I recently found the following interesting and/or useful, and am posting them here in case anyone else does as well.
As an important first point:
“Why Conspiracy Talk About Jews is Dangerous: A Direct Warning” https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qeuuUpn5bdE This is a warning video that some have used Jeffrey E’s last name for antisemitism, and therefore, as I mentioned here, I have changed the name reference I will use from here on, and I may change past references - although I cannot change public article titles etc
- “What a Psychopath Really Is (Most People Get It Wrong)” https://youtu.be/DIb1HwVQoxU “Could your boss, your neighbor, or even your surgeon be a psychopath? The truth is, real psychopaths aren't always the serial killers we see in movies - they are often hiding in plain sight. The word “psychopathy” is thrown around a lot, but most people confuse it with sociopathy or narcissism. In this deep dive into human psychology, we break down the true meaning of psychopathy from a scientific perspective. We reveal the hidden signs of a psychopath, explore the mind of the “functional psychopath”, and explain why certain high-stress professions—like C-suite executives and surgeons - attract individuals with these dark personality traits. 🔍 In this educational psychology video, we explore: – What a psychopath actually is (and the hidden signs you shouldn’t ignore) – Psychopath vs. Sociopath: The critical differences explained – The Hare PCL-R Test: The gold standard checklist used by forensic psychiatrists – The “Functional Psychopath”: Why CEOs and surgeons rank highest on the psychopathy scale (based on Kevin Dutton’s research) – Inside the psychopathic brain: Genetics, neuroscience, and whether they can be held morally responsible.” The fundamental problem with amathiacs who think psychopathic traits have ANY place in management, is that they’re wrong! Servant leadership and stewardship of company resources is what is best
- “Medical Trauma Is Real (And It’s More Common Than You Think)” https://youtu.be/9Uijou2QXB8 “Medical PTSD is something thousands of chronically ill and disabled people experience but it’s rarely talked about. In this video, I explore what medical trauma is, why repeated healthcare experiences can lead to PTSD, and why the media rarely acknowledges it. We’ll discuss chronic illness experiences, trauma-informed care, and how healthcare systems can do better. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 05:02 What Is Medical PTSD? 11:14 Why Chronic Illness Makes Medical Trauma More Likely 20:28 The Hidden Trauma of Medical Systems 25:46 How Media Gets Medical Trauma Wrong 30:59 The Chronic Illness Community & Trauma Literacy 38:44 What Trauma-Informed Healthcare Looks Like”
- “More on Why You Chose to Incarnate During an Apocalypse” https://youtu.be/TETm6J8InuA
- “Evidence That Fog Is Alive and Not just Some Weather Phenomenon” https://youtu.be/OBzb-fHukgM Chapter titles include: “Fog ecosystem and unexpected findings; What is life doing inside? What’s inside then? What are they doing here? Implications and suggestions Conclusions from the study and implications for alien life What this means for life on Earth”
- “Talking about trauma doesn’t always help. Brain scans show one reason why” https://theconversation.com/talking-about-trauma-doesnt-always-help-brain-scans-show-one-reason-why-278794 “We found the reason some people don’t respond to treatment may lie in the way PTSD has restructured their brains.” While this research is probably valid, they could also try looking at neurodivergence, as many neurodivergent people find CBT etc doesn't work (it is worse than useless for me) - i.e., did those for who the cognitive therapy already have a brain that was wired differently?
- “The 10 Neurodivergent Superpowers You Have Right Now (And How to Use Them)” https://youtu.be/4ldgpQ9v43E This started with an excellent discussion to set the context, cautions, and limits
- “Why people with ADHD can’t sleep (and what actually helps) | Hyperfocus” https://youtu.be/-Lv7jmdqTUU This was VERY good - although I find CBT doesn’t work for me, possibly because of the autism part of the AuDHD
- “Scientists have scrapped the worst‑case climate scenario – because action is making a difference” https://theconversation.com/scientists-have-scrapped-the-worst-case-climate-scenario-because-action-is-making-a-difference-283675
- “Moving on: from normalised people to the politics of care” https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/05/31/moving-on-from-normalised-people-to-the-politics-of-care/ The commentary about Adolphe Quetelet, who “noticed that many human characteristics clustered around an average. Height did. Weight did. Physical measurements of all sorts did. Given enough observations, patterns emerged that could be described statistically”, but “What had begun as a statistical description gradually acquired social significance” - and the Wikipedia article includes “His work on measuring human characteristic to determine the ideal l'homme moyen (“the average man”), played a key role in the origins of eugenics”, is important: “The problem arose when averages ceased to be descriptive and became prescriptive. An average tells us what is common. It does not tell us what is desirable. Yet the distinction between those two ideas became increasingly blurred” The article continues on to show how this is related to the current generalised and problematic governance approaches (“what could be counted tended to become what mattered”), and how to change this.
- The second day of this week has seen a second outstanding political analysis/explanation article: “Getting Poorer in Silence” by Kos Samaras https://redbridgeintel.substack.com/p/getting-poorer-in-silence “For two decades the loudest voices in Australian politics have belonged to a certain group, not the people who simply earn a wage. ... There is also the plain matter of organisation. Property investors have peak bodies. Retirees have lobbies. Industries have associations with media budgets and a standing line to the press gallery. There is no peak body for the person on a salary. No one convenes a press conference on behalf of the registered nurse or the regional maintenance supervisor (except unions). Thomas Piketty gave this arrangement a name. In his long history of political cleavages he describes the modern Western party system as a contest between two elites. On one side, the Merchant Right, the party of business, wealth and the high-income professional. On the other, what he calls the Brahmin Left, the party of the educated, the credentialed, the culturally confident. The right speaks for capital. The left speaks for the diploma. Between them, the person who holds neither significant capital nor a degree-based identity is left without a home. The left looked away too”

This earlier article from the same source addressed this from a more historical context, although I consider the 2019 election more of a warning sign than the 2022:
- “The Death of the Brahmin Left - The Vegemite version in Victoria” https://redbridgeintel.substack.com/p/the-death-of-the-brahmin-left-the “... The question for progressive politics, in Britain, in the United States, in Australia, is not whether to acknowledge this rupture. That argument is over. The question is whether the parties that bear the left’s historic name, and the industries that serve them, can reconstruct a politics and a practice relevant to the twenty-first century, or whether they will continue refining the Brahmin project for an educated minority while the communities they once represented find their political expression elsewhere.”

Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our MÓ•gan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
