the latest \"popular\" thing is on Facebook - the world\'s sewer. People are happy to trade a little bit of their soul in order to virtue signal that they\'re okay with Western Civilization\'s march into oblivion.

This is not inherently a bad situation to be in, despite what some people say, and a sign that we\'re caught in \"groupthink\" no matter what. The group around us may be composed of people who are of sound, independent judgment and they have all arrived to a similar conclusion about how we live our life - a change we should make.<br />The most common peer pressure <em>situation</em> that a person finds themselves in is the one where the person has to go along with an evil mob. Statistically speaking, since the world is made up of a majority of people who do not have a correct ethical framework, the chance is very high that the average peer pressure situation is one where bad people are influencing you to sell out and to hurt yourself. You are not a purely innocent victim because in your moral wanderings, you managed to get involved with an evil mob, but you should not confuse your wanderings and being in an impressionable state with being like one of the mob, which will put its pressure on you.<br />Again, there are good groups of people and their leaders will counsel you and advise you to do what is right. Those groups are just few and far between.<br />The biggest mob in the world, and the one with the most influence over the uninitiated, is the mob of wrongdoing. This mob has many lies to get you to stop listening to your gut instinct. This mob will confer status and popularity on you, if you will just give up a bit of your dignity here and there. Those who give away the most of their soul are treated as the most special and important in this mob.<br />The way you know the mob is on you is when you\'re in a low state and someone is influencing you to trade away your connection to yourself in exchange for short term relief. Your connection to yourself is what keeps you true to yourself and true to the natural logic of the world. You have inherited thousands of years of intuition, insights, and instincts that have allowed humans to know the rhythms of nature and tame the chaos that the wilderness provokes in human life. You are equipped to live a rich life, if only you will self-reflect and listen to those deep notions in yourself.</p>\n<p>The mob wants you to give that up. You must not be on a deep, philosophical or religious, search to know the truth. You must not be allowed to \"have too much to think\". Your body must not be allowed to get too healthy. You must not experience love past a certain point in this life. You will be permitted to be only so wealthy. If you go past any of the small limits of the mob, you become a danger to the mob. Greater and greater corruption has to be conferred upon you in order to break you and prevent you from being a person who will set others free.<br />The mob wants you to give up your independent judgment. It wants to devour your sexual energy. It wants to get you worshipping false idols. It wants your mind shattered so you will go along with the programming it has engineered. It wants you distracted on a daily, hourly, and minute to minute basis. It wants you to fall in love with the uncivilized and violent. The mob wants you to signal petty criminality so it knows you\'re a harmless clown without an advanced thought in its head.<br />All of this starts with peer pressure. It starts with one or two peers in a low state, offering their version of \"compassion\" and \"understanding\" to a confused person. This behavior has nothing to do with resolution of the confusion at hand but rather is intended to crystallize the confusion in the target with social approval. People must be kept in a state of uncertainty for as long as possible until their lone certainty in this life is that people should remain uncertain. Uncertainty makes standards unclear. With everyone unclear on standards, law and order become impossible to enforce because no one agrees on terms. The only thing people expect then is the \"compassion\" and \"understanding\" they were shown when they were initiated into the mob, which the mob is happy to give because it\'s cheap and easy to do so. The mob lives in a state of meaninglessness that it attempts to suck you into.</p>\n<p>Peer pressure can come from all angles. It can come from your family, your friends, your neighbors, and your religious community. It most certainly comes from popular culture, schools, and social media. Some of it is useful. Most of it demeans you. In those moments of peer pressure, you will want to decide, \"Does this lessen my connection to myself or not?\"</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Peer Pressure','','inherit','closed','closed','','620-revision-v1','','','2021-06-27 07:43:39','2021-06-27 14:43:39','',620,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=623',0,'revision','',0),(305,1,'2018-03-02 17:37:08','2018-03-02 17:37:08','','hawaii-wave-surf-picture-11','','inherit','closed','closed','','hawaii-wave-surf-picture-11','','','2018-03-02 17:37:08','2018-03-02 17:37:08','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/hawaii-wave-surf-picture-11.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(526,1,'2019-02-28 10:35:02','2019-02-28 17:35:02','Steven Franssen is a philosopher and author of <a href=\"http://a.co/0hRjKLq\">Rise And Fight: Defeat Globalism, Save The West</a>.

I was excited by it and thought immediately that it was his best song since 2003. That\'s eighteen years! What happened with John Mayer? I read once in a <em>Playboy</em> interview with him that he was an obsessive dude who collected fine watches, was somewhat mentored by Eric Clapton, and that he is/was a massive womanizer. The womanizer part we\'ll get to more, in a bit.</p>\n<p>When John Mayer first burst on the scene, I was excited by the vitality in his playing. My friends and I would get the tabs for songs like Neon and No Such Thing and hone our playing until we could get his guitar work down. He had a refreshing brand of pop that emphasized \"adulting\", something which I now loathe. At the time, it was fun. For an impressionable teen, doubly so. I yearned to be an adult and on my own, as most teens did back then. John was clearly an intelligent dude and quick with the verbal quips. I liked that about him and so I rooted for him. I went to a show of his in July of 2004 with a girlfriend. I plugged my ears for the entirety of Maroon 5\'s set, which greatly upset the girlfriend\'s younger sister. She pouted! Stay mad! I remember watching the show and being disappointed that John didn\'t have the bombast on stage that his songs had. I didn\'t understand at the time that whatever is conveyed in the lyrics of the songs isn\'t necessarily conveyed on stage by the artist. Most artists just go up there, play the songs, say few words between the songs, and show off a bit to the crowd. John did all of that but for me, it wasn\'t meaningful enough. I was trying to learn about ferocity, something the flashes in his early work showed me.</p>\n<p>The next year, John Mayer veered off into blues and I completely lost interest in him. In my opinion, he never recovered. The exuberance of No Such Thing, Neon, Bigger Than My Body, and New Deep was wiped out by his crooning streak. He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the <em>meaning</em> of what he was doing. He was smart enough to not be in The Machine but let it use him as compensation for using women forever.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a shot of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyric video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be attempting something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two. He released forgettable fair in the next year but this summer was different, with the full release of his Sob Rock album.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a spectacular song. It\'s a good song. And John Mayer has been averse to \"good\" for a long time. Simping is evil. Simp songs are an artistic expression of evil. If you look at his insane music video for Still Feel Like Your Man, you can see his evil in full form: a seducer, a tradition and family destroyer. It\'s ugly. It sets up other young men for horrific failure.</p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_701\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"937\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"937\" height=\"431\" /> <em>Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks. He just wants to show his peepee to 9/10 road girls.</em>[/caption]\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a huge departure from form for John Mayer. The lyrics are clearly yet again about copulation. But there\'s something a little different in them. There\'s a mild apocalyptic vibe to them, with reference to \"the last train home and I surrender.\" It kind of seems like John Mayer is looking for his last girlfriend to snuggle up with on his ranch before the world completely goes to Hell and so he put in extra effort in this song (\"I\'m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind. I\'m out of luck and I\'m out of time\"). The song is better than anything he\'s put out in 18 years because it has a driving vitality to it that he\'s completely eschewed for most of his career. This reminds me of Vince Gill, who basically turned into a huge simp once he met Amy Grant and totally wasted his career writing crooner fair instead of letting it rip and fully embracing his talents.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home is different in that, wrapped up in his homage to 80\'s acts, like perhaps Toto and Steve Winwood, is an adherence to form and even tradition. He <em>has</em> to include a driving, anthemic melody in the instrumental breaks. Pop music is so far gone from anything that\'s remotely American that to include this piece in a song is almost \"folk\" in its quality. I don\'t think John intended it this way but who knows.</p>\n<p>Another piece that is nice about the song is that there is some emphasis on the band. Clearly he\'s brought in the most top dollar, top flight musicians from the 80\'s to moonlight on the music video and probably on the recording. It shows. The song rips. He lets himself play the guitar in service of the song instead of in service to his penis and you can tell. <br />The song really crescendos when the little hussy lady starts harmonizing. I forget her name. She\'s apparently pretty big in \"country\" music. Now, I\'m not exactly excited that the lady got the \"prime real estate\" of the song. It really is embarrassing that a middle aged man is showing off a whorishly dressed roastie with a mild pig nose in his music video, yet it\'s triumphant cause he KNOWS this is a spectacular hook. He KNOWS he \"nailed it\" with this song. He knows he\'s a total gunslinger in the video. He\'s not simping so much as he is embodying that early glory he once had. A bit of honesty slipped out from under the madness of years and years of ugly simping and made the electric connection to his homage to former glory (the 80\'s) in this song. You <em>have to</em> have a bit of that old glory in you to do it. This is why we semi-venerate people who can sing the National Anthem with great skill. It says something about them. In that regard, I am very happy for John that he could pull this song off. He does the same thing a wee little bit with some of the Dire Straits stuff in his other new song, Wild Blue, but Mark Knopfler always was a weirdo oddball who really only had vitality in his fingers. Last Train Home is connected to someone in John\'s mind who\'s a lot more bombastic, fleshed out, and heroic. Good to see he has that in him, after all these years of use and abuse.</p>\n<p>John\'s getting great feedback on this song and millions of plays. Everyone with any sense left is yearning for something a little more authentic. To come out with a ripper like this, in times like these, is an inspiring spectacle. Living a long time in Montana has done him good.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','John Mayer\'s Last Train Home','','inherit','closed','closed','','699-revision-v1','','','2021-09-15 14:00:27','2021-09-15 21:00:27','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=705',0,'revision','',0),(690,1,'2021-09-09 10:13:39','2021-09-09 17:13:39','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>We have a fundamental choice before us in our words and behavior: will we serve life with this or will we serve death?</p>\n<p>People are under all sorts of terrible influences these days. They are told violence is highly stylistic and preferable. They are told submission to death is a great reward. They are nudged along into funnels and bottlenecks, like animals to be slaughtered. They are seduced by others who have submitted to death. They are given scapegoats to hate so that the voice of their conscience can be conveniently muzzled once more.</p>\n<p>As a result, people buckle under this influence.

There are days when we are discouraged, for sure, but it is OUR work to overcome the voices of discouragement in the world and continue to walk toward life. We want to burden others as little as possible, to pay them for their time if they help us, or to pay forward their graciousness in some manner than fully honors them.</p>\n<p>Sometimes, and oftentimes in the years to come, evildoers will pick off the innocent.

Partly, some of our choice has been taken away by the convergence of super-massive government contrived catastrophes. You want to keep your finger on the pulse and stay watchful for danger. But some of it is in our realm of choice.</p>\n<p>Getting overwhelmed means that we have a stress response to too much of something and begin to cope the same way we did as children. Some people take on too many household chores and tell themselves they should be able to do more, more, more. Some people consume too much media, start to lose their grey matter, and become zombified and pacified. Some people watch porn and trick their brains into mammalian satisfaction, leaving their ambitions and hopes to the side. Some people wade into horrendous traffic in failing cities and drive like lunatics.</p>\n<p>When we are stressed, a bit of our madness leaks in to our decision making. The emotional register of our chaotic childhood homes and schools makes itself known. We want to limit how much contact we have with stressful material, to the extent we have choice, so that we can remain balanced and optimistic about the things that are firmly within our command. When we get the hang of this, we can build agency - which allows for more and more things to come under our command. Command is not to be confused with control. To gain control, all you have to do is nurse your addictions and manipulate others. Command is to do with your competence and a positive contribution to meaning in the world. The people in control now have no command. Zero.</p>\n<p>Each of us has to start small. Each of us needs to respect our own limits, work within those limits, and build up our command over time. This is how to stay out of being overwhelmed. Stay with yourself. Keep yourself company. Don\'t go outside of what you can do.

I was excited by it and thought immediately that it was his best song since 2003. That\'s eighteen years! What happened with John Mayer? I read once in a <em>Playboy</em> interview with him that he was an obsessive dude who collected fine watches, was somewhat mentored by Eric Clapton, and that he is/was a massive womanizer. The womanizer part we\'ll get to more, in a bit.</p>\n<p>When John Mayer first burst on the scene, I was excited by the vitality in his playing. My friends and I would get the tabs for songs like Neon and No Such Thing and hone our playing until we could get his guitar work down. He had a refreshing brand of pop that emphasized \"adulting\", something which I now loathe. At the time, it was fun. For an impressionable teen, doubly so. I yearned to be an adult and on my own, as most teens did back then. John was clearly an intelligent dude and quick with the verbal quips. I liked that about him and so I rooted for him. I went to a show of his in July of 2004 with a girlfriend. I plugged my ears for the entirety of Maroon 5\'s set, which greatly upset the girlfriend\'s younger sister. She pouted! Stay mad! I remember watching the show and being disappointed that John didn\'t have the bombast on stage that his songs had. I didn\'t understand at the time that whatever is conveyed in the lyrics of the songs isn\'t necessarily conveyed on stage by the artist. Most artists just go up there, play the songs, say few words between the songs, and show off a bit to the crowd. John did all of that but for me, it wasn\'t meaningful enough. I was trying to learn about ferocity, something the flashes in his early work showed me.</p>\n<p>The next year, John Mayer veered off into blues and I completely lost interest in him. In my opinion, he never recovered. The exuberance of No Such Thing, Neon, Bigger Than My Body, and New Deep was wiped out by his crooning streak. He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the <em>meaning</em> of what he was doing. He was smart enough to not be in The Machine but let it use him as compensation for using women forever.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a shot of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyric video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be attempting something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two. He released forgettable fair in the next year but this summer was different, with the full release of his Sob Rock album.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a spectacular song. It\'s a good song. And John Mayer has been averse to \"good\" for a long time. Simping is evil. Simp songs are an artistic expression of evil. If you look at his insane music video for Still Feel Like Your Man, you can see his evil in full form: a seducer, a tradition and family destroyer. It\'s ugly. It sets up other young men for horrific failure.</p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_701\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"937\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"937\" height=\"431\" /> <em>Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks. He just wants to show his peepee to 9/10 road girls.</em>[/caption]\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a huge departure from form for John Mayer. The lyrics are clearly yet again about copulation. But there\'s something different in them. There\'s an apocalyptic vibe to them, with reference to \"the last train home and I surrender.\" It kind of seems like John Mayer is looking for his last girlfriend to snuggle up with on his ranch before the world completely goes to Hell and so he put in extra effort in this song (\"I\'m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind. I\'m out of luck and I\'m out of time\"). The song is better than anything he\'s put out in 18 years because it has a driving vitality to it that he\'s completely eschewed for most of his career. This reminds me of Vince Gill, who turned into a huge simp once he met Amy Grant and totally wasted his career writing crooner fair instead of letting it rip and fully embracing his talents.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home is different in that, wrapped up in his homage to 80\'s acts, like perhaps Toto and Steve Winwood, is an adherence to form and even tradition. He <em>has</em> to include a driving, anthemic melody in the instrumental breaks. Pop music is so far gone from anything that\'s remotely American that to include this piece in a song is almost \"folk\" in its quality. I don\'t think John intended it this way but who knows.</p>\n<p>Another piece that is nice about the song is that there is some emphasis on the band. Clearly he\'s brought in the most top dollar, top flight musicians from the 80\'s to moonlight on the music video and probably on the recording. It shows. The song rips. He lets himself play the guitar in service of the song instead of in service to his penis and you can tell. <br />The song really crescendos when the little hussy lady starts harmonizing. I forget her name. She\'s apparently pretty big in \"country\" music. Now, I\'m not exactly excited that the lady got the \"prime real estate\" of the song. It really is embarrassing that a middle aged man is showing off a whorishly dressed roastie with a mild pig nose in his music video, yet it\'s triumphant cause he KNOWS this is a spectacular hook. He KNOWS he \"nailed it\" with this song. He knows he\'s a total gunslinger in the video. He\'s not simping so much as he is embodying that early glory he once had. A bit of honesty slipped out from under the madness of years and years of ugly simping and made the electric connection to his homage to former glory (the 80\'s). You <em>have to</em> have a bit of that old glory in you to do it. This is why we semi-venerate people who can sing the National Anthem with great skill. It says something about them. In that regard, I am very happy for John that he could pull this song off. He does the same thing a wee little bit with some of the Dire Straits stuff in his other new song, Wild Blue, but Mark Knopfler always was a weirdo oddball who really only had vitality in his fingers. Last Train Home is connected to someone in John\'s mind who\'s a lot more bombastic, fleshed out, and heroic. Good to see he has that in him, after all these years of use and abuse.</p>\n<p>John\'s getting great feedback on this song and millions of plays. Everyone with any sense left is yearning for something a little more authentic. To come out with a ripper like this, in times like these, is an inspiring spectacle. Living a long time in Montana has done him good.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','John Mayer\'s Last Train Home','','publish','closed','closed','','john-mayers-last-train-home','','','2021-09-15 14:45:17','2021-09-15 21:45:17','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=699',0,'post','',0),(545,1,'2019-09-30 11:57:48','2019-09-30 18:57:48','<p>Steven Franssen is a philosopher and author of <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2m2nSrT\">Fire In The Pines</a>.

I was excited by it and thought immediately that it was his best song since 2003. That\'s eighteen years! What happened with John Mayer? I read once in a <em>Playboy</em> interview with him that he was an obsessive dude who collected fine watches, was somewhat mentored by Eric Clapton, and that he is/was a massive womanizer. The womanizer part we\'ll get to more, in a bit.</p>\n<p>When John Mayer first burst on the scene, I was excited by the vitality in his playing. My friends and I would get the tabs for songs like Neon and No Such Thing and hone our playing until we could get his guitar work down. He had a refreshing brand of pop that emphasized \"adulting\", something which I now loathe. At the time, it was fun. For an impressionable teen, doubly so. I yearned to be an adult and on my own, as most teens did back then. John was clearly an intelligent dude and quick with the verbal quips. I liked that about him and so I rooted for him. I went to a show of his in July of 2004 with a girlfriend. I plugged my ears for the entirety of Maroon 5\'s set, which greatly upset the girlfriend\'s younger sister. She pouted! Stay mad! I remember watching the show and being disappointed that John didn\'t have the bombast on stage that his songs had. I didn\'t understand at the time that whatever is conveyed in the lyrics of the songs isn\'t necessarily conveyed on stage by the artist. Most artists just go up there, play the songs, say few words between the songs, and show off a bit to the crowd. John did all of that but for me, it wasn\'t meaningful enough. I was trying to learn about ferocity, something the flashes in his early work showed me.</p>\n<p>The next year, John Mayer veered off into blues and I completely lost interest in him. In my opinion, he never recovered. The exuberance of No Such Thing, Neon, Bigger Than My Body, and New Deep was wiped out by his crooning streak. He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the <em>meaning</em> of what he was doing. He was smart enough to not be in The Machine but let it use him as compensation for using women forever.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a shot of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyric video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be attempting something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two. He released forgettable fair in the next year but this summer was different, with the full release of his Sob Rock album.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a spectacular song. It\'s a good song. And John Mayer has been averse to \"good\" for a long time. Simping is evil. Simp songs are an artistic expression of evil. If you look at his insane music video for Still Feel Like Your Man, you can see his evil in full form: a seducer, a tradition and family destroyer. It\'s ugly. It sets up other young men for horrific failure.</p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_701\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"937\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"937\" height=\"431\" /> <em>Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks. He just wants to show his peepee to 9/10 road girls.</em>[/caption]\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a huge departure from form for John Mayer. The lyrics are clearly yet again about copulation. But there\'s something different in them. There\'s an apocalyptic vibe to them, with reference to \"the last train home and I surrender.\" It kind of seems like John Mayer is looking for his last girlfriend to snuggle up with on his ranch before the world completely goes to Hell and so he put in extra effort in this song (\"I\'m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind. I\'m out of luck and I\'m out of time\"). The song is better than anything he\'s put out in 18 years because it has a driving vitality to it that he\'s completely eschewed for most of his career. This reminds me of Vince Gill, who turned into a huge simp once he met Amy Grant and totally wasted his career writing crooner fair instead of letting it rip and fully embracing his talents.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home is different in that, wrapped up in his homage to 80\'s acts, like perhaps Toto and Steve Winwood, is an adherence to form and even tradition. He <em>has</em> to include a driving, anthemic melody in the instrumental breaks. Pop music is so far gone from anything that\'s remotely American that to include this piece in a song is almost \"folk\" in its quality. I don\'t think John intended it this way but who knows.</p>\n<p>Another piece that is nice about the song is that there is some emphasis on the band. Clearly he\'s brought in the most top dollar, top flight musicians from the 80\'s to moonlight on the music video and probably on the recording. It shows. The song rips. He lets himself play the guitar in service of the song instead of in service to his penis and you can tell. <br />The song really crescendos when the little hussy lady starts harmonizing. I forget her name. She\'s apparently pretty big in \"country\" music. Now, I\'m not exactly excited that the lady got the \"prime real estate\" of the song. It really is embarrassing that a middle aged man is showing off a whorishly dressed roastie with a mild pig nose in his music video, yet it\'s triumphant cause he KNOWS this is a spectacular hook. He KNOWS he \"nailed it\" with this song. He knows he\'s a total gunslinger in the video. He\'s not simping so much as he is embodying that early glory he once had. A bit of honesty slipped out from under the madness of years and years of ugly simping and made the electric connection to his homage to former glory (the 80\'s). You <em>have to</em> have a bit of that old glory in you to do it. This is why we semi-venerate people who can sing the National Anthem with great skill. It says something about them. In that regard, I am very happy for John that he could pull this song off. He does the same thing a wee little bit with some of the Dire Straits stuff in his other new song, Wild Blue, but Mark Knopfler always was a weirdo oddball who really only had vitality in his fingers. Last Train Home is connected to someone in John\'s mind who\'s a lot more bombastic, fleshed out, and heroic. Good to see he has that in him, after all these years of use and abuse.</p>\n<p>John\'s getting great feedback on this song and millions of plays. Everyone with any sense left is yearning for something a little more authentic. To come out with a ripper like this, in times like these, is an inspiring spectacle. Living a long time in Montana has done him good.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','John Mayer\'s Last Train Home','','inherit','closed','closed','','699-autosave-v1','','','2021-09-15 14:44:59','2021-09-15 21:44:59','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=707',0,'revision','',0),(418,1,'2018-03-23 09:05:09','2018-03-23 16:05:09','','depression','','inherit','closed','closed','','depression','','','2018-03-23 09:05:09','2018-03-23 16:05:09','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/depression.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(347,1,'2018-03-04 12:34:58','2018-03-04 19:34:58','','Video','','publish','closed','closed','','video','','','2021-01-27 09:45:15','2021-01-27 16:45:15','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?page_id=347',3,'page','',0),(348,1,'2018-03-04 12:34:58','2018-03-04 19:34:58','','Video','','inherit','closed','closed','','347-revision-v1','','','2018-03-04 12:34:58','2018-03-04 19:34:58','',347,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/347-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(321,1,'2018-03-03 06:49:41','2018-03-03 06:49:41','Email me at stevenfranssen@protonmail.com.','Contact','','inherit','closed','closed','','26-revision-v1','','','2018-03-03 06:49:41','2018-03-03 06:49:41','',26,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/26-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(319,1,'2018-03-03 06:40:28','2018-03-03 06:40:28','[wpforms id=\"318\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]','Contact','','inherit','closed','closed','','26-revision-v1','','','2018-03-03 06:40:28','2018-03-03 06:40:28','',26,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/26-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(257,1,'2018-03-01 23:48:14','2018-03-01 23:48:14','[contact-form-7 id=\"255\" title=\"Contact form 1\"]','Contact','','inherit','closed','closed','','26-revision-v1','','','2018-03-01 23:48:14','2018-03-01 23:48:14','',26,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/26-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(256,1,'2018-03-01 23:47:44','2018-03-01 23:47:44','<label> Your Name (required)\r\n[text* your-name] </label>\r\n\r\n<label> Your Email (required)\r\n[email* your-email] </label>\r\n\r\n<label> Subject\r\n[text your-subject] </label>\r\n\r\n<label> Your Message\r\n[textarea your-message] </label>\r\n\r\n[submit \"Send\"]','Contact','','inherit','closed','closed','','26-revision-v1','','','2018-03-01 23:47:44','2018-03-01 23:47:44','',26,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/26-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(614,1,'2021-03-31 10:23:05','2021-03-31 17:23:05','<p>Steven Franssen is a writer, cultural commentator, political theorist, musician, and entertainer.</p>\n<p>He advocates for free speech, the resolution of conflict by peaceful means (read <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Peaceful-Parenting-Steven-Franssen/dp/B08N99YM6F/\"><em>Peaceful Parenting</em></a>), the wellbeing of all human beings through better diet and exercise, homeschooling, and for property rights of the individual.</p>\n<p>Steven has written about the culture of greed and consumerism created by the merging of corporations with government (<a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Coom-Consume-Comply-Steven-Franssen/dp/1675982252/\">Coon Consume Comply</a>).

