From the news on society

From the news on society:

• this shows the problems of all cultures that normalise guns or other weapons (the shock experienced by this police officer would be worse for all innocent members of the public who undergo the same experience):   “Sydney police officer describes ‘shock and fear’ after colleague pointed gun at him over threat to spoil Top Gun plot”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/09/sydney-cop-describes-shock-and-fear-after-officer-pointed-gun-at-him-over-threat-to-spoil-top-gun-plot   
  

• “There is only one form of passive income worth celebrating. It’s a UBI”   https://joanwestenberg.medium.com/there-is-only-one-form-of-passive-income-worth-celebrating-its-a-ubi-6d919c518052   

 

• “20 years of tech has made life easier, not better”   https://joanwestenberg.medium.com/20-years-of-tech-has-made-life-easier-not-better-ef48adaca7ff   

 

• “The elegance of endurance: what centuries-old enterprises can teach modern culture”   https://joanwestenberg.medium.com/the-elegance-of-endurance-what-centuries-old-enterprises-can-teach-modern-culture-a2e370cb513c  

 

Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing, and all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk.
