"Laughter is, after all, the sound of social rigidity cracking under the pressure of human nature. [...] What elite culture has often dismissed as frivolous media content – easy laughter, excessive emotionality – has played an important role in the democratisation of emotions in general, and laughter in particular, in the past century."

Second Thoughts from an Ex-Feminist

…Fiamengo knows that a crucial element in feminism’s success has been the strong natural bias in favor of women that characterizes both sexes: a synergy between female in-group preference and the male protective instinct. There has been some objective research on this timeless phenomenon. In 1994, for example, psychologists Alice Eagly and Antonio Mladinic reported that both male and female research subjects were more likely to ascribe positive traits to women than to men, with the bias measurably stronger in women; they christened this the “women-are-wonderful” effect. Later studies found women’s in-group bias four and a half times stronger than men’s. In 2019 British psychologists Martin Seager and John Barry developed the concept of “Gamma bias” to describe “unconscious prejudice against men and boys,” as observed in the tendency of both men and women to sympathize more with women than men.

Such studies are valuable, but as with much of social psychology, they merely confirm something that has always been widely known: men are expected to put the needs of women and children first. As Fiamengo points out, feminists could never have achieved the success they have if men were remotely similar to the selfish brutes they depict. Even half a century of feminist fury has been unable to do away with men’s natural bias in women’s favor.

The other side of male bias in women’s favor is what the author calls “the empathy gap”—the often-shocking inability or unwillingness of many women to empathize with male suffering.

…feminism shares the Marxist mental gestalt whereby society is envisaged in terms of conflicting innocent and guilty groups. As Fiamengo observes, this leaves feminism unable to affirm any universal principles of justice: “it is incapable of extending empathy to whose it has been taught to see as oppressors” or “of demanding accountability from those it has been taught to see as victims.” Because of this inability, “one of feminism’s biggest lies has been its declared aim to overthrow traditional Western gender arrangements in order to liberate men as well as women into an equal partnership.”

Good short read. I have provided just a couple of excerpts above. Women who do not or did not fall for the bs are marvelous beings, worthy of adoration. The opposite type—man-haters—should be avoided at all costs. That there are still so many of that type around is testament to the deep fuckedupedness of this human realm. Young men and boys — avoid girls and women who demean you more than a once or twice; your deep instincts will twinge hard. Just quietly move away because you cannot fix them and there is no benefit to pissing them off. That’s good advice from me. ABN

Must Watch: U.S. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer -vs- Canadian State Controlled Media Rosemary Barton

This is a must watch interview.  Most Americans have no idea that Canadian media is controlled by the Canadian government; it’s what they call “cultural protection” where the rules and regulations of permissible speech are controlled by govt regulators and media are subsidized by govt.  The overall objective is to control information and censor viewpoints that might be averse to the interests of the Canadian govt. That’s why most Canadians have no concept of granular details on policy matters; they just don’t get the information.

In this interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), U.S Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is discussing the trade conflict and breakdown with Canada’s version of Baghdad Bob, Rosemary Barton.  I’m a little surprised the CBC would even entertain the discussion. However, as noted in the past few days there is increasing skepticism amid Canadians about who and what actually blew up the trade talks. Canadians are starting to show signs of suspicion; enter Ms. Barton on behalf of the Canadian government to try and control things.

USTR Jamieson Greer answers the questions in a most unfortunate manner; meaning, he told the truth.  Greer outlined exactly why he suspects the trade talks broke down, and it has nothing to do with economics or trade, it’s all politics on the Canadian side.  As Greer noted, there was no change to the trade agreement between President Trump and Prime Minister Carney’s lengthy phone call on Tuesday, and the Canadian decision to walk away on Friday.  Greer was being very diplomatic, but Barton started getting the vapors. WATCH:

A recent study shows significant increase of the heating rate of the abyssal ocean

A Johnson study released just a couple weeks ago:

“We find a statistically significant increase of the heating rate of the abyssal (4,000–6,000 dbar) ocean, from 5.4 (±4.9) TW [Terawatts] in 1988 to 20.2 (±3.9) TW in 2018. In contrast, we find no statistically significant change in the heating rate of the deep ocean, estimated at 29.4 (±22.1) TW in 1988 and 25.0 (±17.5) TW in 2018.”

I was groomed and brutalised by Muslim men from the age of 14 while in children’s homes in East London — Lydia

I had no education.

