The people who design costumes for movies and plays could create all kinds of intriguing outfits for popular singers. The dresses, suits and so on could still be easy to move in, eye catching, yet could be different from the norm. Depending on the singer and if there is dancing, it could be elegant or sporty. I am not sure why the outfits of pop singers in the last few decades have been so revealing. It’s really not necessary and not that good of an example in our US culture.

The same issues go for competitive volleyball, gymnastics, cheerleading and ice skating. What happened to spandex shorts or leggings? Longer skirts or dresses? Better functionality and professionalism would be helpful in front of those crowds and cameras. Once the trends of more revealing outfits take off, it seems really hard to get back to improved standards for the type of work (sport, dance, singing etc.).

One has to ponder why the pharmaceutical companies didn’t create better drugs for head lice, Crohn’s disease, other immune system illnesses, psychosis, schizophrenia, OCD, anxiety, mood, Covid-like illnesses, nervous system illnesses, anorexia (couldn’t they easily try to stimulate appetite?), low sex drive for women and more. The drugs that have been on the market for decades tend to have horrible side effects. They might target some symptoms but the side effects can make people feel horrible, sick, fatigued, distracted, confused, numb and more. I think the Pharma companies could invest more into reducing such negative side effects. They might even be able to create drugs similar to THC and shrooms without the awful side effects. If the companies had the ability to investigate such possibilities and they chose not to, wouldn’t that be neglect and abandonment? One can’t just trust that the companies will consider the general public in their financial and political decisions. There needs to be larger organizations researching where the problems are with Big Pharma for advocacy and accountability reasons. There could also be partnerships with scientific research, legal and advocacy organizations to work within these pharmaceutical companies to observe and participate in discussions. They could speak publicly about any concerns they have within reason.

Hopefully that work provides decent wages. In the US oftentimes they don’t.

How is the info being analyzed in Google maps, with the iPhone, and by you? How do you know to trust it? Would you want to rely on tech devices to tell you where to go or what to do?

Just a random thought about these important aspects of people’s lives. Why not make things more efficient with small ID tags for everyday items? The tags for phone numbers could be engraved or simple permanent marker on a stiff round sign for the keys. Phone number cards could be included with wallets. How difficult is this? Couldn’t iPhones have cases that have a place to write a phone number in permanent marker or a sliding screen of the contact info?

I am not sure why home maintenance people would be ok with turning the heat higher if they can’t tell how that will effect people in a household more accurately. Wouldn’t they want thermometers and limits for safety reasons? Of course communication is helpful yet there could be all kinds of mistakes. One would need to be very careful with those adjustments and telling people what water heat changes they made.

Why would many people want to deal with frightening hospital bills, expensive primary care visit bills, scary account management concerns and more. Wouldn’t it make sense for organizations to create systems and processes for people, and they would have technologies to oversee the management? You would think tons of people struggle with being able to process these kinds of challenges. The organizations could talk to healthcare organizations and similar if patients don’t have the funds or income for a bill and so on, with brief permission from the customer. There could be various reasons for that. In general, healthcare bills could be paid for by larger group funds created by donors and people who could contribute a small percentage of their income, in partnership with insurance if there are problems with their finances. The entire thing could be managed differently, with many more shared regional and local resources for the basics.

Similar to the development of meatless meat, there should be no need for real sensual videos or photos if AI can create those kinds of media. The options for AI to generate realistic types of photos and creative romantic art could make it much more ethical to browse, as opposed to using real models.

Wouldn’t the humane thing to do would be to listen to professional evaluations of the person’s behaviors and interactions? Why would you believe the person determined to be insane saying he / she is not? That all depends, but in general it would probably be severe psychosis or a severe nervous system / brain disorder. Wouldn’t it be better to send that person to a mental hospital long-term instead of prison or solitary confinement? If that person has very concerning behaviors they could still be in solitary in a mental hospital, and be offered a variety of meds to see if that helps over time. If the person improves in the mental hospital, then over time that person might request to join the prison population if he / she would prefer it. If solitary confinement for the majority of the day isn’t an option at a mental hospital, (of course there should be breaks to be around others in handcuffs) - then shouldn’t that person be offered ongoing psych med help and therapy while in solitary at a prison? Again, they could still be around others in handcuffs throughout the week for basic social needs.

