I'd like a miracle please. I'd like someone really wonderful (Francesca Albanese? Bernie Sanders?) to be made omnipotent for a goundhog day style eternity until everything's fixed.

The UN gets teeth and somehow also proportional representation for all citizens meaning Russia, the US the UK etc lose their veto powers.

Trump, Putin, NutterYahoo and several others find themselves on a chain gang with itching powder in their underwear.

Haiti gets the help it needs.

Ukraine & the now Putin-free Russia call it quits.

Israel has their weapons removed. Gaza gets rebuilt for Palestinians.

Yemen, Sudan, Myanmar etc. etc. sort their shit out.

Nuclear weapons turn into festering pizza.

Humans realise that we live in a time of plenty and wealth isn't measured in money nor is it something to be hoarded.

Maybe then I'll stop wandering around listlessly failing to get anything done.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 “Fatigue” (1930)

Purely ‘objective’ existence - if one wanted to postulate such a thing (/aberration) - would not be ultimately neutral as we are often led to believe, but rather ultimately ambivalent.

"Labour has gone to great lengths to make clear that nothing substantial will change."

"Centrist rule, typified by the incapability or unwillingness to take seriously the manifold crises humanity now faces, only increases the political dissatisfaction on which the far-right feeds. The […] Tories – or Reform itself – may well return renewed and worsened in 2029 when public frustration sees Labour’s exercise in political nothingness collapse."

In these troubling, confusing times, it could well behove us to embrace ambivalence, or "composite viewpoints" as someone called it in Mark O'Connell's documentary on the subject:

O'Connell also wrote Notes from an Apocalypse which may be of interest.

Hey #Mastodon
Do you ever struggle with making difficult decisions? It's common to feel ambivalent when weighing the pros and cons of an issue, and then feel dissonant after taking a stance that contradicts your self-relevant attitudes. We shed light on the interactions between these two types of conflict in our newest preprint by looking at meat consumption as a case example. Check out the preprint here: https://psyarxiv.com/5k9as/

Older people (over 55) were less prone to a certain type of #deliberation during #buying and #donation #decisions—even though they were more ambivalent (and #ambivalence correlated with more deliberation) and even when controlling for working #memory—than younger people (18-24). Total N = 120.