At 16 I was taken into the Islamic world.

By my early 20s I was trafficked to Saudi Arabia where I survived alone in the desert for 2 years.

I was kept behind closed doors for many years after that, cut off from people I knew and any time I tried to speak out and beg for help they told people I was mentally ill or “possessed” by evil spirits.

In that darkness, my only companion was the Lord, my only solace was my books.

But I was discouraged from reading or thinking for myself.

So I spent many nights sitting up studying with a small lamp for light hoping nobody would wake and find me.

Studying history saved my life.

It opened up my whole world.

I realised that everything I’d been told from such a young age about being White and English, was a lie.

The realisation of what had happened to me finally began to unravel in my mind.

Unimaginable pain.

Grief for a life that could have been…

Although long dead, the stories of our ancestors gave me the strength and courage to fight on, and finally escape.

You see, my heroes never stopped fighting, even when the odds were so greatly stacked against them.

They did not run.

They did not cower.

They had courage.

They stood tall.

No matter what lies on the road ahead of us, we must all do the same.

As they inspired me, let them inspire you too.

England and the survival of our people depend on it.

Birutė – one of the most mysterious women in 14th-century Lithuania

The wife of Kęstutis and mother of Vytautas the Great, her story is intertwined with legend. According to tradition, she was a vaidilutė – a keeper of the sacred pagan fire in Palanga – until Kęstutis took her to Trakai and married her.

According to tradition, Birutė was laid to rest in Palanga. Today, Birutė Hill – one of Lithuania’s most iconic sacred sites – still bears her name and keeps her memory alive.

At the end of all of this effort is the EU/NATO goal of a fully operational war against Russia

No reasonable person in the EU wants this outcome, no ordinary citizen in the U.K wants war with Russia and only a tiny percentage of Americans would support it.

However, 80% of the British/EU political class and around 75% of the Washington DC political class would immediately welcome this outcome.

Europe is burning through their spending of the confiscated €300 billion Russian sovereign wealth fund. The money will be completely gone within a year as it is the funding mechanism for almost all Ukraine support.

When you think about this in very practical terms, this makes the EU war against Russia a foregone conclusion.

In my opinion, the decision to spend that confiscated Russian asset wealth is what changed in early June when Zelenskyy visited King Charles in London. What was once avoidable is now ultimately only a matter of time.

Unless someone is willing to step into the finance side and repay Russia, a western conflict with the Russian Federation to avoid the issue seems to be the overwhelming likelihood.

In the interim, Eastern Ukraine remains a meat grinder.

Ambiguity in speech is the source of way too much psychology

Genes aside, I believe ambiguity in speech and its consequent cascades of error are at the root of virtually all human psychology, both good and bad.

And this goes back in time as far as we can imagine because the problem of ambiguity in speech was there for your parents, your grandparents, and everyone else who came before you. And the same is true for everyone else in the world.

All cultures everywhere are both burdened and determined by this problem.

(The only exceptions are specialist “cultures” that make a point of removing error from their communication systems, such as mathematics, hard sciences, engineering, some branches of linguistics, etc. The people in these cultures only avoid the problem while working or speaking within their specialist culture. When at home or off the job, their psychologies are the same as the rest of us. In fact, smart as many of those people are, I bet few of them have ever considered how inaccurate their common speech is or how error-ridden their listening is, to say nothing of how profoundly that messes up their psychologies.)

Ambiguity in speech comes from inaccurate words and phrases, our strong tendencies to want to keep the wrong parts of speaking too short, our fear of open, truthful speech, our hyper-focus on wording and typical refusal to allow people to take back or alter their words or our inability to see the need for that, our strong tendency to believe we know what others mean, our constant need to grab meaning on the fly, or extract it from gestures or tone of voice, the brevity of most speech acts, our fear of being wrong or saying the wrong thing (legitimate fears given the foregoing), our practical incapacity to describe our own subjectivity or even know it, our inability to get other people’s subjectivity from them because they also suck at this.

When ambiguity flourishes, meanings are imagined. Guesswork replaces knowing. In response, everyone’s psychology become confused, confusing or rigid. We act roles rather than life.

How can we claim to know anything about human psychology without acknowledging that almost anything with psychological import that anyone ever says to anyone is sure to be riddled with error and ambiguity?

