| caveat emptor!
| university faculties, and the donors who control them, are not your friends!
| students, listen up!
| in other words, legacy "educational" institutions have become propoganda ministries controlled by donors, and faculties, pursuing agendas that have nothing to do with empowering students by developing their intellectual abilities
| conventional institutions of education have become anything but, as faculties in those so-called universities have been transformed in their mission from teaching students <u>how</u> to think to teaching them <u>what</u> to think
| Wo'O IdeaFarm's objective in seeking students is to profess the ideas that young people need to hear but are not being told
|
| more recently, about twenty years ago, he realized that if the human brain is a "wet computer" pattern recognizer, rather than a rational self interest calculator, then that might be how Mother Nature solved the game theoretic "free rider" problem to make human coalitions effective in evolutionary competition
| from his time in residence at the University of Chicago to the present, his research interests have focused on the nature and evolution of gender and of gender roles, as well as the nature and evolution of morality, and the connection of both gender and morality to an understanding of how human coalitions can form and avoid the "free rider problem"
|
| in his dissertation, he also introduced the methodological idea, "what <u>might be</u> true is sometimes more important than what <u>is</u> true", to argue that scientific theory must be logical as well as consistent with observed facts
| this dissertation attacked conventional Monetarist analysis by applying a generalization of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to argue that Monetarist analysis is illogical
|
| his Ph.D. dissertation, "Price Determination in an Overlapping Generations Example Economy with Producible and Nonproducible Capital", was in the field of mathematical economics
| he was also nominated by the Department of Economics for the university-wide Danforth fellowship
| his studies at the University of Chicago were funded by a full Hillman Scholarship, augmented by a Sloan Fellowship grant administered by Sloan Fellow and Nobel laureate Gary Becker, famous for his work on the economic analysis of marriage, family, and race
| while in residence at the University of Chicago in the Department of Economics, he was certified as an expert in the fields of Money and Banking (Ph.D), Finance (Ph.D.), and International Economic Relations (A.M.)

| Wo'O IdeaFarm (legal name Wo Of Ideafarm in U.S. jurisdiction) is a 70 year old economist (Ph.D. Lite, University of Chicago, A.M., University of Chicago, B.A. magna cum laude, UCLA)

| the list for [matrix], in alphabetical order:
|
| \m\n\r<hr>
|
| \m\n\r\j</ol>
| \m\n\r\j<li>The [matrix] system does not insert ads. When a member posts spam, it's up to the room's administrator to promptly remove it and ban the member.
| \m\n\r\j<li>[matrix] room administrators can ban users and hide posts. Any room member can hide all posts of another member.
| \m\n\r\j<li>[matrix] rooms and room content persist indefinitely.
| \m\n\r\j<li>Replies identify the poster and optionally the post.
| \m\n\r\j<li>For each post, the poster is identified. Replies and also private direct messages are supported.
| \m\n\r\j<li>[matrix] room content is presented chronologically.
| \m\n\r\j<li>[matrix] room content is generally primarily text, although posts can include images or video.
| \m\n\r\j<ol>
| [matrix] excels because its rooms can, depending on the room's administrator, satisfy the above criteria as follows:
|
| this means that the quality of the room as a forum for free speech depends entirely on the person who created and is administering the room
| since control of each room is decentralized, and even the network is decentralized, there is no entity behind the room's administrator dictating how he or she must control speech within the room
| it consists of "rooms" that any user can create and then administer
| [matrix] is a decentralized real time chat network that you can access for free
| [matrix] is the best place to meet with others for intelligent, purposeful conversations
|
| \m\n\r\j</ol>
| \m\n\r\j<li>In particular, there is no spam, including paid advertisements. (Exception: A chat room that expressly invites particular kinds of "on topic" ads.)
| \m\n\r\j<li>Order is somehow maintained (e.g. by moderation or incentives such as punishment) to minimize bad behavior.
| \m\n\r\j<li>Posts are retained for at least a month (so that a complete record of a particular conversation exists throughout its life).
| \m\n\r\j<li>Replies can identify either the poster or the post being replied to.
| \m\n\r\j<li>For each post, the poster is identified in some way (so that you can get to know each poster by his or her posts).
| \m\n\r\j<li>Posts for each topic are presented chronologically.
| \m\n\r\j<li>The content is primarily text. (When people have face to face conversations, the interaction is verbal, not multimedia.)
| \m\n\r\j<ol>
| [matrix] rooms listed on this page are thought to satisfy the following criteria:
|
| \r(Click "We..." at left for more detail.)
| we selected the following rooms as good places to have intelligent conversations
|
| if you think that chat rooms on systems other than [matrix] should be listed on this page, please let us know and we will consider linking to them on this page
| to suggest a room for this list, whether it is on [matrix] or somewhere else, post a link to the "Wo'O's Table room listed below
| the following list will help you find rooms that appear to be good places for such conversations
|
| \r(Without mentioning any names, yes, we are speaking from experience.)
| some of the free providers do not provide adequate user support and/or use servers that do not always work correctly
| the matrix.org "home server" is heavily loaded and can be slow to respond
| we recommend using a paid subscription provider such as communick.com because you'll get better support and a more perfect (less troublesome) user experience
|
| the end result will be that you will have a free account with matrix.org and you will be able to immediately join and enter the "room" that you selected when you clicked a link on this page
| to do that, click on a link and, when prompted, select the Element client and follow the instructions for installing it
| wo alternative is to use matrix.org as provider and use the Element client
| in the alternative, you can just click on any of the links at the bottom of this page to make your own selection of provider and client
|
| \m\n\r\j</ol>
| \m\n\r\j<li>With your Element client open, click the "Wo'O's Table" link at the bottom of this page to enter our room and introduce yourself.
| \m\n\r\j<li>Follow their instructions for installing the Element client app for MS Windows (or wo of the other flavors that they offer).
| \m\n\r\j<li>Purchase "Communick Full Access (single account)" for $29 USD / year after 14 day trial by clicking here: ========>>>> <a href="https://communick.com/services/matrix/" target="_blank">[ [matrix] on communick.com ]</a> <<<<========
