Are current governance settings designed for SUSTAINABLE WAYS of LIVING?
NO!
Instead, many people believe that we live to max financial assets in BAU.
Looks like Limits to Growth BAU scenarios, proposed in 1972, are now happening, with the escalating collapse of current BAU governance arrangements.
We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesn’t want, without a clear purpose or endgame.

In this episode, Nate speaks with primatologist and author @christinewebb.bsky.social about human exceptionalism – the deeply embedded belief that humans are separate from and superior to the rest of nature.

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
"The COVID-19 pandemic at 6 years: Mass death, debilitation and media silence"
"The pandemic has killed over 30 million people worldwide, left more than 400 million suffering from Long COVID... It is one of the most catastrophic events in modern history—and it is not over."
Australia’s security and defence leaders take out an ad: climate change is the biggest threat to our national and economic security. 👇👀✅ aslcg.org
We're thrilled to release the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! This is a collaboration with @rthm.bsky.social to help patients & providers explore treatment options together.

I’m sure the only impact of the fine will be to make it harder for St Basil’s to afford staff training. Meanwhile, the boneheads in the Commonwealth Department of Health who failed to advise St Basil’s that COVID is an airborne disease have not been investigated.
The NACC has let Robodebt's architects off the hook, while Labor's dubiously legal welfare compliance regime continues to demean, punish and harm thousands.
Robodebt is not an artifact of history. It's a living warning to a Labor government that refuses to listen.
Memories! 😅🍻
The architects of Robodebt are still sitting pretty.
The NACC has made two findings of corruption, but those who should shoulder the blame for one of the biggest scandals in Australian history remain unscathed.
Cold comfort to the thousands of people whose lives were destroyed.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Robodebt was the worst failure of public administration in Australian history. It raised est. $1.73 bn of illegitimate debts from over 430,000 vulnerable Australians and plunged thousands of families into distress and grief. And still no real consequences.

But no mention of integrative epistemic pluralisms:
knowledge is in the mode of the knower,
from ego-centric opportunist, to group-centric conformist, to socio-centric knowing about knowing in experts-achievers, to world-centric collaborators, to kosmos-centric unity.
WATCH. You’ve never seen anything like this:
In the aftermath of the Federal Election last year, I made the decision to join the ALP. After all, I had been volunteering to help women candidates during the last few elections.
I was willing to turn up to branch meetings, be a part of things.
But it wasn't that easy. (1/ )

“In the end, this isn’t simply a film about protest. It is about the stubborn human impulse to fight for a livable future. It is also about the odd mix of defiance, humor, and sheer determination it takes to do it.”
Corporate media of all stripes have rushed to support the U.S./Israeli attack on Iran, throwing objectivity and accuracy by the wayside in order to manufacture consent for regime change.

This is an excellent, brief video compilation highlighting the fact that a COVID pandemic was not inevitable.
It was preventable, allowed only by the arrogant incompetence of medical infection control leaders who saw outsiders as rivals for *their* turf.

Have you seen this paper?
Tell me the character in your seeing (who is seeing? epistemic view), the method of your seeing (how seeing is being done? methodology), and what you are looking for (what is being seen? ontology).
Too many prejudices!
Problem remains unsolvable!
Varieties of nonduality?