And even when it’s not: 1) it’s very hard to know when that is and 2) the event is so rare it’s like a bird that stops flapping its wings and falls to the ground.

Sex criminals will be caned under proposals voted on in Taiwan referendum

Criminals convicted of sex crimes and fraud will be caned under proposals voted on in a referendum in Taiwan.   

Taiwan‘s opposition-controlled parliament voted on Friday to hold three controversial referendums, including one on caning those guilty of sex crimes and fraud, and another to revive nuclear power, which could be held later this year.

Referendums are held every few years in the nation, most often after citizens collect the required number of signatures to back a proposal. 

Lawmakers can also initiate them, however, as was the case with the three measures voted on this week.

After Advocating for Illegal Alien Leniency and Amnesty, Mike Lindell Gets Crushed in Minnesota Primary

Hopefully this will be a lesson to multiple people, including President Donald Trump.  There is no room for softness on the topic of deporting illegal aliens.

In one of the biggest examples of a mistake in Republican campaigning, three weeks before the primary election Minnesota Governor candidate Mike Lindell made the fatal mistake of advocating for greater leniency for illegal aliens, with implied amnesty in his immigration platform.  The backlash was fierce, righteous and directly targeted.  Lindell was blasted.

Last night, despite the support and endorsement from President Trump, Lindell was resoundingly defeated by Lisa Demuth, the speaker of the Minnesota House.

DENMARK: Violent crime rate by country of origin

What Caused the Post-WW2 Decline of Urban America? Part 2 – Dropping the Hammer

The Shelley’s home in St. Louis was ground zero for the 1948 ruling that struck down neighborhood Freedom of Association. That year, a weaponized Supreme Court invented a “right” of forced entry that a more sober and diverse Supreme Court had unanimously rejected in 1926. Urban chaos exploded when the Court got it wrong.

As detailed in Part 1, dozens of major U.S. cities experienced a cooling of growth in the 1930s and then suffered huge losses after WW2, reversing over a century of previous expansion and prosperity. Two big factors in that decline were the unprecedented federal assaults on the historical work/save/invest ethic via nationalizing home mortgages (instant bank credit) in the 1930s and the 1935 nationalization of unions triggering the downfall of urban manufacturing that froze millions of middle-class jobs.

A third and more devastating federal action was inventing the “right” of forced entry by blacks (or anyone else) into previously peaceful English, German, Irish, Polish, Italian and other diverse ethnic communities. This final act of reckless social engineering permanently chased away millions of established urban residents and replaced them with a new class of predominantly poor, rural, uneducated people who often had little or no experience with the rigors of owning and maintaining property.

The federal imposition that chased people out of stable urban communities was the Supreme Court’s 1948 Shelley vs. Kraemer decision that abolished Freedom of Association in American neighborhoods.

This radical decision reversed the 1926 Corrigan vs. Buckley ruling that had unanimously protected those community rights in a very similar case. Unfortunately, both rulings have been largely forgotten in today’s climate of extreme aversion to anything branded “racism.” That reflexive avoidance has left enormous gaps in the public record.

Japanese population falls below 120m for first time in 42 years

TOKYO (Kyodo) — The number of Japanese nationals fell below 120 million for the first time in 42 years to 119,736,483 at the start of this year, the government said Wednesday, underscoring the challenges faced by a nation battling declining birth rates.

The figure as of Jan. 1 showed a drop of 917,000 people from a year earlier, the largest fall since comparable data became available in 1968, according to data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

The number of foreign residents, meanwhile, rose 354,000 to a record 4,031,159. The ministry began compiling relevant data in 2013.

Despite government efforts to reverse the declining birth trend, the country recorded around 670,000 births, a record low, compared with around 1.59 million deaths.

Anti-Progesterone Linked to Chemical Abortion Pill Found in Water Supply of Three Cities

A peer reviewed study found “significant amounts” of mifepristone, an anti-progesterone component of the chemical abortion pill, in the water supply of Austin, Texas, Blacksburg, Virginia and Carbondale, Illinois. Through various tests, the study found that typical water treatment methods were not effective in removing the endocrine disrupting component of mifepristone. The contamination could have serious effects on fertility, fetal development, and pregnancy. 