They are told violence is highly stylistic and preferable. They are told submission to death is a great reward. They are nudging along into funnels and bottlenecks, like animals to be slaughtered. They are seduced by others who have submitted to death. They are given scapegoats to hate so that the voice of their conscience can be conveniently muzzled once more.</p>\n<p>As a result, people buckle under this influence. Some give way completely and join the skeleton death dance. Some, a great many who are supposedly on the \"side of good\", keep one foot in the grave and one foot in the march to life. But one foot in the grave is a sure way for necrosis to spread.</p>\n<p>To walk toward life means to feel light on our toes. There are days when we are discouraged, for sure, but it is OUR work to overcome the voices of discouragement in the world and continue to walk toward life. We want to burden others as little as possible, to pay them for their time if they help us, or to pay forward their graciousness in some manner than fully honors them.</p>\n<p>Sometimes, and oftentimes in the years to come, evildoers will pick off the innocent. They fly around in death machines, swoop down like hawks, and plow through the good many who have chosen life. We help those people as we can. It is a wicked arrangement. Too many people walked toward death for far too long and now the species is lopsided and vulnerable.</p>\n<p>We do well to honor the innocent who have fallen. We have to choose life in the way we honor them. Evermore, life is the only way to beget more life. Justice only comes if enough people choose life. Justice is a ways away.</p>\n<p>Covetousness, murder, false witness, stealing, idols, slavery, rape, adultery, all these behaviors lead to unnecessary suffering and death. Each of these have psychological, linguistic registers that billions are emitting in unison currently. Their horrifying harmonies are echoing through the world, amplified by machines and false moneys.</p>\n<p>The voice of childbirth, love, good deeds, true justice, order, virtue, peace and reconciliation, plentitude, understanding and forgiveness, and beauty is still quiet but growing. More and more people step off the path to death and instead choose life. Will it be enough to stave off selection events? Sadly, no. The selection events have arrived. The hallucinations the past generations reverberated out into the world have become reality. There\'s no sense in gazing into the void too long. It is present but there is another way. There exist yet many paths to life.</p>\n<p>This entry serves life. So will the next thing I do. And the next, after that. That is the choice we all have before us. The time for spreading goodness is here. Go to life. Join others in life. What we must do to serve life changes every day.

I was excited by it and thought immediately that it was his best song since 2003. That\'s eighteen years! What happened with John Mayer? I read once in a <em>Playboy</em> interview with him that he was an obsessive dude who collected fine watches, was somewhat mentored by Eric Clapton, and that he is/was a massive womanizer. The womanizer part we\'ll get to more, in a bit.</p>\n<p>When John Mayer first burst on the scene, I was excited by the vitality in his playing. My friends and I would get the tabs for songs like Neon and No Such Thing and hone our playing until we could get his guitar work down. He had a refreshing brand of pop that emphasized \"adulting\", something which I now loathe. At the time, it was fun. For an impressionable teen, doubly so. I yearned to be an adult and on my own, as most teens did back then. John was clearly an intelligent dude and quick with the verbal quips. I liked that about him and so I rooted for him. I went to a show of his in July of 2004 with a girlfriend. I plugged my ears for the entirety of Maroon 5\'s set, which greatly upset the girlfriend\'s younger sister. She pouted! Stay mad! I remember watching the show and being disappointed that John didn\'t have the bombast on stage that his songs had. I didn\'t understand at the time that whatever is conveyed in the lyrics of the songs isn\'t necessarily conveyed on stage by the artist. Most artists just go up there, play the songs, say few words between the songs, and show off a bit to the crowd. John did all of that but for me, it wasn\'t meaningful enough. I was trying to learn about ferocity, something the flashes in his early work showed me.</p>\n<p>The next year, John Mayer veered off into blues and I completely lost interest in him. In my opinion, he never recovered. The exuberance of No Such Thing, Neon, Bigger Than My Body, and New Deep was wiped out by his crooning streak. He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the <em>meaning</em> of what he was doing. He was smart enough to not be in The Machine but let it use him as compensation for using women forever.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a shot of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyric video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be trying to something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two.

He always had a kindly Christian countenance about him. <em>Ride the High Country</em> was his last film, apart from one other major role he came back to do 14 years later. I have a hard time tracking down the quote exactly but he left Hollywood out of disgust for the degenerate filth he perceived it to be putting out, even in that time. He retired to a big ranch and spent his remaining years with family.</p>\n<p>When you look back at films from the late 1950\'s and early 1960\'s, the rudiments of evil were all there. American cinema was never free art, nor was it ever truly emblematic of the actual American cinema. It was always a propaganda machine run by evil people. Some honest films were made, maybe a total of a hundred of them. The earlier back you go, the less pervasive the evil was and you would only catch it in glimpses. As anyone these days can see, evil is fully expressed in American media now. There is no corner it does not touch.</p>\n<p>There\'s some fun in watching films from outside the United States from before the 1990\'s when the American studio system starting making large overseas investments. You will see things from a different lens than the American Satanic complex of gradually and subtly denigrating Christian values until the frog is well boiled.</p>\n<p>I feel an abiding love for Joel McCrea. He was truly a cowboy. I think he could have fought harder. Same goes for John Wayne. I think John Wayne was compromised in some way, besides his obsession with Latinas. He was a Freemason, after all. All of the McCarthyism of the late 1940\'s and early 50\'s turned out to be so much worse than anyone could have thought.

This is not inherently a bad situation to be in, despite what some people say, and a sign that we\'re caught in \"groupthink\" no matter what. The group around us may be composed of people who are of sound, independent judgment and they have all arrived to a similar conclusion about how we live our life - a change we should make.<br />The most common peer pressure <em>situation</em> that a person finds themselves in is the one where the person has to go along with an evil mob. Statistically speaking, since the world is made up of a majority of people who do not have a correct ethical framework, the chance is very high that the average peer pressure situation is one where bad people are influencing you to sell out and to hurt yourself. You are not a purely innocent victim because in your moral wanderings, you managed to get involved with an evil mob, but you should not confuse your wanderings and being in an impressionable state with being like one of the mob, which will put its pressure on you.<br />Again, there are good groups of people and their leaders will counsel you and advise you to do what is right. Those groups are just few and far between.<br />The biggest mob in the world, and the one with the most influence over the uninitiated, is the mob of wrongdoing. This mob has many lies to get you to stop listening to your gut instinct. This mob will confer status and popularity on you, if you will just give up a bit of your dignity here and there. Those who give away the most of their soul are treated as the most special and important in this mob.<br />The way you know the mob is on you is when you\'re in a low state and someone is influencing you to trade away your connection to yourself in exchange for short term relief. Your connection to yourself is what keeps you true to yourself and true to the natural logic of the world. You have inherited thousands of years of intuition, insights, and instincts that have allowed humans to know the rhythms of nature and tame the chaos that the wilderness provokes in human life. You are equipped to live a rich life, if only you will self-reflect and listen to those deep notions in yourself.<br />The mob wants you to give that up. You must not be on a deep, philosophical or religious, search to know the truth. You must not be allowed to \"have too much to think\". Your body must not be allowed to get too healthy. You must not experience love past a certain point in this life. You will be permitted to be only so wealthy. If you go past any of the small limits of the mob, you become a danger to the mob. Greater and greater corruption has to be conferred upon you in order to break you and prevent you from being a person who will set others free.<br />The mob wants you to give up your independent judgment. It wants to devour your sexual energy. It wants to get you worshipping false idols. It wants your mind shattered so you will go along with the programming it has engineered. It wants you distracted on a daily, hourly, and minute to minute basis. It wants you to fall in love with the uncivilized and violent. The mob wants you to signal petty criminality so it knows you\'re a harmless clown without an advanced thought in its head.<br />All of this starts with peer pressure. It starts with one or two kids in a low state, offering their version of \"compassion\" and \"understanding\" to a confused person. This behavior has nothing to do with resolution of the confusion at hand but rather is intended to crystallize the confusion with social approval. People must be kept in a state of uncertainty for as long as possible until their lone certainty in this life is that people should remain uncertain. Uncertainty makes standards unclear. With everyone unclear on standards, law and order becomes impossible to enforce because no one agrees on terms. The only thing people expect then is the \"compassion\" and \"understanding\" they were shown when they were initiated into the mob, which the mob is happy to give because it\'s cheap and easy to do so. The mob lives in a state of meaninglessness that it attempts to suck you into.</p>\n<p>Peer pressure can come from all angles. It can come from your family, your friends, your neighbors, and your religious community. It most certainly comes from popular culture, schools, and social media. Some of it is useful. Most of it demeans you. In those moments of peer pressure, you will want to decide, \"Does this lessen my connection to myself or not?\"</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Peer Pressure','','inherit','closed','closed','','620-revision-v1','','','2021-06-27 07:40:52','2021-06-27 14:40:52','',620,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=622',0,'revision','',0),(309,1,'2018-03-02 18:16:43','2018-03-02 18:16:43','.digi-store-site-branding {\n	margin-bottom: -30px;\n}\n.sticky-header-sticky-wrapper {\n	height: 65px;\n}\n.main-navigation a {\n	padding: 0 15px;\n}\n.inner-banner-wrap {\n	display: none;\n}\n.copyright {\n	display: none;\n}\n/*Media Queries*/\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    margin-top: 11px;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\n    border: none;\n    color: #666;\n    cursor: pointer;\n    display: block;\n    font-size: 0;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    padding: 10px 0;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 32px;\n    margin-right: 0;\n    margin-top: 10px;\n    position: relative;\n    z-index: 999;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    float: right;\n}\n}\n','digi-store','','publish','closed','closed','','digi-store','','','2018-03-02 18:19:04','2018-03-02 18:19:04','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/digi-store/',0,'custom_css','',0),(310,1,'2018-03-02 18:16:43','2018-03-02 18:16:43','.digi-store-site-branding {\n	margin-bottom: -30px;\n}\n.sticky-header-sticky-wrapper {\n	height: 65px;\n}\n.main-navigation a {\n	padding: 0 15px;\n}\n.copyright {\n	display: none;\n}\n/*Media Queries*/\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    margin-top: 11px;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\n    border: none;\n    color: #666;\n    cursor: pointer;\n    display: block;\n    font-size: 0;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    padding: 10px 0;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 32px;\n    margin-right: 0;\n    margin-top: 20px;\n    position: relative;\n    z-index: 999;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    float: right;\n}\n}\n','digi-store','','inherit','closed','closed','','309-revision-v1','','','2018-03-02 18:16:43','2018-03-02 18:16:43','',309,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/309-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(312,1,'2018-03-02 18:19:04','2018-03-02 18:19:04','.digi-store-site-branding {\n	margin-bottom: -30px;\n}\n.sticky-header-sticky-wrapper {\n	height: 65px;\n}\n.main-navigation a {\n	padding: 0 15px;\n}\n.inner-banner-wrap {\n	display: none;\n}\n.copyright {\n	display: none;\n}\n/*Media Queries*/\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    margin-top: 11px;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\n    border: none;\n    color: #666;\n    cursor: pointer;\n    display: block;\n    font-size: 0;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    padding: 10px 0;\n    text-align: center;\n    width: 32px;\n    margin-right: 0;\n    margin-top: 10px;\n    position: relative;\n    z-index: 999;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 951px) {\n	.menu-toggle {\n    float: right;\n}\n}\n','digi-store','','inherit','closed','closed','','309-revision-v1','','','2018-03-02 18:19:04','2018-03-02 18:19:04','',309,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/309-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(700,1,'2021-09-15 13:32:38','2021-09-15 20:32:38','','john mayer','','inherit','closed','closed','','john-mayer','','','2021-09-15 13:32:38','2021-09-15 20:32:38','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/john-mayer.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(701,1,'2021-09-15 13:34:53','2021-09-15 20:34:53','','ppeep','Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks.','inherit','closed','closed','','ppeep','','','2021-09-15 13:35:59','2021-09-15 20:35:59','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(702,1,'2021-09-15 13:36:23','2021-09-15 20:36:23','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-700\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/john-mayer-1024x537.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"414\" /></p>\n<p>I first heard John Mayer\'s new song Last Train Home about a month ago. I was excited by it and thought immediately that it was his best song since 2003. That\'s eighteen years! What happened with John Mayer? I read once in a Playboy interview with him that he was an obsessive dude who collected fine watches, was somewhat mentored by Eric Clapton, and that he is/was a massive womanizer. The womanizer part we\'ll get to more, in a bit.</p>\n<p>When John Mayer first burst on the scene, I was excited by the vitality in his playing. My friends and I would get the tabs for songs like Neon and No Such Thing and hone our playing until we could get his guitar work down. He had a refreshing brand of pop that emphasized \"adulting\", something which I now loathe. At the time, it was fun. For an impressionable teen, doubly so. I yearned to be an adult and on my own, as most teens did back then. John was clearly an intelligent dude and quick with the verbal quips. I liked that about it and so I rooted for him. I went to a show of his in July of 2004 with a girlfriend. I plugged my ears for the entirety of Maroon 5\'s set, which greatly upset the girlfriend\'s younger sister. I remember watching the show and being disappointed that he didn\'t have the bombast on stage that his songs had. I didn\'t understand at the time that whatever is conveyed in the lyrics of the songs isn\'t necessarily conveyed on stage by the artist. Most artists just go up there, play the songs, say few words between the songs, and show off a bit to the crowd. John did all of that but for me, it wasn\'t meaningful enough.</p>\n<p>The next year, John Mayer veered off into blues and I completely lost interest in him. In my opinion, he never recovered. The exuberance of No Such Thing, Neon, Bigger Than My Body, and New Deep was wiped out by his crooning streak. He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the MEANING of what he was doing.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a picture of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyrics video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be trying to something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two. He released forgettable fair in the next year but this summer was a bit different, with the full release of his Sob Rock album.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a spectacular song. It\'s a good song. And John Mayer has been averse to \"good\" for a long time. Simping is evil. Simp songs are an artistic expression of evil. If you look at his insane music video for Still Feel Like Your Man, you can see his evil in full form: a seducer and family destroyer. It\'s ugly. It sets up other young men for horrific failure.</p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_701\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"937\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"937\" height=\"431\" /> Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks.[/caption]\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a huge departure from form for John Mayer. The lyrics are clearly yet again about copulation. But there\'s something a little different in them. There\'s a mild apocalyptic vibe to them, with reference to \"the last train home and I surrender.\" It kind of seems like John Mayer is looking for his last girlfriend to snuggle up with on his ranch while the world goes to Hell and so he put in extra effort in this song (\"I\'m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind. I\'m out of luck and I\'m out of time\"). The song is better than anything he\'s put out in 18 years because it has a driving vitality to it that he\'s completely eschewed for most of his career. This reminds me of Vince Gill, who basically turned into a huge simp once he met Amy Grant and totally wasted his career writing crooner fair instead of letting it rip and fully embracing his talents.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home is different in that wrapped up in his homage to 80\'s acts, like perhaps Toto and Steve Winwood, is an adherence to form. He HAS to include a driving, anthemic melody in the instrumental breaks. Pop music is so far gone from anything that\'s remotely American that to include this piece in a song is almost \"folk\" in its quality. I don\'t think John intended it this way but who cares what the Sex Vampire thinks at this point.</p>\n<p>Another piece that is nice about the song is that there is some emphasis on the band. Clearly he\'s brought in the most top dollar, top flight musicians from the 80\'s to moonlight on the music video and probably the recording. It shows. The song rips. He lets himself play the guitar in service of the song instead of service to his penis and you can tell. <br />The song really crescendos when the little hussy lady starts singing. I forget her name. She\'s apparently pretty big in \"country\" music. It really is embarrassing that a middle aged man is showing off a whorishly dressed roastie with a mild pig nose in his music video, yet it\'s triumphant cause he KNOWS this is a spectacular hook. He KNOWS he \"nailed it\" with this song. He knows he\'s a total gunslinger in the video. He\'s not simping so much as he is embodying that early glory he once had. A bit of honesty slipped out from under the madness of years and years of ugly simping and made the electric connection to his homage to former glory (the 80\'s). You have to have a bit of that old glory in you to do it. In that regard, I am very happy for John that he could pull this song off. He does it a wee little bit with some of the Dire Straits stuff in his other new song, Wild Blue, but Mark Knopfler is a weirdo oddball who really only had vitality in his fingers. Last Train Home is connected to someone in John\'s mind who\'s a lot more bombastic, fleshed out, and heroic.</p>\n<p>John\'s getting great feedback on this song and millions of plays. Everyone with any sense left is yearning for something a little more authentic. To come out with a ripper like this, in times like these, is an inspiring spectacle. Living a long time in Montana has done him good.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','John Mayer\'s Last Train Home','','inherit','closed','closed','','699-revision-v1','','','2021-09-15 13:36:23','2021-09-15 20:36:23','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=702',0,'revision','',0),(625,1,'2021-07-10 10:44:19','2021-07-10 17:44:19','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-627 size-full\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/NPCs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" /></p>\n<p>As children we are dependent on the emotional and material resources of our family to survive.

You will also have gained more empathy for others, a keener sense of interpersonal boundaries and why they matter, and knowledge of how to build a strong adult life anchored in reality.

