Yeah! But especially the Board, which is the ultimate corporate authority of WMF.

I am a longtime Wikimedia volunteer, activist, organizer and founder and leader of independent Wikimedia organizations. As of that, I am (mostly was) in quite a close contact with highly positioned people from the Wikimedia Foundation, including the Trusties liasoning for the Affiliations Committee (that deals with independent Wikimedia organizations).

I see it first hand that Wikimedia Foundation has some structural problems. They have problems to ensure that they themselves follow their own rules… The Board of Trusties, or at least the Chair knows that for years. Yet, they consistently fail to correct it. Wikimedia Foundation took full responsibility for (at least) one its independent organisation but (to my best knowledge) totally failed to do any corrective action for its misbehavior for 6 years and counting. Some of those corrective actions could be done in 1 day by an individual or in 30-60 days by a committee (which are notoriously slow).

So, yeah. Wikimedia Foundation has its problems and the problems are putting very unnecessary restrains that conteract Wikimedia mission itself. WMF is a great organization with briliant mission and, IMO, it is worth saving. For fixing WMF are needed such reports (to the extend they are true) and corrective actions by the Board of Trusties of Wikimedia Foundation.

Slovakia here. It’s pretty liberating, TBH. Even despite trying to stay healthy and vital, one will eventually get sick or injured and will need help. It is nice that it is already paid (by taxes) and we can just get the needed care without fear of of ruining ourselves financially. Also meds are pretty cheap or free for patients.

The system is set out in the way that it is better for state that patients be healthy, because patients’ sickness is state’s expense. So state tries to limit its spending while still providing reasonable care. Although, it is hard with the population getting generally older (more serious, and so expensive, illnesses) while we still have only very limited medicine to reverse aging.

I am wondering how the universal health care system affects humans proactivity for preserving their health. But from what I have heard, it is unfortunately low in both cases 😕

Time for united European army. With better coordination, Europe can have stronger army even with the same funding.

Personal development. Things like understanding ones own emotions and how to work with them, treating traumas, finding life purpose and how achieve / work towards it, transformation into more complex, developed consciousness (based on developmental psychology). Even spiritual development and enlightenment. I myself would need to learn a lot in order to be able to teach it greatly, but IMO this is a stuff that is really, really needed in society but hardly taught at all…

Sure nothing wrong can result from that. /s

Accepting self.

Yeah, that’s understandable! The society teaches us from early age that there is a distinction between “diseases” and “aging”. So this distinction continues in our minds and we hardly ever question it. We learn it by imitation without deep understanding. In most cases it works well and serves as a usable and attention-saving shortcut. And it also may be responsible for prolonging old concepts that need a review.

Would you say that there is no need for better research for curing cancer just because new treatments will be super expensive, so only uber-rich zilionairs will benefit?

Probably not. (I hope)

Aging-caused diseases are really just some other type of health problems that leads to death. And curing such things is what medicine is doing. Heart bypass is a great example of helping to survive such problem.

And yes, new tech is usually expensive. And with adoption it became not only cheaper but better. Compare first mobile phones that was super expensive and could do nearly nothing to todays cheap smartphone that is more powerful than the computer that helped us to land on the Moon. If you care about health of poor and middle class people, you could rather help to accelerate the adoption, so more people can afford aging-reversal medicine sooner and not suffer from aging.

Longevity / rejuvenation / aging-reversal researchers and funding.

We can already reverse aging in lab and could it bring to humans in wild. But for that we need resources.

Integral thinking. Currently only cca 2% of population and desperately needed in even more complex world!