Low dose mifepristone use over time has been found to suppress ovulation and menstruation, and in some cases stop menstruation altogether. Mifepristone’s anti-progesterone effects can cancel out progesterone dosages that women may take for various health reasons, according to the study. The study also says that “low progesterone levels in women have been associated with multiple health problems including lower fertility rates, higher rates of miscarriage, and higher rates of other medical complications during pregnancy.”

Judaism’s Code of Silence

Judaism possesses a concept that bears striking functional similarities to the Italian Mafia’s omertà, the well-known code of silence that forbids informing on fellow members. Omertà is a code of silence and refusal to cooperate with legal authorities that forms a central pillar of southern Italian organized crime, enforced by intimidation, fear, and dishonor.

While omertà protects criminal enterprises, the Jewish concept of mesirah (Hebrew for “handing over”) arose from a different historical necessity: protecting Jewish minorities from gentile authorities. Mesirah prohibits Jews from reporting fellow Jews to non-Jewish authorities, creating a parallel system of internal loyalty and silence that has operated within Jewish communities for millennia.

According to traditional Jewish law, mesirah is the forbidden action of one Jew reporting the conduct of another Jew to non-rabbinic authorities in circumstances prohibited by Jewish law. This prohibition extends to both turning over a person and their property. The prohibition covers both the person and the property, a point the Shulchan Aruch makes in Choshen Mishpat 388 when it forbids handing over a fellow Jew “be it his person or his money.” A Jew who violates it is a moser, an informer, and the historical consequences were severe. Medieval Jewish tribunals in Spain sometimes branded informers or, for repeat offenders, put them to death, and in 19th century Russia a moser was occasionally found drowned in a river.

The prohibition of mesirah runs deep in Jewish law, set down in the Babylonian Talmud and sharpened by medieval codifiers.

U.S. Military Begins Process of Handing Ukraine Military Assistance Lead to Europe

The Security Assistance Group (SAG) is a unit of NATO command operated in Germany that specifically focuses on the military training and development in support of Ukraine.  The U.S. is transitioning out of SAG leadership and handing the responsibility to Europe or Canada.

EUROPE – Another NATO member will eventually take over running the Security Assistance Group, according to a U.S official and three people familiar with the plan, which has played a central role in equipping and training Ukrainian troops since the full-scale Russian invasion began. But the removal of U.S. leadership from a pivotal program on the continent reinforces the extent to which America is distancing itself from European partners.

The move will mean the U.S. no longer helps shape what Ukraine’s future military will look like. It follows a swath of changes the Trump administration has made to the decades-old alliance. The Pentagon has reduced the number of American officers running commands in Europe and canceled some rotations. Officials are reassessing troops stationed on the continent and warning countries they won’t receive assistance unless their defense spending increases.

“A European or Canadian officer taking command … would be yet another example of allies taking on greater responsibility,” said a NATO official, who like others, was granted anonymity to discuss the unannounced plan.

The transition of leadership will take up to a year, the people said, but insisted it won’t interrupt the work done with Ukraine. While NATO will lead the program, the U.S. European Command will stay involved through an American deputy. (read more)

NATO advocates are framing the transition as an example of the USA abdicating military leadership to European counterparts who support Ukraine.  However, the role of the USA in the Strategic Assistance Group was always supposed to be temporary, with Europe ultimately taking responsibility.

[…] Still, some in Kyiv are worried that putting the command within NATO’s complex bureaucracy might slow down getting assistance to the frontlines, the official said. “No one can replace American satellite reconnaissance, target designation and logistics capabilities of U.S. heavy transport aircraft.”

But the Trump administration is pressing ahead.

Speaking to NATO defense ministers in Brussels last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said U.S. allies “must step up.”

Trump “has been very clear on this point for many years,” Hegseth continued, “and over two administrations, and for too long, NATO has been a paper tiger and a one-way street. No more.” (more)

Posted in full with permission from the author. I hope this does not turn into an (infiltrated) NATO scheme to engage Russia in WW3, which either sucks USA into the war or allows USA to safely watch Russia and Europe destroy themselves. There is an old Chinese, and I believe Jewish Supremacist, fantasy of somehow goading Europe, Russia and USA into annihilating each other in a nuclear war; thus rendering the world ripe for China and Jewish Supremacists to dominate all that remains of it. I hope USA presently pulling out of its SAG leadership role is not that. Only a fool does not recognize the deep infiltration of JS into all things USA. One possibility is USA will be spared because so many JS live here and we already are 100% under their thumb. Another possibility is their top people will abscond from USA until after the annihilation is done. None of this is certain but all of it is worth keeping in mind. We live in a world ruled by elites and therefore must do our best to understand what they really want and how they are scheming to get it. Another point worth mentioning is we can reasonably see an elite alignment between China and Israel in this and in other matters, particularly their apparent nefarious cooperation during the covid scamdemic.

