yes, this is another way of answering @nat’s question about portals to connection. When you’re in too much debt, there’s not much connection, and there will eventually be a reckoning which usually means even... - onWe have the option to see everything in your life as collaborative; we are scared to say this because we don't want to victim-blame but we're also scared of the possibilities and transcendence that opens upby
Loving and appreciating you, as always. As soon as you say, it seems very true that I'm trying to dodge the PC police... and I'm juding myself for as a bit of a coward for it.... - Shera JoyCry...
What more do you want seeing in the world
Jordan just asked "What do you want to see more of in the world". Here’s my quick response: Want the change makers in the world, the people who are interested and engaging in the world of issues, where they see a wrong and dedicate their time and resources to right those wrongs... - Philip...
Thanks for saying that. I think one reason I tend to steer clear of the topic is seeing the way someone I mostly agree with (JKR) gets skewered and labeled a transphobe when I’m pretty sure she’s not.... - Philip...

I thought it was very insightful and informative, so much so that I couldn't think of anything to ask.... - IsBix...
You certainly demonstrate a high degree of ignorance about Mr. Trump. He put the first woman ever in charge of a major building project in NYC. He received the Mohammed Ali Entrepreneurial award, created long term funding for HBCU, has the first openly gay Secretary of the... - IsBix...
I don't get what you mean about shouting echo chamber? I think the charts are pointing out that the two sides are often less extreme than the other thinks; for example most republicans aren't homophobic, racist, etc; just like most democrats dont want to murder billionaires and... yeah i would like to see more of this. I think this is the thing states rights advocates are gesturing at, and one of the powers of a federated gov; and it kinda relates to Anton's post about monoculture. I think this is also the steelman of school-of-choice.... Oh interesting- I don’t feel like I hear either party talking about the foster care system or the chain of events that might lead to someone having an unplanned pregnancy and trying fix those root sources. The topic is rarely address from the lens of root cause....
