This brief explores how care and support are distributed between siblings and friends, emphasizing that childcare tends to come more from family while everyday practical help is more often provided by friends.

The article highlights why social relationships matter in psychology, showing how kinship and friendship influence the allocation of different types of help, and how proximity and social closeness shape everyday support networks.

_Ethical responsibility_ 🧶

Incest is settled by a perverse disconnect between words and deeds.
According to Cécile Cée, ‘the situation does not depend on what the victim has to say about it, but on what society should say about it’ (p. 181). The act of naming is not:
* the result of interpersonal negotiation (to what extent may I call incest what the victim does not designate as such?),
* but rather a collective statement (‘It is up to society, to third parties, to you, to enunciate,’ p. 182), which alone can ‘put the world back the right way up’ (p. 227),
* then we move away from individual conscience and into the realm of social and political ethical responsibility.

We don’t #remember enough how #beautiful and #hopeful the #Soviet #space program was. It was deeply influenced by #cosmism, seeing the #universe as a #living, dynamic home with fundamental #kinship between all that exists. #Cosmonauts inspired billions of people to value #science and preserve the #Earth as a common good.