This is a classic Plains Indian burial scaffold — a raised platform of poles built so the dead could rest above the earth, out of reach of wolves and scavengers, and closer to the sky — WindTalker

Many of the great tribes of the northern and central Plains practiced this form of aerial burial. The Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota (Sioux), Crow, Cheyenne, Mandan, Assiniboine, Blackfeet, and Gros Ventre all used it at different times and in different places. When suitable trees were available, bodies were sometimes placed high in the branches instead. The same idea guided both methods.

The body was carefully wrapped in robes, blankets, or skins and laid on the platform, often with the person’s most important belongings: weapons, tools, a favorite pipe, food, tobacco. Sometimes the heads and tails of horses were fastened to the poles so the spirit would have mounts for the journey. Orientation mattered. Crow people commonly placed the feet toward the east. Mandan often directed them southeast, toward the old country around the Heart River.

The reasons were both practical and spiritual. In winter the ground could freeze solid for feet. Wolves and dogs would dig up shallow graves. A scaffold kept the body clean and intact while the spirit made its way. Relatives could still visit, speak to the dead, and leave offerings. Some groups later collected the cleaned bones for secondary burial in the earth, in rock crevices, or in special places near the village. The Mandan arranged the bleached skulls in careful circles on the prairie.
Nineteenth-century travelers recorded these scenes in detail.

Karl Bodmer’s famous 1830s image of a Sioux chief’s funeral scaffold near Fort Pierre remains one of the clearest visual records. Later photographs from Crow and Dakota country show the same quiet platforms standing alone on open ground.

This was never a single uniform custom across all Native peoples. It belonged especially to the mobile horse cultures of the grasslands, where the horizon was wide and the relationship between the living, the dead, and the open sky was close. The scaffolds were temporary homes for the body while the spirit traveled on.

The future…

Polish non-European migration graphed

If you want to remain Poland, you have to accept a period of lower population. Capitalist forces want more bodies because that makes more money for them. Socialist/communist forces want more disruptions because that makes it easier for them to seize power and to rule. Sadly, lower populations actually make ordinary citizens richer because there is more of everything for everyone. A real government really representing its real constituents would be delighted to see the population decline and government shrink. ABN

Shiloh Hendrix guilty of ‘disorderly conduct’

Shiloh Hendrix was found guilty on one count and not guilty on the second count of disorderly conduct in a split verdict delivered on July 24, 2026.  The jury convicted her of disorderly conduct related to her verbal altercation with Sharmake Omar, the bystander who filmed the viral incident, but acquitted her of the charge involving the 8-year-old boy with autism who had taken an applesauce pouch from her bag. 

Sentencing imposed a $1,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, and one year of supervised probation.  The 90-day jail sentence was stayed, meaning she will not serve jail time provided she complies with the probation terms. 

Defense attorney Brian Karalus vowed to appeal the decision, arguing that the prosecution infringed on First Amendment rights and alleging misconduct by the judge and perjury by the victim’s father, Shire Jimali.  NAACP President Walé Elegbede described the verdict as a “mixed result,” noting that while accountability was achieved, the acquittal on the charge involving the child was disappointing. 

He harassed her. She answered back in a most reasonable fashion. She was not the instigator. She only did as he asked. Following that, she gave him the finger, which he richly deserved. If you do not respond to a threat such as he made against her, your assailant too often will escalate, based on their assessment of your weakness. He baited Shiloh and left her no real choice. If he had approached her and she had shot him, it would have been justified self-defense. I doubt this will be the end. Ridiculous sign of our times. ABN

Just a FYI for those interested, only liberal clowns care if you call us “Indians”. We don’t mind

The best way to refer to us collectively is by our nation.

99% of us never gave any thought to the Redskins, and all my friends thought changing the name was the bigger slap in the face.

We don’t care if hot White/Adian/Hispanic chicks dress up as NDNs1. Just so long as they’re hot.

