We can stand on the shoulders of giants.
But, we don't have to stare at their dandruff.
Stop looking backwards.

Humanism is a complex topic. When you combine humanism with photography, you enter a different world altogether. Please read my article and comment! And subscribe to "Between Dhool & Roshni." #humanism #photography.

"Values are just preferences" — the move designed to defuse fanaticism. It doesn't work. Preferences scale. Mobs have them. Via @bledewitz.bsky.social

We're losing the seam, between, "The world revolves around me, as a human being.", and, "The world revolves around us, as a necessary condition for proof of life, and for the continuation of our species."
Influencer, gig culture, and the existence of individuals who are lauded, as they hoard resources, and leave little for everyone else. "Billionaires" is the current scare-label, guiding my claim.
Religion is the answer, if you want to put a flame to a magic-thought tinderbox, and scorch-earth reality, and, each other.
Science education is the answer, when you want to see human minds, at their best.
And, actually solve problems.

I have been thinking about a juvenile vulture that died in my neighbor’s birdbath yesterday after hanging out there for a few days. It is sad that it did not enjoy a more satisfying life. But that’s the way the natural world often is for the unluckier individuals. Evolutionary advances in the brain led to a capacity for empathy and an interest in cooperation. The ability to think critically and objectively about complex issues also motivated efforts to set minimum standards of living for nutrition, housing, medicine, education, and so forth. As noted by Manfred Eigen, the late Nobel laureate, human evolution at the level of genes is much too slow to solve problems like climate change and the threat of nuclear weapons faced by societies today. Advancement depends on our abilities to effectively use our brains.

#humanism and #science has done a significant role in making #humanity understand better the world. This world operates on #natural and #artificial laws
To take a glimpse at my journey over the years, visit my blog:
https://kasesehumanist.blogspot.com/I am so grateful for the accomplishment we continue to achieve year after year and the challenge continues.
With Science, we can progress

Today I met Andrew Unruh. He's a founding member of Einstürzende Neubauten, my favourite band ever.
He was gracious, kind, generous, and very funny.
If you've never before heard Einstürzende Neubauten, do yourself a favour and listen now.

Great. Just saw an ad about Oprah's latest fad spiritual journey - apparently, she is now into 'stoicism'.
Will the religious impulse, in us, never die?
Especially when you can make a capitalist buck, just by vomiting out every fad, in every possible form?

Every generation thinks morality is collapsing. Socrates said it. 2 Timothy said it. Your parents said it. The data consistently disagrees with all of them.

Ancient people had the recipe. Science gave us the reason it works. That distinction — knowing HOW vs knowing WHY — is the whole history of human knowledge. by @daylightatheism

EVEN FAKER NEWS!
The "DOGE"ing of journalism happened.
What remains is the starving husk.
North. East. West. South.
Our high school graduates can't use a map.
Capitalism decouples us.
And it does not stop.

I'm pretty sure that the liminal-as-uncomort generational split is an evolved sharpening of the human understanding of spacetime.
We need to evolve to be space-faring, before we will be space-faring.
We'd be closer if a wrestling media human slave fight promoter wasn't our highest authority about the skills the youngest of our species needs to learn for the future.
But, that's just my opinion, man.

The deathbed perspective isn't about dying — it's about diagnosing which of your constraints are real and which ones you're just too comfortable to challenge. By @daylightatheism

Humanism as a practice vs. humanism as a discourse — M L Clark's essay on eight billion people is really about the gap between those two things.

Reality isn't a delusion, shared by everyone.
Within a cosmically small area of geometric flatness, we all receive the exact same information, from the universe.
Astronauts (not space tourists) have received different information.
The concept of an astronaut, in your mind, compared to the concept of an astronaut, to Isaac Newton's mind, is really different.
You know so much more than Isaac Newton. I want my species to hear this.

The countries with the highest human rights scores are also the least religious. Not a coincidence — it's a pattern that holds issue by issue, data set by data set.

Shared Article — Yuval Noah Harari: The Myth of Freedom
Shared reading from The Guardian by Yuval Noah Harari — not an original Free Will Is a Bad Joke article. -
The irony of further arming a military, in 2026, when the bombs don't even need to fall on the military, would, cynically, be darkly laughable.
The acceptance of this, by an entire species, is the insane nightmare we share.
Wars are crimes.
Against your species.

I grew up in Washington State.
A world existed, once, where I felt like B.C. was just, "North Washington", no offense, meant, eh?
As a driving teenager, I could go to a hockey game, in Vancouver, just as easily as I could go to a U2 concert, in Seattle.
I crossed a peaceful, shared, border.
I want, as an American, that.
But, there is so much shit.
Decades of GOP and religious influence, bullying, cheating, and lawlessness, out of which we will need to dig, just to get us back on track.
No religion in government. No religion in policy.
No tax breaks for religions that are not following the same rules as any other 501.c(3).
Stop embarrassing me, as an American, by giving any shrift, to magical, childish, invented, fairy-tales.
It's the 21st century, and we are very close to being a space-faring species.
Let's focus.

The Roman Republic fell. The Ancien Régime collapsed. Neither one sentenced every future generation to daily consequences. Climate inaction does. That's why this generation's verdict is different.

Secular folk trained to dismiss religious doom rhetoric may have accidentally trained themselves to dismiss all doom rhetoric. That's the trap climate communication keeps falling into.