Maybe it\'s sheer enthusiasm, though you learn quickly that most social environments don\'t tolerate exuberance. Maybe you\'re driven to tell someone else because you need some validation. This one will linger a long while until you take care of it. Or you go and tell someone because you think it can change their life for the better and they desperately need the redpill.<br />The thing about convincing people is that people don\'t want to be convinced!</p>\n<p>Especially when we\'re talking about people you went to school with, the family you were born to, the neighbors and co-workers around you - these are not people that came together with you over a methodical love of the truth. Maybe some of this changes over time but efforts to control for it fail. People were drawn to you either because you were plopped down at random on the map and now here everyone is, or because you did stuff emotionally for people and they value having you around for that reason. You survived public school together! Your parents managed to keep the bills paid for 18 years!</p>\n<p>This will change in the coming age of homeschooling but generally, historically, people have made their high school and college friends out of proximity. You both had a similar track and there was some chemistry in your personalities. This is perfectly fine, it\'s just not a friendship or association that has developed with any kind of philosophical standards in mind. This has been the way of things. But the old social order is falling. America has come apart. We\'re not going to see each other at the 50th reunion anymore. You might be in the high tower. I might be on a junker boat in Greenland, selling trinkets to miners.</p>\n<p>Or let\'s take the ever-present example of family. Families who did not raise their children with truth standards as part of the process will turn out conformist or rebellious children, depending on the inborne spirit and will to life of the children. Some families will be bonded in their conformity or rebellion and conventionally we have looked on those families as \"healthier\". Anyway, you turn 18 and you start to look at what you\'re going to do for yourself. How are you going to make it? What\'s your calling? (Hopefully this process started around age 12 but you get the picture). Will you be honest in your dealings? Will you climb the hierarchy of evil that rules the globe? Then you get going on the truth. Your soul thirsts for it. You devour the redpills. The world is cast in a new light. You see the evil. You see the suffering. You see the lost potential. You perhaps even taste a bit of joy or what people call \"enlightenment\".</p>\n<p>We\'re sharing creatures. We share what\'s good. When a new mode of communication is established, the first thing it is used for is for people to songbird lovely things to one another. Early radio was for theater productions. Early movies were Westerns and sweeping romantics. Early commercialized music production was Elvis, Roy Rogers, Jimmy Dean, and a spate of incredible orchestras where vocal harmonies zoomed into your ears like never before.</p>\n<p>We learn the truth, we sing it out. That\'s all good and fine.</p>\n<p>It\'s the convincing part where things get tricky.</p>\n<p>We can\'t decide ourselves who is and isn\'t open to the truth. People so desperately want to bring their families along with them, their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc. because they can see how these people would benefit. The thing is, some of these people are open and some of them aren\'t. Some of them have made their living in sin. Some of them may have sparked the truth in you at some point. Some of them have been steeped in the truth and will get over their middle-aged or old-aged egos in order to be of service to you. That last one is extremely rare and don\'t lie to yourself like you\'ve got it in spades. Point is, you can\'t choose who is receptive to the truth. Not with your family, not with your high school or college friends, not with your significant other, not with anyone. It\'s just not up to you and me.</p>\n<p>People don\'t want to be convinced, anyway. That requires a kind of humility that we lost in the 20th century, when our culture went from folkish into neurotic. Folk and Christian pathways gave people lots of encouragement to turn to the truth. Now, in the digital age, everyone is on a lonely journey. Most everyone spends more time harvesting information from a device (and having their every movement harvested from them) than they spend time working the land, working in a factory, or in face to face conversation with other people. Think of all the social cues we gained from one another when we were folkishly similar and went to gathering places to spend the hours together. People can\'t stand each other anymore. It\'s not all lost. Something is coming to a head. But the road ahead is rough.<br />Some will say, \"People want to feel like they figured it out for themselves!\" This is somewhat true. People who object to the truth when they hear it are people who have emotional impediments. If they have no curiosity about overcoming their personal, emotional impediments - forget it.</p>\n<p>The intellectual arguments you get into with the stubborn person have nothing to do with the intellect. The person is afraid of living. Why spend your breath on someone who is afraid of life? Go live your life! That is the best example. Why mammy people with the redpill? Why be so self-consciously explicit with those who have one foot in the grave? The struggle to life is greater than them. The dimensions of your expression lie in your artistic, civic, and spiritual fulfillment - not in bringing Bubba back from the brink. Instead, try walking around like the energetic force you are and see who shocks to life and who doesn\'t - but keep on walking. Walk further into the mystery.</p>\n<p>People who don\'t want to grow and let the truth move through them and change them will understandably feel abandoned. They have resigned themselves to stagnation and persist at the mercy of the rising tide of chaos moving through the world. This is a scary prospect! Life is difficult and evil is unrelenting. You must love the truth more than you love the death poses others have taken up in anticipation of their annihilation. Don\'t be seduced!</p>\n<p>Choose life. Convince yourself first and see who shows up. Keep on walking. Rewards await you.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Convincing People','','publish','closed','closed','','convincing-people','','','2021-08-27 08:10:30','2021-08-27 15:10:30','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=649',0,'post','',0),(638,1,'2021-07-13 11:18:02','2021-07-13 18:18:02','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-636\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/external-content.duckduckgo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" /></p>\n<p>Ethics are important because they maintain truth standards in a relationship and limit damages. Adherence to ethics means the best chance at mutually beneficial outcomes.</p>\n<p>An exchange where one person profits off of another\'s misfortune is a bit of a grey area because the person in misfortune may be desperate, in dire straights. Socialism automatically supposes that because a moneyed person exchanges with a person in misfortune, this is automatically constitutes exploitation - and then an even bigger bully, the government, must be brought to bear. This kind of paternalism toward disadvantaged people contributes directly to keeping them disadvantaged.</p>\n<p>Much of the problem with modern business transactions is that there are no ethical guiding principles at play apart from \"profit at all costs\". This has happened because of the rise of secularism, the welfare state, and centralized currencies. These topics are too big to broach in this essay. We\'ll stick a bit to centralized currency since it truly is at the heart of the matter.</p>\n<p>We need a business ethos of ethical limits or our civilization will continue to decline. We need a spirit of sharing, togetherness, and encouragement to guide our transactions. We need people given to greed to control themselves and redirect their ambitions into the moral improvement of their people, whoever they belong to.</p>\n<p>When business does not serve moral improvement, it becomes a monster that feeds the growth of government. It rips families and communities apart. Everyone is forced to become a transient.<br />The latest example is the billionaire men who use government subsidy in order to fly into outer space. These men pay no income tax yet helm fleets of rockets and driverless vehicles. Rather than work to reduce the tax burden on everyone around them and take an ethical stand on planet Earth, they self-indulge in literal flights of fancy. This is wrong.</p>\n<p>Government is in no way shape or form fit to determine how resources are distributed. It has the most abysmal and bloody track record in the history mankind.<br />Rather, it is individuals with clarity on ethics that should arbitrate transactional disputes. These people should also determine the business culture.</p>\n<p>The evil trick of Communists and socialists was to malign the early American industrial magnates as \"robber barons\", which they were not, so that envy would be whipped up against them in order to feed the growth of the state. Unlike the \"barons\" of today, those men reinvested billions in today\'s money into community parks, community healthcare, and other charitable efforts to raise the living standard of their fellow man.</p>\n<p>We cannot fault the billionaires of today too much either as they live on a planet where anything goes, the great mass of people believe in cheating in order to make a living, and those with their hands on the levers of power are actively genociding the entire planet. Who wouldn\'t want to get off of this planet?<br />The solution does not lie off-word, however. We must face the ethics challenges of our times. Will humanity once and for all throw off the scourge of Communism and creeping socialism? Will the substantive proportion of civilization-building humans transition the rest of us off of spuriously printed currency and into a trust-based future? It\'s hard to say. The fight is terrible and down into the bone marrow. Stronger stomachs prevail. Will the Communist butchers (now known as \"globalists\") have their way? Or will real human beings restore peaceful ethics and put the species back on the path to glory and prosperity?</p>\n<p>Limits are important. There is such a thing as having more money than one knows what to do with. This means a person becomes irresponsible in their hiring, firing, and general life choices. Limitlessness has clouded their judgment. Of course, this phenomena was limited to central bankers before WWII. In the Post-War era, there\'s a person with more money than they know what to do with hoping out of the bushes everywhere you turn. Wealth disparity has never been greater. This is all an effect of living in a world order dominated by the Globalist American Empire, the European Union, and the Chinese Communist Party. Just because someone has more money than they know what to do with does not mean we run to the state to punish them. That\'s stupid and literally murderous. Addictions have to be starved out. These people are money addicts, enabled by the state. The state is set to burn itself out because it has misallocated money for far too long and people will not abide the state using open force to maintain its monopoly of power.</p>\n<p>Who knows? Maybe some of these mega millionaires and billionaires will provide social order that doesn\'t simply feed into a one world government. Maybe some of them will break away and challenge the norm. That would be highly ethical!</p>\n<p>Limits give us social harmony and upward mobility. A nation has limits. It cannot have open borders. Then citizenship becomes diluted and eventually worthless because there are no standards for citizenship. A country club has certain limits and country clubs are right cozy places, for club members. Why can\'t there be millions upon millions of country clubs for people of all stripes to involve themselves in? There could be country clubs with doctors, grocery stores, etc. But some people don\'t want that responsibility. They want to steal resources from others because they feel \"discriminated against\". This just means they\'re butthurt because they don\'t meet the standards of the country club. And so they run to the bully with the biggest guns of them all: the US government with its F-15s and orbital lasers. This is wrong and is killing our entire species, billionaires and all. Rather, if someone feels \"discriminated\" against, give them the space to carve out their own little country club where they can make themselves as comfortable as can be.<br />America used to be much more like this. More than you can even grasp, if you were to go by popular sources of today. The common person could get ahead. They didn\'t have people richer than them burying them in lawyer\'s fees nor people poorer than them pilfering their wealth under the guise of \"social justice\" and \"anti-racism\". America had an economic order that made sense. But the envious devised to centralize the currency and skim profits for themselves off of every single transaction in the US dollar without many others getting wise to their plans. Now everyone lives this way. Everyone skims from everyone else. This is also known as corruption.</p>\n<p>We cannot live this way anymore. We need to grow up and reestablish ethical limits in our transactions. There\'s no more wealth from previous generations to suckle off of. The clever billionaires with their cloud computing and their strong arm of the surveillance state have sucked all the wealth out of the world. When there\'s no more money to be let, blood will be let. We have to turn away from this madness. We have to limit how much people can exploit one another using the state.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Ethical Limits','','inherit','closed','closed','','634-revision-v1','','','2021-07-13 11:18:02','2021-07-13 18:18:02','',634,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=638',0,'revision','',0),(530,1,'2019-02-28 11:06:53','2019-02-28 18:06:53','I have offered a coaching service since April of 2014. The purpose of this service is:\r\n\r\n-to help others gain empathy for themselves and others\r\n\r\n-discover their life\'s purpose through philosophical inquiry\r\n\r\n-gain confidence and competence in their skills and relationships.\r\n\r\nI have a Level 1 certification in Internal Family Systems, half a Masters in Counseling (before leaving university for philosophical reasons), 2 years of mentorship with a word class counselor, and reams of other formative experiences toward this discipline. To be clear, this is a life coaching service <em>not</em> professional therapy.\r\n\r\nI would like to work with people who are motivated to change and perhaps have seen changes in their own lives from recent, conscious efforts. I work best with self-starters and people who want to get real about their lives.\r\n\r\nIf you need reference material for our work together, I recommend Jay Earley\'s excellent book <a href=\"http://a.co/gY2Cyoj\">Self-Therapy</a>.\r\n\r\nSessions are conducted via Skype and <em>my sliding scale is currently $65 USD to $120 USD per 60 minutes</em>. You can also pay in Bitcoin. I offer a free 15 minute consultation at this time for you to ask any questions you need to in order to feel comfortable beginning the work. You will need a stable Internet connection. All our work together is confidential.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the work is to help you grow at all costs. I am extremely competent at this work. If you are motivated, you <em>will</em> see change. Can you afford to miss out on tremendous happiness and your life\'s calling?\r\n\r\n<em>Email me at stevenfranssen@protonmail.com to get a major leg up on becoming who you want to be.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Endorsements:</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>\"After a string of disastrous relationships I knew I had to seek help from an experienced life coach in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Whether personal, professional, or existential: no stone remains unturned. Unquestionably, I am a better person because of the work we have done together. I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to live to the fullest, to increase confidence, to foster true connection in relationships, and ultimately, to make a lasting impact on the world! I would not trade him for any other life coach; he has seen the best in me and has helped me overcome the things that hold me back-he is irreplaceable and a one of a kind person who will help you turn your life into something worthy of awe, pride, and love.\"  -</em>Chelsea, 27; Maryland, USA\r\n\r\n<em>\"Before I started working with Steve, I was lost and didn\'t have the tools to grow. He\'s helped me process my history and he always gives the most useful feedback on whatever thoughts and problems I bring to our sessions. It\'s been a long and difficult process, but after 2 years working together, I\'ve finally built a strong foundation with rich relationships and inner strength. We still have a lot of work to do, but our weekly sessions give me hope.\" -</em>Michael, 28; Ontario, Canada\r\n\r\n<em>“My work with Steven has been nothing less than transformative. If you’d like to grow empathy, courage and industriousness, improve your traction in the world, then Steven is the best coach I can recommend.”</em> -Henry, 26; Manchester, UK\r\n\r\n<em>“Steven was a tremendous help in facilitating me as I got my career and personal life back on track.  He was a staunch and savvy advocate at my side, as I confronted difficult, essential truths about my own life.  He will give you the push the need, when you need it.\r\nI would heartily recommend Steven’s coaching services, based on his integrity, intelligence, fortitude of character, and practical experience in the field.” -</em>Adam, 34; Canada\r\n\r\n<em>\"I seriously questioned the value of consultations until I started speaking with Steve. It turns out the value of the consultation has a lot to do with how good the consultant is. His nurturing and playful demeanor, broad and deep knowledge of psychology, and respect for his own continuous self-knowledge process made our time together as productive and enjoyable as possible. If you\'re interested in therapy, but want to avoid the weird stuff, I couldn\'t recommend Steve enough. I fall in love with myself and my experiences more and more everyday thanks in large part to our work together. I\'m happily married, working towards an exciting and prosperous career, and plan on having children soon!  Thank you for all you\'ve done and continue to do, Steve!\"</em> -Royce, 28; Missouri, USA\r\n\r\n<i>\"I came to Steven during a challenging time in my life just looking for someone to listen and offer a few words of wisdom, but after our first session I knew he was to become my guide down the path to self-knowledge that I had been seeking for quite some time.  Steven was the first person in my life to give a truly honest opinion of his experience of me, and didn\'t hesitate to lay down some hard truths when needed.  He is helping me free myself from a boring life of overthinking and busyness while re-introducing me to the fulfilling and exciting realm of feeling and living in the moment.  I have no doubt that the few hours I have spent with Steven so far will echo throughout the rest of my life and to countless others to whom I can be an example.\"</i> -Carl, 34; Ohio, USA\r\n\r\n<em>I have been working with Steven for a few years and have made great leaps on my personal improvement path. I have used his help to attain  better standards for life, relationships, and work in a way that creates new meaning and purpose. </em>-Josh, 22; Canada\r\n\r\n<em>Steve was my beacon in the darkness when I was utterly lost.

He is a philosopher therapist and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a strong male figure to look up to, curious about appropriate interpersonal boundaries or just plain lost.</em> -Chris, 29; California, USA','Coaching','','inherit','closed','closed','','244-revision-v1','','','2019-02-28 11:06:53','2019-02-28 18:06:53','',244,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/244-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(350,1,'2018-03-04 13:38:29','2018-03-04 20:38:29','<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-351\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Album-Cover-HUGE-Copy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /><strong>Band Of Visionaries (2016)</strong>\r\n\r\nA collection of 17 original compositions that accompany the Band Of Visionaries novel.\r\n(download full album <a href=\"https://mega.nz/#!ypIGzQIB!w7JqR9idpMksAYmnjse0ms7mQeSAYXG2ExHMvDxQQMc\"><strong>HERE</strong></a>)\r\n\r\nListing:\r\n1.

Adherence to ethics means the best chance at mutually beneficial outcomes.</p>\n<p>An exchange where one person profits off of another\'s misfortune is a bit of a grey area because the person in misfortune may be desperate, in dire straights. Socialism automatically supposes that because a moneyed person exchanges with a person in misfortune, this is automatically constitutes exploitation - and then an even bigger bully, the government, must be brought to bear. This kind of paternalism toward disadvantaged people contributes directly to keeping them disadvantaged.</p>\n<p>Much of the problem with modern business transactions is that there are no ethical guiding principles at play apart from \"profit at all costs\". This has happened because of the rise of secularism, the welfare state, and centralized currencies. These topics are too big to broach in this essay. We\'ll stick a bit to centralized currency since it truly is at the heart of the matter.</p>\n<p>We need a business ethos of ethical limits or our civilization will continue to decline. We need a spirit of sharing, togetherness, and encouragement to guide our transactions. We need people given to greed to control themselves and redirect their ambitions into the moral improvement of their people, whoever they belong to.</p>\n<p>When business does not serve moral improvement, it becomes a monster that feeds the growth of government. It rips families and communities apart. Everyone is forced to become a transient.<br />The latest example is the billionaire men who use government subsidy in order to fly into outer space. These men pay no income tax yet helm fleets of rockets and driverless vehicles. Rather than work to reduce the tax burden on everyone around them and take an ethical stand on planet Earth, they self-indulge in literal flights of fancy. This is wrong.</p>\n<p>Government is in no way shape or form fit to determine how resources are distributed. It has the most abysmal and bloody track record in the history mankind.<br />Rather, it is individuals with clarity on ethics that should arbitrate transactional disputes. These people should also determine the business culture.</p>\n<p>The evil trick of Communists and socialists was to malign the early American industrial magnates as \"robber barons\", which they were not, so that envy would be whipped up against them in order to feed the growth of the state. Unlike the \"barons\" of today, those men reinvested billions in today\'s money into community parks, community healthcare, and other charitable efforts to raise the living standard of their fellow man.</p>\n<p>We cannot fault the billionaires of today too much either as they live on a planet where anything goes, the great mass of people believe in cheating in order to make a living, and those with their hands on the levers of power are actively genociding the entire planet. Who wouldn\'t want to get off of this planet?<br />The solution does not lie off-word, however. We must face the ethics challenges of our times. Will humanity once and for all throw off the scourge of Communism and creeping socialism? Will the substantive proportion of civilization-building humans transition the rest of us off of spuriously printed currency and into a trust-based future? It\'s hard to say. The fight is terrible and down into the bone marrow. Stronger stomachs prevail. Will the Communist butchers (now known as \"globalists\") have their way? Or will real human beings restore peaceful ethics and put the species back on the path to glory and prosperity?</p>\n<p>Limits are important. There is such a thing as having more money than one knows what to do with. This means a person becomes irresponsible in their hiring, firing, and general life choices. Limitlessness has clouded their judgment. Of course, this phenomena was limited to central bankers before WWII. In the Post-War era, there\'s a person with more money than they know what to do with hoping out of the bushes everywhere you turn. Wealth disparity has never been greater. This is all an effect of living in a world order dominated by the Globalist American Empire, the European Union, and the Chinese Communist Party. Just because someone has more money than they know what to do with does not mean we run to the state to punish them. That\'s stupid and literally murderous. Addictions have to be starved out. These people are money addicts, enabled by the state. The state is set to burn itself out because it has misallocated money for far too long and people will not abide the state using open force to maintain its monopoly of power.</p>\n<p>Who knows? Maybe some of these mega millionaires and billionaires will provide social order that doesn\'t simply feed into a one world government. Maybe some of them will break away and challenge the norm. That would be highly ethical!</p>\n<p>Limits give us social harmony and upward mobility. A nation has limits. It cannot have open borders. Then citizenship becomes diluted and eventually worthless because there are no standards for citizenship. A country club has certain limits and country clubs are right cozy places, for club members. Why can\'t there be millions upon millions of country clubs for people of all stripes to involve themselves in? There could be country clubs with doctors, grocery stores, etc. But some people don\'t want that responsibility. They want to steal resources from others because they feel \"discriminated against\". This just means they\'re butthurt because they don\'t meet the standards of the country club. And so they run to the bully with the biggest guns of them all: the US government with its F-15s and orbital lasers. This is wrong and is killing our entire species, billionaires and all. Rather, if someone feels \"discriminated\" against, give them the space to carve out their own little country club where they can make themselves as comfortable as can be.<br />America used to be much more like this. More than you can even grasp, if you were to go by popular sources of today. The common person could get ahead. They didn\'t have people richer than them burying them in lawyer\'s fees nor people poorer than them pilfering their wealth under the guise of \"social justice\" and \"anti-racism\". America had an economic order that made sense. But the envious devised to centralize the currency and skim profits for themselves off of every single transaction in the US dollar without many others getting wise to their plans. Now everyone lives this way. Everyone skims from everyone else. This is also known as corruption.</p>\n<p>We cannot live this way anymore. We need to grow up and reestablish ethical limits in our transactions. There\'s no more wealth from previous generations to suckle off of. The clever billionaires with their cloud computing and their strong arm of the surveillance state have sucked all the wealth out of the world. When there\'s no more money to be let, blood will be let. We have to turn away from this madness. We have to limit how much people can exploit one another using the state.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Ethical Limits','','private','closed','closed','','ethical-limits','','','2021-07-13 14:11:20','2021-07-13 21:11:20','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=634',0,'post','',0),(370,1,'2018-03-06 20:39:25','2018-03-07 03:39:25','','49EF625600000578-5469489-image-m-82_1520362205254','Amber \"Pizza Jihadi\" Nasim','inherit','closed','closed','','49ef625600000578-5469489-image-m-82_1520362205254','','','2018-03-06 20:39:57','2018-03-07 03:39:57','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/49EF625600000578-5469489-image-m-82_1520362205254.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(631,1,'2021-07-12 11:25:27','2021-07-12 18:25:27','','external-content.duckduckgo','','inherit','closed','closed','','external-content-duckduckgo','','','2021-07-12 11:25:27','2021-07-12 18:25:27','',630,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/external-content.duckduckgo.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(632,1,'2021-07-12 11:25:42','2021-07-12 18:25:42','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-631\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/external-content.duckduckgo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" />One way to view world events is through the collapse of general intelligence, which has been ongoing since the 1800\'s.

If we challenge, rightly or wrongly, the norms of our family too much, resources can be withdrawn from us and we suffer. We do no develop the way we need to. We enter into adulthood crippled to some extent.</p>\n<p>               The way a family regards a child who challenges the norms determines the difference between a conformist or a leader coming out on the other end. The media, schools, and culture arm children with ideological weapons with which to pry their families apart. The family has to contend with these challenges, either through the pressure to conform back to the family, through withdrawal of resources from the child, or through some methodology that will help the child to see through the lies of the world and know virtue.</p>\n<p>               We must not crush down children. They will turn into adults who crush others down. They will harm themselves when others are out of reach. They will bog themselves down further and further into conformity, every new iteration of surrender bringing further debasement.</p>\n<p>               The current state of the world is one of tremendous conformity. Those who helm the economy and employ the armed forces are the ones who write the rules. If a person strays from their arbitrary rules, resources are withdrawn from them and eventually they are punished with force. Seldom in world history have the rules of universal ethics and the rules the rulers been further apart.</p>\n<p>               Conformist parents are dangerous because they shortcut the thinking of their children with easy conclusions, slogans, by debasing themselves and groveling before the rulers (humiliating their children), and by indoctrinating them with culture and ideology instead of the mathematical rules of Western thought – rules that made the world a safe, ordered, free, and inquisitive place.</p>\n<p>               Conformists, adult to adult, are even more dangerous because they join the mob and rain violence and slander down upon those who will not go with the herd in its steady march to oblivion.</p>\n<p>               People who have been abused must be remain aware in themselves the impulse toward death, lest they join the legions of people with low agency in their hive instinct to drag all people and standards down with them into darkness.</p>\n<p>               Movements and groups of people who act in unison to free the world from the initiation of force cannot be characterized as conformist. These groups and movements are fighting against conformity. Their requirement for entry is independent thought.</p>\n<p>The evil groups of the world feel morally justified in believing they are liberating the globe from “fascism”, “patriarchy”, and “white supremacy” but their agenda requires the initiation of force through new taxation, regulation, “cyber terrorism”, and lying to children through emotional manipulation after the children have been forced into public schools.</p>\n<p>               Conformists are informants. They will inform to evil in order to ensure their flow of ill-gotten resources continues. Conformists, in their personal lives, keep habits that hurt them. They are addicts, liars, malcontents, socialists, degenerates, manipulators, rage-aholics, media junkies, nihilist atheists, consumers, and welfare-dependents. Each of these personal problems is the traumatized expression of wrongs that were visited upon the conformist in childhood, long ago.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Conformists','','inherit','closed','closed','','625-autosave-v1','','','2021-07-10 10:48:11','2021-07-10 17:48:11','',625,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=628',0,'revision','',0),(629,1,'2021-07-10 10:48:27','2021-07-10 17:48:27','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-627 size-full\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/NPCs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" /></p>\n<p>As children we are dependent on the emotional and material resources of our family to survive.