We don’t really care if you call us Chief, but Tonto will probably earn you a punch.

We remain the demographic that enlists in the military more than any other, but rates of domestic violence and other crimes on the reservations continue to be a major problem, indicating that maybe it’s not the best way to go.

NDNs like Whites, Asians and Hispanics. We’re not as relaxed around Blacks and we generally really hate [dot] Indians.

Sometimes in film and TV shows you’ll see NDNs wearing what may seem like a strange mix of western and classically Native attire.

This isn’t a mistake. Around the time that the first Yellowstone prequel was set, the majority of Comanche wore “mixed” White/Hispanic and Native clothing.

Interestingly, at the same time, the bulk of the Navajo were stubbornly clinging to buckskins and furs.

Just some trivia for you.

Did you know that blonde women have the highest IQs?

The “dumb blonde” stereotype is total nonsense.

I wonder who came up with this stereotype

link

Same is true for blond men. Hollywood went after blonds due producers’ envy of their beauty and intelligence, and to undermine archetypal Aryan Whites. Blond hair and blue-eyed people (and the many others who carry those genes) founded almost all of the world’s great civilizations. The Buddha had blue eyes. The ancient and still used name for the Chinese people is Huaren (華人), which means Aryan; they learned their civilization from Aryans. The Buddha is always referred to as an Aryan in ancient texts. None of this should be a major point of pride but the constant denigration of blonds/ Whites should stop. They should be appreciated instead for their many achievements, which no other race can match, and it’s not even close. Jewish Supremacists appear to have fully seized control of USA and the West, so they should at least have the decency to tell the truth about the past and who liberated them from their narrow-minded little culture that never produced anything, save mythic nonsense.

Black Knives Matter: Another Willful White Woman Falls Victim to Vibrant Violence

Martyr or meteor? Almost everything pointed towards martyr, but one fatal flaw will ensure that it’s meteor. That’s what I predict anyway. I’m talking about the murder of the secular saint Annabel Rook. Like the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, Ms Rook herself had everything that makes for a martyr in Clown-World. She was “compassionate and caring,” devoted to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and left a “rich legacy of love and support for the vulnerable.” Yes, she was a committed anti-racist, a passionate feminist, and the shining light of a charity set up to “help refugee and migrant women, some who had fled domestic violence, through art and drama activities.”

A compassionate carer and her crazed killer: Annabel Rook and her vibrant “volatile partner” Clifton George

And she was murdered by a malevolent male with the grimmest and goriest of irony. A woman who had helped so many other women flee domestic violence was herself a victim of it. So why do I think she won’t become the focus of a leftist martyr-cult? It’s because, unlike Jo Cox, she was murdered by the wrong kind of malevolent male. Jo Cox’s killer was a stale pale male and therefore presented no obstacle to the formation of a leftist martyr-cult. But Annabel Rook’s killer was a vibrant enricher and therefore presents an insurmountable obstacle to the formation of a leftist martyr cult.

I'm not a native English speaker, but "Good week" sounds off to me, not something I ever heard, am I correct?

My neighbor tells me
my love for you defies sense.
Yet I'm still happy.

Season 3 Episode 10: How to Change Cultural Norms: Ariel and Christina Discuss

Solarpunk’s envisioning of a future that we’d like to live in isn’t just about providing a vision for us to aim for, it’s also about changing cultural norms in the present so that we can actually get to that future. Solarpunk storytelling is in no small part about normalizing the things we want to support and develop, such as sustainability, wild and productive gardens, social justice, and cohesive, supportive communities. On the flip side, solarpunk strives to make taboo or erase completely the attitudes and entire industries that are anti-human and anti-planet; we’re thinking about racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, misogyny, fossil fuels, petrochemical pesticides, overly industrialized agriculture, etc.

But, aside from storytelling, how do we change the norms of the cultures that we’re living in at all, much less to be more in line with a solarpunk ethos? Is there a secret sauce that works every time? And if we knew the answer, would we be even having this conversation in the first place? Tune in as we discuss.

The problem of car-brain

The way we live — our habitual routines and habits — shapes our minds and outlook, often in ways that we don't recognize as anything other than "that's the way things are." Alternatives become invisible and unsensed, even when our current practice is dangerous and even burdensome. "Better the devil one knows...."

Here's an example:
