- Caring about others even if it means making sacrifice for yourself
- Reaching out to those not like you who need understanding
- Listening instead of just shouting people down
- Trusting and being trustworthy

We put the wants of the Present over the needs of the future

We put the wants of consumerism over the needs of the trees, plants and animals and environment.

Wants are fine and many can be met, but they should not be prioritized over needs. It is a choice we canale differently.

We put the want of the "Feeling of safety" of some (vs actual safety) over the need for basic human dignity and rights

We put the wants of Oligarchs, promising that one day they will actually trickle something down, over meeting needs of people to get enough food, health and other basic sustenance

Discovery is always about exploitation… the language of discovery is about extraction, transformation into some sort of transferable commodity.

It's only when you're considered as a relative or a being with inherent value on your own merits according to your own priorities, you're not endangered in the same way.

Daniel Heath Justice: I think when we talk about discovery, what we're talking about is exploitability. We're not talking about relations, and that I think is the key… if you are valuable as an exploitable object, you're in danger. If you're not useful as an exploitable object, you're also in danger

The worst formula is when
Power + Ego is mixed with
Ignorance + Immaturity + a lack of empathy and Catalyzed with
No checks on power+enablers brewed and dissolved in a Hate medium.

Now it is imperative that they be reigned in. The people have spoken and will continue to speak out against these injustices.

Treat all with human dignity and respect.