The family has to contend with these challenges, either through the pressure to conform back to the family, through withdrawal of resources from the child, or through some methodology that will help the child to see through the lies of the world and know virtue.</p>\n<p>               We must not crush down children. They will turn into adults who crush others down. They will harm themselves when others are out of reach. They will bog themselves down further and further into conformity, every new iteration of surrender bringing further debasement.</p>\n<p>               The current state of the world is one of tremendous conformity. Those who helm the economy and employ the armed forces are the ones who write the rules. If a person strays from their arbitrary rules, resources are withdrawn from them and eventually they are punished with force. Seldom in world history have the rules of universal ethics and the rules the rulers been further apart.</p>\n<p>               Conformist parents are dangerous because they shortcut the thinking of their children with easy conclusions, slogans, by debasing themselves and groveling before the rulers (humiliating their children), and by indoctrinating them with culture and ideology instead of the mathematical rules of Western thought – rules that made the world a safe, ordered, free, and inquisitive place.</p>\n<p>               Conformists, adult to adult, are even more dangerous because they join the mob and rain violence and slander down upon those who will not go with the herd in its steady march to oblivion.</p>\n<p>               People who have been abused must be remain aware in themselves the impulse toward death, lest they join the legions of people with low agency in their hive instinct to drag all people and standards down with them into darkness.</p>\n<p>               Movements and groups of people who act in unison to free the world from the initiation of force cannot be characterized as conformist. These groups and movements are fighting against conformity. Their requirement for entry is independent thought.</p>\n<p>The evil groups of the world feel morally justified in believing they are liberating the globe from “fascism”, “patriarchy”, and “white supremacy” but their agenda requires the initiation of force through new taxation, regulation, “cyber terrorism”, and lying to children through emotional manipulation after the children have been forced into public schools.</p>\n<p>               Conformists are informants. They will inform to evil in order to ensure their flow of ill-gotten resources continues. Conformists, in their personal lives, keep habits that hurt them. They are addicts, liars, malcontents, socialists, degenerates, manipulators, rage-aholics, media junkies, nihilist atheists, consumers, and welfare-dependents. Each of these personal problems is the traumatized expression of wrongs that were visited upon the conformist in childhood, long ago.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Conformists','','inherit','closed','closed','','625-revision-v1','','','2021-07-10 10:48:27','2021-07-10 17:48:27','',625,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=629',0,'revision','',0),(534,1,'2019-02-28 11:18:26','2019-02-28 18:18:26','','proxy.duckduckgo','','inherit','closed','closed','','proxy-duckduckgo-2','','','2019-02-28 11:18:26','2019-02-28 18:18:26','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/proxy.duckduckgo.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(775,1,'2022-01-18 11:34:20','2022-01-18 18:34:20','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>Imagine America has been taken over by a network of hostile agents.

The birthrates of the nation have been kicked off a cliff. The future is grim because there is no future being built.</p>\n<p>Such is the reality of the \"girlboss\" in today\'s economy. These women are oftentimes the oldest sibling in an egalitarian household or a younger sister who was pitted against an older brother by egalitarian parents. Another way of seeing the \"girlboss\" is through the lens of overcompensation. These are women who are driven by deep inner guilt over their past wrongdoings and thus latch on to capitalism as the means by which they will prove to themselves they are no longer who they once were. Choose any modern endeavor, political, business, or artistic and you will stumble into a girlboss who needs the compensatory edge.</p>\n<p>Think of the modern enchantment with women. Women can do no wrong! When they wear makeup and post pictures of themselves online, it drives everyone wild and conjures money. Women will do favors as a means of gaining power over susceptible men and then turn the tables on the man the moment a position of dominance has been attained. Women\'s responsibility is washed away by the explanatory witchcraft of \"purchasing power\". They do all the purchasing, so we have to listen to them! What a nasty hostage situation America finds himself in.</p>\n<p>When will their reign of terror end? We may not see it in our lifetimes. The best women all recede far away into the background, never to be heard from again. They\'re like the elves leaving Middle Earth. They leave no trace. There is no Joan of Arc to empty out the workplace of women. No pied piper who will play the woman\'s tune and get them off of social media and out of positions of power over men. The hour is late and yet the West continues in this thrall. Who will break the spell of the girlboss? Consider all the tens of millions of children unborn. Think of the children. It is time for this hostage situation to be over. The girlboss continues on. She says to herself, \"So and so is doing it, so I get to do it, too!\" The nation grinds to a halt and death creeps across the land.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Girlbosses: The Real Domestic Terrorists?','','publish','closed','closed','','girlbosses-the-real-domestic-terrorists','','','2022-01-18 11:36:55','2022-01-18 18:36:55','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=775',0,'post','',0),(635,1,'2021-07-13 10:03:07','2021-07-13 17:03:07','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>Ethics are important because they maintain truth standards in a relationship and limit damages.

Maybe it\'s sheer enthusiasm, though you learn quickly that most social environments don\'t tolerate exuberance. Maybe you\'re driven to tell someone else because you need some validation. This one will linger a long while until you take care of it. Or you go and tell someone because you think it can change their life for the better and they desperately need the redpill.<br />The thing about convincing people is that people don\'t want to be convinced!</p>\n<p>Especially when we\'re talking about people you went to school with, the family you were born to, the neighbors and co-workers around you - these are not people that came together with you over a methodical love of the truth. Maybe some of this changes over time but efforts to control for it fail. People were drawn to you either because you were plopped down at random on the map and now here everyone is, or because you did stuff emotionally for people and they value having you around for that reason. You survived public school together! Your parents managed to keep the bills paid for 18 years!</p>\n<p>This will change in the coming age of homeschooling but generally, historically, people have made their high school and college friends out of proximity. You both had a similar track and there was some chemistry in your personalities. This is perfectly fine, it\'s just not a friendship or association that has developed with any kind of philosophical standards in mind. This has been the way of things. But the old social order is falling. America has come apart. We\'re not going to see each other at the 50th reunion anymore. You might be in the high tower. I might be on a junker boat in Greenland, selling trinkets to miners.</p>\n<p>Or let\'s take the ever-present example of family. Families who did not raise their children with truth standards as part of the process will turn out conformist or rebellious children, depending on the inborne spirit and will to life of the children. Some families will be bonded in their conformity or rebellion and conventionally we have looked on those families as \"healthier\". Anyway, you turn 18 and you start to look at what you\'re going to do for yourself. How are you going to make it? What\'s your calling? (Hopefully this process started around age 12 but you get the picture). Will you be honest in your dealings? Will you climb the hierarchy of evil that rules the globe? Then you get going on the truth. Your soul thirsts for it. You devour the redpills. The world is cast in a new light. You see the evil. You see the suffering. You see the lost potential. You perhaps even taste a bit of joy or what people call \"enlightenment\".</p>\n<p>We\'re sharing creatures. We share what\'s good. When a new mode of communication is established, the first thing it is used for is for people to songbird lovely things to one another. Early radio was for theater productions. Early movies were Westerns and sweeping romantics. Early commercialized music production was Elvis, Roy Rogers, Jimmy Dean, and a spate of incredible orchestras where vocal harmonies zoomed into your ears like never before.</p>\n<p>We learn the truth, we sing it out. That\'s all good and fine.</p>\n<p>It\'s the convincing part where things get tricky.</p>\n<p>We can\'t decide ourselves who is and isn\'t open to the truth. People so desperately want to bring their families along with them, their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc. because they can see how these people would benefit. The thing is, some of these people are open and some of them aren\'t. Some of them have made their living in sin. Some of them may have sparked the truth in you at some point. Some of them have been steeped in the truth and will get over their middle-aged or old-aged egos in order to be of service to you. That last one is extremely rare and don\'t lie to yourself like you\'ve got it in spades. Point is, you can\'t choose who is receptive to the truth. Not with your family, not with your high school or college friends, not with your significant other, not with anyone. It\'s just not up to you and me.</p>\n<p>People don\'t want to be convinced, anyway. That requires a kind of humility that we lost in the 20th century, when our culture went from folkish into neurotic. Folk and Christian pathways gave people lots of encouragement to turn to the truth. Now, in the digital age, everyone is on a lonely journey. Most everyone spends more time harvesting information from a device (and having their every movement harvested from them) than they spend time working the land, working in a factory, or in face to face conversation with other people. Think of all the social cues we gained from one another when we were folkishly similar and went to gathering places to spend the hours together. People can\'t stand each other anymore. It\'s not all lost. Something is coming to a head. But the road ahead is rough.<br />Some will say, \"People want to feel like they figured it out for themselves!\" This is somewhat true. People who object to the truth when they hear it are people who have emotional impediments. If they have no curiosity about overcoming their personal, emotional impediments - forget it.</p>\n<p>The intellectual arguments you get into with the stubborn person have nothing to do with the intellect. The person is afraid of living. Why spend your breath on someone who is afraid of life? Go live your life! That is the best example. Why mammy people with the redpill? Why be so self-consciously explicit with those who have one foot in the grave? The struggle to life is greater than them. The dimensions of your expression lie in your artistic, civic, and spiritual fulfillment - not in bringing Bubba back from the brink.

Walk further into the mystery.</p>\n<p>People who don\'t want to grow and let the truth move through them and change them will understandably feel abandoned. They have resigned themselves to stagnation and persist at the mercy of the rising tide of chaos moving through the world. This is a scary prospect! Life is difficult and evil is unrelenting. You must love the truth more than you love the death poses others have taken up in anticipation of their annihilation. Don\'t be seduced!</p>\n<p>Choose life.

Nobody wants to inflate someone else\'s ego. That would be incorrect and lead to ruin for the person.</p>\n<p>Our modern world has shied away from compliments nearly altogether. Can\'t give someone else a complex!</p>\n<p>Compliments are essential for the development of children. Compliments have nothing to do with a person\'s immutable qualities, such as their intelligence level, their physical attractiveness, or the color of their hair, skin, eyes, and so forth. There is even a good deal of wiggle room for complimenting people on these things but this is not the basis of healthy complimenting that helps a person develop, today\'s topic.</p>\n<p>Where compliments are particularly useful to people in their development is when a compliment informs a person of their aptitudes and progress at skillful improvement and moral betterment.</p>\n<p>Children are so completely and totally failed by modern, especially public, schooling. We don\'t have time to go into that. For the purpose of this topic, it\'s worth mentioning that schools do literally nothing to know and foster special interests in a child. The fundamental basis of especially public schooling is to churn out compliant conformists who will work menial jobs or accept universal basic income and pose no difficulties to the banking oligarchy. There is no articulation of what is unique in a child. It\'s a one-size-fits-all approach to pedagogy.</p>\n<p>In helping our kids, we want to give them compliments and encouragement that contain:<br />A) an accurate or relatively accurate assessment of the pursuit they have devoted themselves to, however basic<br />B) an accurate understanding of how they have done well, relative to how they did before<br />C) an informative stance toward the child meant to enrich their consciousness with further articulation of the pursuit, holding an understanding of their level of enjoyment and an openness to them trying something else</p>\n<p>With these three components, we see that children become:<br />-more secure in taking healthy risks<br />-more ACCURATELY confident in their pursuits<br />-more resilient in the face of inevitable criticism from the broader world (and perhaps in the home)<br />-more knowledgeable of the art and discipline involved in all manner of pursuits</p>\n<p>It is so important that we give our children more and more context for what they are doing, what they may do in the future, and how the world corresponds and interacts with this. As they grow up, our children venture further and further into the social matrix but ONLY if they have a strong foundation of encouragement (through compliments and plain good old fashioned parental love) and an actual grasp of important, relevant skills that will help them to be competitive and secure in their own lives.</p>\n<p>As an experiment, and without taking the stance of a parent fostering another, give a few compliments to the people in your life in a similar drift as outlined here. Don\'t make them aware of what you\'re doing beforehand. Just give it a whirl and see what happens.

Most people have it pounded out of them by their teenage years through the incorrect, harmful parenting that is commonplace. They also lose it because of television (a huge culprit), social media, and public schooling. In adulthood they further obscure it from themselves through the unending distractions proffered to us by the rulers. Usually this is termed \"addiction\".</p>\n<p>Sobriety is important in recovering one\'s intuitive feedback but it is not absolutely essential in the short run. You can breach contact here and there, as you remember to be human again. In the long run, you want a strong connection to that intuition-making core of yourself and consistency becomes essential.</p>\n<p>Intuition, which I loosely term \"first feedback\" here, comes to you in your initial response to whatever you observe. Some people say it is a thought that occurs first and then a feeling. Some people say it is a feeling first and then a thought. I tend toward the former, that a thought occurs first and then you have a feeling.</p>\n<p>Let\'s take a concrete example: your neighbor has a child that screams loudly at all points of the day. The observation occurs to you, through your ears. You have the thought, \"That damned kid again!\" and you feel anger. Right here is where you have to slow things down. Everyone and their grandma plays the \"should game\". They say to themselves, \"I should not feel angry\" or \"I should retaliate\" or \"I should try to help the kid\" or something else. In come the \"shoulds\". This is the propaganda and training we\'ve been saddled with in our development. People really do take their social cues from the TV shows and movies they watch and it has been a total disaster for the species. Most people don\'t even notice the anger. It flares up in them for a split second and then off they go to \"shoulds\" and solutions. The fact remains that there was the thought, \"That damned kid again!\" and anger. That\'s fact. The rest that people jump into, may or may not be true. Usually, it is not true. Curiosity allows us to slow time down, stay with the fact of the thought and the feeling that came with it, and truly ponder the meaning of our response.</p>\n<p>The wonderful thing about our intuition is that it is here to help us. Usually, it beckons us to self-knowledge. If you quiet down all your ways of managing difficult experiences and actually just sit with the thought and feeling, you will get childhood memories come up. Maybe you were the noisy child on the block. Maybe you had experiences in relation to the noisy child on the block. Maybe you learn about yourself that you\'re angry at yourself for moving where you did. Or you learn that you\'re disappointed with the new neighbors and would like to assert to them your concern about the child. The anger has something useful to give us, if we\'d just slow and listen rather than jump to conclusions and shoulds.</p>\n<p>Intuition does not mean we are paralyzed in navel-gazing. It means we are building upon our initial response to things with logic and curiosity, as opposed to compulsivity, stress, and the desperate need to make things more comfortable that people walk around with. All that stuff is inflicted into us.</p>\n<p>Let\'s take another example: a young man listens to music that makes him sad. He hears the music, thinks \"this reminds me of my father\" and then feels a sinking sadness. We have been trained by modernity to get as far away from reflecting on our genuine experiences of our parents as possible. So the young man dissociates into abstraction. He is taken by some particular aspect of the instrumentation. Or he says to himself, \"I always like to look out the window and doze off when I listen to sad music.\" Or he tries to fall in love with the woman singing the song. He doesn\'t notice he is anchored to the music because he has a need to resolve some aspect of how his father affected him, once upon a time. He does not stop the song and listen to his sadness instead. The sadness has something to tell him.</p>\n<p>When people initially dig into first feedback, they will find there is a huge backlog of feedback that is directly related to the sorrow of their histories. For some, this is just too much to bear and so they attack the messenger, me usually but also the truth-bringer aspect of themselves, and to unconscious living they return. This is why starting one\'s self-knowledge journey as early as possible is important. People in middle-age really do have so much pain in them that even dipping one toe into the pool can feel like unbearable fire. Younger people have a better chance. They\'re more impressionable. They\'re less corrupt. They\'ve done less to hurt others. They\'re not as far into the rationalizations for their addictions. But anyone of any age can listen to that first feedback and get something accomplished. Sometimes the true voice in a person will erupt and guide someone to safety. Or it will tell them of their moral failures (quarter, mid, and late-life crises). People may have a dream that grips them and then they do something slightly different from there on out that others notice (\"Bob whistles with his morning coffee now!\"). Or people in a place of danger who have neglected the danger for too long will have a death premonition that rocks them and they pack up and leave for somewhere else. People who become severely obese often have a sustained burst of authenticity that drags them back to a healthy weight whereupon some of them continue living more in-contact with their intuition whereas others will simply maintain a holding pattern and comfort themselves with the new sense of normalcy, superior to the old. Drug addicts will have a moment of clarity and then sober up.</p>\n<p>We can have our \"moment of clarity\" every single day, if we so choose. We can have it minute to minute, hour to hour, if we practice listening to the first feedback sufficiently. A self-knowledgeable person is not merely someone who has done an extensive survey of their personal history. This kind of psychology has been championed in the past four years by \"Jungians\" but it is a tired old trick. First feedback ties a person\'s lived experiences to the personal history, and much more, rendering the person into someone of personal and moral excellence. Our initial response will often inform us of courage. We go with the instinct and brave the odds of being someone who bucks the social trend in order to live true. Some people know enough to listen but then they don\'t <em>do</em> what they hear. These people become neurotic, self-justifying cowards over time who use self-knowledge to manipulate others - usually to throw attention off of themselves because they\'re ashamed of not having walked in the fire to their heart\'s satisfaction.</p>\n<p>All that is very advanced though. You\'ll get to that eventually, if you keep \"walking into the mystery\" as I mentioned on this website recently. Being true to our initial responses will upend our social order, our working lives, sometimes where we live, how we choose to express ourselves, and what we take an interest in. It will cut away all the nonsense in our lives and leave us as moral, healthy, <em>real</em> human beings. Dealing with these changes requires a great deal of tolerating uncertainty. Uncertainty is uncomfortable! It is especially uncomfortable for people who have no interest in self-knowledge. Much of self-knowledge is a private, reflective process - which is the upside. If it\'s a healthy process, why would it involve you exposing yourself to unnecessary danger or suffering? That just means something wasn\'t as parsed through as much as it could have been.</p>\n<p>To go a bit superficial, what if the music we listen to keeps us in a cage of someone else\'s madness? What if the clothes we wear disappoint us and tire us? What if the job we work is massively intolerable and we become elusive pricks to ourselves in order to \"hang in there\"? What if the car we drive scares us with its constant threat of needing costly repairs? What if being in debt makes us feel supplicant and pathetic whenever our boss walks by? What if that pair of shoes we\'re deeply sentimentally attached to actually hurts the tendons in our feet? What if all those jogs we go on to outrun the emotional pain leave us aching and distracted from the real pain? What if we raise our voice at people in order to keep ourselves from realizing they\'re right? What if we start to act like a manipulative explainer to other people, dislike who we are being, and don\'t want to face up to the feeling of guilt that comes up as we continue the behavior? What if our lawn looks like crap and we feel like a schmuck with a crappy lawn?</p>\n<p>On and on go the observations we make that we deny because emotions are icky and \"make us weak\". Stoicism is the answer, after all, right? Just be stoic, dude!</p>\n<p>No, we want to align our life to our intuition, our sovereign judgment. The real feedback is the first thought and the emotion, not all the whirly-gig stressy stuff that takes over if we don\'t make the effort to slow time down and observe with curiosity what has just happened. Our betterment lies through self-reflection. We will hear things we don\'t like. We will have feelings of patheticness, rage, remorse, self-reproach, and so on. We hang steady, stay curious, and help those aspects of ourselves by uncovering a memory, having a realization, changing how we do things, improving our treatment of others, grieving what we did or what we lost, or by adopting new ethics in business. The changes we can make are as endless as our observations. There is so much to engage in ourselves.</p>\n<p>Stick with the first feedback you get from yourself. It will lead you to a better life!</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','First Feedback','','publish','closed','closed','','first-feedback','','','2021-09-01 10:19:51','2021-09-01 17:19:51','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=661',0,'post','',0),(662,1,'2021-09-01 10:09:09','2021-09-01 17:09:09','','external-content.duckduckgo','','inherit','closed','closed','','external-content-duckduckgo-3','','','2021-09-01 10:09:09','2021-09-01 17:09:09','',661,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/external-content.duckduckgo.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(660,1,'2021-08-31 10:40:40','2021-08-31 17:40:40','<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-658\" style=\"width: 700px;\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/jake-lloyd.jpg\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>People without a strong sense of self have difficulty retaining their own opinions, reactions, and decision-making with respect to events in the world.

They build up what amounts to stupid human tricks. They get really good at making a bowl of macaroni and cheese a certain way. They become good at singing in an ugly fashion. They get good at not actually working for a living but skimming off the top someone else\'s hard won work. Or they become skilled at just getting by. Or they do some dumb thing like become the world\'s greatest ______ (insert latest hobby people have taken up).</p>\n<p>To endeavor to greatness in a chosen field automatically means being set against the norm. This is too uncomfortable a prospect for most talented people. The early, egotistical payoff of having won attention for their talent hits up against the realities of modernity\'s tendency to lop off the head of anyone too good at anything. The most vain of the talented will quietly lie to themselves that they didn\'t truly surrender but you see a marked drop-off in the beauty of their output. This was commonly referred to as the \"sophomore slump\" in recording artists. The second album is never as good as the first. Or for the prodigious, the breakout album is always followed up by a clunker.</p>\n<p>The cost of greatness goes up as we age, too. There\'s the old adage that if you have not contributed something groundbreaking in your field by 25 or 30, you\'ll never \"get over the hump\". There is a lot of truth to this. But there is also the truth of working harder to overcome cognitive decline in middle age in order to get over the hump again and again. Add the pressures of civilized society working to undermine greatness and corrupt the soul and the \"thin and narrow\" gets awfully narrow as the years go by.</p>\n<p>Doing something above average takes tremendous effort and dedicated focus, let alone something great. Most people are too interesting in nursing themselves to sleep with electronic devices.</p>\n<p>The West is sinking. It is taking artistry and potential artistry down with it. Those committed to their craft must dig ever deeper to find the enlivening spark. This will not always be the way. Anything less, however, and the artist risks falling into domesticated human tricks. A knack for working with marble turns into a knack for making cookies and muffins and getting fat. A knack for soaring, operatic themes turns into a withering enthusiasm for complicated video games or keeping many browser tabs open at once.

