I find it fascinating that many cultures envision heaven as a place of peace and reward, reflecting a deep human hope for something beyond this life.

“Flushed with his impassioned gibberish, he saw himself standing alone on the last barrier of civilization.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

– Corine Pelluchon

Laws are often designed to enforce a certain way of life. For example, people can physically live in boats, RVs/caravans, tents, under trees, etc. But, in the US, one usually can't get a government ID, a bank account, a job, insurance, etc without a residential address.

"The speed with which people will disavow themselves tomorrow from what they do today will astonish you." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Just watch.

There will be countless people tomorrow who will say, "Well, I wasn't really a supporter." "I wasn't behind it." "I never really believed in all those ideas." "Ya, I always thought it was wrong."

They will suggest they are innocent. They were doubters all along. They had nothing to do with it.

That they would have spoken up except that....

The list goes on.

Tomorrow, they will try to bend the truth to whatever new reality they want to slide into.

Remember this post.

You'll watch it happen.

The speed with which people back away from their previously strongly held beliefs indicates that those beliefs were really nothing but temporary expediency.

This happens with innovation and leadership too. Think about it! Think about all the excuses, attitudes, and shifts in perspective when they disavow their previous stance as the future suddenly appears. 

Who are they?

People who aren't very good at innovation, but who are great at excuses.

Take a look around you.

You are surrounded by them.

People who are shallow in their belief system, narrow in their ethics, and quick
to disavow their past.

And in your mind, you know that their minds are often just simply empty vessels of expediency, where they will do and say and act with whatever repulsive idea, hateful belief or conspiracy-laden agenda that fits their shallowness.

Or whatever agenda-of-the-moment they can adopt, espouse, and support that fits into their belief system.

Just watch.

You know I'm right.

Today on my blog, the first of a series of posts thinking about Nudity and Society.

"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

17 Foolish #Beliefs in #Hinduism

For centuries, #rituals, #superstitions, and #dogmas have shaped daily life in India under the weight of #religious tradition. From #astrology and #reincarnation to cow #worship and #miracle claims, countless beliefs are repeated without question. In this video, we expose 17 of the most foolish and damaging beliefs in Hinduism — not to mock, but to reveal the cost of holding on to #illusions.

“I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”

― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"

"We should first examine how colonisation works to decivilise the coloniser, to literally dumb them down, to degrade them, to awaken them to buried instincts, to greed, to violence, to racial hatred, to ethical relativism."

Aimé Césaire in "Discours sur le colonialisme", 1950

'What distinguishes Wittig's theoretical, political and literary project, and makes it an unavoidable pole of intellectual attraction today, is its radical anti-essentialism. It's the radical anti-essentialism that Wittig applies to the most credible of beliefs, because of the strength of its naturalization: the idea that men and women are naturally complementary "natural groups".'

Sara Garbagnoli explained in 2023: https://www.moniquewittig.com/wp-content/uploads/Sara-in-AOC-english.pdf 🧶

Heterosexuality is a regime of political oppression 🧶

"Just as racism produces race and not the other way round, sexism produces sex through the relationship of domination that reduces the dominated to things or natural objects."
… said Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz summarizing Monique Wittig

"Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."
by Scott Campbell @susurros

“Peace, within an antiblack world, is a fallacy (much like freedom). The metaphysical infrastructure that supports the fiction of the white human is sustained by antiblack violence.”
by Calvin Warren, in Ontological Terror

"The experiment begun in 1492 was accompanied by a new relationship with the world and with each other, based on the novel idea that the prosperity of human societies lay in the submission of a wild and free nature to the rational act of exploitation. From then on, the entire living world was put to work, and in this first planetary empire, people, plants and animals became commodities circulating from one corner of the hemisphere to the other."

wrote Sylvie Laurent in her book "Capital et race : Histoire d'une hydre moderne"

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

The director of the institution, Pierre Silviet-Carricart, has been charged of the case of sexual assault. François Bayrou asked the investigating judge for a meeting at his place. The discussion was around the risks for the Bayrous' son, then a student at the boarding school. François Bayrou's wife attended the director's funeral in 2000.

At Parliament, on 11th February 2025, François Bayrou was representing the government for the weekly question-and-answer session. When asked about #Bétharram, he stated before the National Assembly that he had "never been informed of any violence, and even less of sexual violence".

François #Bayrou is the current Prime Minister of #France.

In 1996, violence was denounced in the elite catholic school of his constituency. He made an official visit as both the then Minister of National Education and a member of the National Assembly for a seat in Béarn (the province of the school). He told the regional press: "The people of Béarn felt these attacks with a sense of pain and a sense of injustice. […] All the checks were favourable and positive."

“For nearly a thousand years, communities on the Indian subcontinent had coexisted in a cultural melting where religious identity was less salient than ethnic or linguistic identity. “A hybrid Indo-Islamic civilization emerged,” according to the historian of India William Dalrymple. “In the nineteenth century, India was still a place where traditions, languages, and cultures cut across religious groupings, and where people did not define themselves primarily through their religious faith.” Much as communities had negotiated means of coexistence in pre-Mandate Palestine only to see them unravel during British rule, the subcontinent’s communal arrangements corroded when the full weight of Britain’s colonial state bore down on them. The Raj’s divide and rule policies produced a chemical-like reaction, shattering long-standing traditions of coexistence and interacting with local personalities who had their own ambitions, passions, and allegiances. It was another liberal experiment in empire gone horribly wrong, and on a scale so epic that once history’s chain of contingent events combusted, no one could contain it.”

Excerpt from Caroline Elkins' #book, "Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire"

'It is overwhelming for people to see and recognize the #genocide not only because it is reminiscent of the same forms of genocide we witnessed in Bosnia and Kosovo but also because the same tactics of dehumanization and mass murder are deployed in the ostensibly “defense” of “civilization” from “terrorism.” The destruction of people, lives, land, and cultural and religious sites are working out in the same way they did in the 1990s and their justifications are anchored in Islamophobic, racist, and colonial articulations of mass murder in the name of Western liberalism.'
