“The new fascism: Israel is the template for Trump and Europe’s war on freedom”

by Jonathan Cook on Substack

@UKLabour

“The wide-ranging crackdown on political speech is being framed as a 'war on antisemitism'. But fascism was always going to return in disguise, calling its opponents, not itself, the Nazis”

Status and power dynamics exist at every meeting. Here's how hierarchy, status, and power relationships affect meeting effectiveness.

We'll all get a lot more out of our events when we practice wirearchy, not hierarchy. I encourage you to join me.

There are so many ways of being human. We all develop in different ways & at different rates: to be slow is not a failing, smarts are not a #moral virtue.

Creating a #hierarchy of human worth paves the way for cruelty. Whose interests are served by doing this?

"Come to think of it, every dream our great male visionaries and poets come up with of an ideal society—Plato’s city of Atlantis, Thomas More’s Utopia, Augustine’s City of God, Jesus’s kingdom of God—all of them describe societies defined by #equality, #cooperation, #,co-dependence, #empathy and #unity.

#PatriarchalMasculinity, by contrast, is defined by #hierarchy, competition, independence, stoicism and #isolation. How have we allowed this force to so thoroughly infiltrate our leaders and societies for so long when it is the exact opposite of what we see as ideal?

Truly mind boggling when you think about it."

Finding a culprit and punishing them is, in our culture, often presented as a solution in itself. Even while the ship sinks.

From the article, 'on morals and inertia' (link below).

Here is a short essay by “China’s first political anarchist” that goes against the traditional views of Confucianism by offering a Daoist critique.

Hierarchies, structures of power and domination are criticized for going against the Tao.

Although #anarchism and #daoism are set apart both in time and space—the former took shape in the West one hundred and a half year ago whereas the latter is one thousand and a half year old and originated in China—they share a common aversion to #hierarchy and coercion.

A thread

Is there a data structure that can sensibly handle multiple hierarchical classification systems?

e.g. an Orange, in terms of phylogeny is
Plantae->Eudicot->...->Citrus->sinensis

and in terms of usefulness, is
Thing->Food->fruit->orange
(and it could have multiple parents in this taxonomy, e.g. cleaning product)

Bonus points for cool visualisations of this kind information.

Seminal quote from Silo:

"His discovery was that evil men arose from evil systems, and that every man had the potential to be perverted.

Which is why some systems needed to come to an end."