These are women who are driven by deep inner guilt over their past wrongdoings and thus latch on to capitalism as the means by which they will prove to themselves they are no longer who they once were. Choose any modern endeavor, political, business, or artistic and you will stumble into a girlboss who needs the compensatory edge.</p>\n<p>Think of the modern enchantment with women. Women can do no wrong! When they wear makeup and post pictures of themselves online, it drives everyone wild and conjures money. Women will do favors as a means of gaining power over susceptible men and then turn the tables on the man the moment a position of dominance has been attained. Women\'s responsibility is washed away by the explanatory witchcraft of \"purchasing power\". They do all the purchasing, so we have to listen to them! What a nasty hostage situation America finds himself in.</p>\n<p>When will their reign of terror end? We may not see it in our lifetimes. The best women all recede far away into the background, never to be heard from again. They\'re like the elves leaving Middle Earth. They leave no trace. There is no Joan of Arc to empty out the workplace of women. No pied piper who will play the woman\'s tune and get them off of social media and out of positions of power over men. The hour is late and yet the West continues in this thrall. Who will break the spell of the girlboss? Consider all the tens of millions of children unborn. Think of the children. It is time for this hostage situation to be over. The girlboss continues on. She says to herself, \"So and so is doing it, so I get to do it, too!\" The nation grinds to a halt and death creeps across the land.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Girlbosses: The Real Domestic Terrorists?','','inherit','closed','closed','','775-revision-v1','','','2022-01-18 11:36:55','2022-01-18 18:36:55','',775,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=778',0,'revision','',0),(554,1,'2019-12-05 11:59:14','2019-12-05 18:59:14','','dead west','','inherit','closed','closed','','dead-west','','','2019-12-05 11:59:14','2019-12-05 18:59:14','',18,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dead-west.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(557,1,'2019-12-05 12:03:20','2019-12-05 19:03:20','<p><strong>Fire In The Pines </strong>(2019)</p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-555 alignright\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/fie-pines-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"97\" />A noir Western for those yearning for some sanity.</p>\n<p>This book is not suitable for those under 18.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><strong>Dead West Walking: Masculine Values and Survival Principles for The Decline </strong>(2019)</p>\n<p><img class=\" wp-image-554 alignright\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dead-west-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"197\" />On Sale: <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/dp/1099367514/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_zbv6DbHE0R38E\">Amazon USA</a> / <a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S4K7PMZ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_pjv6DbQ83B923\">Amazon UK</a></p>\n<p>What options remain for young men as the West lurches into suicidal oblivion?

I was excited by it and thought immediately that it was his best song since 2003. That\'s eighteen years! What happened with John Mayer? I read once in a <em>Playboy</em> interview with him that he was an obsessive dude who collected fine watches, was somewhat mentored by Eric Clapton, and that he is/was a massive womanizer. The womanizer part we\'ll get to more, in a bit.</p>\n<p>When John Mayer first burst on the scene, I was excited by the vitality in his playing. My friends and I would get the tabs for songs like Neon and No Such Thing and hone our playing until we could get his guitar work down. He had a refreshing brand of pop that emphasized \"adulting\", something which I now loathe. At the time, it was fun. For an impressionable teen, doubly so. I yearned to be an adult and on my own, as most teens did back then. John was clearly an intelligent dude and quick with the verbal quips. I liked that about him and so I rooted for him. I went to a show of his in July of 2004 with a girlfriend. I plugged my ears for the entirety of Maroon 5\'s set, which greatly upset the girlfriend\'s younger sister. She pouted! Stay mad! I remember watching the show and being disappointed that John didn\'t have the bombast on stage that his songs had. I didn\'t understand at the time that whatever is conveyed in the lyrics of the songs isn\'t necessarily conveyed on stage by the artist. Most artists just go up there, play the songs, say few words between the songs, and show off a bit to the crowd. John did all of that but for me, it wasn\'t meaningful enough. I was trying to learn about ferocity, something the flashes in his early work showed me.</p>\n<p>The next year, John Mayer veered off into blues and I completely lost interest in him. In my opinion, he never recovered. The exuberance of No Such Thing, Neon, Bigger Than My Body, and New Deep was wiped out by his crooning streak. He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the <em>meaning</em> of what he was doing. He was smart enough to not be in The Machine but let it use him as compensation for using women forever.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a shot of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyric video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be attempting something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two. He released forgettable fair in the next year but this summer was different, with the full release of his Sob Rock album.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a spectacular song. It\'s a good song. And John Mayer has been averse to \"good\" for a long time. Simping is evil. Simp songs are an artistic expression of evil. If you look at his insane music video for Still Feel Like Your Man, you can see his evil in full form: a seducer, a tradition and family destroyer. It\'s ugly. It sets up other young men for horrific failure.</p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_701\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"937\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"937\" height=\"431\" /> <em>Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks. He just wants to show his peepee to 9/10 road girls.</em>[/caption]\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a huge departure from form for John Mayer. The lyrics are clearly yet again about copulation. But there\'s something a little different in them. There\'s a mild apocalyptic vibe to them, with reference to \"the last train home and I surrender.\" It kind of seems like John Mayer is looking for his last girlfriend to snuggle up with on his ranch before the world completely goes to Hell and so he put in extra effort in this song (\"I\'m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind. I\'m out of luck and I\'m out of time\"). The song is better than anything he\'s put out in 18 years because it has a driving vitality to it that he\'s completely eschewed for most of his career. This reminds me of Vince Gill, who basically turned into a huge simp once he met Amy Grant and totally wasted his career writing crooner fair instead of letting it rip and fully embracing his talents.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home is different in that, wrapped up in his homage to 80\'s acts, like perhaps Toto and Steve Winwood, is an adherence to form and even tradition. He <em>has</em> to include a driving, anthemic melody in the instrumental breaks. Pop music is so far gone from anything that\'s remotely American that to include this piece in a song is almost \"folk\" in its quality. I don\'t think John intended it this way but who knows.</p>\n<p>Another piece that is nice about the song is that there is some emphasis on the band. Clearly he\'s brought in the most top dollar, top flight musicians from the 80\'s to moonlight on the music video and probably on the recording. It shows. The song rips. He lets himself play the guitar in service of the song instead of in service to his penis and you can tell. <br />The song really crescendos when the little hussy lady starts harmonizing. I forget her name. She\'s apparently pretty big in \"country\" music. Now, I\'m not exactly excited that the lady got the \"prime real estate\" of the song. It really is embarrassing that a middle aged man is showing off a whorishly dressed roastie with a mild pig nose in his music video, yet it\'s triumphant cause he KNOWS this is a spectacular hook. He KNOWS he \"nailed it\" with this song. He knows he\'s a total gunslinger in the video. He\'s not simping so much as he is embodying that early glory he once had. A bit of honesty slipped out from under the madness of years and years of ugly simping and made the electric connection to his homage to former glory (the 80\'s). You <em>have to</em> have a bit of that old glory in you to do it. This is why we semi-venerate people who can sing the National Anthem with great skill. It says something about them. In that regard, I am very happy for John that he could pull this song off. He does the same thing a wee little bit with some of the Dire Straits stuff in his other new song, Wild Blue, but Mark Knopfler always was a weirdo oddball who really only had vitality in his fingers. Last Train Home is connected to someone in John\'s mind who\'s a lot more bombastic, fleshed out, and heroic. Good to see he has that in him, after all these years of use and abuse.</p>\n<p>John\'s getting great feedback on this song and millions of plays. Everyone with any sense left is yearning for something a little more authentic. To come out with a ripper like this, in times like these, is an inspiring spectacle. Living a long time in Montana has done him good.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','John Mayer\'s Last Train Home','','inherit','closed','closed','','699-revision-v1','','','2021-09-15 14:03:02','2021-09-15 21:03:02','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=706',0,'revision','',0),(704,1,'2021-09-15 13:59:45','2021-09-15 20:59:45','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-700\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/john-mayer-1024x537.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"414\" /></p>\n<p>I first heard John Mayer\'s new song <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Ne5dVDfLM&amp;list=OLAK5uy_kRmUW2axb9fNk3avjzMEAaMhOMHwT6L7I\">Last Train Home</a> about a month ago.

He fully became a crooning blues man who clearly just wrote songs to get women. I loathed him for it. I wanted to hear the guy who proved his success to his high school classmates that thought less of him. But Your Body Is A Wonderland and Daughters were the bigger hits for him and cemented something ugly in him.</p>\n<p>Not long after I lost interest in him, John became a tabloid fixture. He was bagging pop bimbos. By his own admission, he was massively hooked on Internet pornography for a number of years. He developed this lecherous thing in his personality that he covered up with tattoos and his youthful charm. I thought he was revolting. I resented him for veering away from the rudiments of masculinity and self-knowledge in his early songs and into the ghetto of blues and womanizing. I lost track of him after a while, checking in only when he released the Queen Of California single (admittedly it\'s very well written) and when he put out the forgettable Paradise Valley album because the cover picture was wonderfully done (shot in Montana).</p>\n<p>I don\'t think John Mayer ever got to become who he was set to become. I think he got sidetracked by his own indulgences, to an extreme degree, and just never developed the imagination to challenge the <em>meaning</em> of what he was doing. He was smart enough to not be in The Machine but let it use him as compensation for using women forever.</p>\n<p>I got queued back into John Mayer when checking out his stuff out of boredom almost exactly two years ago he let slip for a brief moment a shot of his studio on his ranch outside of Bozeman in the lyric video for Carry Me Away. I liked that he seemed to be attempting something a bit more grand and orchestral toward the end of the song and made a mental note to check in on him in a year or two. He released forgettable fair in the next year but this summer was different, with the full release of his Sob Rock album.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a spectacular song. It\'s a good song. And John Mayer has been averse to \"good\" for a long time. Simping is evil. Simp songs are an artistic expression of evil. If you look at his insane music video for Still Feel Like Your Man, you can see his evil in full form: a seducer, tradition, and family destroyer. It\'s ugly. It sets up other young men for horrific failure.</p>\n[caption id=\"attachment_701\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"937\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-701\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ppeep.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"937\" height=\"431\" /> <em>Devoting 20\'s of thousands of dollars to a song with the line, \"I still got your shampoo in my shower\" isn\'t exactly cool, folks. He just wants to show his peepee to 9/10 road girls.</em>[/caption]\n<p>Last Train Home isn\'t a huge departure from form for John Mayer. The lyrics are clearly yet again about copulation. But there\'s something a little different in them. There\'s a mild apocalyptic vibe to them, with reference to \"the last train home and I surrender.\" It kind of seems like John Mayer is looking for his last girlfriend to snuggle up with on his ranch before the world completely goes to Hell and so he put in extra effort in this song (\"I\'m not a fallen angel, I just fell behind. I\'m out of luck and I\'m out of time\"). The song is better than anything he\'s put out in 18 years because it has a driving vitality to it that he\'s completely eschewed for most of his career. This reminds me of Vince Gill, who basically turned into a huge simp once he met Amy Grant and totally wasted his career writing crooner fair instead of letting it rip and fully embracing his talents.</p>\n<p>Last Train Home is different in that, wrapped up in his homage to 80\'s acts, like perhaps Toto and Steve Winwood, is an adherence to form and even tradition. He <em>has</em> to include a driving, anthemic melody in the instrumental breaks. Pop music is so far gone from anything that\'s remotely American that to include this piece in a song is almost \"folk\" in its quality. I don\'t think John intended it this way but who knows.</p>\n<p>Another piece that is nice about the song is that there is some emphasis on the band. Clearly he\'s brought in the most top dollar, top flight musicians from the 80\'s to moonlight on the music video and probably on the recording. It shows. The song rips. He lets himself play the guitar in service of the song instead of in service to his penis and you can tell. <br />The song really crescendos when the little hussy lady starts harmonizing. I forget her name. She\'s apparently pretty big in \"country\" music. Now, I\'m not exactly excited that the lady got the \"prime real estate\" of the song. It really is embarrassing that a middle aged man is showing off a whorishly dressed roastie with a mild pig nose in his music video, yet it\'s triumphant cause he KNOWS this is a spectacular hook. He KNOWS he \"nailed it\" with this song. He knows he\'s a total gunslinger in the video. He\'s not simping so much as he is embodying that early glory he once had. A bit of honesty slipped out from under the madness of years and years of ugly simping and made the electric connection to his homage to former glory (the 80\'s) in this song. You <em>have to</em> have a bit of that old glory in you to do it. This is why we semi-venerate people who can sing the National Anthem with great skill. It says something about them. In that regard, I am very happy for John that he could pull this song off. He does the same thing a wee little bit with some of the Dire Straits stuff in his other new song, Wild Blue, but Mark Knopfler always was a weirdo oddball who really only had vitality in his fingers. Last Train Home is connected to someone in John\'s mind who\'s a lot more bombastic, fleshed out, and heroic. Good to see he has that in him, after all these years of use and abuse.</p>\n<p>John\'s getting great feedback on this song and millions of plays. Everyone with any sense left is yearning for something a little more authentic. To come out with a ripper like this, in times like these, is an inspiring spectacle. Living a long time in Montana has done him good.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','John Mayer\'s Last Train Home','','inherit','closed','closed','','699-revision-v1','','','2021-09-15 13:59:45','2021-09-15 20:59:45','',699,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=704',0,'revision','',0),(676,1,'2021-09-07 09:30:11','2021-09-07 16:30:11','<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>People, at their most inattentive, are caught up in to-do\'s, shoulds, and narratives about their lives that may or may not have anything to do with the social feedback around them.

Partly, some of our choice has been taken away by the convergence of super-massive government contrived catastrophes. You want to keep your finger on the pulse and stay watchful for danger. But some of it is in our realm of choice.</p>\n<p>Getting overwhelmed means that we have a stress response to too much of something and begin to cope the same way we did as children. Some people take on too many household chores and tell themselves they should be able to do more, more, more. Some people consume too much media, start to lose their grey matter, and become zombified and pacified. Some people watch porn and trick their brains into mammalian satisfaction, leaving their ambitions and hopes to the side. Some people wade into horrendous traffic in failing cities and drive like lunatics.</p>\n<p>When we are stressed, a bit of our madness leaks in to our decision making. The emotional register of our chaotic childhood homes and schools makes itself known. We want to limit how much contact we have with stressful material, to the extent we have choice, so that we can remain balanced and optimistic about the things that are firmly within our command. When we get the hang of this, we can build agency - which allows for more and more things to come under our command. Command is not to be confused with control. To gain control, all you have to do is nurse your addictions and manipulate others. Command is to do with your competence and a positive contribution to meaning in the world. The people in control now have no command. Zero.</p>\n<p>Each of us has to start small. Each of us needs to respect our own limits, work within those limits, and build up our command over time. This is how to stay out of being overwhelmed. Stay with yourself. Keep yourself company. Don\'t go outside of what you can do.

There is no perfect guarantee that once we embark on a process of self-reflection that everything from before will remain exactly intact as it was afterwards.</p>\n<p>People struggle miserably against this fact. They struggle against their own conscience. Their conscience tells them, \"This person is this, this person is that\" but they suspend judgment in order to struggle it out further. People are taught not to judge. Judgment is bad! This happens to be a judgment of judgment.</p>\n<p>People have a hard time tolerating distance in relationships because distance introduces uncertainty. People are not secure in themselves, they need the constant contact to prop them up, and cling to each other over this fear or that.<br />We come from people who crossed continents, didn\'t see each other for years or decades, lost track of each other for years, decades, or lifetimes, and who braved unbelievable conceptual expanses in order to keep following the beat of their own Drummer. How timid a state we\'ve fallen to. What a neurotic civilization we abide.</p>\n<p>Leaving a relationship or a social circle provokes the pain of separation in us. The uncertainty is unbearable. Yet, our conscience drives us onward. We choose our judgment over their lies and manipulations. They try every which contortion to bring us back in. Still, we go.</p>\n<p>The cost of fake relationships is we become fake ourselves. When you\'re fake, you are tortured by your own hideousness and have to push the agony deep down. Here it festers into a hatred of beauty.</p>\n<p>People who are fake are lost. They are lost to themselves and to others. They are marooned in permanent loneliness. They do not exist. They maintain haunts. Lost souls will drag you in.</p>\n<p>The choice to step away from corrupt, lost, fake people will inevitably provoke conflict. In this conflict, the manipulator will try to get you to embody their misery and then convince you the feeling is your own. They can do this in a million different little ways or it can happen with a single, big blowup. People have unaddressed feelings of homicidality, rage, resentment, overwhelming envy, tragic abandonment, suicidality, and contempt that they will try to inject you with once you\'re solid enough at philosophy and can reflect back the truth to others. Your first rodeo will be the toughest. You will learn the sting of corrupt people and you will choose better going forward, even if it means things are quiet and uneventful for a while.</p>\n<p>People who cling to warm, empty bodies are clinging to death itself. A woman will make herself the Devil\'s bride. A man will make himself the Witch\'s assistant. Anything to not face the desolation and emptiness within! A life without philosophy has amounted to an empty life. Without the distraction of manipulative people, the agony ratchets up.</p>\n<p>It is worth it. The Lonesome Valley doesn\'t last forever.

Time to let it go. Don\'t hold grudges. We\'re supposed to just automatically forgive people.\" This is coming from sentimental people who are rapidly losing their civilization.</p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is that forgiveness, which is to grant pardon to a person, is earned. All too often these feel-goodisms around forgiveness amount to excusing bad behavior without any moral improvement in the perpetrator. As a society, we\'re far past the fool me once fool me twice territory and into the rarified air of \"fool me literally 100 million times\".</p>\n<p>Forgiveness comes out of understanding. A person has to understand:<br />-why what they did was wrong (ethics + self-knowledge)<br />-what an accurate restitution amounts to (and to begin paying it)<br />-how they are committed to being better in the future</p>\n<p>Forgiveness isn\'t for fools to simply dole out like candy. Yet this is the situation the world finds itself in today. There has been far too much acquiescence in the name of \"tolerance\" or \"fellowship\".</p>\n<p>You may not believe in evil but evil certainly believes in you. Those who present themselves like lambs to the slaughter in the name of kindness will find themselves slaughtered. Those who are tough with evil and only recognize true moral rehabilitation as the path to forgiveness will have a civilizational leg to stand on.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Forgiveness Is Earned','','inherit','closed','closed','','780-revision-v1','','','2022-02-19 13:03:07','2022-02-19 20:03:07','',780,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=782',0,'revision','',0),(783,1,'2022-02-23 10:49:08','2022-02-23 17:49:08','<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Experts estimate that chronic loneliness can be as damaging to one\'s health as smoking anywhere between half a pack and a full pack of cigarettes a day.

Irrespective of how you feel about the health effects of tobacco, the statement couldn\'t be more clear: loneliness is a silent killer.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Recently I was reflecting on the importance of childhood friends. I did a livestream where I was joking around in the same way as a friend and I used to in middle school. The friends we have early in our development give us all sorts of strategies to work with, attitudes to imbue, cues to pay attention to, and relevant feedback that help us to be successful adults.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The great malady of the day is the social estrangement introduced by hyper tyrannical government overreach. People are losing their ability to relate with each other. You\'re compelled, by force, to wear a mask in many public places. Others, those who are afraid of life, wear masks willingly. You have a harder time reading these people. You can\'t see if they\'re smiling. Many have given up on smiling altogether and carry with them dead eyes. The movies about zombies are coming true. Just as environmentalists decry the loss of species variety brought on by \"development\", so can a person look at the loss in variety of life strategies. No longer do people take the kinds of risks they took, socially and economically, a hundred years ago. They emote far less than their parents and grandparents did. People are losing their humanity. People have to mount an effort of will to find a smile and since humor is being outlawed, emit a laugh.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>All of this loss of expression means that young people are increasingly isolated with their sense that something is <em>wrong</em> in all of this. At least, those of the young that aren\'t undergoing medical experimentation at the behest of their anxious and totalitarian parents. Indeed there is something wrong, gravely wrong, with this whole arrangement. Children need all manner of input so that they will sustain a healthy adult culture when they come into their earning years. Children need love. Yet at every turn they are shown dead eyes, masks, government tyrants who wish to cull the herd, degenerate fantasies in the media, and time wasting video games that keep them in a mental ghetto the size of a developer with no moral courage.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Opening up to people and connecting is precisely what we must endeavor to get past this period where the West has been deprived of its certainty and dignity. The media may have completely reengineered three generations of Westerners to be undignified fluffheads with no backbone but we do not mend the wounds by doubling down with more of the same. The way out of social isolation is to get texting (over Signal), to get traveling about, to invite people over, to become involved in the local community (despite the insanely prohibitive gas prices), and to spend more time talking, less time scrolling social media. Social media has been a gift and a curse. For a brief window of time (2013-2017), it allowed people to push back on the globalist regime\'s narratives in real time. Due to rampant censorship on the part of cowards and tyrants, most of what remains is the deadening Fear Of Missing Out that keeps people coming back in the hopes that the whole house of cards will collapse and one can watch it from their smartphone. Maybe this will come to pass but the more a person inputs their being into social media, the more \"digital\" the world becomes.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>One does well to input their life energies into other people and into physically tangible pursuits. The mad rush of everybody \"working in tech\" is dying off because the government has harvested all the innovation it needs to realize a breakaway society for the elite. The loophole in the economy is closing. People will need to be able to socialize with other people once again to make their living, not just plug 1\'s and 0\'s into a computer screen that robs one of their time in exchange for some Fedcoin.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We understand that organic food, when the producer is being honest, sustains our bodies better than factory food. Why then do we not apply the same understanding to our sensory input and output? Everyone is chasing the \"meme high\" to appear as a Marvel character who everyone on Instagram will love. There is no imagination in this. When people\'s expression is informed by people who are connected to nature and God, their self-expression has a lot more to do with what is actually real and important in this life. For most, this is a quieter and less glamorous life but it is also a lot closer to what is actually sustainable on a long term scale.

This is a bunch of BS abusiveness masquerading as thought.</p>\n<p>People are dulled and insensitive because the general condition of the world is addiction. Everyone is looking for a dopamine rush and since there is no positive feedback to get caught in for the addict, only ugliness will do. This is how the heights of love and adulation get cut down to petty bickering and paranoia, in a person\'s mind.</p>\n<p>The fact remains that the haters of praise lack an ability to bond. Their circuits are fried. They\'re like feral dogs in the pound who recoil at the slightest touch. We cannot take social cues from people in such a condition.</p>\n<p>We need people who keep a positive attitude and build others up consistently. The way to build people up is no secret: you praise them. The praise has to be accurate and it cannot be disruptive. You cannot give a person praise to the point where it takes over their thought process. You don\'t want to psych someone out, that\'s the limit.

Their circuits are fried. They\'re like feral dogs in the pound who recoil at the slightest touch. We cannot take social cues from people in such a condition.</p>\n<p>We need people who keep a positive attitude and build others up consistently. The way to build people up is no secret: you praise them. The praise has to be accurate and it cannot be disruptive. You cannot give a person praise to the point where it takes over their thought process. You don\'t want to psych someone out, that\'s the limit.

