When's the last time you heard or saw 'masculinity' used in a positive way?

Thought-provoking discussion-starter article from Josh Sargent: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m a teenager who was lured into the manosphere. Here’s how to reach young men like me | Josh Sargent

Masculinity is almost always presented as toxic on my feed – but we need constructive alternatives to give hope to those who feel lost, says Josh Sargent

The war is on all fronts. Whatever our area of expertise, we can use it to defend and uphold justice, peace, truth and beauty.

Some on the left are quick to denounce the 'intellectual snobbery' of a broad vocabulary. But degradation of language use is degradation of thinking.

Whatever our gifts (and we all have at least one) we should be free to use them to uphold peace, truth and justice, and not feel ashamed.

“A war is being waged not with bullets, but with dictionaries. The battlefield is the public square, the news cycle, and the political speech. The casualty is truth itself, and the weapon of choice is the deliberate, systematic debasement of language.”

"Top graduates" could be tackling polycrises, meeting humans & nature's urgent need for solutions.

Instead they "use mathematical models combined with vast amounts of data & computing power to spot correlations & asymmetries in asset prices & make bets"

Yes, this is where we are: amidst a series of tipping points, all capable of unleashing different lethal domino effects.

The big and ongoing unknown is what order they'll occur in.

Many ways to skin a cat, many possible pathways to destroy a biosphere.

Brings to mind the old west country game of door-settee, usually played in the sitting room. One player tries to make the other touch the door, who tries to make them touch the settee. The game originated surprisingly not in Dorset, but Wiltshire.

The money for climate action, nature protection and public goods is there, it’s just in the wrong hands.

We urge governments to #TaxTheSuperRich and support fair global tax rules to protect the future of people and the planet.

Reminder: a person in the RICHEST 0.1 percent causes more carbon pollution in one DAY than someone in the BOTTOM 50 percent does in a whole YEAR.

The high carbon lifestyles of the super rich are burning through the world’s remaining carbon budget and costing us our future.
