“We’re out of touch with our emotional life, our heart, our sense of what is good. Our civilization’s picture of “success” tends to produce wealth alongside exhaustion and sickness. That’s misalignment. We have technical and political problems, yes, but the root will not be reached with a new engineering trick or policy proposal. At the risk of sounding trite: we are in obvious need of a shift in consciousness, a shift of attention away from ideas that are killing us and the earth toward ideas more conducive to flourishing.”
—Matthew Segall, The Question of Now

Solidarity seems like a noble goal, but it's specious at best. When rallying for a cause, we want solidarity – for others to join – but what if we are among the others? #Solidarity comes at the expense of self – fine if you are already committed. Otherwise, not so much.

Praise Christ for this opportunity ♲ @692c6feb28a0bd93d67cc19840bb07bfe678f97bf15930b5d812676b4cd512ef Got to record Bible stories in languages that don't have written Scriptures yet. As part of an Oral Bible Storying workshop, people from various languages came together to memorize key stories of the Bible in a storytelling format. This makes God's Word accessible for languages without a written Bible. In this photo, speakers of Namakura, a language from islands northeast of Efate Island, recited portions of Abraham's story. I recorded their stories so they could have a digital copy of their work. Now, speakers of these languages will be able to hear and know of God's gracious kindness to Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, and us. #vanuatu #efate #language #translation #bibletranslation #biblestorying #bible #flourishing

Yanis Varoufakis on a socialist interpretation of human flourishing

This is the clearest account I’ve ever heard of what gets talked about as the eudaimonic society. A good life involves the creative realisation of our latent talents. A good society is one which systematically enables the realisation of those latent talents. In this sense individual flourishing and the flourishing of society go hand-in-hand.
