   @freeschool @invidious

   I generally do invest in people directly, just as I do in aggregate. The problem is when you help people one on one your reach has a large impact burt over very few people.

   I have many times in my life taken homeless people into my home and invested in them to get a start in life. In some cases they have stayed with me for a year or more, and in some cases I have even paid for their university fees.

   About 50% of the time it works out and the money and time is well spent. But I can at most do this for about one person every few years. It doesnt scale well. Sadly if I just give people money 99% of them never achieve anything with it, it only ever works with strong guidance and oversight, and even then at only a 50% rate. So overall while I do find this important due to the small number of people I can reach it isnt typically the bulk of the time and effort I put into helping people anymore. Especially because now investing that time into making large amounts of money I can reach and help far more people

     @freemo @invidious In short, I still don't understand why #Freemo specifically and others don't invest in people more directly to get the best out of them or make the biggest change...

     They obviously feel it / talk about it often enough and the related thoughts online which confirm that.

     But I quote Freemo again using the 💬 symbol below.

     The quote was part of this thread which jumps some topics and is not needed to read it all - the gist is this question why:

     - Why #projects of more a better #ratio and #personal #development and #social movement are not done at all more personally when people obviously see and feel how useful it is to mentor people in various ways (not just all-in mentorship but dedicated #friendships #free #service etc as a related social movement (between people also and not just #Tech) ? ❓

     Specifically this quote below is what I mean (in a non-attacking and respected way) - but why Freemo and others perfectly suited who do believe just somehow *don't invest* in people or doing less the direct thing and go for more commercial tech etc things - it just PUZZLES ME since commercial things rarely increase the personal understanding or love or trust in others when it's mostly "just business" between them... and anyway they have done that so could do a bit of something else or hand it off to others as a test...

     #Quote Freemo:
     💬 :freemo: "I agree that to really improve #society it requires one on one #care, #help, and #attention between people.

     The only thing to keep in mind is QOTO, and the greater #nonprofit around it, has a mission that has always been very STEM oriented. "

     So you see paragraph 1 and 2 said in that same ARE quite paradoxical and even opposites cutting off possibility almost of something non-tech (of course the quote is a narrow quote) but also keep in mind I seen more and have asked Freemo but a branch-off or tangent of a another type with more people focus or orientation doesn't seem to happen naturally (even as a compliment to existing projects under my own measurable results). Why still no investment (Time, money, mind power..) same as anything tested since it would cost very little of each and just to see what happens under the QOTO 'stamp of approval' to give it the #attention it need to start and see what happens (again measurable by peoples reactions / experience) .

     Please forget my longer writings in this thread (which is not needed),,,

     Just on the basis of this text... why not try yourself or enable me / others, under your minor watch to allow something small-scale to use a bit of your backing and existing respect as a kickstarter to give it a chance?

     Just see what happens and #grow 'something' (grow people / better mentality potentially etc)

     Thanks as always #Freemo
     and any #conscious people out there...

     We do need something else other better social orientated / progressive #movements,... rather than same Tech or company #progression (#aggression)...