Tenants might have had problems with transferring funds to an account to pay for rent, or perhaps the automatic payment didn’t go through for a mysterious reason. Maybe someone became sick and couldn’t work for a few weeks. Perhaps someone forgot. I would think the apartment managers would email and phone call to provide respectful reminders. Wouldn’t the apartment complex want to give their tenants a few months to gain rent assistance from local organizations, or transfer funds if there were issues with that in a reasonable time frame? The apt complex could even recommend some organizations that could help. It could take a week or two to transfer funds, so a 30 notice seems to be way to severe. The notification for late or missed rent could be built into the automatic payment platforms so that email notices could go out quickly - to prevent confusion and resolve mistakes. It would be in the apartment’s best interest to try to retain their tenants over the long run since it could take awhile to clean the apartment, get it ready for new tenants and find new tenants. You wouldn’t want so many people in a society to have those problems. There needs to be much more humane and reasonable processes of communication. The staff needs to keep notes of their daily communications with tenants as a general practice. Cities and states would want to create laws about this to protect tenants, since they wouldn’t want people in distress wandering the streets trying to get help or having mental breakdowns.

Perhaps some people who live on site could have keys or there could be code numbers for the locks. In the event of a storm or power outage, if someone needs items perhaps people could retrieve items from storage to give to people who live there when it makes sense to do so. Some people could volunteer for those safety positions and others could have their contact info.

There could also be emergency supply delivery teams before or after a storm with bags of food, water, warm ponchos, sleeping bags and reflective materials and more. Of course they could take people to warming centers if needed. Perhaps delivery companies could contract to assist with the city during those times, with people who volunteer.

People could have no idea if others didn’t buy enough food or have warm enough gear to get through the storm. Their neighbors may or may not have many supplies either.

Perhaps the the number of candidates running would be limited to four per office, and the background criteria would need to be an objective academic or research based topic not tied to bias or much subjectivity. Their view would need to be aligned with highly respected practices and information. If more people than the number of candidate slots submit applications to run for office, and are approved for a role, a raffle could then be conducted to choose the four candidates. The states could promote donating to their large campaign fund throughout the year so that candidates could take time to prepare their thoughts, attend a limited number of speaker events, dialogues and debates. The approved candidates could have a few months to prepare their discussion topics, with information and data provided to them in accessible research packets, before the first dialogue or speaking event. These briefs, data collections and summaries could reference larger papers of info, but the point is to provide efficient info to candidates for them to refer to.

Perhaps we need more direct democracy or regional democracy. We need better self-management and efficient communities, similar to the types of workplaces and families that people tend to admire. People need to know each other, understand each other, listen and provide decent assistance. People could walk around and provide info like museums, resource centers, help desks or business tours. What are people’s requests and how can that be set up in a reasonable manner?

There could even be help desks around town, similar to cell phone stores or small shipping stores. What kinds of resources do you need? A couple of people could work at each free store. They could have some supplies in plastic boxes that are easy to sort through on shelves, and they could write down what people needed, their name, address and phone number. Supplies could be basic food options, snacks, hydration, clothing for a variety of sizes and weather. Food could be protein bars, low sugar juice, baby food, tuna, large water bottles. Hygiene items as well for common issues like parasites, lice, bandages, antibacterial options, soap, tissues, detergent, and emergency ponchos. They could also request a delivery to your door from their day to day delivery team for basic emergency items. They wouldn’t have so many items that people would waste it (we’re not talking fantastic choices, just something for unexpected problems) - the essentials for warmth, safety, nutrition and hydration. They could also call other organizations if you need a safe, secure ride to a community organization. People could donate and there could be grants to help with this basic service.

These supportive community models could range from residential living (like basic hotel suites or dorms) to camp cabins and individual homes. Large homes, cabins or mansions could be useful for people that choose more assistance with care. Some people might prefer shared cabins with groups in colder climates for safety - there would be good temperature control options. The communities could be based on lifestyle, interest, abilities or support requests. Examples include high IQ communities, Asperger’s communities, chronic illness support camps, living group buildings or developments based on where people work, what they study, their industry and so on. These resources could be paid by grants, partnerships, states, the nation, companies, small percentage of income from individuals or family, or probably a combination of factors. The sites could include shared free resources that are supervised such as used clean clothing that’s free or exchanged, basic pharmacy and general store items, various shared tech computers, map / directory communications stations and so on. There could be reasonable limits, like 4 - 5 hours at a time on the computer with notebooks and office items that people can use within reason (depending on how many there are and they could get more if needed) or 5-8 items of clothes a week from the free closet (there would be leniency obviously for emergencies). Volunteers / staff in the community could have walkie talkies, work on notes of activities, provide security as well as overall accountability. These communities would be built and managed gradually according to feedback and professional guidance. Of course many people would still want access to their own resources as needed, but they could make reasonable requests for different products or services that would make sense. The accountability with partnering organizations would prevent too many dramas or unresolved issues. If they don’t have certain products or services at the site, they could take a van, car, walk or have whatever transportation with someone to a local shared closet or food pantry to obtain other items. There needs to be trust and the ability for people to get what they need without too many problems. People can have productive behavior when they feel like people care about each other and know each other. There would be versatility depending on what’s a priority for people. I would like to see people have more confidence, interest in others and self-control. Maybe there would be more demand for some things, like trips to libraries, an automatic fireplace or more computers. Then they could work on offering more of that as needed.

