My above rant is not about this following tip of the iceberg, more about the vast amount of highly unhappy people in rich countries (most of who are rather self-harming, and passive aggressive, but they then also spoil the experience for their environment), and who are proving (besides the ecological mess, gross inequality, and perpetual war) that our economic system is poison.

This post here is about the extreme cases of unhappiness. I give this short addendum, because by chance I came across a data-driven examination of the worst case scenario, when ~3% of users got eventually even banned for their utterances:

    Antisocial Behavior in Online Discussion Communities
    Justin Cheng, Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, Jure Leskovec (Stanford University, Cornell University)

Three aspects when browsing through it:

• They establish a high predictive power (with their automatic language analysis system) who might be later get banned:
  "With these features in mind, we consider a prediction task where we observe a user’s first ten posts [...] we can accurately predict whether a user will be subsequently banned with a mean AUC of 0.82 (mean accuracy=0.74, mean F1=0.71)". (Page 8 )
  Impressive.
  
  
• "... posts written by FBUs are less readable [...], and differ in affective content such as swearing ..." (page 8 )
  
  
• Troll (FBU) posts usually get a much higher reply rate than non-troll (NBU) posts (page 5).

Ignoring affective content might be the best move to protect ourselves. We guessed it intuitively, now science is starting to prove it.

--> "Don't feed the troll.".

Good things can so easily be harmed by bad mood. Seen that too many times.

Posting this here, because I sense an analogy between bitcointalk trolls,
and un-therapized slave job patients on a TUI plane ...

Package tourism

It was my 1st package tourism (Pauschal-Reise) in > 20 years.
(Since back then once, I had always been a self-responsible traveler; a stonier, and harder path,
but more rewarding. And it educates you, and allows your consciousness to grow and expand).


Man, I was shocked:  So many package tourists can be terrible whiners. Poor them.
Every little obstacle, misunderstanding, disappointment ... is reason to go berzerk.

And later, checking online comments about our cozy hotel, I was appalled;
there is a large group who wrote such a bullshit about that beautiful place;
that was simply untrue, FUD, lies, and negativity. They are confusing their own
illness tainted view on the world with the objects they think they are describing.


Being able to always see the worst aspects of the world around them, and their
fellow patients. And it's only them who keep themselves unhappy, while they point
to the outside world to be the reason for their uncontrolled emotions. Powerlessness.

They are seemingly really unable to escape from their mental cage. And unwilling?

The word I need is: Ugly.
Mankind is   Rich countries are really in a pitiful state. -->

Sarcastic joke 1
"Successful Capitalism is a ..."
EDIT: deleted, those suffering from this affliction do not deserve to be compared to economics.
;-)

Sarcastic joke 2

The customs could consider to refuse entry into a beautiful holiday country
for those who are professional FUDers everywhere, and stamp their passports:

"
Sorry, but you must first go to a hotel in your own country for 1, 2, or 3 days
(depending on the severity of their affliction), to let go of your accumulated hatred ...
... before you only focus on spoiling your own, and everyone else's experience.
Entry refused, for x days. Please come back, we love to meet you again - relaxed.
"
 

*g*


Plenty of Positivity in Place

But still, myself I had an unforgettable holiday week. The longest time away from
the keyboard in ages, and I immediately clicked, and turned social, it was beautiful.
I was also able to find, and meet the minority; some people have come far, and
are amazing encounters. They are good teachers, discussion partners, joy givers, and
sources of wisdom, beauty, freedom, and creativity.  We are just so damn few.


What now?
How could more people liberate themselves from their personal hell?  I am puzzled,
more than ever. Should psychotherapy become obligatory in high school perhaps?

And what now ... does all that tell us about posting on internet forums?

New social networks

BLOCK EXPLORER for Ethereum clones
After BTC, then LTC, later NXT and cryptonotes ... now an ETH cloning wave might hit the scene.

Here is a simple -but well working- BLOCK EXPLORER,

that I learned to understand -inside out-, then extended with essential functions -

and that I can port to your Ethereum clone:



As I can act fast, it is especially valuable for the first days of a new clone.
Later then, you can get e.g. a second B.E., or build your own one from scratch.

(Idea for how to get money together).
