The other thing I got out of Noah Hawley’s elegantly written piece was that the question he most heard was “Why am I here?”. Not “Why was I invited?”, not “Why did I accept?”, but “Why am I here?”. I thought that was… interesting.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@violetblue/116637798162504941

This resonated: “Decades of research in developmental psychology have shown that moral reasoning develops through consequences—not punishment, necessarily, but experiencing the effects of your actions on others, receiving honest feedback, having to accommodate reality as it actually is rather than as you wish it to be. It’s not that the wealthy become evil; it’s that their environment stops teaching them the things that nonwealthy people are forced to learn simply by living in a world that pushes back.”
Because I’m a big fan of reconnecting consequences to causes, also called join the dots.

It’s a great question & never discussed enough.! 🙏🏻
There are dots but no one around long enough to join them… Short-termism. A few years ago all the big LICs (Listed Investment Companies) in Australia were pointing out that as long-term investors they were there to grow value - not short-term gains. They were quite miffed to be treated the same as short term profit takers. It’s a different mindset to think ahead ten years vs next quarter. As @Salvo points out in a neat real world example down thread.

Just seen an advert for Shell UK "promising a greener future for Britian" which was on just before the news that had a leader article about Storm Floris

They knew about fossil fuels, they knew about Teflon, they knew about nuclear power, they knew about Oxycontin, they knew about BSE and they most definitely knew about Covid.