The first being that Stallone has been a big influence on me and on masculine culture in broader America for a long time. He\'s served to highlight some virtues such as tenacity, commitment, grit, and lots of sports psychology such as a winner\'s mindset.</p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-829\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/maternal-corruption.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"705\" /><br />This divorce is not a surprise but you hate to see it. The rumblings were about, Jennifer Flavin released a photo of her with her daughters, it was revealed that Sly had his tattoo of Jennifer covered up, and then came the divorce filing in Florida court. In the filing, Jennifer says that Sly has been deliberately withhold marital assets, thereby adversely affecting her expected quality of living. She contends that he has been doing this in anticipation of being divorced. It is interesting to note that marital infidelity was not mentioned in the divorce filing and judging by social media, there is zero indication that Sly has been involved with another woman. He does have a history of cheating on Jennifer, when they were still dating, and he did famously break up with her through a FedEx telegram back in the 1990\'s.<br />I do not know the full, behind the scenes details of who said what when. All I can do is judge by the court filings and social media. I\'ll paint in broad strokes. That said, I see a couple of things that trouble worth mentioning to my audience.<br />The closing-ranks photo of Jennifer with her daughters gives one a lot of insight into the situation. When you glance at their vapid Instagram pages, you see unending selfies and glamor shots meant to highlight their sexual market value. They\'re fishing for rich men, each of them. Only one of the three has a recent picture with either of the parents and it\'s the mother who\'s featured. Obviously, it\'s the mother heading the shot across the bow at the father - given the group photo is on her Instagram. None of the daughters are so loyal to their father that they\'ve succeeded in dissuading the mother from keeping the photo up, as it unnecessarily raises tensions. You get the sense that Sylvester is broken down enough that this level of female contempt and insolence was a strong dynamic, so strong that it burst to the surface as one of Jennifer\'s final acts in the marriage. She went to each of the daughters, or as a group, and secured their fieldty. The trust in the marriage has to be pretty far broken for this kind of positioning to happen. It means negotiation between the spouses has completely broken down, the walls have come up, and the war is on.<br />Such a move on the woman\'s part is completely inappropriate and abusive to the man. The sisters are signaling that they buy into the mother\'s version of things: something along the lines of Sly deliberately withholding resources and that he\'s being a child over wanting this Rottweiler dog at mother\'s expense.<br />I believe this to be the case because the daughters are clearly living hedonist, consumerist lifestyles and are not rooted in their father\'s love. For the youngest, who seems really out there, I\'d be surprised if she\'s more than just dimly aware of a divorce going on. Wealth, in this sense, has become a guard against intimacy. There\'s this famouns intimacy that Sly had with the struggle and suffering of his life before he \"made it\". He sold his dog Butkus to make ends meet while he was shopping out his script.

Feminism is fundamentally opposed to \"patriarchy\".</p>\n<p>The truth is that \"patriarchy\" is a made-up word, invented by feminists so that unhappy women could have something to be mad at. \"Patriarchy\" isn\'t a thing. By defining their bogeyman as a \"social system\", feminists have invented the idea that there could be an alternative - that women could fill positions taken by men. The truth is that there are no \"positions\" and there is no \"social system\". Men simply dominate and carve out rights for themselves and their progeny out of the harshness of nature and the barbarism of the uncivilized, Luciferian world. This isn\'t a \"system\". This is simply what healthy men do. There are no \"positions\" because these are simply the instinctual things Western men do. So there is no switching them out. It doesn\'t work. When you conjure up these sociological categorizations, at complete odds with reality, all you\'re doing is attempting to steal from men through sophisticated language. Lots of men have taken the bait but many millions have not. These men form the backbone of the resistance against feminism, which is simply the work of the Devil.</p>\n<p>The best way to not be infected by feminist disaffection is to have clarity on terms. None of their language amounts to much beyond separating productive men from their money. There is no need to dive into the feminist lexicon because all of it is a mind trap, specifically designed so that women will not escape its clutches. Feminism simply asserts female disaffection into existence and preys upon any woman foolish enough to believe the lie. All of the liberal smears against Christianity happen to apply to various liberal ideologies perfectly. Feminism invents the problem and then posits the cure.</p>\n<p>The truth of the matter is that when men are healthy and evil is in proper check, everyone is marvelously and fantastically healthy, happy, secure, productive, and fulfilled. Far fewer people \"fall through the cracks\" than is depicted in liberal-Marxist media and there is no society more robustly capable of helping these wayward souls than the one populated by healthy, good men in spades.</p>\n<p>Feminist books and sob stories on social media are ear worms. They will infect any who listen and lower their guard. Remember, there is always a civilized, Christian way of dealing with social ills. Jesus Christ never failed a single person and he never will.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Feminist Disaffection','','publish','closed','closed','','feminist-disaffection','','','2023-02-02 14:58:55','2023-02-02 21:58:55','',0,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=863',0,'post','',0),(859,1,'2023-01-31 11:10:52','2023-01-31 18:10:52','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>In some circles there\'s word that competition is not healthy but instead cooperation should be emphasized to children in their formation. This is silly conflict aversion masquerading as an ideal. The truth of the matter is that competition is an every day part of life. There are winners and losers. For any desired goal, there will be those who accomplish it and those who fall short of the mark. Western Civilization is finding out the hard way that there competing philosophies and worldviews that seek to undermine its notions of ethics, property, and religion.</p>\n<p>There will always be competition, even in a stateless society where coercion is no longer monopolized in a governmental institution. Furthermore, degeneration is always real. It is always a temptation that lurks. There will always be competition against temptation itself, irrespective of the fancy technologies man develops for himself.</p>\n<p>Competition brings the best out in a person. Those who were not raised in team sports or a more conflict oriented hobby such as debate, Model UN, or chess, seem to not understand this. These people seem to think life boils down to a person against themselves. This is foolish because a person can generally conquer their demons and then go out into the world and face down problems that exist outside the self. Competition does not have to be pure antagonism, butthurt feelings, and liberal pearl-clutching where everyone gets called \"toxic\". Sure, this is a competitive strategy, and a nasty, feminine one at that, but competition at its finest is between two males raised in the Western, sporting tradition where rules are respected and a man\'s mettle is tested within reasonable boundaries. Such competition was roughly known as productive enterprise, an economic concept lost in time. Capitalism is a rigged system where the moneymasters win, irrespective of which company is competition with the other.</p>\n<p>As the currency degrades, the competition fades and is replaced by servile corporatism.</p>\n<p>When a Western man has met his match in another, there is an incredible intimacy that is discovered between the two. Such men will mobilize their entire inner lives in order to best the other. Such lofty heights are the stuff of legends. Without the limiting boundary of Christianity, however, there is the seduction to go too far. Greed is the dominant ethos of America in modern times. This is because the game is rigged via the currency. So Western man needs all the more self-restraint when in competition with another Western man. The social order has been obliterated. Honorable sallies and ripostes are all the rarer. Things get taken too far. All the more adoration to the men who keep it mutually sporting between themselves. So few of our peers expect it. Restraint is noble but it is for Western Civilization, not the invading and competing worldviews that have come to roost.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Competition Is Healthy','','publish','closed','closed','','competition-is-healthy','','','2023-01-31 11:11:59','2023-01-31 18:11:59','',0,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=859',0,'post','',0),(860,1,'2023-01-31 11:10:52','2023-01-31 18:10:52','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>In some circles there\'s word that competition is not healthy but instead cooperation should be emphasized to children in their formation.

Those who were not raised in team sports or a more conflict oriented hobby such as debate, Model UN, or chess, seem to not understand this. These people seem to think life boils down to a person against themselves. This is foolish because a person can generally conquer their demons and then go out into the world and face down problems that exist outside the self. Competition does not have to be pure antagonism, butthurt feelings, and liberal pearl-clutching where everyone gets called \"toxic\". Sure, this is a competitive strategy, and a nasty, feminine one at that, but competition at its finest is between two males raised in the Western, sporting tradition where rules are respected and a man\'s mettle is tested within reasonable boundaries. Such competition was roughly known as productive enterprise, an economic concept lost in time. Capitalism is a rigged system where the moneymasters win, irrespective of which company is competition with the other.</p>\n<p>As the currency degrades, the competition fades and is replaced by servile corporatism.</p>\n<p>When a Western man has met his match in another, there is an incredible intimacy that is discovered between the two. Such men will mobilize their entire inner lives in order to best the other. Such lofty heights are the stuff of legends. Without the limiting boundary of Christianity, however, there is the seduction to go too far. Greed is the dominant ethos of America in modern times. This is because the game is rigged via the currency. So Western man needs all the more self-restraint when in competition with another Western man. The social order has been obliterated. Honorable sallies and ripostes are all the rarer. Things get taken too far. All the more adoration to the men who keep it mutually sporting between themselves. So few of our peers expect it. Restraint is noble but it is for Western Civilization, not the invading and competing worldviews that have come to roost.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Competition Is Healthy','','inherit','closed','closed','','859-revision-v1','','','2023-01-31 11:10:52','2023-01-31 18:10:52','',859,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=860',0,'revision','',0),(870,1,'2023-03-14 10:46:25','2023-03-14 17:46:25','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>Discontent begins when bad ideas infect the home. The perennial example of this is the idea that women should be pursuing a career for fulfillment and personal affirmation. This idea originated in the human livestock farmers, who realized they could greatly increase their tax revenue by dislodging women from the home. The main push they made in this regard was through a marketing campaign aimed at employing women in munitions and textile factories in the Second World War. Think of it, the idea had to gain its legitimacy through a world war.</p>\n<p>There are real consequences to women leaving the home to make some businessman more money. Children need a certain amount of attention. They need more than a working mother can provide. Time in the home provides integration, efficiency, love needs met, and general upkeep. These are all conditions that are necessary for the balance and harmony of the family. The more intelligent the woman, the better she will perform at creating these conditions. Lower intelligence nannies can never perform as well.</p>\n<p>When children receive their proper amount of attention, they tend to want other siblings around to play with and gain security from. The more a woman works outside of the home, the less impetus there is to have a larger family. Larger families are healthier families. Smaller families are families with fertility or feminism struggles.</p>\n<p>A woman does well to turn away the bad ideas spread into her personal life by wealthy bankers and their hired intellectuals, journalists, and political activists. She must understand they want her barren, unhappy, and dependent on state power. This is the way they gain standing in the world, as they are a parasitic force that create nothing of their own but simply exploit circumstances.</p>\n<p>The seeds of discontent only grow in highly acidic soil. This is why the universities train women to treat men poorly. This is why the television always depicts men as cheaters, abusers, liars, perverts, thieves, and racists. Just as there was a big con job in WWII with Rosie the Riveter, now there is a con job with Joe Plumber being transformed into Joe The Jerkoff. To conform to women\'s altered expectations, some men will contort themselves in an effort to catch feminist women on the backside of their fertility. This is a sorry state of affairs.</p>\n<p>The most important thing a person can do to prevent the seeds of discontent from landing on their turf is to carefully filter the media and messaging they consume. This is one of the values of philosophy. Philosophy allows us to break down ideas down to their core essentials. History is helpful because we come to know who spread the ideas and to what effect.</p>\n<p>The families that stay together are the families that reject the modern array of bad ideas being spread by bad, unhappy people. The world is littered with the corpses, both real and figurative, of people who pursued bad ideas down too far.</p>\n<p>We need to find ideas that help us to lighten up, find love, build a wonderful life, and tend to the precious needs of children. These ideas stretch back far longer than modern banking. These ideas have stood the test of time. They been hidden from view deliberately by the wealthiest people in the world. Philosophy is the tool that allows us to unearth them. We no longer have to depend on what is floating around in the air.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','The Seeds Of Discontent','','publish','closed','closed','','the-seeds-of-discontent','','','2023-03-14 10:49:09','2023-03-14 17:49:09','',0,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=870',0,'post','',0),(853,1,'2023-01-24 15:09:43','2023-01-24 22:09:43','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph /-->\n\n<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>An ego state is a perspective we take on and experience the world through.

Feminism is fundamentally opposed to \"patriarchy\".</p>\n<p>The truth is that \"patriarchy\" is a made-up word, invented by feminists so that unhappy women could have something to be mad at. \"Patriarchy\" isn\'t a thing. By defining their bogeyman as a \"social system\", feminists have invented the idea that there could be an alternative - that women could fill positions taken by men. The truth is that there are no \"positions\" and there is no \"social system\". Men simply dominate and carve out rights for themselves and their progeny out of the harshness of nature and the barbarism of the uncivilized, Luciferian world. This isn\'t a \"system\". This is simply what healthy men do. There are no \"positions\" because these are simply the instinctual things Western men do. So there is no switching them out. It doesn\'t work. When you conjure up these sociological categorizations, at complete odds with reality, all you\'re doing is attempting to steal from men through sophisticated language. Lots of men have taken the bait but many millions have not. These men form the backbone of the resistance against feminism, which is simply the work of the Devil.</p>\n<p>The best way to not be infected by feminist disaffection is to have clarity on terms. None of their language amounts to much beyond separating productive men from their money. There is no need to dive into the feminist lexicon because all of it is a mind trap, specifically designed so that women will not escape its clutches. Feminism simply asserts female disaffection into existence and preys upon any woman foolish enough to believe the lie. All of the liberal smears against Christianity happen to apply to various liberal ideologies perfectly. Feminism invents the problem and then posits the cure.</p>\n<p>The truth of the matter is that when men are healthy and evil is in proper check, everyone is marvelously and fantastically healthy, happy, secure, productive, and fulfilled. Far fewer people \"fall through the cracks\" than is depicted in liberal-Marxist media and there is no society more robustly capable of helping these wayward souls than the one populated by healthy, good men in spades.</p>\n<p>Feminist books and sob stories on social media are ear worms. They will infect any who listen and lower their guard. Remember, there is always a civilized, Christian way of dealing with social ills. Jesus Christ never failed a single person and he never will.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Feminist Disaffection','','inherit','closed','closed','','863-revision-v1','','','2023-02-02 14:58:24','2023-02-02 21:58:24','',863,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=864',0,'revision','',0),(865,1,'2023-02-07 11:38:09','2023-02-07 18:38:09','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph /-->\n\n<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>The world is too full of interesting people and it\'s time for us to lower social consciousness so that boring people become the norm.

This is the way they gain standing in the world, as they are a parasitic force that create nothing of their own but simply exploit circumstances.</p>\n<p>The seeds of discontent only grow in highly acidic soil. This is why the universities train women to treat men poorly. This is why the television always depicts men as cheaters, abusers, liars, perverts, thieves, and racists. Just as there was a big con job in WWII with Rosie the Riveter, now there is a con job with Joe Plumber being transformed into Joe The Jerkoff. To conform to women\'s altered expectations, some men will contort themselves in an effort to catch feminist women on the backside of their fertility. This is a sorry state of affairs.</p>\n<p>The most important thing a person can do to prevent the seeds of discontent from landing on their turf is to carefully filter the media and messaging they consume. This is one of the values of philosophy. Philosophy allows us to break down ideas down to their core essentials. History is helpful because we come to know who spread the ideas and to what effect.</p>\n<p>The families that stay together are the families that reject the modern array of bad ideas being spread by bad, unhappy people. The world is littered with the corpses, both real and figurative, of people who pursued bad ideas down too far.</p>\n<p>We need to find ideas that help us to lighten up, find love, build a wonderful life, and tend to the precious needs of children. These ideas stretch back far longer than modern banking. These ideas have stood the test of time. They been hidden from view deliberately by the wealthiest people in the world. Philosophy is the tool that allows us to unearth them. We no longer have to depend on what is floating around in the air.</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','The Seeds Of Discontent','','inherit','closed','closed','','870-autosave-v1','','','2023-03-14 10:49:11','2023-03-14 17:49:11','',870,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=873',0,'revision','',0),(875,1,'2023-04-03 10:36:55','2023-04-03 17:36:55','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>In today\'s entry I will be focused on female infantilization of men primarily within the romantic context.</p>\n<p>To infantilize is to influence another into a less mature state.

He is saying it is preferable to be lost in love with a woman in order to cope with uncomfortable feelings that arise from a recognition of the awful war the world finds itself in. Such men become \"wife coomers\". They use sex with their wives as a means of coping with anxiety. This is dishonest because anxiety means an underlying fear, which should be addressed directly and honestly through prayer and self-reflection. A woman abuses her power of influence in the home by seeing an anxious state in her man and offering him her feminine wiles as a salve.</p>\n<p>In the culinary dark arts, a woman will \"soften up\" her man from his tense condition. The man, not his wife, knows best what his fighting edge is - the one he can maintain for the long run. A woman interferes by making the man delicious delights that will \"fill him up\". He would do better to fill himself up with the insights and feedback of his fraternal cohort but instead he chooses cookies, cakes, and nummy drinks that wifey makes. This softens a man and pulls him out of the fight. His self-image will begin to suffer as he becomes 5, 10, 20 pounds overweight. He will no longer view himself as a soldier of Christ but instead as some benevolent family man who settled, nested, and has an \"honest gal\". This is civilization-ending sentimentalism masquerading as some kind of virtue. He was fattened up and the slaughter is his loss of relevancy to the young, hungry men who have not women to distract them.<br /> <br />There are many other forms of wife simping worth discussing but we will save those for a future book!</p>\n<!-- /wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->','Against Wife Simping','','inherit','closed','closed','','877-autosave-v1','','','2023-04-07 09:41:31','2023-04-07 16:41:31','',877,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=882',0,'revision','',0),(883,1,'2023-04-07 09:41:37','2023-04-07 16:41:37','','woman-cooking-for-husband-1','','inherit','closed','closed','','woman-cooking-for-husband-1','','','2023-04-07 09:41:37','2023-04-07 16:41:37','',877,'https://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/woman-cooking-for-husband-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(885,1,'2023-04-13 13:53:13','2023-04-13 20:53:13','<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph /-->\n\n<!-- wp:tadv/classic-paragraph -->\n<p>The vast majority of people have made essential, irreversible compromises by the age of 21 that set them off of the path of full honesty.</p>\n<p>The most common of these compromises is in their choice of romantic relationship.

He works along the way to rehabilitate himself and become a person who finally makes a difference in the world for good.</span>\r\n\r\nMatthew Bruce Alexander, author of the acclaimed anarchist science fiction novel <a href=\"http://withurwe.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Withur We</a>, said this about the writing, <em>“You have a great imagination and I laughed out loud at a lot of what went on in the story….(the writing) is straightforward, simple and clear.

I consider this album the crown jewel of Springsteen\'s catalog. It retains all of the fire and thunder of his early years. It captures the desolation and anguish Bruce paid for becoming legally entwined with an inadequate and jealous manager, a lesser man he battled in court for 10 months over commissions, contracts, and legal minutiae. Springsteen went on to become a musical superstar and a major torch bearer of American songwriting. Mark Appel, the former manager, contributed absolutely nothing to the music industry after his legal battle with Springsteen.\r\nThe wounds left in Bruce as a result of this legal battle and forced hiatus from recording, as well as the older wounds triggered up by the battle, gave the artist an edge and a determination to survive, live, and thrive by the force of his artistic will. This mix of suffering, grit, and redemption is captured perfectly in Darkness On The Edge of Town.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1789\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1789 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/seegerspringsteen-300x269.jpg\" alt=\"seegerspringsteen\" width=\"300\" height=\"269\" /> With Pete Seeger in 1996[/caption]\r\n\r\nBefore proceeding, I thought it worth mentioning that as Springsteen has not yet released a substantive autobiography, this essay should be regarded as theoretical and speculative (though I tend to think there\'s a good dose of truth in it). It is my contention that had Bruce self-reflected more closely and intimately in the years after his battle with Mark Appel, he would not have so prone to adopt the working class politics he imbibed from populist authors such as John Steinbeck proceeding the Darkness... release and tour and preceding the release of his album Nebraska. Had Springsteen sought repair through psychotherapy instead of the intellectual abstraction of progressive politics and the anti-authoritarian stylings of Pete Seeger and others, he would have confronted the horror and terror of having had a father who loathed his long hair and his guitar and whom sought to influence him as a teen to become a lawyer, a father who sought to destroy his artistic spirit through the lens of legality. Bruce was compelled to repeat this drama as an adult by unconsciously choosing an exploitative and unambitious manager, Mark Appel, who would once again put the artist\'s creative soul on trial.\r\n\r\nThe last song on the album, \"Badlands,\" approximates most accurately the struggle to cope and survive with another trial on his original voice:\r\n<blockquote><em>I wanna spit in the face of these...</em>\r\n<em>Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,</em>\r\n<em>Let the broken hearts stand</em>\r\n<em>As the price you\'ve gotta pay,</em>\r\n<em>We\'ll keep pushin\' \'til it\'s understood,</em>\r\n<em>And these badlands start treating us good.</em></blockquote>\r\nReplace the word \"badlands\" with the word \"parents\" and we see clearly a young man who was exploited constantly by his parents because of his great musical gifts. I personally relate and sympathize with this man\'s experience given my exploitation at the hands of my parents, particularly my mother, for my gifts as a healer. I also had a father who sought to stifle my artistic voice, a man who nurtured secret hopes that I would join the military where \"a man would be made\" out of me. Springsteen had to fight to preserve his gifts and to retain his original sense of what it meant to become a man in the face of pressure from his parents. More on that in a bit.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1782\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1782 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bruce1-480x360-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"bruce1-480x360\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /> Darkness Tour[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe <em>Darkness On The Edge of Town</em> years for Springsteen were perhaps his most lucid, as evidenced by the heights of his band\'s musical performances during the album\'s tour that have long since become rock n\' roll lore, yet no one was the \"adult in the room\" to witness Bruce\'s true plight. There was no true, benevolent father figure to help Bruce grieve the dampening of his childhood brilliance by a judging and somber father. To his credit, Bruce did work to build within himself that benevolent father figure and he did attend some therapy in the late 80\'s and early 90\'s, perhaps more. With <em>Darkness.., </em>however, his fans and listeners became his witnesses. He bore his soul openly during the album\'s tour, saying this during the famous August 9th 1978 Cleveland show at The Agora:\r\n<blockquote><em>They (parents) said, \"You gotta get serious. It\'s time that you put that guitar down. It\'s okay for a hobby but you\'re not gonna get anywhere with that.\"</em></blockquote>\r\nAs with any subject that strays near his emotional suffering, Bruce chuckles off the path that leads to grieving and takes up a wild story instead. While the defense is magically charming and has earned Bruce the adoration of millions of listeners (including the fans in attendance that night), the roots of sorrow, anger, and terror remained untouched and unprocessed.\r\n\r\nThe wild stories of his younger years as a songwriter, stories of innocent players in the free market, have turned into somber stories of working class heroes, immigrants, and outcasts as Bruce has aged. His anger at his father\'s profound judgement and betrayal remains ungrieved, hidden behind the chuckle and wink of a gypsy.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1784\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1784 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/obamasprinsteen-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"obamasprinsteen\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /> With Barack Obama in 2012[/caption]\r\n\r\nIn terms of coping mechanisms, what saves us as children kills us adults. Nearly 40 years have now passed since <em>Darkness...</em> was released and one of Bruce\'s primary dramas was relived. The coping the man has used to offset the horror of his father\'s betrayal has now solidified and twisted its way through his personality. We can see it in his open support of socialist politicians such as Barack Obama and Marxist artists such as Tom Morello. Bruce has been unable to fully process what was done to him in childhood and what he re-enacted as a young adult. He has become a betrayer: of the promise his childhood once held before his father sought to kill his artistry, and the promise his musical career once held (Born To Run held the recipe to the next stage of evolution for rock n\' roll) before Mark Appel dragged him down into a year out of the studio at the fever pitch of his musical vitality. Bruce Springsteen\'s politics kill the working class while his music seeks to build it up. The heights of artistic achievement of Born To Run cannot again be reached when there is no middle class left in the USA to support truly vibrant, virtuousic, and full music. Young musicians are not incentivized to practice assiduously and take artistic risks when their parents are on government welfare programs as a result of socialist politics, hardly lifting a finger to set good examples for their children. Bruce remains fundamentally split off from himself and his father\'s treachery remains embedded in his personality. He never truly grieved the betrayal and in a certain sense, he has never truly left the courtroom of his childhood. His continued advocacy of progressive politics is our proof.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1786\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1786 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bruce-springsteen-1408533206-view-1-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"bruce-springsteen-1408533206-view-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" /> Senior photo[/caption]\r\n\r\n<em>Darkness On The Edge Of Town</em> bares open the artist\'s core wounds for everyone to witness.

