We can learn from everyone. Everyone has something to teach others. Learning new things, new ideas, and new wisdom can come from anywhere.
There’s a potential to learn in any relationship and situation.

Some of y’all need to remember there’s a grief cycle that people have to go through when they feel a loss. It blurs, distorts, and intensifies all sorts of things in unpredictable ways.
It’s takes multiple cycles to work through to get to acceptance. And it’s not easy. And it takes lots of time.

Independence is a necessary element for all voters, representatives, & institutions. Independence gives us the freedom of honesty. If reps/voters are dependent on something, it’s nearly impossible to vote objectively about that thing. This is why paying for voter/campaign donations is so insidious.

There cannot be a government of the people w/o a commitment to plurality. Well, there can be, but it is an ever shrinking circle of who can be a citizen, which by definition means fewer & fewer people can even participate in gov until only the leader can have a say. That’s called authoritarianism.

My ADHD time blindness has been off the charts this summer. It’s like I think I have a bunch of time, I’m doing things, but everything is taking 5x longer than I think it’s taking. It’s a weird time warp.

Over the last week my kids have done things for other people in ways that lets me see they’re growing into thoughtful, genuine people. Sometimes as parents it’s not always easy to see. But when we get glimpses, it’s a relief and reassuring.

The military industrial complex just exponentially grew. This is what they’re building an unregulated AI system that governs our lives and is the military too.

Why does this administration want to sell of public land?
This has been a long time desire by some, I remember people supporting this from when I was a kid. But why?

Valuing humanity and humans must supersede any value we have. If it isn’t, the. People easily become expendable and a means toward achieving our other values.
If it’s not in the order, we quickly become diminished to us vs them, purity tests, and transactional relationships.

For the record, I’d never want my comments about AI to be misconstrued as I hate it, bc I don’t. The fact that it’s being shoved into seemingly everything, despite its infancy stages and flaws, is what I dislike. People, too often, take its output as fact, while forgetting that it can’t reason.
