According to the community guidelines:
Where it says, " You shouldn’t" :
1 Make personal attacks on other community members;
6 Intimidate or make inflammatory comments to other community members;
The person in question had these attitudes, it was very disappointing to me that Rodrigo spoke extremely rude things to me, to other people.
When he posted on the astro to vote against Gambiarra, I felt even more disappointed.
1 because I am a teacher, I also teach, I know that my attitudes influence my students and also the people who like me,
I always try to be careful not to be rude to people because I know how painful it can be.
2 We didn’t know as much as he did, and it seems to me from the whole situation, he always ended up taking advantage since we knew almost nothing about Near.
I started researching how to create a dao, what I needed.
And I found out that Gambiarra never had a well defined roadmapping, dao values or anything like that.
I also made sure to always state how important it is to have an internal regulation based on GOV NEAR’s fundamentals.
Because a democratic movement is built through consolidated bases, and not in manipulation, and detention of information as was done.
I contacted people asking about what a Dao was, because we didn’t even know that for sure, so I also found out that it is possible to define configurations, such as who votes, how the votes are made, at the moment the Dao is opened.
Inclusive I had a strong insight, and together with two serious people, who work hard, we wrote the @octópode-dao, which carries the name of my studio in the outskirts of the city where I live, a piece inside the house where I work. Simple humble, and cozy, but very serious, always organized. Just as the presentation was made.
Back to the subject, I believe that from the moment that several people show that there is an oppressor acting within a community, most of these people being women, who feel coerced or harassed, it is necessary to talk about how the community should act with this member.
Punish? Ban? Talk? Appoint a psychologist? Treatment?
Finally, we don’t know, but I believe that dialogue will always bring light to willing consciences.
I represent, as do other women, a small portion of the population that has access to the internet, that makes nfts, which if memory serves me correctly are 5% women, not to mention that I do not speak fluent English, I use the translator a lot, I have been working since I was 15 years old formally, I study a lot, I am a teacher, so we have to understand that too… How are we making Web 3 accessible? How are we building our cultures? Or how are we going to modify a system that oppresses diverse peoples, in this case the capitalist system?
It is impossible not to talk about privileges, many of us artists are finally accessing a minimum of dignity, and I speak for myself, having access to a doctor, medicine, leisure, books, being able to study? with more tranquility, and still contribute to society, in my case, through volunteer work, creative proposals that enable society outside the near to access a certain abundance, like buying from the local economy, and having resources for this.
For Rodrigo, maybe the feeling of accomplishment for working with what he likes, and getting paid, never happened.
For the first time many of us, I speak for myself too, I see my art being bought, my work with advertising flourishing, my studio welcoming colleagues, and also bringing people to the forum, like the case of a theater teacher who is part of Gambiarra, or like a childhood friend who is a beatmeaker, a cultural producer whom, I invited to Octopode dao, to make the tracks, to coining music.
I am methodical, I don’t like to do things by industrial quantity, I like to do a lot, work a lot, create a lot, but with due attention.
And maybe that’s why I can’t follow the sick rhythm that Rodrigo was trying to do with Gambiarra, when I didn’t agree and my colleagues also didn’t agree to accept free stuff, in this case works, it was thinking about the valorization of labor, especially in our case, autonomous people from Brazil, qualified, peripheral, and that are working, they don’t want to work less and earn more, they want to work, and be valued.
We did market research, we looked at the values paid in the US, Portugal, what was the average salary for a designer, social media, marketing manager, and maybe we will never reach the same financial level, but we have the same quality.
And it is possible to find them, just look at our work.
The team, the artists of Gambiarra.
When one of us is successful, we rejoice, it makes us contagious, because we don’t want to take his place, we want to grow together, or in the same way, make it possible for other people to do the same, as Ghini did, as we did when we invited again I say Carlos, who is a theater teacher and was unemployed, and was able to get resources to present his work.
Gambiarra has members rich in intelligence, love and generosity, and the attacks we suffered were perverse.
One of these days a girl called me to take care of 7 social networks, 7 posts per week in each, for 400USD, this is absurd, it is the same as saying that because we are Brazilians, or because we are people who need to work, we should accept small amounts, the market value is another. We know that.
The network is
To finish, I leave the reflection since you like books so much.
"What science and training for a scientist do not offer us is wisdom. Modern science emerged in a culture that values appropriation and wealth, that treats knowledge as a source of power, that promotes growth and control, that respects hierarchies and domination, who glorifies appearances and success, and who has lost sight of wisdom and no longer knows how to cultivate it. We scientists, in our efforts to do what we love most, in short, scientific research, often we are imprisoned by the passions, desires and goals of our culture and we think that the expansion of science justifies everything, being blind to wisdom and the way to learn it. Wisdom thrives in respect for others, in the recognition that power emerges in submission and loss of dignity, in the acceptance that love is the emotion that constitutes social coexistence, honesty and trust, and in the recognition that the world in which we live is always, inevitably, our construction. But if science and scientific knowledge do not provide wisdom, at least they do not deny it. (Maturana, 1991:50)
