@antlerboy @michaelgarfield @stephlepp @jdj_writes @bonnittaroy @jim_rutt @JMNSCH @Joe_Lightfoot_ @cognazor You might be right. But I see it as a networked version of advice relating to spiritual bypassing. “You have to be somebody before you can be nobody”. It’s not journalism, academia or education etc, but I think it first needs to become like them before it can be transformative(!)

If you're interested in the bigger picture that informs #COP26 and will remain relevant no matter what happens there, watch this: *Beyond Extinction Rebellion: Why we need to be moderate to be radical. Professor Rupert Read.* #GlasgowCop26 #activism https://t.co/ATzlsBF8aO

@adamjlent Thanks Adam. You’re quite right to pick up on that confusion/inconsistency. Your case is also aligned with Tim Jackson’s main arguments in Prosperity without Growth. (Ps. Sorry for the slow response on your bigger paper).

I’ve lost track of my own copy of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by @shoshanazuboff so I was glad to see a copy in a shop today and took a photo of the definition on the inside. It’s a crucial idea to get your head around, and the book is worth your time. 👇 https://t.co/icBeWLa82t

Sarah has a chapter on cognitive dissonance in Dispatches from a Time Between Worlds: Crisis and Emergence in Metamodernity, published @Perspecteeva https://t.co/HTX0bbAytT

@EastCoastScots Agree. If you haven't read Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer I can strongly recommend it. There's all sorts of emotion, memory, ritual, identity and culture wrapped up in meat eating.

A morality tale about #chessdrama distantly inspired by George Orwell's Animal Farm. "The main problem for the scapegoat is that the elephant did so much work for the goat that the world beyond forgot the origin of the story." #weekendreads https://t.co/H2ccgApH51

Last day in Kerala today. There’s an article in the local paper, Malayalam Manorama that has a 2 million(!) print run, on the human interest story of my connection to Calicut (through @SivaThambisetty) and my book The Moves that Matter. Very grateful to the journalist Harish 🙏 https://t.co/e5oF6CAc2e

@alastairmci @Perspecteeva There are many possibilities, and that’s one of the deeper ones. I’m also thinking of Jeffrey Kripal and ‘The Flip’. But in essence if we don’t fully understand consciousness, time, space, extension, and causation, we can’t be sure what happens at death.