I lost some sleep thinking things over.\r\nI decided I’m not ready to do that yet. I’m too curious about the novels and music albums I have cooking up. I’m too curious about philosophy, saying things publicly that break from the norm and push the dialogue of civilization forward. I’m too curious about attempting to work with the brightest and the most healed by spending my working hours on my personal development rather than on courses and supervision meetings and continuing education hours and placements and paperwork and peer journals.</p>\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"a048\" class=\"graf--figure graf-after--p\">\r\n<div class=\"aspectRatioPlaceholder is-locked\">\r\n<div class=\"aspect-ratio-fill\">\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"350\"]<img class=\"progressiveMedia-image js-progressiveMedia-image\" src=\"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*YRSZbK4TLgaR0VjqPGw3cw.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"210\" data-src=\"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*YRSZbK4TLgaR0VjqPGw3cw.jpeg\" /> Desolation by Pierre-Etienne Travers[/caption]\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</figure>\r\n<p id=\"49c9\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--figure\">I may return to the counseling program and finish up. There are most certainly benefits to working within the system and some of the people I most look up to have done a lot of good within it. It’s just that there are some things I want to attend to NOW and don’t want to put off for the sake of official training. Up until now I have been able to “have it all” but I have my limits and this essay is a way of acknowledging them.</p>\r\n<p id=\"752d\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">I don’t have a license and a degree in counseling and I’ve deliberately stepped off of that path for now. I can’t bill insurance clients. In most legal jurisdictions I can’t “hang a shingle” and have a physical office. I have no referral network and I can’t sign up for sites like Psychology Today. I likely shouldn’t term myself a “therapist” anymore as any person within the industry with a grudge could try to take me down and be legally supported in doing so.</p>\r\n<p id=\"bba2\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">For now, it’s worth it.</p>\r\n<p id=\"0bd9\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">I am making myself more vulnerable here. I want to work with people who have studied themselves in self knowledge and philosophy. I am going to advertise my services. I’m going to ask for donations. If you have received value from my essays and videos, I ask that you refer someone to me or even drop me a line yourself and we can do good work together. More than a “thumbs up” or a “like”, that is what’s going to allow me to support myself and continue to do real work with people. I don’t want to move overseas again to drop my cost of living down. I want to live here in the USA and pay my bills doing what I love so dearly.</p>\r\n<p id=\"5a6f\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">I’m taking a chance on a potential society where merits in regard to self knowledge and self therapy are recognized without State intervention and that the financial incentives follow that structure.</p>\r\n<p id=\"38f4\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p graf--last\">I could use your help.</p>','Entering A Valley Of Uncertainty','','inherit','closed','closed','','40-revision-v1','','','2016-03-23 04:29:36','2016-03-23 04:29:36','',40,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/40-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(42,1,'2016-03-05 04:29:49','2016-03-05 04:29:49','<p id=\"f4ec\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--h3\">I was contacted in the beginning of July last year by a producer working for an Academy Award winning production company based out of NYC. The producer got in touch based on my YouTube channel and on their experience of my being a person of candor. Later I would find out this person had a parent who had been a trauma therapist for many years. I found the producer to be engaging and kind. They asked me questions about my experience with Freedomainradio:\r\n<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">-How did you first discover FDR?</em>\r\n-<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Can you tell me about where you were in your life when you found FDR?\r\n-What was it about Stefan Molyneux’s ideas that touched you?\r\n-How has your participation in FDR shaped the person you are today?</em></p>\r\n<p id=\"cf44\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">After a pair of phone calls where the producer asked me general questions about my life, my ideas on psychology and self-knowledge, and my experience of having been a Freedomainradio listener, it was agreed that a documentary team would fly out to my then-home in Beaverton, Oregon. My impression from the producer was that the final product they were shooting for would be a “balanced look” at Freedomainradio unlike media pieces done on it in the past. This is nearly verbatim what the person said to me in the phone call. I figured the final product would slant slightly negative on FDR but that my contributions would shine a light on breaking from one’s family of origin. I was told my segment would be 5 minutes of the 30 minutes allotted for the show. An assurance was made to me that some of my views on healing from childhood trauma would be included. It’s worth noting that I told the producer that I had no quarrel with Freedomainradio or its listeners.\r\nI had no idea the documentary would be on Showtime but I did know it would be on a major cable network. I was really excited to be around a professional film crew and learn all about an industry I’ve had so little experience with. There was also some talk about going to a mountain river and getting shots of me jumping off a cliff into a swimming hole.</p>\r\n<p id=\"5b87\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">The documentary team flew in to Oregon in the middle of July and spent the large part of two business days filming me at my home and at nearby Forest Park. They set up a bunch of very expensive camera equipment and were clearly very competent at their craft. The interview was a lot of fun! It was essentially like answering the “Who will build the roads?” question for psychology, self-knowledge, and philosophy from a very curious and intelligent person. My interviewer had clearly done their research and beneath their professional demeanor I sensed a genuine desire for some measure of truth. I talked about the rational basis for a person to leave their family of origin, how old-time Statist media gatekeepers are beginning to be blown out in this Internet age, and what benefits I got out of Freedomainradio. The interviewer was very respectful of a couple no-fly zones I named beforehand (stuff I’m not currently processed on). I had the thought, “Good boundaries!” The interview was 3.5 hours long. The last 90 minutes of it seemed to become a fun game of “Who can stump Steve?” with questions from some of the crew being funneled in through the interviewer. Thinking back on it, they were clearly asking me questions for their own personal clarity and probably most of it wouldn’t make it into the final cut. I was aware not to answer as a person providing therapy but as a person who takes an interest in philosophy, etc.\r\nDuring the breaks I watched the crew do their thing and learned a lot about how high level documentary teams work. The people were very nice to me and I learned all about their filming experiences in far-flung places. There was some talk about some of my ideas on parenting and self-therapy here and there. They bought me lunch on each day and offered to get me Starbucks (I declined).\r\nThere were only a few questions (out of like a hundred) that were a bit “fish for the dirt on Molyneux/FDR” to me. I remember being asked:\r\n-How much money have you donated to Freedomainradio over the years? <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">(I said “I don’t remember but thinking about it, I’d like to give some more”; I have since donated more.)</em>\r\n-What is Stefan Molyneux like as a father and as a person? <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">(I responded, “I have never had a personal relationship with him nor met him in person so I don’t know.”)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"fb10\" class=\"graf--figure graf-after--p\">\r\n<div class=\"aspectRatioPlaceholder is-locked\">\r\n<div class=\"aspectRatioPlaceholder-fill\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"progressiveMedia js-progressiveMedia graf-image is-canvasLoaded is-imageLoaded\" data-image-id=\"1*5JWSzu6b_gJ07LpDkOh4rg.jpeg\" data-width=\"1800\" data-height=\"1200\" data-action=\"zoom\" data-action-value=\"1*5JWSzu6b_gJ07LpDkOh4rg.jpeg\" data-scroll=\"native\"><canvas class=\"progressiveMedia-canvas js-progressiveMedia-canvas\" width=\"75\" height=\"50\"></canvas><img class=\"progressiveMedia-image js-progressiveMedia-image\" src=\"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5JWSzu6b_gJ07LpDkOh4rg.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5JWSzu6b_gJ07LpDkOh4rg.jpeg\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</figure>\r\n<p id=\"61cc\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--figure\">After the interview I remember being surprised and thinking to myself that there really wasn’t much of a “gossip” component to the interview at all.\r\nThe rest of the filming was a lot of fun. They had me bang on my drums for a bit and make one of my YouTube videos, filming me in the process.\r\nThe last shots filmed were of me walking in Forest Park in the bloom of summer. It’s the opening scene in my segment.\r\nBetween filming and the actual airing of the Dark Net episode there wasn’t much happening. I did get a nice card from the producer saying that after our filming, the crew couldn’t stop talking about my ideas. I felt good about that.</p>\r\n<p id=\"9aa9\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">The promos for the show came out and it was clear this was going to be a “cautionary” style show about the “dark side” of the Internet. Eventually it came out that the episode I’d be in would be titled “Trapped”. I wrote and expressed my displeasure to the producer, whose production company is wholly separate from Showtime. From the exchange I came away with the impression that the production crew had a particular perspective on the Freedomainradio-related portion of the episode and that the Showtime writers had a different perspective. Showtime writers named the episode “Trapped”. I suspect those 5 minutes I was likely to get were cut down to 2 minutes because of Showtime. I think I understand. Alice Miller-flavored thoughts on childhood trauma and the plight of children from a young guy who’s wholly sober don’t exactly “bring in the ratings”. Gossip and dysfunction are the names of the game for these big-time TV networks.</p>\r\n<p id=\"d3ea\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">I’m disappointed but not too surprised that the final product came out the way it did. I thought the fellow using drone technology and the Internet to have some semblance of engagement with society was interesting. I thought the segment on the woman with electromagnetic hypersensitivity was sad and misguided. I thought the piece on the woman who returned to her family was also very sad and confused. I thought my bit was pretty solid and I was able to convey a lot of truth in just a short bit of time. I wish they’d given me more air time!\r\nI don’t so much see the Freedomainradio component of the episode as a hit piece, though it is in some respects, as much as I see it as woefully behind the times and a little cringe. I happen to think the family is the world’s foremost cult, with children as slaves to their parents’ dysfunction. I made that much clear during the interview. However, I do not think the family must be destroyed. It must be restructured to solely serve the learning and growth of children.</p>\r\n<p id=\"c37c\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">For those who care: where I stand is that I do not think Freedomainradio is a cult. I made that much clear to the producer before the documentary crew came out to my home. I do think that Stefan Molyneux made mistakes with some of the people he allowed into his home early on and has since learned from those mistakes. I myself made similar mistakes and have done my own part to learn and become better. I know some of the people who went to those first FDR BBQ’s and I think they’re high quality people. I have never made contact of any kind with anyone who has come out saying that Freedomainradio is a cult or some variant thereof.\r\nI do listen to Freedomainradio a few times a month and donate accordingly. I find some of the race, IQ, and immigration shows interesting these days. I’m also having a blast seeing Donald Trump demolish the liberal media and the Republican establishment; Stefan Molyneux’s commentary here has been fun.</p>\r\n<p id=\"bbfe\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p\">I’m grateful to the documentary crew who came out to film me. I learned a lot about how filming works and had a lot of my opinion on big TV networks confirmed to me. I think I grew as a person from the experience. Otherwise I would not have done it.

I was making it to that place I really wanted to go.</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Some favorites of mine from this album are <em>Keep On Walking, Summer Roadtrip, and Snap Out Of It.\r\n</em>(Click to each track title to download the  320 kbps MP3)\r\n(lyrics in RTF format <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Glimpse-of-Truth-lyrics.rtf\">here</a>)</p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\"><strong>1. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/01-Keep-On-Walking.mp3\">Keep On Walking</a>\r\n</strong><strong>2. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/02-Jane.mp3\">Jane</a></strong>\r\n<strong>3. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/03-Snap-Out-Of-It.mp3\">Snap Out Of It</a>\r\n</strong><strong>4. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/04-Tornado-2.mp3\">Tornado</a>\r\n</strong><strong>5. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/05-Devils-Chain-Gang.mp3\">Devil\'s Chain Gang</a>\r\n</strong><strong>6. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/06-Dust-Bowl.mp3\">Dust Bowl</a>\r\n</strong><strong>7. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/07-Summer-Roadtrip.mp3\">Summer Roadtrip</a>\r\n</strong><strong>8. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/08-Natural-Lyrical.mp3\">Natural, Lyrical</a>\r\n</strong><strong>9. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/09-Racing.mp3\">Racing</a>\r\n</strong><strong>10. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/10-Proud.mp3\">Proud</a>\r\n</strong><strong>11. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/11-The-Jam-Riches.mp3\">The Jam (Riches)</a>\r\n</strong><strong>12. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/12-Man-Of-My-Word.mp3\">Man Of My Word</a>\r\n</strong><strong>13. <a href=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/13-Dance-And-A-Smile.mp3\">Dance And A Smile</a></strong></p>','(2009) Glimpse Of Truth','','inherit','closed','closed','','46-revision-v1','','','2016-03-23 04:49:28','2016-03-23 04:49:28','',46,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/46-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(48,1,'2016-03-23 04:49:59','2016-03-23 04:49:59','<p style=\"color: #555555;\"><span style=\"color: #555555;\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1708\" src=\"http://www.stevensummerstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Front-Cover-Volition-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Front Cover Volition\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />I was 21-23 when these songs were written.

This is something I have largely built in my work in self therapy. I believe I am more capable of creativity and honest expression than I was in years past. I feel very proud of this. These songs represent a variety of perspectives I have had in the past 3 years since my previous release. This album was recorded over the course of two months in Beijing, China in the spring of 2013. Mixing occured in China, Alaska, and Kansas City, Missouri. It is my sincere hope you will come to identify with these songs and give them your own meaning.

one of the most recent and perhaps one of the last films made by Hollywood that features a strong male leader helping young men with the lessons of manhood. It is one of my favorite films.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-160\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/g007k6BkEvbWjGMb8UYTOG85Ium-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Bridges White Squall\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />The basic plot is that the brigantine Albatross, helmed by Dr. Christopher Sheldon (Jeff Bridges), referred to as the \"skipper\", serves as a boys school. Through working the vessel as a crew, the young males learn to work together toward common goals. They learn fraternity, responsibility, Ivy league level academics, and the importance of friendship. The Albatross is sunk in May of 1961, allegedly by a white squall. A white squall is a sudden and violent windstorm.\r\n\r\nThe film features an incredible, Vangelis\' Oceanic-esque, score from Jeff Rona, a protégé of Hans Zimmer. I happen to think this score is his finest. I also happen to think that this film was released at a critical point in Western cinema: the year Independence Day was released. In the interests of brevity and as I happen to think my theory here deserves a much longer treatment, I\'ll say that Independence Day is the hinge point by which Western cinema began to value form over substance. It has been my consistent experience that there has been a steady degradation in the quality and conviction of narrative in Western cinema since Independence Day smashed box office records in 1996. I will leave this topic for another time.\r\n<em>\r\nSpoilers follow</em>:\r\nMy major gripe with the film is the scene in which the skipper hounds and humiliates the shy boy Gil Martin into going up a rigging against his will. Gil urinates himself in front of the rest of his companions. Gil\'s brother died falling from a tree, hence his fear of heights. The skipper fails as a leader because he holds fast to his abusiveness in the face of correction from both his wife and the boys he\'s in charge of. On a deep level this undoes the rest of his lessons. It is a point in the film I am vehemently opposed to. A good leader, not to be confused with a \"tough guy bully\", would counsel Gil privately and hold him in his grieving over his dead brother. Were it not for this scene and its subsequent effects on the storyline, I would cherish this film as dearly as I do films like Good Will Hunting or Dead Poet\'s Society. However, I doubt such a film could ever be made. I will say that the script is executed faithfully.\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-163\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/boys-being-boys-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"WHITE SQUALL\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />\r\nI love White Squall because it captures the sense of adventure many young men have as they are just emerging from boyhood into manhood. The boys are generous with one another and show true virtue in their solidarity. They experiment with girls and women in a way that reminds me that once upon a time most teenage boys didn\'t have terabytes of hardcore pornography exposure in their minds. There is a tenderness and an innocence among them. They are fostered and protected by a valiant (aside from one abhorrent scene) skipper who fulfills the age old maxim of teaching, \"firm but fair\". This man will put his life on the line for his crew in several gripping scenes. I also love White Squall because there is a healing that occurs over the course of the sailing season between Captain Sheldon and his lovely wife Alice. Their childless marriage is tenuous and stiff but as the adventure progresses, the warmth and the attraction between them returns. They remember their friendship and their kinship.\r\n\r\nOn a broader level, the film encapsulates the downfall of the paternal male provider and protector. We are shown the wonders of high culture, economic advantage, and male imagination. Then we are shown, through the white squall, the decimation of these wonders. It is a force beyond the skipper\'s reckoning. It is the price he pays for his arrogance, for his humiliation of Gil Martin. It is his unresolved trauma. It costs him his ship, his wife, his friends, his captainship, and a couple of the boys in his care. He failed to have the humility to admit when the younger generation was right and as a result, lost everything. The boys even try to preserve their captain in the face of government courts and succeed only on a small level. The skipper, however, is ruined. The real court room drama of his life was out on the high seas. He failed when he humiliated Gil and he failed similarly when he booted Dean Preston from the ship for killing a dolphin, putting the boy back into the hands of a flagrantly abusive father. The skipper did not take care of his own and he did not heed their word. He valued a dolphin over a remediable human. He valued his flawed sense of order over the dignity of a young man who recently lost his brother.\r\nOne must always listen to and heed the word of those under his care. That does not mean surrendering judgment to them but a good teacher must always learn the lessons his students teach him. At the pivotal moment when the Albatross can be saved, the skipper gives the wrong order to the young man at the helm of the vessel. Since he has taught the boys that a disobedience of his orders will result in the unleashing of his madness through verbal abuse, the young man follows his order and the mast breaks. The Albatross is lost.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-161\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/White-Squall-film-images-327925d3-e6c8-4b01-b3e8-60095580cdf-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"White-Squall-film\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />The white squall is coming for Western civilization. The captains of industry, culture, and all other institutions must heed the call of young, fraternal philosophers. Dismantle your state. Dismantle your trauma. If you listen, you may save yourself. If you, like Captain Sheldon, hold fast to your arrogance, the price is everything. The economy will be smashed. The sacred bond of Western, egalitarian marriage will be severed forever.

It is one of my favorite films.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-160\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/g007k6BkEvbWjGMb8UYTOG85Ium-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Bridges White Squall\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />The basic plot is that the brigantine Albatross, helmed by Dr. Christopher Sheldon (Jeff Bridges), referred to as the \"skipper\", serves as a boy\'s school. Through working the vessel as a crew, the young males learn to work together toward common goals. They learn fraternity, discipline, Ivy league level academics, and the importance of honesty. The Albatross is sunk in May of 1961, allegedly by a white squall. A white squall is a sudden and violent windstorm.\r\n\r\nThe film features an incredible, Vangelis\' Oceanic-esque, score from Jeff Rona, a protégé of Hans Zimmer. I happen to think this score is his finest. I also happen to think that this film was released at a critical point in Western cinema: the year Independence Day was released. In the interests of brevity and as I happen to think my theory here deserves a much longer treatment, I\'ll say that Independence Day is the hinge point by which Western cinema began to value form over substance. It has been my consistent experience that there has been a steady degradation in the quality and conviction of narrative in Western cinema since Independence Day smashed box office records in 1996. I will leave this topic for another time.\r\n<em>Spoilers follow</em>:\r\nMy major gripe with the film is the scene in which the skipper hounds and humiliates the shy boy Gil Martin into going up a rigging against his will. Gil urinates himself in front of the rest of his companions. Gil\'s brother died falling from a tree, hence his fear of heights. The skipper fails as a leader because he holds fast to his abusiveness in the face of correction from both his wife and the boys he\'s in charge of. On a deep level this undoes the rest of his lessons. It is a point in the film I am vehemently opposed to. A good leader, not to be confused with a \"tough guy bully\", would counsel Gil privately and hold him in his grieving over his dead brother. Were it not for this scene and its subsequent effects on the storyline, I would cherish this film as dearly as I do films like Good Will Hunting or Dead Poet\'s Society. However, I doubt such a film could ever be made. I will say that the script is executed faithfully.\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-163\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/boys-being-boys-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"WHITE SQUALL\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />\r\nI love White Squall because it captures the sense of adventure many young men have as they are just emerging from boyhood into manhood. The boys are generous with one another and show true virtue in their solidarity. They experiment with girls and women in a way that reminds me that once upon a time most teenage boys didn\'t have terabytes of hardcore pornography exposure in their minds. There is a tenderness and an innocence among them. They are fostered and protected by a valiant (aside from one abhorrent scene) skipper who fulfills the age old maxim of teaching, \"firm but fair\". This man will put his life on the line for his crew in several gripping scenes. I also love White Squall because there is a healing that occurs over the course of the sailing season between Captain Sheldon and his lovely wife Alice. Their childless marriage is tenuous and stiff but as the adventure progresses, the warmth and the attraction between them returns. They remember their friendship and their kinship.\r\n\r\nOn a broader level, the film encapsulates the downfall of the paternal male provider and protector. We are shown the wonders of high culture, economic advantage, and male imagination. Then we are shown, through the white squall, the decimation of these wonders. It is a force beyond the skipper\'s reckoning. It is the price he pays for his arrogance, for his humiliation of Gil Martin. It is his unresolved trauma. It costs him his ship, his wife, his friends, his captainship, and a couple of the boys in his care. He failed to have the humility to admit when the younger generation was right and as a result, lost everything. The boys even try to preserve their captain in the face of government courts and succeed only on a small level. The skipper, however, is ruined. The real court room drama of his life was out on the high seas. He failed when he humiliated Gil and he failed similarly when he booted Dean Preston from the ship for killing a dolphin, putting the boy back into the hands of a flagrantly abusive father. The skipper did not take care of his own and he did not heed their word. He valued a dolphin over a remediable human. He valued his flawed sense of order over the dignity of a young man who recently lost his brother.\r\nOne must always listen to and heed the word of those under his care. That does not mean surrendering judgment to them but a good teacher must always learn the lessons his students teach him. At the pivotal moment when the Albatross can be saved, the skipper gives the wrong order to the young man at the helm of the vessel. Since he has taught the boys that a disobeyance of his orders will result in the unleashing of his madness through verbal abuse, the young man follows his order and the mast breaks. The Albatross is lost.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-161\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/White-Squall-film-images-327925d3-e6c8-4b01-b3e8-60095580cdf-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"White-Squall-film\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" />The white squall is coming for Western civilization.

