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.

There are "multifaceted reasons for our collective failure to bend the global emissions curve. However, a common thread that emerges across the reviewed literature is the central role of power, manifest in many forms, from a dogmatic political-economic hegemony and influential vested interests to narrow techno-economic mindsets and ideologies of control."

"Critical to historical and ongoing carbon lock-in has been the pervasive failure in industrial, modern societies to imagine desirable ways of living that are neither wedded to the carbon economy nor dependent on narratives of progress reliant on perpetual economic growth."
"With technocratic forms of modeling, cost-benefit analysis, and forecasting at the core of most governmental and industrial imaginaries, the future continues to be framed as open to exploitation."
"Typically, they transfer energy consumption from fossil fuels to other energy sources, are subject to political tropes (such as interpreting energy as a national security concern), and frame the future as a focus for cost-benefit analysis and rational decision-making."

Isak Stoddard, Kevin Anderson, Stuart Capstick, Wim Carton, Joanna Depledge, et al. (2021). "Three Decades of Climate Mitigation: Why Haven't We Bent the Global Emissions Curve?" https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-environ-012220-011104

"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

"Rather than believe the women he had collaborated with, and so be forced to revise his image of the respectable men in his midst, [Freud] chose to maintain that respectability by refusing the validity of his own observations."

'Hysteria was so common among women that if his patients’ stories were true, and if his theory were correct, [Freud] would be forced to conclude that what he called “perverted acts against children” were endemic, not only among the proletariat of Paris, where he had first studied hysteria, but also among the respectable bourgeois families of Vienna, where he had established his practice. This idea was simply unacceptable. It was beyond credibility.
'Faced with this dilemma, Freud stopped listening to his female patients.'

Judith Herman cited by Mandy Brown @aworkinglibrary: https://aworkinglibrary.com/reading/trauma-and-recovery 🧶

"If we stop idealising the maternal role or trivialising the assaults committed by women, it seems that incestuous mothers who abuse their young children actually represent a significant proportion of incest perpetrators. Monique Tardif and Bernadette Lamoureux mention various considerations that would protect our individual and collective conception of the maternal function. They mention both the resistance to recognising sexual manifestations emanating from women and their aggressive behaviours. Caregiving and nurturing affect the discernment capacity of both victims and their loved ones who face subtle or masked abusive behaviours."

p. 73 of "Le berceau des dominations", par Dorothée Dussy

Sometimes the right art is less about matching a room and more about choosing a message that keeps folks who use the room motivated.

Wieland Hoban explains #philosemitism in Germany:
"It’s very difficult to have a general sense of Jews as ordinary people who are part of the country’s population. Many people have an image frozen in time of Jews as the victims of the Nazis, who were the parents or grandparents of many Germans.

"In some cases, this leads to an over-compensation which means that people want to have a particularly favourable idea of Jews. They make a point of doing what they think is supporting Jews. Including supporting Israel, going on holiday in Israel, or cultivating connections to Israel thinking this somehow revives Jewishness."

"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."

‘It is not a Sunday in the countryside that we need, but a less artificial life.’
—Bernard Charbonneau, in « Le sentiment de la nature, une force révolutionnaire », 1937

It is our disconnection from nature that gives rise to the feeling that we lack something, that an essential part of our existence is missing.

"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."

'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."

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."
by Abdaljawad Omar, in “The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justice,” 2024, https://mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-icc-warrants-palestinian-skepticism-and-the-glimpse-of-justice/

"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)

🧶 …

In pharmacology, an #antidepressant refers to a fairly diverse set of molecules that do not have the same modes of action, the same therapeutic effects or the same undesirable effects.

A common goal: to target monoamines, neuromodulators

Generally speaking, these are molecules that target what are called #neurotransmitters, including serotonin, noradrenaline or dopamine. When a neurotransmitter attaches to receptors in one neuron, it transmits an electrical message that can be transmitted to another neuron. It's kind of like a relay race. There are over 20 different types of synapses, each of which conveys specific messages and are involved in this brain activity differently."

📚🎉 The #OA book '#Misunderstandings: False Beliefs in #Communication' by Georg Weizsäcker is NOW AVAILABLE!

Dive into the world of #conversations, #beliefs, successful #communication, and #misunderstandings!

What do we expect when we say something to someone, and what do they expect when they hear it? When is a conversation successful?

The book considers a wide set of two-person #conversations, and a bit of #gametheory, to show how conversational statements and their interpretations are governed by #beliefs.

Thinking about #beliefs is suitable for #communicationanalysis because beliefs are well-defined and measurable, allowing to differentiate between successful #understandings and their less successful counterparts: #misunderstandings.

The book describes the theoretical framework and empirical measurements of #misunderstandings – written by an #economist, but in simple words and using interdisciplinary concepts.
