Noninterference by Harry Turtledove Book Cover (1987)
Interference/ Noninterference Distraction?
How do you control the distractions? Do you respond to every alert (the phone)? Do you constantly check your email (s)? Are you paying attention to others social media's more than your own? Who's every move are you watching? Are you keeping up with the Jones's how about the Kardashians? In order to control distractions you must avoid them. Know when to turn the phone off (do no disturb) and the T.V. Sometimes we must say no to those invitations as well as favors. We can not always make ourself available. The distraction most of the time prevents us from competing this mission or task at hand. Learn to say No, its ok even with no explanation. Control the distractions identify the source and sources and manage them properly.

This is a perfect example of non-interference and not to manipulate certain relationships. Because it is not something we can dictate.
Meddling with other people’s love affair is really not advisable as love fate ends will begin and end on their own 😇

Also I remember thinking of lefty stuff as “You get helped if you need it but you don’t get left the fuck alone” when I was younger
But nah the choice is between not getting left the fuck alone by the electric company and your boss, and having to spend a million hours on hold to connect to the cancellations department of your whatever service and having to navigate and endless hellish bureaucracy to get your last paycheck or not getting left the fuck alone because you’re a participating member of community where your interests are in common rather than opposed.
Being left alone to do absolutely your own thing is a privilege purchasable only by the very very well to do at the cost of a bunch of other people not getting space to be left the fuck alone at all.
Communism will require more direct, thoughtful participation from the average citizen, but it will also never require you to fax it copies of a year’s worth of water bills or ask you to wait on hold listening to a tinny version of Wind Beneath my Wings for three hours straight
It's also really hard to talk about certain things without it coming across as trying to tell other people what they're supposed to be thinking or doing. Or that you're judging them for not thinking/doing particular things. Especially when a hell of a lot of discussion about these topics does consist of that kind of controlling garbage. And when you're living in a society that treats this as a largely OK if not downright beneficial way to interact with other people. This can cause some obvious problems. Including, but not limited to, people developing shedloads of demand sensitivity and resistance. (Besides the obnoxious pattern of deciding what someone REALLY meant, and jumping down their throat.) I know I have some serious problems with demand sensitivity and resistance. Often in a "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" kind of way, yeah. :/ Sometimes that works OK, other times not so much.
