Post No. 3,336 - my informal humanness and decency series culminating in “Post No. 3,334 - Legalistic human rights advocacy vs humanistic human rights advocacy”

I'm going to repost this list of posts in my current series of posts on ... well, humanness and decency? 

I feel like “Post No. 3,334 - Legalistic human rights advocacy vs humanistic human rights advocacy (~720 words, ~5 minutes)” is the last in this series, but the series is important enough that I don't want it getting lost.  

So ... here 'tis - and will be reposted a few times in the future:

This seems to be becoming a bit of a series, so here are this and the previous ... “episodes” (the starting point for the summaries are AI generated, but I have considerably rewritten those):  

• “Post No. 3,334 - Legalistic human rights advocacy vs humanistic human rights advocacy”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2025/11/post-no-3334-legalistic-human-rights.html   “One of the major benefits of anti-discrimination laws in Victoria in the late 1990s was that it significantly bolstered efforts to educate the public on transgender issues. While some believe that human rights outcomes are only valid through legal action, that sort of “legalistic” human rights advocacy actually, IMO, hinders accomplishing real, lasting, and effective social change, and makes backlashes of the types seen this century (and, arguably, at their most extreme in the USA) inevitable. “Humanistic” advocacy, which emphasises education and countering misinformation, addresses the long-standing and too often unacknowledged societal issues of patriarchal parenting, as well as promoting children’s rights to develop into their authentic selves - independent thinkers free from hate indoctrination, which should be achieved by prioritising education and empowerment of parents.”      

• “Post No. 3,333 - The problem of this world being cold hearted ... and a counter to that (~670 words, ~4 minutes)”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2025/11/post-no-3333-problem-of-this-world.html   “In addressing the cold-heartedness of contemporary society, I highlight the detrimental impact on individuals’ self-esteem, particularly those affected by CSA, SA, neurodivergence, and marginalised  identities. This societal rigidity can lead to significant health issues, aggravated by stress and the pressure to secure employment. Reflecting on my personal experiences, I revisit the Telepathy Tapes, which I initially perceived with scepticism owing to my fears of exploitative narratives around disability. However, as a result of listening to a recent interview, I now am satisfied the Telepathy Tapes are genuine investigations into nonphysical capabilities, although there are still some genuine disability concerns. This knowledge could help with the changes needed to combat the pervasive negativity of neoliberal ideologies - the nurturing of individual healing may provide a pathway to broader societal change.”      

• “Post No. 3,331 - Changes (~370 words, ~3 minutes)”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2025/11/post-no-3331-changes-370-words-3-minutes.html   “There is a critical need for political parties to genuinely address the concerns of young people regarding the climate crisis, inequality, and housing affordability, as highlighted by Kos Samaras's article on the decline of the post-World War II political framework. My view is that the current political establishment is failing and that more innovative electoral structures, like larger multi-member electorates, could better represent diverse voices. The impact of a toxic neoliberal culture on youth confidence and mental health is profound, necessitating a reevaluation of political responses and societal structures. As mainstream parties decline, new political entities will likely emerge - for better or for worse - to fill the void, reflecting the shifting dynamics of contemporary democracy.”      

• “Post No. 3,327 - Political survivability, or human survivability? (~340 words, ~ 2 minutes)”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2025/11/post-no-3327-political-survivability-or.html   “In this post, I write about concerns about political changes in Australia, focused on inequality driven by large corporations that prioritise financial decisions over social and environmental issues, and warn that future generations will hold the current older generation accountable for our inaction, particularly regarding food scarcity and climate change. Urgent legislative action is needed to allow corporate decision-making that considers the survival of the human species, countering the impending disaster scenario. I emphasise the dire consequences if these changes are not made, likening potential future crises to genocide, and urge politicians to choose the long-term survival of their children (and constituents) over short-term political gains.”      

• “Post No. 3,323 - A rant: the problem of incompetence at being human (~1,020 words; ~ 7 minutes)”   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2025/11/post-no-3323-rant-problem-of.html    “One major issue in industrialised societies is the pressure to justify one’s existence through constant busyness, which I criticise as a distortion of humanity linked to neochristianity and particularly Calvinism. This pressure, driven by ultra-rich neoliberals and patriarchal conditioning, creates an obligation to remain busy, often with trivial tasks. Additionally, the fear of being “different” leads to conformity and bigotry, especially regarding gender roles. Toxic alpha personalities, often in positions of power, perpetuate gender inequality and misogyny, including among women who emulate these traits. Addressing unmanaged unconscious bias is crucial for improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in workplaces, as current hiring practices often favour candidates who fit biased moulds. Political reforms are needed to ensure that leadership embodies accountability beyond wealth interests, including my call for bans on property ownership among MPs involved in housing debates, to restore balance between corporations and citizens.”

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).
