What we are, who we are, is by necessity contiguous throughout humanity.
It's inescapable. We experience a range of mostly similar things through a range of similar perspectives and can provide a similar range of response and feel a similar range of feelings.
Everything else is narrative.

In the advent of the internet, and particularly social media, all nationalistic, cultural and politically ideological curtains (certainties of "normality") were rendered mute.
We're not suffering an identity war. We can suddenly communicate person to person worldwide;

Antisemitism being so horrifically weaponised by Israel will wrongly & sadly remove a huge amount of power behind the lessons we should have learned against authoritarianism & how easy it is to slide into hatred. Poppies be fucked; We've entirely forgotten what we were supposed to remember.

Postmodernism and especially post-post-modernism may have fitting sounding arguments within common misunderstandings of science, or sadly sometimes even within them, but I'll countenance reality being imagined as true when one of them can demonstrate kneecapping themselves with an imaginary brick.

"Since we took over stabbing people repeatedly from the last government, we've found a crisis of too many people seeking justice and healthcare for stab wounds. To deal with this inexplicable epidemic that must be the fault of refugees, we're going to do away with stab wound diagnoses and justice."

The economic fantasy that you can continue spinning wealth out of efficiency, innovation, gambiling and narrative isn't just wrong, it's a damaging insanity

Just listened to a conversation about the risks and existential terrors of AI in which almost every assumption was either inaccurate or ridiculous, and I realised what a trick AI companies had pulled by making people more scared of our fantasies about the tech than of how its owners actually use it.

Tbf, since the government publicly turned against the idea of collaborating with subject matter experts, it's not too surprising politicians' attempts to resolve systemic issues fall short; given most of them have near zero expertise or relevant qualifications for the industries they're meddling in.

According to Wes Streeting, societal breakdown, the deliberate dismantling of mental health and community services and a multi-year waiting time for a ND diagnosis appointment is due to...over diagnosis.

How can someone who derives benefit for themselves by manufacturing scarcity and limiting access to basic survival needs consider themselves moral or humane?
How can we justify teaching our children that such people are those we should aspire to be like?
When did society stop being about people?

The problem now isn't really even the issues we face, or the recognition and acceptance of the fact that those mechanisms we built and trusted to resolve them have failed quite so utterly to do so, but that we currently have no clear, cogent and collective enough a path to deal with them otherwise.

A beautiful masterclass in dissecting the Telegraph's usual flow of nonsense here.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

We cannot maintain a stable society that teaches its children that they can only either be moral or successful, but that we expect them to be both anyway, and will treat them as human failures otherwise.

Ethics and morality have sadly little in common in our current world.
We live in a world where the morality of an action is based mostly upon on it's current popularity, and where ethics would only ask if you hurt anyone important to your customers to achieve it.
It's the sophistry of nightmares.

Badenoch is the thin damp streak that's all that remains of the Conservatives.
Not least because Labour's replaced them in approach and Reform have replaced them in bile.

If the mansion tax enables people to amend their property to avoid it, we must either base it on land value, or current area value.

The issue of nihilism isn't resolved through ideology, but through humility and curiosity.
We create the meaning of our reality by deciding and creating the mechanisms we approach it with.
It's vital, but describes still only us and our perspectives/experiences, not anything in reality otherwise
