From this week’s news on: society generally, and broader issues

From this week’s news on society generally, and broader issues (note: I may continue to add links for a few days, possibly up to a week, after these are published):

• “‘We are not hardcore hippies’: why our family chose a low income in order to have a richer life | Jonathan Cornford | The Guardian”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/commentisfree/2023/dec/23/jonathan-cornford-interview-low-income-family-rich-life  
  

• “Unveiling the True Meaning of Social Justice - The Australian Independent Media Network”   https://theaimn.com/unveiling-the-true-meaning-of-social-justice/   This is an excellent overview  
  

My links for activism post may aid any activism  you may decide to do on any/all of these. 

 

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.
  

 

If they are of any use of interest, the activism information links from my former news posts are available in this post.

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 & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering”.
