Capitalism will not solve poverty. Capitalism needs poor people to be poor.

"The Hong Kong Journalists' Association is appealing to journalists to preserve Facebook live video footage of 2019 protests after Meta said it will start deleting archived videos from its servers. There are concerns that much of the online footage of those protests, most of which is banned in the city amid an ongoing crackdown on dissent, will no longer be available to the general public."

Since nothing makes sense anymore, let's start with numbers 3 & 3.5. 
I'll try to give a brief summary of the chemistry, including links and visual aids before moving onto how I think it could relate to being an activist.
Spoiler: My main takeaways are positive & encouraging.
"#3. activation energy for a chemical reaction
#3.5 enzymes as catalysts
Activation energy is the amount of energy you have to add to a system to cause a reaction to occur. (The positive change that you are trying to bring about in the world.)
Spontaneous reactions don't require this activation energy, but you usually won't observe this reaction unless you add new chemicals because everything that can react (at the present temperature) has already done so & the system is at an equilibrium.
Graph added with explanation in the alt text.
Full disclosure: I'm not a physicist, but I do work with one. My degree is in biology, I've studied epidemiology/public health & my day job is as a microscopist.
My natural tendency as a #generalist is to think interdisciplinarily & I also feel that is where the greatest breakthroughs are going to come from. We've mined most aspects of science to the point that where additional study in a particular topic is usually in finer and finer minutiae. However, I feel that huge breakthroughs or at least new patterns of thinking can be acheived by looking at an existing problem with an eye towards knowledge learned from even seemingly unrelated areas.
Maybe @FantasticalEconomics @resl or you might have some input at how all of this might be applied towards the previously mentioned goal of a worldwide economic revolution. Until then I will keep it broader & try to get the general idea I was trying to convey out of my head & into yours.

I wrote about three mistakes I've seen well-meaning antifascist folks make, such as sharing Nazi stickers/banners/etc with uncensored URLs in them. https://kitoconnell.com/2025/03/11/dont-accidentally-platform-fascist-propaganda/
Kit O'Connell: Approximately 8,000 Words · Don't be a platform for fascist propaganda - Kit O'Connell: Approximately 8,000 WordsHere are three common mistakes well-meaning antifascists make when they share information about fascist activities or propaganda online.
My latest: Last year, I covered the chaos as a peaceful protest for #Palestine at the University of Texas at #Austin was attacked by state troopers and local police. Unknown to me, a respected UT professor I'd interviewed for other stories was also there, and was about to have an encounter with cops that would cost him his career.
Today, Austin Free Press is releasing video from that incident showing the trooper deliberately shoving him multiple times. https://austinfreepress.org/days-of-rage/

Out today at Austin Free Press: Respected UT professor Richard Heyman was arrested and lost his job after an altercation with police at a protest for #Palestine last year.

Hey #TeslaTakedown, I created a short zine on tactics you can use at protests if you're getting harassed by unwanted people with cameras (i.e. Wannbe Infowars dudes, aka media trolls)...
I think y'all might be needing this soon.

Do you want to help preserve the social media account of closed DEI programs in the southern US? Do you have some free time right now and don’t mind repetitive tasks of downloading images & pasting descriptions into spreadsheets? I promise you, it goes pretty quickly once you get a system!
Invisible Histories started a program to download and archive DEI programs’ social media content before they are taken down. You are assigned a couple years for a specific DEI office to archive and upload to Google docs. Read more about the program and sign up here: https://bit.ly/DEIAVolunteer

Fusion centers also routinely investigate constitutionally protected activity including strikes, labor management incidents, and union controversies. [They have also] spied on peaceful protestors"
