The article discusses how personal values shift with age, revealing meaningful patterns when examined at a fine-grained level and showing that specific values can better predict age than broader categories. It highlights that nuanced values may move in complex and sometimes opposing directions as people grow older.

This topic appeals to psychology enthusiasts because it illustrates the dynamic nature of values across the lifespan and demonstrates how detailed measurement can uncover patterns that broad categories miss.

Can #ecosystems ‘malfunction’?

We are told the natural #world is ‘breaking down’. But #forests don’t work like aeroplanes or #human hearts

"...When we say an #ecosystem is “breaking down”, we risk disguising our own #values as properties of the world. That move can be rhetorically effective, but it is conceptually misleading..."

Frances Toni Draper: "Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and informed enslaved Black Americans they were free — more than two years after Pres. Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But Juneteenth is not simply a celebration of delayed freedom. It is also a reminder of delayed justice, and whose suffering receives urgency, sympathy, and political attention."

But it’s a symptom of a collapse in #values & #norms that, unless confronted & reversed, may herald the end of the #American #experiment. We should heed the words of the #Stoic #philosopher #Seneca about the rise & fall of the #Roman #Republic: 'Increases are of sluggish #growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.'"

Today, Elon Musk became a trillionaire.

Jason Kander wrote: "It is really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion dollars to organizations that are working to make the world a better place."

Use every argument, @anatosaurus.bsky.social, that can convince voters to vote for Democrats. Talking about corruption denounces some terrible things that Trump and other Republicans are doing, it shows a difference between Democrats and the corrupt Republican Party, and talking about what is harmful about Trump's corruption helps Democrats win elections.