It is a force beyond the skipper\'s reckoning. It is the price he pays for his arrogance, for his humiliation of Gil Martin. It is his unresolved trauma. It costs him his ship, his wife, his friends, his captainship, and a couple of the boys in his care. He failed to have the humility to admit when the younger generation was right and as a result, lost everything. The boys even try to preserve their captain in the face of government courts and succeed only on a small level. The skipper, however, is ruined.

He failed when he humiliated Gil and he failed similarly when he booted Dean Preston from the ship for killing a dolphin, putting the boy back into the hands of a flagrantly abusive father.

In the interests of brevity and as I happen to think my theory here deserves a much longer treatment, I\'ll say that Independence Day is the hinge point by which Western cinema began to value form over substance.

The skipper fails as a leader because he holds fast to his abusiveness in the face of correction from both his wife and the boys he\'s in charge of.

It would have been a very comfortable and satisfying life for me in some regards. I would have helped a lot of people by working within the mental health industry and would have made decent coin doing it. The downside, as I saw it and still see it, is that I would be pinning my livelihood on a government license. There was an element of political correctness in the path I was choosing for myself.</p>\r\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Within a few short days of research and learning, I began to see more clearly this incredible man who survived and flourished by his wits. I learned he placed vital importance in his personal life for time for reflection two or three hours of every day. I saw his unflinching competence in the face of inferior competition. I saw the way he hit back harder when he was hit. Most importantly, I saw him speak from the heart and embody a lot of self-leadership. This reminded me that for all the perks and satisfaction a life as a licensed psychotherapist would bring me, there would be the no-go zone of having to be wary of criticizing the hand that conferred the license upon me and held a portion of my future earnings. I wouldn’t be fully out on the open range. I began to ask myself, “Would that be ‘mentally healthy’ for me? Would I be able to be fully honest with myself?” The answer I heard back was, “No, go survive by your wits. Go out into the open range. You’re ready now.”</p>\r\n<p class=\"graf--p\">I gritted my teeth through the last months and weeks of the university program for counseling I was in. I did this while living in NW Portland. I began to feel more and more aware that this area of the city I chose under the auspices of continuing as a licensed counselor felt like a Bernie Sanders rally every time I stepped outside. I officially left the program in the middle of December 2015.</p>\r\nTwo major events happened the week I would have been starting courses for Spring Semester 2016. The first is that the Bundy &amp; Company occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge began. The second was that a deceased aunt left me money that paid off my student loans entirely. I remembered thinking, “Whoa, things are getting really real,” and also, “This is what I signed up for!” I had just made this difficult decision to come out of a cloistered profession. I had made a decision to stand on my own two feet and survive by my wits. Immediately my debt was gone and there was an armed resistance to government tyranny going on in my home state, in the part of the country I grew up in as a boy. It was in this environment that I began to remember, “Hey, dismantling bad ideas and behavior is really rewarding!” I felt myself wanting to give MORE and do MORE for others. I got back in touch with what was so fun about philosophy and deconstructing bad ideas in my early 20’s. While going deep into childhood trauma and concepts of self-knowledge and psychology had been so profoundly rewarding and enriching, it lacked the “devil may care” vitality that philosophy gave me. With no government license to tip-toe around, I could have both!\r\n\r\nI have felt a buoyancy come back into my personality. I know now I can’t dismantle bad ideas and behavior as a rebellion against my parents like I used to. I needed to go through a time where I wasn’t as into philosophy and public discourse so that I get could clarity on some deeply personal issues that required my full attention. I went into a wilderness. Like Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in The Revenant, I had to learn how to walk and talk from scratch as though I were an infant. This time allowed me to become the therapist I am. It helped me mature greatly. As a result, I have a lot more personal abundance of energy and enthusiasm. I stepped out of the wilderness and into a valley of uncertainty, only 4–5 months ago. A short walk into the valley of uncertainty and a ball and chain were removed from my leg, my student debt.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_177\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-177\" src=\"http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ammon-bundy-007e44e31e042e0a-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Ammon Bundy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /> Ammon Bundy[/caption]\r\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Then I saw some good men up on a ridge, taking a stand, and getting all kinds of awful vitriol spewed at them and dildos mailed to them. I felt my powerful anger surge up. “Hey, I don’t have to curb this anger because now I’m surviving by my wits, not by a protected status in a cloistered profession.” I’ve been letting my anger rip ever since and out of the valley of uncertainty I have gone.</p>\r\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Where do I stand now? My hope is that I stand with truth. I know what a therapist does and the boundaries that come with that role. I know what a philosopher does and the boundaries that come with that role. I am both yet I know the difference between them. I love the truth and I know two of the primary ways I will communicate it for the rest of my life. I feel a unity. Donald Trump and Ammon Bundy came into my life at a very important time. Major credit is also due to Stefan Molyneux, his employees, and his brave race &amp; IQ presentations. Very timely. These men reminded me of the lion I am. The ferocious alpha who will end the fight and bring order to chaos. To take the animal metaphor a step further, Daniel Mackler, Fred Timm, and Alice Miller showed me the emperor penguin I could be: the father figure who stands through the coldest desolation to bring warmth to the faintest of life forces. School is out and I am both the lion and the emperor penguin. I am not without my trauma but I more contained and boundaried than ever. I am more prepared to be a force for truth and virtue in the world. I’m turning 30 soon. It’s time to dance.\r\nThese are the lessons I’m learning and I present them to you because I hope you will learn, too.</p>','Two Feet On The Ground','','publish','closed','closed','','two-feet-on-the-ground','','','2016-04-09 22:35:04','2016-04-09 22:35:04','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=175',0,'post','',0),(176,1,'2016-04-09 22:30:15','2016-04-09 22:30:15','','brooklyn garden','','inherit','closed','closed','','brooklyn-garden','','','2016-04-09 22:30:15','2016-04-09 22:30:15','',175,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/brooklyn-garden.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(177,1,'2016-04-09 22:31:03','2016-04-09 22:31:03','','ammon-bundy-007e44e31e042e0a','Ammon Bundy','inherit','closed','closed','','ammon-bundy-007e44e31e042e0a','','','2016-04-09 22:31:09','2016-04-09 22:31:09','',175,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ammon-bundy-007e44e31e042e0a.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(181,1,'2016-04-09 22:33:48','2016-04-09 22:33:48','The presidential candidacy of Donald Trump has had a profound impact on my life for a number of reasons, some of which I will go into here.\r\nWhat first drew me to his candidacy was this moment at the Fox News debate on August 6th, 2015:\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/s9lcr-wsYOk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The response, “Only Rosie O’Donnell” sent shock waves through me.

These mini essays will be limited to what I feel more processed on and open to sharing. I want to open up about my experience as a person and not speak solely as a therapist here but all of this applies in one way or another to my work as a therapist.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Will to Get Better</strong>\r\n\r\nIn the past year I have found myself more and more often in awe of the will to get better on the part of people I meet. As I have embraced a life as a grieving adult, I have come to see ever more clearly when someone is sincere in their efforts to grow into a better person. I feel a special kinship with people who want to get honest and get real about what has happened for them and what they want for themselves- regardless of their level of progress along their path.\r\n\r\nIn this similar train of thought, I also find myself less and less seduced by quick fixes, gurus who preach dissociative doctrines and techniques, and less seduced by the promise of rescue that exists out in the world. My parents failed to rescue me from their trauma and abuse, how could anyone else?\r\n\r\n<strong>The Real Fight</strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-384 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.nurturingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/pic-for-essay-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"pic for essay\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" />I\'ve learned that I don\'t want to mess around with people looking to start fights and people who want to tell me how to live my life. I simply don\'t have time or emotional energy for people to come into my personal life with psychological theories about me, with unsolicited criticism, and with challenges to give up sides of me that I\'m holding in my own care. If I engage, it always and inevitably leads to a loss of personal power. I value my personal power more than ever before.\r\n\r\nThe real fight is within me, with my inner parents. With the parts of me that resist change, growth, and grieving. With the parts of me that try to trip me up on my chosen path.\r\n\r\nI have largely given up on trying to change people and the result is that people have largely given up on trying to change me. The funny thing is that I\'ve changed more in the past year than any other year as adult! I feel more in control of my learning and growing process than ever before.\r\n\r\n<strong>Success On My Terms</strong>\r\n\r\nI\'ve seen that there\'s a massive cult of success present in the world. The struggle to attain wealth, power, prestige, and social approval is very real for people. I see it largely as a struggle to finally win mother and father\'s love and approval. I imagine that the feelings that rise up from being rich, powerful, prestigious, and popular are similar to the feelings of being deeply held, mirrored, and loved by mother and father. Similar but only in the same way that dissociation mimics enlightenment. I think I will never be truly fulfilled if I pursue success by any conventional measure.\r\n\r\nI am redefining for myself what it means to be successful. Success, to me, is when I have fully resolved my traumas and can see my own wounded inner child(ren) raised to adulthood. I think I could be rich, powerful, prestigious, and popular if I wanted to but those all seem like second prize compared to my life\'s goal. I don\'t feel any particular enmity toward people who pursue those things. After all, it\'s what you do with them that matters.\r\n\r\nFulfillment, for me, comes each time I grieve or grow.

I reassured myself that I was one of the most honest people alive because I could figure out other people\'s dysfunctions. I was on the mountaintop. Now I see that I developed some incredible tools for charting a new path. I see that I\'ve only processed a small pond\'s worth of the great lake of pain and trauma I carry within me. Now I see that I still hardly know myself. My curiosity has told me to come down from the mountaintop and ply my tools in the world. My humility has told me that no one got anywhere by beating his chest over and over yelling, \"I\'m important! I know things!\" There\'s real work to be done and quite frankly, I\'m still learning how to use these tools! Other people have a wealth of knowledge and life experience that I don\'t have and if I allow myself to see their value by having good boundaries with them and showing them I\'m curious, they usually share with me! Then I get to learn how those others are using their tools and living their lives. I can learn what not to do, as well.\r\nI will say that I take pride in what I have accomplished. Pride and humility can be great friends. They are not diametrically opposed. Pride reminds me of my achievements, humility reminds me of my potential.\r\n\r\n<strong>Seeking Out People Further Along</strong>\r\n\r\nI think this fits in with humility. I’ve learned just how important it is to seek out people who are further along than me in any particular respect. I’ve found people further along in self-knowledge, in being effective therapists, in diet and exercise, in getting good sleep, in reading books and retaining knowledge, in being a good friend, in being self-honest, in running a business, in drumming, in songwriting, in video production, so on and so forth! I’ve learned from them. They have a lot to offer me. I’m not a guru. Neither are they. We’re people learning from each other. I’m reminded of all the growth I have yet to do when I seek someone out who’s got something more pieced together than I do. I bring this perspective to my sessions as a therapist, though I’m very clear that my growth is not the focus of the work.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mistakes</strong>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_412\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-412 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.nurturingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/DSC_0609-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0609\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /> My feet said these were a mistake![/caption]\r\n\r\nOne of the most formative experiences I had as a young adult was to interview the owner and operator of a successful coffee shop and coffee roasting chain in Wellington, New Zealand. I asked him what problems he\'d faced in building the business. He said, \"I don\'t see things as \'problems\'. I see them as \'challenges\'.\" This resulted in a huge worldview shift for me.\r\n\r\nI have become, particularly in the two years, a lot more accepting of mistakes. I\'d even say I\'m a bit tolerant of them IF they\'re explored after the fact. Mistakes have offered me incredible chances at growing as a person. Also, if someone makes a mistake with me (by crossing my boundaries) I am generally tolerant to the degree to which I experience that person as a self-reflective and dedicated to growth. Life is dirty, it\'s not surgical and perfect. It was good for me to have my ivory tower before a year ago but now I\'m allowing more mistakes into my life. I\'m engaged in living life, rather than pulled back from it and analyzing it constantly. The tools I mentioned earlier are holding strong, so I have little to fear from the kinds of mistakes I\'m going to make in the future. And hell, if I make a big mess out of my life- I\'ll learn a lot from cleaning and tidying it up again! Mistakes yield challenges.\r\n\r\n<strong>Apologies and Making Amends</strong>\r\n\r\nI\'ve learned that it restores to me a lot of self-respect and love when I can process through the way in which I wronged someone: connect with the childhood pain that caused me to wrong that someone later in my life, grieve, reintegrate the wounded side of me so I won\'t repeat the mistake/transgression again, and then, if it\'s safe, offer an honest apology to the person I wronged.\r\n\r\nSometimes there is tenderness in return. Sometimes suspicion and psychologizing. Sometimes there\'s nary a peep. Sometimes there\'s gruffness. Sometimes a dismissal. Sometimes reproach and revenge. Sometimes the other person offers their own mistakes and an apology in return. Through trial and error, I\'ve learned when it can be safe to offer an apology to another person and when it isn\'t. This has also led to some insights on building intimacy, sharing, and over-sharing that I\'ll leave for another time.\r\n\r\nWhen my motivations for the apology are to offer healing to all parties concerned, to offer some kind of restitution, and, if it\'s safe, to offer the other person a forum to express how they were affected by my transgression(s), I have found that whether connection occurs or not I still come out loving myself more.\r\n\r\nVery basically: the way to make amends is to learn and grow.\r\n\r\n<em>This concludes Lessons From One Year as a Therapist.

I reassured myself that I was one of the most honest people alive because I could figure out other people\'s dysfunctions. I was on the mountaintop. Now I see that I developed some incredible tools for charting a new path. I see that I\'ve only processed a small pond\'s worth of the great lake of pain and trauma I carry within me. Now I see that I still hardly know myself. My curiosity has told me to come down from the mountaintop and ply my tools in the world. My humility has told me that no one got anywhere by beating his chest over and over yelling, \"I\'m important! I know things!\" There\'s real work to be done and quite frankly, I\'m still learning how to use these tools! Other people have a wealth of knowledge and life experience that I don\'t have and if I allow myself to see their value by having good boundaries with them and showing them I\'m curious, they usually share with me! Then I get to learn how those others are using their tools and living their lives. I can learn what not to do, as well.\r\nI will say that I take pride in what I have accomplished. Pride and humility can be great friends. They are not diametrically opposed. Pride reminds me of my achievements, humility reminds me of my potential.\r\n\r\n<strong>Seeking Out People Further Along</strong>\r\n\r\nI think this fits in with humility. I’ve learned just how important it is to seek out people who are further along than me in any particular respect. I’ve found people further along in self-knowledge, in being effective therapists, in diet and exercise, in getting good sleep, in reading books and retaining knowledge, in being a good friend, in being self-honest, in running a business, in drumming, in songwriting, in video production, so on and so forth! I’ve learned from them. They have a lot to offer me. I’m not a guru. Neither are they. We’re people learning from each other. I’m reminded of all the growth I have yet to do when I seek someone out who’s got something more pieced together than I do. I bring this perspective to my sessions as a therapist, though I’m very clear that my growth is not the focus of the work.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mistakes</strong>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_412\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<img class=\"wp-image-412 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.nurturingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/DSC_0609-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0609\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /> My feet said these were a mistake![/caption]\r\n\r\nOne of the most formative experiences I had as a young adult was to interview the owner and operator of a successful coffee shop and coffee roasting chain in Wellington, New Zealand. I asked him what problems he\'d faced in building the business. He said, \"I don\'t see things as \'problems\'. I see them as \'challenges\'.\" This resulted in a huge worldview shift for me.\r\n\r\nI have become, particularly in the two years, a lot more accepting of mistakes. I\'d even say I\'m a bit tolerant of them IF they\'re explored after the fact. Mistakes have offered me incredible chances at growing as a person. Also, if someone makes a mistake with me (by crossing my boundaries) I am generally tolerant to the degree to which I experience that person as a self-reflective and dedicated to growth. Life is dirty, it\'s not surgical and perfect. It was good for me to have my ivory tower before a year ago but now I\'m allowing more mistakes into my life. I\'m engaged in living life, rather than pulled back from it and analyzing it constantly.

I think it offers potential clients more of an understanding of my point of view on the therapy process.\r\n\r\nMerriam Webster defines \"psychotherapy\" as \"treatment of mental or emotional disorder or of related bodily ills by psychological means\". My first reaction to reading the definition is to switch a few words out. I would go with something like:\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Treatment of psychological trauma and the nurturing of a person\'s gifts through a professional relationship between therapist and client</em></strong>\r\n\r\nI place a lot of emphasis on building the therapy relationship because modern studies are showing time and time again that the strength and nature of the relationship between therapist and client has much more to do with successful therapy outcomes than therapy techniques. My own life experience has mirrored these findings.\r\nI have nurtured a wonderful relationship with myself through my years of self-therapy and work with professional therapists who have helped along the way. I\'ve come to love myself dearly. I have very enjoyable and meaningful relationships with the people who are near and dear to me. I have developed an ability to connect with and bond with allies who may not necessarily share all of my conclusions but, thanks to good boundaries, I have and can keep areas of healthy common ground with. I\'ve been intensely involved in this personal work for 14+ years (from ages 15 to 29 and beyond!). What I offer is: a therapeutic relationship. I have developed an ability to form strong trusting, lasting, and loving bonds with others. A person can hire me to learn how to form a healthy bond with themselves, potential friends, and potential allies. They learn this through our relationship. I will add with a good dose of humility here that I learn from every person I work with but my learning is not the purpose of the work.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.nurturingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/DSC_2772.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-448 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.nurturingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/DSC_2772-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_2772\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>Yes, I have \"therapy skills\" such as accurate empathy, reflective listening, and unconditional positive regard. I\'ve studied at length many counseling modalities and philosophies. I\'ve found some of it to be very useful. But since I look to the therapy relationship itself as the key indicator for successful therapy outcomes, a person\'s life experiences and the degree to which they have an authentic, true self has much more to do with whether they\'re a good psychological helper to others. These are the intuitive questions I ask myself about any potential psychological helper and I thought I\'d pass them along to you:\r\n<em>-Does this person love humanity, animals, the natural world, and the truth?</em>\r\n-Is this person kind and loving toward children?\r\n<em>-Does this person have a solid grasp of a methodology for determining truth from falsehood?</em>\r\n-Is this person intensely involved in their own growing and healing path?\r\n<em>-Does this person live in reaction and suspicion to others, or are they proactive about their own values, goals, and gifts, willing to share them when there\'s an abundance?</em>\r\n-Has this person gone out and lived some hard-won experiences or have they remained locked away, studying life from afar?\r\n<em>-Does this person have healthy, honest relationships in their life?</em>\r\n-Is this person vibrant in their emotions of sadness, anger, disgust, joy, etc. or do they emote robotically and stiffly?\r\n<em>-Does this person side with the wounded child or with the corrupt parent?</em>\r\n-Can this person delight in his or her own company?\r\n\r\nThere are so many more questions that come to mind but I\'ll limit them here for the sake of the essay.\r\n\r\nAnother point of view I\'d like to bring in is that whenever I\'ve worked with a therapist as a client I\'ve seen it as my job to do my own growing and grieving between sessions. I\'ve found it arrogant on the part of therapists who have had the basic stance of, \"The clients come to me, I apply the healing, and they leave changed because I\'ve applied my techniques. I\'m amazing. Me.\" This sort of \"therapy\" builds up a dependence on the therapist on the part of the client and tricks people into thinking they don\'t have to learn life\'s lessons in the in-between. After all they\'ve got a guru, a philosopher, a shaman, a PARENT to be rescued by! Good therapy is when, through the structure and nurturing inherent in the healthy therapy relationship, the client learns for herself how to love herself and others deeply and honestly. If a therapist only has tricks to pierce and lull the defenses of the client and cannot love the client, he or she is in the field to drain energy from others in a narcissistic and destructive manner. This kind of therapist re-traumatizes the wounded inner child of the client. The good therapist holds the wounded child of the client in his or her care. This holding process is private, loving, and sacred.\r\nPersonally, I do not feel comfortable publicly mentioning details from session work with my clients- even with heavy anonymization. I do not post or ask for testimonials. At this point I work through an \"attraction\" rather than \"promotion\" stance. I\'m not interested in competing with others as much as I am interested in healing all my childhood wounds and helping other to do the same along the way. I do not think a client can fully trust me if they figure that at some point they\'ll read or hear of some detail of our work together in a book I\'ve written or a podcast I\'ve done. I only talk about the therapy work I do in a general sense.\r\n\r\nAs a therapist I offer my True Self. I work from the heart. I offer listening, support, and encouragement that becomes more and more deeply attuned to your personality, your True Self, and your childhood wounds as we develop a bond. I offer my gifts in return for the session fee. If you see gifts in me and in the work I do, I will gladly share them with you in a professional relationship. Some of my gifts I keep in the \"workshop\" that is my private life. I can help you to build your own healing workshop, a place where your True Self works every day to help you heal and manifest all of your gifts.','What Is Therapy?','','publish','closed','closed','','what-is-therapy','','','2016-04-22 00:06:18','2016-04-22 00:06:18','',0,'http://www.stevenfranssen.com/?p=216',0,'post','',0),(217,1,'2016-04-22 00:06:18','2016-04-22 00:06:18','<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-445 size-large\" src=\"http://www.nurturingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/what-is-therapy-644x93.jpg\" alt=\"what is therapy\" width=\"644\" height=\"93\" />I thought it would be useful for any clients or potential clients of mine or anyone who is interested in my work if I were to write a short essay about the process of therapy as I understand it.
