\u201c\u2026i don’t preach but it\u2019s each one teach one, in the streets we gotta beef or you might not eat none\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n 28 Nov 2019, 10:26pm<\/p>\n Distrito Nove, Favela<\/p>\n Brasilia, Brazil<\/p>\n \n \n Mama \u2018Berta taught Bander how to make her competition winning meringue recipe today\u2026 Bander broods on that in the pitch black.<\/p>\n {She shares what she likes and knows others will value and appreciate as well.\u00a0 She has charisma}<\/em><\/p>\n She knows how to add that extra step, that extra something something that fills voids he didn\u2019t even know was missing. \u00a0Can\u2019t explain it.\u00a0 It can only be identified and enjoyed as immensely satisfying after the facts.<\/p>\n {what can we call that\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026.connection?\u00a0 naw, too vague\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026intimate blessings?\u00a0 Naw, too sensual\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sht.\u00a0 He was feeling it.\u00a0 He admired her because she was a good teacher.\u00a0 Sweet.<\/p>\n Bander is restless in his pimped out canopy bed. Locked in in this dark abyss; this tiny room for two. His body is yelling at him that he is tired. So he recaps further.<\/p>\n Sometimes Pepe swings by to eat with them.<\/p>\n A few months back, while making him do the dishes, Bander noted that Mama \u2018Berta never included Pagpag in her cooking plans, and he would step out to smoke or run errands around these times.<\/p>\n Mama \u2018Berta cooked good, Bander knew he was learning from the best. Pepe had dropped by today to show off the progress on his new revolutionary business idea that would milk money away from the tourists and assist the familias surrounding them.\u00a0 {Pepe is a big vision warrior, his fkn art competes.\u00a0 He\u2019s not far from going live with it.\u00a0 He has other kids working with him already despite challenges}<\/em><\/p>\n Bander had been working with him for some time now in how to use the virtual over reality action camera he had stolen from him.\u00a0 Bander would teach him one thing, Pepe would turn that lesson into 3 things on the camera that Bander didn\u2019t even know it could do when Pepe showed back up, usually a few days later.<\/p>\n {Fk it, he can keep it.\u00a0 For all intents and purposes that gopro was custom made for this little mf. \u00a0The whole fkn company and that cointra 501st<\/sup> chip was created just so that tech would end up in this kid\u2019s hands.\u00a0 Everything, including me, we\u2019re just a timeline actors on some bizzare destiny sht.\u00a0 This little bandolero went beyond what I would be willing to use this machine for and he was going big and going home with it}<\/em><\/p>\n Pepe had programmed and edited automatic augmented reality visuals over the most touristy of the favela streets he personally walked around and recorded time and time again.\u00a0 He then went in and overlayed some advanced show\/hide pre-edits he crammed in on the touchscreen capable GUI.\u00a0 Eventually, he found out how to use the outdated AI software to machine learn his processes and intents to advance him even further and mix the editing with immediate overview overlays, making the experience seamless, as if everything was live.<\/p>\n Bander got to check it out for himself through the pre-recordings. Camera goes up.\u00a0 Software goes up.\u00a0 The scene is in front of you.\u00a0 New semi-interactive worlds pop up as you move.\u00a0 Guiding you to answers to your questions.\u00a0 Hand holding you on your wants and needs.\u00a0 Making it easy.\u00a0 Seamless.\u00a0 No need to think about it.<\/p>\n Because they couldn\u2019t use tax controlled apps, the software was being run on a usb that connects to a phone through an adapter.\u00a0 Pepes peers in his new familia were working on making it more accessible through a webpage, adding a downloadable link from that page that looks like an app emoji on the main screen.\u00a0 Words and names and letters in the environment were automatically translated by an over filter pop-up, including sign language using hand emoji symbols on a loop.<\/p>\n He made paths show up showing you where to walk with little checkpoints of interest as you walked if you had preset some preferences. \u00a0{the marketing sector would be all over this}<\/em><\/p>\n As extra touches, Pepe had added ghost guides with different actors he had pre-recorded to show up at some checkpoints as informational or historical points of interest. Pepe had included location helping filters with options for hospitals, getting there from the sidewalks outside and also navigating inside their mazes of floors, hallways and compassed wings to get to the different specialty offices within them.\u00a0 He also had walking map outs and ghost guides crammed in the different city barrios and familia commune areas libraries, kitchens, supplies, entertainment, etc.<\/p>\n Activating the food option would will bring up different labels as path presets, filtering down as you are more selective, such as Native foods having the drop box options of local, Indian, Peruvian, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Chinese, Lebanese, etc.\u00a0 These were not just restaurants, these were actual people and their houses or common areas where they pre-agreed with Pepe to open themselves up and share their culture and foods with strangers during certain times and certain days.<\/p>\n Next to local foods, he had a dropdown box filter for the imperial food locations; such as French, American manufactured foods, British, Canadian, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish cuisines.