Hospitals in Gaza have turned into tents and caravans. Sadly, they lack proper medical care and doctors, as many have been killed by Israel.
Our sick and wounded are left without help, and the suffering grows every day. 💔

@olivia It makes me especially sick that it happens in times, when we should discuss the legal #personhood of #nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_personhood and listen much more to ideas and thoughts of indigenous people about nature (including pebbles and rocks).
This is becoming increasingly important for survival. Instead, we grant empty algorithms more #life than living #ecosystems!

We should give Chimps the technology of 'bags' so they can carry their precious gems in. 👜
Humans will try to exploit this gem collecting behaviour, watch out for us 😔

Researchers Discover Chimpanzees Collect Crystals for Unexplained Reasons

Fascinating new behavioral research reveals that wild chimpanzees have developed a mysterious affinity for collecting and hoarding shiny crystals, blurring the evolutionary lines between human aesthetics and animal cognition.

A quotation from Wendell Berry

The folly at the root of this foolish economy began with the idea that a corporation should be regarded, legally, as “a person.” But the limitless destructiveness of this economy comes about precisely because a corporation is not a person. A corporation, essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance. Unlike a person, a corporation does not age. It does not arrive, as most persons finally do, at a realization of the shortness and smallness of human lives; it does not come to see the future as the lifetime of the children and grandchildren of anybody in particular.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

New blog post: "Person-Between"

In Japanese, human being (人間, ningen) literally means person-in-between. Watsuji Tetsuro built an entire ethics from this: beings are constituted by relational space, not individual consciousness.

Three continents, three traditions: ubuntu, buen vivir, ningen: all arriving at the same correction: the individual-first model isn't the default. It's one option. And maybe the wrong one.

Thinking about “civicmindedness”:
thinking and acting beyond your private life and work. Protesting, volunteering, participating in local politics, etc.

How some people have it and others don’t. How our whole Western individualist value system (more so now than even 30 years ago) works to erode it, but how important it actually is, in a deep, psychological way even. We are all part of communities and need to feel it.

(feeling local election U-turn! #GreenParty)

the dignity of man...because you matter Jan 28

The start of the journey…

The beginning of the journey started with the sudden realization that there was something amiss in our culture...and something needed to be done about it. This is the start of the small campaign to champion the dignity of every person.

Do you know a good #essay or #text discussing this discrepancy:

People refering to #animals or #plants with gender (she/he/they instead of 'it') or discussing #personhood of #nature (environmental personhood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_personhood ) are often accused of #anthropomorphism, while it seems completely normal for many to refer to #AI like a person. And #intelligence is quickly adopted for AI but not enough researched/seen in animals.
