Gods SOS, and Other Reddit threads

[Morningstar88]

Good question OP. I had a dream where I was walking in Canggu the other week...

... in my dream I saw, in the scattered ruins of a mask factory, the following note scrawled on paper... can anyone decipher it?:

* Dear God Kings of Bali...

For those that have eyes and ears... this is Daozen, AKA Jack Maclavity of AMC, AKA Stephen Goodheart's prize piglet.

Not 3 days ago, I posted on this very sub about how version control sites, and the Github API, could be used to manage Bali's increasing traffic and land management problems. I was getting ready to build a free, forkable open source system that could be used throughout the island, on a grassroots level, irrespective of help from governments.

The thread was taken down within 5 minutes.

So, I will still assist, but if you conspire to actively block solutions, maybe you deserve what you get?

This is a casual SOS to the semidemi-Gods of Bali. Assist or ignore as you wish, else I shall help in See Em Reap, where I am treated better...

Regards,

Daozen, Flying Putz of Penestanan

Can anyone figure out what the note in my dream was about? Who is this pompous, hubristic fool Daozen? And who is the mysterious Stephen Goedhart?

When the rain comes in Asia, you batten down the hatches, cover up vulnerable cracks with plastic, and dehumidify as best you can. Wind and Rain are natural forces that cannot be avoided. People in Bali talk about tourism as if it's a natural, unstoppable force. It isn't. Most tourists to Bali come from Ngurah Rai airport. The stream of irresponsible can be attenuated and slowed. Please no complaining about money and corruption. That is taken as a baseline assumption throughout the planet. What policies would you implement at Ngurah Rai, if they listened? Bali has dealt with

It isn't.

Most tourists to Bali come from Ngurah Rai airport. The stream of irresponsible can be attenuated and slowed. Tourists have seen what their presence has done... they are likely to listen. Please no complaining about money and corruption. These are taken as a baseline assumption throughout the planet. What policies would you implement at Ngurah Rai, if they listened?

• Encourage tourists to use minibuses, if possible. Lay on more high quality open air buses. Let the private sector step in. Give them permission to operate at the airport and encourage more buses in the media.

• I read on one travel forum that they don't allow tourists to buy bus passes at the airport, and they even have a security guard blocking people from buying them. If this is true, then local management are 100% complicit in the situation.

• Write a sheet for tourists asking them to adhere to a few practices. Take buses as much as possible, avoid too much travel on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, drive at certain times, and more.

If only 30-50% of people respected those rules, we'd see better traffic. What other rules would you make?
