# Support Me

{% hint style="success" %}
You can support me financially by donating & by buying my digital products, and by spreading my information.
{% endhint %}

My work is focussed on research & development for the ecosystem, life, and the planet overall, and also on privacy, security, safe communication channels, and infrastructure allowing each & all of us to retain freedom and defend the planet & communities in the present & the future.

**None of my work is written using LLMs ("AI")&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**and it never shall be**</mark>**.**

*For now, I am working alone, but I'm looking to work with other aspiring scientists and to build a community of researchers who are not funded by corporate or politically-aligned interests. Please reach out if you want to use your free time for saving the world instead of scrolling the shitternet.*&#x20;

## Send me money

Send me money to support me financially in the work I'm doing for the planetary ecosystem.

I'm also doing other things, like writing educational materials for students learning English, but unfortunately my methods do not align with the popularist mainstream education system so most students do not feel comfortable risking spending money on methods that they don't know about. The country & culture that I'm living in is very "normalised", in that most of them like to follow the mainstream and do what is normal, typical and expected. I have solutions for them in English education but the only way I can disseminate it is to give it away for free.

## Spread my information

**My information is not&#x20;*****mine*****; it is in my mind & through my fingers, but it belongs to us all.**

Only recently, I started writing all my information online. I've been posting on social media a lot but, if you've noticed, a) it is all algorithmised and moderated/policed by robots, and b) it is inherently unsortable and unsearchable, you cannot create any order, categorisation, hierarchy or othersuch system of organising your information. Posts are chronological (or not!) and that's it.

I started imagining how to organise all my ideas, projects, plans, portfolio, research, etc, and I came to the conclusion that I was looking for a wiki website platform.

I couldn't find something that easily matched my requirements & desires, but a friend pointed me in the direction of GitBook and, well, here we are.&#x20;

I've verily & absolutely accidentally built an entire battalion of websites with sub-sites and pages and sub-pages galore! Check the [Multi-site Map](/personal/multi-site-map.md) section to see all the sites.&#x20;

Aside from my portfolio, which is indeed to sell myself and my skills and get more side hustles and main hustles, ***this information is specifically for your benefit.***

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://farran.gitbook.io/personal/support-me.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
