Post No. 2,815 - Some interesting reading/viewing

Here are some llinks that might of interest or value:

• “What I think good mental health is - AND IS NOT”   https://youtu.be/ffAKfCGCEv4?si=0hEV-BQDdyHGaqwc   Some excellent - and very important! - points in this      

• “Are you a giver or a taker? | Adam Grant”   https://youtu.be/YyXRYgjQXX0?si=flXABv0K3YKJxQk9   This is the best video on psychological aspects of working (and living) with other people - not only in business, as the presentation focuses on - that I have come across in many years      I may look for more talks by this presenter - such as   “The surprising habits of original thinkers | Adam Grant | TED”   https://youtu.be/fxbCHn6gE3U?si=FXghmDWTFo9IrDSA   which is very interesting (especially on browser choice/joke)      Those also led me to:   “Why do we celebrate incompetent leaders? | Martin Gutmann | TEDxBerlin”   https://youtu.be/DU06c7f9fzc?si=888jbGWWOHm6IVrY   “Management historian Martin Gutmann challenges us to rethink what great leadership looks like. While we tend to celebrate those with a proclivity for action and brash words, great leaders are often precisely those who don't need to generate excessive noise or activity”   We need to celebrate boring leaders as they are often better     

• “Cast Your Vote Like A Spell! 🗳️ Don't Miss Your Chance To Make A Difference”   https://youtu.be/sLxbbdJoe9o?si=VFzGvLetM750xeH8   Another excellent video from this excellent channel      

• “Experimental Evidence No One Expected! Is Human Consciousness Quantum After All?”   https://youtu.be/QXElfzVgg6M?si=6TS7ZRCJuXy7tQOu      

• “UFOs: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)”   https://youtu.be/zRdhoYqCAQg?si=fwSOHQ5G-1TdUoMS   Note: this is a comedian’s view, but it does include some good points and points that should be considered        

• “Why You Do Amazing, Then Fall Apart Sometimes”   https://youtu.be/rMZSeKEesVI?si=_Ne_VN990c5Rykrh   An interesting perspective - I’ll be considering the suggestions      

• “You Can’t Be Growing All The Time”   https://youtu.be/Bx8IX-6V-lM?si=sVbcAt7aqmrsQOEE   Excellent advice - which is often difficult to apply, but well worth trying to do so     

• this week’s video from the revised archetype character arc being developed here is:   “How to take a pilgrimage through the Underworld in the name of epic rebirth”   https://youtu.be/oKDihOSrEnQ?si=pPNQ1x642Bkyl6_x      “You have enormous, magical power. This is how to access it”   https://youtu.be/p7TYHqBzeMw?si=AXndkcTUDpgNojMC     
  

• this week’s “afterlife report” by the  Zammits:  
     https://www.victorzammit.com/June21st2024/  
  

• my recent posts on my political blog:  
• From the news on:     society generally, the climate crisis, environmental issues, and nuclear threats/issues,     human rights and humanitarian aid,     and     politics & democracy, and international affairs including the war in West Asia,   and there are some links in this candle;
  
  
• “Fear of difference / change”   https://politicalmusingsofkayleen.blogspot.com/2024/06/fear-of-difference-change.html      “Unfit for purpose senior business personnel”   https://politicalmusingsofkayleen.blogspot.com/2024/06/unfit-for-purpose-senior-business.html      “A new activism email addressing a transphobic article   [Note: Content Warning - links to reports on, and discussion of, bigotry/hate. Reader discretion is advised]”   https://politicalmusingsofkayleen.blogspot.com/2024/06/a-new-activism-email-addressing.html       “Comments by Dr Devon Price on aspects of activism”   https://politicalmusingsofkayleen.blogspot.com/2024/06/comments-by-dr-devon-price-on-aspects.html      “The human cost of bigotry   [Content Warning - discussion, and links to articles on, hate, bigotry, extreme violence]”   https://politicalmusingsofkayleen.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-human-cost-of-bigotry-content.html     
  
  
• also from YouTube:
  

• “Luke Redeems an Ancient Sith & Learns How to Save Vader (CANON)”   https://youtu.be/qAefhPvgco8?si=I9TJcIxRcoEY5jU1   Surprisingly, there are some points in here around attitudes and clearing that are well worth considering     
  
  
• from YouTube and elsewhere on neurodivergence: 
• “ADHD and Emotions”   https://youtube.com/shorts/3f3KqigPVwA?si=KzN4fDcaYY2qlotO   I wasn’t aware of this - and it is, IMO, too typical that the USA would get this so wrong (in the DSM) and then inflict their medical incompetence on the rest of the world      
  
  
• “Do You Stim Like This? Autism, ADHD & Stimming”   https://youtu.be/tX62J3hz-eQ?si=QNwHMatb0po5WcEu   A very useful outline and categorisation

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, 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).
