A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
As long as we are not actually destroyed, we can work to gain greater understanding of other peoples and to try to present to the peoples of the world the values of our own beliefs. We can do this by demonstrating our conviction that human life is worth preserving and that we are willing to help others to enjoy benefits of our civilization just as we have enjoyed it.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1951-12-20), “My Day”More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/82…

The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion — it is an evil government.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman

The effect of a good government is to make life more valuable, — of a bad one, to make it less valuable. We can afford that railroad, and all merely material stock, should lose some of its value, for that only compels us to live more simply and economically; but suppose that the value of life itself should be diminished!
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Speech (1854-07-04), “Slavery in Massachusetts,” Anti-Slavery Celebration, Framingham, MassachusettsSourcing, notes: wist.info/thoreau-henry-david/…

@Lazarou They feel nothing, they are dead inside. #Devoid. It is unsatisfied need for #Power and #Kapital at the expense of #HumanLife. It is a #LegalCrime world for most of us, and we are the victims. Victimized in every way you can concieve of since birth, but you are unaware or in #Denial. As the trajectory of your life goes on, you realize that #Autonomy and #Agency are hard to find, maybe in the absolute sense #Unattainable. #ConflictTheory

Why this discrimination by selling less healthy products in low-income countries like India?
Products sold by companies, including Nestle, PepsiCo, and Unilever, in India and other low-income countries were assessed as part of a global index and found to be less healthy than those in high-income countries, as per a Reuters report.
The companies, among the biggest food and beverage MNCs, were assessed to, on average, sell less healthy products in poorer countries, according to the global index published by the non-profit group Access to Nutrition Initiative (ATNI).
The index was first released in 2021, but this year is the first time it split the assessment into low and high-income countries.
Reference: Food companies sell products that are less healthy in poorer countries, says report

Family life is frequently fraught with deep sorrows, tragedies and pains that are difficult to articulate coherently to others. Others may consider these feelings ridiculous or irrational. It frequently feels as if there is no other option except to live with this pain, swallowing it whole for the rest of one's life.

I am not sure how to phrase a query for the search (and do not want to use an LLM), so let me ask here.
I am looking for people and resources relevant to formulate structured requirements of nature-centric accounting, to integrate usually externalised costs of "enviroment services" aka the commons, materials, and human life, into mainstream capitalist P/L accounting.
Seemingly non-revolutionary, in effect it could upend the whole capitalism which relies on externalisation of costs and privatisation of benefits.
Is anybody doing anything in this regards? Please? -

Some statistics. The price of a single Israeli life at Oct 7th after 100 days of war in Gaza:
20 Dead Palestinians
54 Wounded Palestinians
166 Destroyed or damaged buildings
1000 RefugeesClearly an Israeli life is very valuable.