\u00a0 They were all physical restaurants or takeout locations in taxed property areas of Brasilia.<\/p>\n Selecting down on these options makes less and less overlay paths show up.\u00a0 Bander is impressed by Pepes overall resolve in this project.<\/p>\n Pepe had made hand gestures explaining to Bander that what he\u2019s done is nothing so far, it ain\u2019t sht, he wants to take it further.\u00a0 He wants to be able to put a link-chip on books or tools to give the familias active tracking on each other and each others tools and books and bikes and houses and buildings.\u00a0 This would assist all the different libraries and community centers that were being built.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pepe insists that this way, nothing and nobody will ever get lost and misunderstandings do not become tragedies.\u00a0 It helps solve communication and ignorance problems. {Pepe\u2019s got barz\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026it\u2019s a masterpiece what this kid is creating. \u00a0Innovative as fk. \u00a0It adds value and convenience to the next level.\u00a0 This could be used in hospitals to find eloped patients.\u00a0 Used in warehouses to find inventory.\u00a0 Used by everybody to find their car keys\u2026\u00a0 \u2026 parents find their kids and kids find their parents in a mall\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026Can be used by football teams in their helmets to coordinate plays with HUDs.\u00a0 Can be used by military to coordinate attacks with HUDs.\u00a0 Can be used by me to find familia members nearby who speak English or are wing-suiters.\u00a0 Bander was growing to be a better communicator.\u00a0 From words to body language.\u00a0 {Pepe was a problem solver.\u00a0 A go getter.\u00a0 A real comedian}<\/em><\/p>\n Pepe had made Bander laugh hard today, really hit him with the real. Pepe had showed his accomplishment to Bander proudly.\u00a0 Confidently.\u00a0 Pepe always holds up his end up of the bargain and hooks Bander up with things from Tim Hortons menu from the city.\u00a0 Bander was able to enjoy both Mama \u2018Berta Meringue and a chocolate chunk cookie.<\/p>\n {It was a fkn luxury today\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026fk is wrong with me.\u00a0 why can\u2019t I fkn sleep.\u00a0 Mf Pagpag isn\u2019t even blasting his fkn hip-hop like he usually does, he blacked out from drinking too much today.\u00a0 He does that from time to time}<\/em><\/p>\n Bander moves on to think about the community.\u00a0 He has been burning his skin and clothes welding as his go-to labor.\u00a0 Sometimes signs up to be a community cook.\u00a0 He is sought after from time to time for giving advise and input here and there to things people feel he might know how to help with.\u00a0 Ranging usually from basic metal work, painting, and skateboarding questions and some basic editing and computer issues.\u00a0 From time to time, inquiries regarding business strategy and complex financial related questions, tricks, contracts, loopholes, and psycho-social money behaviors and rule analyzing popped up.\u00a0 He enjoyed it when those problems found their way to him.\u00a0 Bander has been building parks.\u00a0 Gardens.\u00a0 Libraries of all kinds.\u00a0 Book libraries.\u00a0 Tool libraries.\u00a0 Material libraries.\u00a0 Clothing libraries.\u00a0 Movie libraries.\u00a0 Music libraries.\u00a0 {Theres a fkn library for everything\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026and it\u2019s fkn working for them.\u00a0 \u2026it checks out.\u00a0 My time isn\u2019t being wasted\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026I go to these same buildings later on and they know I was part of this.\u00a0 Am always treated well with appreciation, food, clothes, coffee, hugs and handshakes and offers of reciprocation and support\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026the last one was using 3d printing theme and they insisted I print a 3d obj for myself and to come back anytime\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026the lady there, Lourdes, suggested I get myself two bad ass damarosacraft jewelry boxes with wooden-plastic filament\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026Sht came out tight, it was different.\u00a0 Unique.\u00a0 Lot of art and intent went into it and didn\u2019t realize it until I felt it in my hand.\u00a0 .\u00a0 A little something something for Mama \u2018Berta, just have to wait on a special occasion.\u00a0 Got another box as a backup, just in case Mosa comes back or something.\u00a0 Going to put a note in that one.\u00a0 Like, I\u2019m not the same person as before please let me go now or something.\u00a0 Harder to hit someone who does sht like that.\u00a0 Draw a puppy face on it if you fkn have to.\u00a0 Can\u2019t think of sht else.\u00a0 Fk, I hope she doesn\u2019t come back and they let me go or something…}<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n Bander quickly jumps off thinking about Mosa and his enslavement, and gets back to thinking about the happenings around his prison.<\/p>\n The many hydroponic and aquaponic centers were legit.\u00a0 They were producing tons of food in limited vertical space. Bander had worked on the metal shelves himself, making some custom frames and employing the quick Pagpag corner connector fast build techniques. Bander passes his hand over his liver cage.\u00a0 Mama \u2018Berta and Pagpag had taken him to a local hero that day, Mr. Faria.<\/p>\n Bander had come in a hot mess, a bloody disgusting mess and broken. Mister Faria didn\u2019t care at all for the sht pants and blood fkn his house up when Bander was brought in.\u00a0 After then, he was always mindful of him.\u00a0 Mister Faria visited at times at Mama \u2018Bertas house, or asked him how he was recovering if he bumped into him outside.\u00a0 Bander had also helped build the community health teaching and emergency care clinic for the Familia Faria started.\u00a0 It is one of the few familias to get over 100 members in it, keeping it self-reliant, organized and effective.\u00a0 The emergency title in the clinic was not an organizational label, it was a priority symbol.\u00a0 His clinics were emulated by other familias and were already starting to comfort and save lives.\u00a0 Some people from the taxed-lands, as the familias have starting calling them, were starting to come into the favelas for help.\u00a0 \u00a0Shelter.\u00a0 Food.\u00a0 Medical Care.\u00a0 Community.<\/p>\n Slowly depriving the government of believers in their religion of laws and economics.\u00a0<\/p>\n The labor sucks, but has been manageable for Bander.\u00a0 {we take turns on projects.\u00a0 Trust each other in communicating expectations.\u00a0 We identify something that looks stupid or unsafe and it gets fixed, no mandatory expectations or else.\u00a0 Just peer pressure, curiosity, boredom and other fascinations pushing us together.\u00a0 At the end of the day, if you don\u2019t want to be there, if you don\u2019t want to participate, you don\u2019t have to.\u00a0 nobody wants anybody there who does not want to be there\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026actually, another angle they have been using is that anybody can leave any familia, especially if they are not working together on their wants and needs\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026familias that don\u2019t work together, don\u2019t survive\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026These guys are not letting me leave. \u00a0No familia can force each other to stay\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026yeah, I got this unique situation, maybe not something I want to be shouting out here, but still.\u00a0 It will be something they have to talk about\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026they will have to deal with it.\u00a0 And if anybody can protect him from Mosa, it would be the familias being aware of the situation}<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Bander starts contemplating the security and justice system in his environment. \u00a0 {\u2026Pagpag had brought it up before, we don\u2019t have a solid solution for both security nor how to resolve a murder or rapist problem\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026and that itself is a major problems\u2026.\u00a0 crime isn\u2019t really a major threat here, everybody knows each other to closely to risk their social capital and they have made fighting desperation and poverty conditions a priority to address\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026their justice system isn\u2019t bad, no matter what, worst comes to worst, their own justice system within these familias might protect me from Mosa\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026That\u2019s right.\u00a0 Mosa has not been here.\u00a0 Mosa doesn\u2019t know about all of these changes and she could not have possibly foreseen this in her kidnapping me plans}\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n For the moment, familias seem to agree that any escalated issue, case or story has to be heard by everyone, and anybody can ask questions and help collect evidence and fill in any gaps and produce a final version together before jumping to conclusions.\u00a0 In this system, everyone discusses. \u00a0Victims have the heaviest voice, the direct familias have a second voice, all other familias anywhere have a third voice if they are in any way involved.\u00a0 The offendor has the last voice\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 Censorship is not allowed, everyone has a voice.\u00a0\u00a0 Lies, exaggerations, baseless opinions and all other non-truths are weeded out religiously\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026 Being locked in did not mean you were censored.\u00a0 Anybody in the community could access an offendor in holding.<\/p>\n They had one offendor so far in district 9.\u00a0 They held him in a transparent room in the center of a main community area.\u00a0 He was another senior sex-tourist from the taxedlands.\u00a0 The victim was a minor.\u00a0 The offendor was allowed to speak.\u00a0 Allowed to share his bullshit story. \u00a0Also allowed to share his truthful story.\u00a0 He was allowed to give his explanations and reasonings.\u00a0 And then was starved to death.\u00a0 No one in the community kept him alive, even though anyone could have fed him\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0\u2026this was a real life dilemma to the familias\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2026and the question always lingered to them, and was presented by the victim at some point, perpetually haunting them, what would have been a better solution.<\/p>\n The familias only consolidation was that at least they took responsibility for their own security and problem, and had control over the resolutions\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026This system was still better than the taxed world system.\u00a0 The outside system where the lawyers and judges and media, not the community, controlled the narrative and conclusion.\u00a0 Affluenza defenses don\u2019t fly here.\u00a0 Corporate entities as made believe people have no voice here.<\/p>\n {familias have been on the ball building environments and relationships.\u00a0 The social deviants and social justice warriors were working towards solving problems left and right.\u00a0 {Mama \u2018Berta swears that the kitchen is the most important socio-educational place on earth.\u00a0 It has extreme temperatures and chemistries that require extreme and niche tools and materials.\u00a0 And its always solving problems.\u00a0 Relationship problems.\u00a0 Depression and anxiety problems.\u00a0 Societal problems.\u00a0 Mathematical problems.\u00a0 Physical problems.\u00a0 Physics problems.\u00a0 The heart of society beats around the kitchen.\u00a0 If you control the kitchen, you control the house.\u00a0 If the house shares the kitchen, the house can feed the world\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026She and Chef \u2018Berto and another son I\u2019ve never seen came from Venezuela to find work here.\u00a0 When their life savings ran out and their restaurant business failed from scams and citizenry barriers.\u00a0 They couldn\u2019t afford to keep paying the lawyers and taxes, they were forced to into district 9 together. Outcasted by the government system.\u00a0 Nonetheless, her philosophy was also her business strategy.\u00a0 Her cooking pays in a gold and dollar economy.\u00a0 It also pays in a social capital economy}<\/em>\u00a0 There was starting to circulate different strategies for food preservation and preparation.\u00a0 They smoked food wherever they could.\u00a0 Sun dried it in other spaces.\u00a0 Canned foods in other familias.\u00a0 Other areas used lard.\u00a0 They were honing the techniques of salting their meats.\u00a0 They were comfortable making pemmican out of their hunts.\u00a0 They reconverted lands that used to be for cattle and slaughter houses.\u00a0 They hunted instead, to hone in their teamwork skills, death tools and strategies around them, and balance out the meat cycle.\u00a0 To be more humane about it.<\/p>\n They upcycled plastic bottles into beehomes around jungles and gardens, intending their honey harvests to be less invasive and mutually beneficial in the man-bee relationship cycle. Freeze dryers were being supplied to community kitchens to freeze dry food around the clock; preserving fruits and vegetables and meals to save from spoilage and creating the bestest snacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reserve food warehouses were being stuffed for local use, and excess was traded with more distant familias in exchange for other foods or materials or support.\u00a0 This was being multiplied.\u00a0 Momentum was being built.<\/p>\n It’s alive out here.<\/p>\n Bander keeps reflecting on the happenings.<\/p>\n He had noted a discarded pile of bic lighters were being collected and recycle by a one person familia.\u00a0 From the endless pile of bic lighters the flint, springs, and wheels were being separated, sorted, and either stored, repurposes or melted.\u00a0 Dude just worked on it as a niche and other people followed suit and style.<\/p>\n Little innovations were popping up everywhere.\u00a0 Another rando used her corn grinder to turn glass into glass sand.\u00a0 The glass sand was used in sand bags to reinforce buildings and create makeshift dome houses.<\/p>\n Another rando took Styrofoam piles and dipped it into acetone or gasoline and turned it into glue and fire starters.\u00a0 Some other familias modified the recipes and turned this polyurethane into a makeshift epoxy flooring and sealant on concrete.\u00a0 They stored it any of the endless 5 gallon paint buckets out there.<\/p>\n Other people were making their own activated carbon and charcoal. Folks were turning cooking oil and kitchen grease into diesel.\u00a0 These waters were ran through plastic containers holding gravel, sand, activated charcoal filters, water was prioritized to being clean and potable. Bander had to make a double take and stayed watching for hours a local builder team who solved the problem of moving cement up to further floors.\u00a0 He was using a Mr Olds elevator that he learned from an Australian who was visiting a familia from another favela.<\/p>\n {there\u2019s already Archimedes screws here being used for water projects, but this one was made into a reverse Archimedes screw.\u00a0 Pagpag was with me that day.\u00a0 When Pagpag heard an Australian demming was in another district, he spoke to some people and took me to go visit the next day.\u00a0 Breaking the rules for the second time of not leaving district 9.\u00a0 This particular one hit a spot, why\u2026\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026even Pagpag noticed something here.\u00a0 What does this mean\u2026}<\/em><\/p>\n Bander moves on to think over the energy situation here.<\/p>\n Some familias secured generators of all kinds.\u00a0 They brought them to community areas and shared what they learned from reverse engineering them.\u00a0 All kinds of generators were being brought in and dissected.\u00a0 And new generators were being experimented with.\u00a0 The competition was to secure a high energy\/high efficiency\/low maintenance energy source.\u00a0 It needed to have accessible materials and handle the electrical needs of individual familias and those of up to 150.<\/p>\n They were experimenting with iron-air batteries in one area.\u00a0 Everyone was on an electricity race and supporting those groups.\u00a0 Carbon zinc batteries were being made locally.\u00a0 Lead acid batteries.\u00a0 Graphene batteries\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u2026 they would have got into diamond batteries and micro atomic generators if the materials and logistics were not under external control.\u00a0<\/p>\n Battery innovations, energy storage and transfer innovations, were high on their priroirty list.