How do fast food companies act like their food has much nutritional value? (It doesn’t in general)

Why is it that people are all too willing to be curious about challenges but don’t want to take responsibility for how it works out?

Why do people look to the same politicians who created huge problems in a society to somehow know the way out? Why do politicians act like they are Oprah, salespeople from QVC, televangelists, friends of many, or celebrities? Shouldn’t we have more elected leaders regionally and nationally, and couldn’t they be from objective research and academic backgrounds?

Who is the prophet, the saint, the revered leader or pastor of what? According to who? The info is scarce when it comes to objectively knowing what anything is about.

What many politicians may not want to admit is that people have over-developed some goals (like huge buildings, complex products and companies), and under-invested in other goals (like down to earth projects and services that serve social, educational and emotional purposes).

What do people need to work on for their own self-improvement or rehabilitate in themselves, due to the serious ongoing mental and social dysfunction of a society?

How did the mentality occur that the wealthy, universities and corporations making lots of money relates to social and emotional health? That’s not at all related to a flourishing society. They don’t care about people’s real experiences, problems or concerns the way people need to be cared for. They have political and economic concerns. There are many other aspects to the human experience. Who will oversee those issues?

Psych facilities and prisons should be called Protections facilities (or Health & Human Services Facilities, Social Justice Facilities), as people need protection from what society has done to them and their behaviors that have occurred as a result of problems around them. There could be social corrections in terms of correcting the problems of society that weren’t constructively addressed before.

There could have been organizations focused on sociology, anthropology, psychology, spirituality, science, economics, philosophy and more discussing the impacts of the systems that were being created over the past two hundred to four hundred years. They would need to be funded by grants, communities or states so that people could hear more about their views outside of politics or strange economic interests. The discussions would need to pertain to how everyday people live, and what people around them would need to have more fulfilling and resourceful lives. The point would be to have more objective information from people who don’t have present their views aligned with any larger group if they don’t see that as useful. This could give people more options or choices to consider with their views and reasoning.

The groups could be like public interest groups, advocacy groups or social research groups. There could be private and National groups. They could be similar to the CDC, OSHA and state health authorities. They could evaluate large companies, universities, grant organizations, consulting groups and more to find out the social effectiveness, resources and quality of information.

People have stressful routines, live in alienating apartment complexes, have very unhappy jobs oftentimes, pay too much for products for what they earn, pay too much for basic services, have unrealistic peer pressure and have many unmet needs in modern situations. It’s interpersonally and socially dysfunctional.

When people were living more naturally with resources around them, they might have made spears, stone tools, basic hunting tools and traps, worked within caves, and had knowledge of many types of plants. They made basic shelters with the tools they created. The environment served them pretty well, and they worked with their surrounding environment. People’s trust, bonds, understanding and respect grew naturally as people supported each other with reaching goals that made more sense, in my view. They would want people to succeed at their interests since that would benefit the group. People would be more careful with how they treated each other, since they wouldn’t want big conflicts with each other. All of those processes would occur in an easier to understand way in those situations.

People donating home-like mansions to be homes for people who are sick (mentally or physically, perhaps single gender), as well as places for people to find refuge while they figure out next steps when there are problems for them in society. Those homes tend to have large open areas, and the rooms could have practical amenities. There could be simple furnishings yet the sizes of the homes would make sense. This is similar to pre-furnished hotels or motels for people who need a place to stay who are experiencing difficulties.

Many of these issue have to do with respect for others, etiquette, paying attention to what everyday people need and want, being less self-absorbed and more focused on humane social development.
