I don't know what "chaos for social good" is supposed to be, but I am intrigued. Would you care to expand on that?

I'm producing tools for the following: • converting gendered restrooms to all-gender restrooms (with or without permission) • easy legislative templates and meetups for removing billboards from your municipality • low-powered and repairable permacomputing hardware designs • tools for improving home ventilation • software for retrofitting walkable infrastructure into existing towns and cities

  > converting gendered restrooms to all-gender restrooms (with or without permission) I believe, for a long list of reasons, that families with stably married mother/father are the best way to preserve humanity and that they are most stable without wandering eyes. Avoiding having wandering eyes, or wandering loyalties, in turn, is helped when we make it easier for people to manage and direct sexual attraction to keep it within marriage, rather than otherwise. This includes avoiding porn or behaviors that are like porn to others. I want to keep my thoughts clean and faithful to my wife. I hope others can make that easier and less work, rather than often putting things in my sight that make it be more work.

    Fine. I do not share your views and I will not cater to them.

      I tried to explain a bit more in a related comment, FWIW.

    Going to the bathroom is like porn to you? Not to kinkshame, but that seems like your problem, not anyone else's.

      I bet I can think of a less erotic environment than a public restroom, such as... ...I'm going to have to get back to you.

    I feel that broad overgeneralizations like this are often just self-revelation. This reads like you find people besides your wife attractive, but rather than recognizing this as normal and healthy, you vilify and repress it. But you see (part of) the responsibility for avoiding your thoughts with others, and expect of them to act according to your needs and wants. The thought of people of the other gender using a toilet near you is sexual to you and you don't like that, but this is a you problem. Also, I don't know whether your "stably married mother/father" is just heteronormative or deliberately excluding same-sex couples, but if it's the latter, your "belief" is demonstrably wrong.

      Thanks for the considerate reply. I have learned for myself that God exists, that he cares, this life is not the beginning or the end, that our choices matter, and that the commandments he gives us (like the 10 commandments, as an example) are to help us get through this life and prepare to receive the blessings he has promised based on our choices. I have written more of why I know this, at my web site (in profile). All the best to you.

  Love it. I'm making a modular sensor "power tool" and (among other citizen scientist/journalist things) want to make it easy to log home air quality (long battery life, magnetic mount, API) to experiment with strategies. Trying to practice more sustainable device design with it. Also generally into provocations. Would be down to talk about intersections.

  Unrelated, I just looked at your profile and realized you were the author of that "Man Spends Entire Career Mastering Crappy Codebase" article. You're basically a minor folk hero at my work.

Something I guess kind of fits with this is doing seed-bombs, we used to do that a bit when I was young. You basically forcefully plant colorful flowers in places that are not so colorful. Coolest thing we managed to get the flowers growing at was a roof where you could just barely see flowers on the top corner of the building.

  I remember those! Maybe I'll start throwing some around in a few months when the time is ripe.