He found it intriguing how he can see how money shapes people’s behaviors and makes them predictable, and people predictably couldn’t see that.\u00a0
It\u2019s where he felt he had more know how than others, a niche not many others could fill.\u00a0

Our bodies and communities have always been our best doctors.<\/p>\n
Mister Faria didn\u2019t know him but provided the best treatment he could have possibly gotten anywhere else on earth.
Bander would go back to him anyday of anyyear with anyinjury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mister Faria didn\u2019t ask Bander to sign a non-disclosure, liability releasing mediation agreement before getting into the fray.\u00a0 Dr. Faria stopped the bleeding, stopped the pain, helped the breathing and treated for shock. \u00a0
After that and stabilizing Bander, the three of them helped clean Bander up.
Once Bander was treated for his injuries, cleaned, and passed out.
The three of them cleaned Dr. Farias house.<\/p>\n
Hooked him up with some meds for sleep as well, he understood Pagpag is not the quietest nor most considerate cellmate ever.\u00a0 Bander never paid this guy a cent.\u00a0 {Pedro Faria\u2026\u00a0 \u00a0\u2026moved here from area between Manguinho and Jacarezinho Favela\u2026\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2026aka the gaza strip\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2026another name I\u2019ll never forget}<\/em><\/p>\n

Food was precious energy and nutrition; they prioritized it as essential to survive.\u00a0
Making food taste good and sharing with others was how they thrived.\u00a0 The goal was universal food security.\u00a0
No moneys here.\u00a0 No ownership of it.\u00a0 It was a social necessity.<\/p>\n
To be more humane about it.<\/p>\n
Another group of teenagers in a familia copied a technique from a Kenyan company, and were able to make coal briquettes from human waste.\u00a0 Another group were using these coals to try to get a mini custom build steam turbine engine going for household electricity using their own household waste and possibly community sludge.<\/p>\n
A special white paint was introduced that made painted surfaces lower than ambient temperature, increasing the temperature and comfort of homes and communal areas.
Old Fans and car generators were repurposed as wind power generators and miniature hydro plants.\u00a0
Wirtz pumps and ram pumps were common place, elevating and pumping and supplying familias with water with no electricity involved.

A local dudette in another area took copper heat pipe bars and wrapped it around like a compact spring 2 meters high.\u00a0 Put it in a 50 gallon drum with sand covering half the pipe.\u00a0 She then covered the whole thing in a glass container, experimenting on trapping and retaining heat power for as high and as long as possible to convert it into electricity and steam power.\u00a0 Her friend, and not so secret admirer from another familia, was trying to match this concept to a sterling engine running a bicycle wheel, to advance these goals asap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that they were not starving for the next clean meal, they were starving for that clean accessible free energy.<\/p>\n
A familia of 4 nearby took their welding machines with carbon rods and within a small fire brick cutout they turned all kinds of perennial trash metals and glass into instant puddles and poured into ingot molds.\u00a0 These ingots were then placed into a material libraries for to feed any community projects or support other like minded communities in need of metals.\u00a0 He had tried this himself with his equipment, it worked just the way they had taught him.\u00a0

Point of it all is, it\u2019s like, really effective cement that can do a lot if you put your mind to it.<\/p>\n
One week, just everybody get to cooking and working on this and getting a feel for it.\u00a0 Week two, we take the top recipes and start field testing them.\u00a0 By the end of the month, we should have a few aircrete formulas that can really push this sht we doing out here forward. \u00a0Faster and safer.<\/p>\n

Hey, remember that familia up the block that was using sand as mold for aluminum melts?\u00a0 I think aircrete can replace that technique as a mold.\u00a0 A good recipe of aircrete should be able to handle it.\u00a0 We just gotta get on this.<\/p>\n
Keep looking at each other.<\/p>\n
