However, the reasons I'm doing this apprenticeship are for one: to educate you about the world and how it really works (this thing with trade).

Second: to learn something that might be useful later on in life (if I'm able to manage a lot of servers, I can help other projects for example).

And third: because it's fun. It's fun to be "in the trade system" and showcase the ridiculousness of it, so that we as one human species can move beyond this game and start to really care about ourselves and the planet.

Here's the documentary I was talking about in the video:

So I would just love to see more people talking about trade a problem and pushing this idea forward. It's so exciting to see more projects like PeerTube, Friendica and YunoHost coming into existence, but we should not forget why these projects are so important and what they are fighting against.
That's why I also offer some trade-free services in german now: https://tromdienste.de

I tested TROM-Jaro on this Dell: Inspiron 15 7000 Series 2-in-1-System (7506) with a 15,6-inch-WVA-TrueLife-Touch-Display with UHD-resolution (3.840 x 2.160) including active pen and as I said pretty much everything worked great. The touch screen and active pen don't work as well as under windows, but at least it worked which is impressive.
The next days I will test tromjaro on a Dell XPS 15 inch and probably make a video about that. I said this is one of the best laptops out there. Of course there are better ones, but I think it's a really good one.

TROMJaro will most likely work on your laptop/computer as well, except you have one of the latest macbooks.
I recommend to always use the live-version (boot from a USB with tromjaro) to check everything before you install a new operating system. And you can also chek https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop to see if arch linux is compatible with your laptop.

About what I said in the video: It is true that people work for weapon manufacturers, at wall street or for a global corporation like Nestle that steals millions of litres of drinking water (http://tromland.org/searx/search?q=nestle stealing drinking water&categories=general&language=en), yet they might be nice people and care about their family and so on. You see, if we remove the incentive to work in those jobs by providing people what they need and want as trade-free, then they are not pushed to work in such jobs.

Because of all my life experiences, books I've read, videos I've watched and podcasts I've listened to, I realized that the structure of our world-wide society is trade. Like if you put our society into a pot, boil it for 2 hours, then trade is what you get. People trade their time, energy, skills etc. in a job to get money to then buy what they need and want. But that doesn't make sense if we consider all the technological capabilities and advancements in science that we made. I mean, we can build rockets, fly to the mars, build things like the Large Hadron Collider and we have all those amazing machines and robots that can automate pretty much all kind of boring, monotonous and dangerous work. Yet people are still forced to slave away in ridiculous jobs.

Plus, consider that we already have an abundance of stuff, like we have more homes than people can live in, more food than people can eat, more gadgets than people can use, however people have no access to that abundance, because they have nothing to trade for that.

Trade is the force that pushes people to create problems, because it creates that imbalance of power that I am talking about. Trade incentivizes people to push consumerism onto new heights, to lie, to steal, to cheat, to create bad products and so on. Trade is the Elephant in the Room that nobody is talking about. And that's why I'm talking about it and called this channel "The Elephant in the Room".

If you doubt that trade is such a problem, then I can only recommend you to read the book "The Origin of Most Problems" by TROM which explains this idea in detail: https://www.tromsite.com/books/#dflip-df_6562/1/

To make trade obsolete is the challenge of the 21st century, but I am eager to fight for that. I am furious and curious. Furious about our fucked up trade-based society, because I know that so many people struggle in this world and we're destroying the planet we're living on and I am curious about the world, because the world is more fascinating than any hollywood movie if you think about it. There are atoms, galaxies, black holes, neutrinos, quarks and all these amazing things that are real, but people have no clue about this fascinating reality that we're living in.

Like I said in the video, I will talk about these things. Talk about our fucked up society and about alternatives - trade-free goods & services. And like I also said, you can follow me on Friendica which is that super cool trade-free social network: https://social.trom.tf/profile/aaron/

This will be a never ending journey and I'm excited to see where it leads to 😃

The weapon manufacturies that are located at the lake of constance are listed here: https://web.archive.org/web/20201222142349/https://www.waffenvombodensee.com/firmen/ - there are like 20 companies or so. Some 7000 jobs, so you see - people are working on the wrong things. We don't need more weapons, we need more trade-free goods & services. These engineers should work on that!
