I’ve come across some interesting reading/viewing of late, and thought I’d share that with you, Dear Reader: 

  • “The Price of Silence: What Self-Betrayal Does to the Brain”   https://substack.com/inbox/post/176648242   “How the nervous system keeps the score of unspoken truth, and why breaking silence is a biological act of courage”   by Vera Hart MD PhD - “US board-certified psychiatrist. Neuroscientist. Survivor. Truth-teller. I write about the anatomy of power—how systems groom, silence, and erase those who speak the truth. Writing under a pseudonym to protect my clinical work”   
  • And from the world of progressive economics,   “What will happen if economic growth has come to an end?”   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8UJ0AsqOfo   “For 50 years, Western politics has rested on a single promise: growth.   But what if that promise can no longer be kept?   In this video, I ask a question almost no politician dares to face: what happens to democracy when growth flatlines permanently? I explore stagnant wages, finance-driven “growth”, asset bubbles, pensions, public services, and the political risks of a collapsing economic myth.   If growth cannot return, we must change the purpose of the economy itself — or risk losing democracy along with it.”   All I can say is ... AT LAST! An economist agrees with me ...   



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.

 

If you appreciated this post, please share it. I am now on SubStack, Patreon,

Any and all support will be greatly appreciated, and will aid me in continuing this work 

 

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).
