Irreni World Scale

Happy Wednesday! Breaking Ground! I recently watched a very well intended podcast on YouTube regarding addressing racism in America. https://youtu.be/pHGt733yw3g A summary of this two hour long video is that racism is complicated and the movements looking to address racism are simplifying racism to naive solutions that won't work. Also racism is just one piece of a bigger social system and the entire system needs to be addressed. Even so there is an interesting debate about whether slave reparations being both over simplified and being a solution out of context of the greater culture. I recommend spending the two hours watching the video. This is because one of the conclusions of this video is that our societal problems are too complicated to solve. Why do people feel our societal problems are too complicated to solve? Why have we given up? The video is correct. We can't solve these problems. What we have today in society is a Gordian knot of social issues that cannot be untied

Hi! Happy Monday! Occasionally people in my position in society who are advocating for social change will promote kindness. Be kind. But what does that mean? I'd like to explore being kind in one particular form: being generous kind. Kindness of generousity means always seeing some goodness in everyone no matter how hated a person might be. I suppose one example of would be nuns who minister to prisoners on death row. Here is an example I posted in  yesterday's post: "A reasonable person adapts themselves to their environment. Therefore all progress depends on the reasonable person." - George Bernhard Shaw The original quote used "man" where I replaced "man" with "person". Times change and language changes in real time. When Shaw used the word man then it was understood to mean anyone. Not so today.  I translated old English to new English for the same reason  a quote in Spanish would need translating into English: to convey meaning What

Happy Sunday! Where are we?  I know where I'm at. I'm hijacking the new #Unity2020 traffic on Twitter for my own campaign! Ha! Evil laugh! Ha! Where are we politically in 2020? Why are we stuck in political quicksand without a rope? Well, because when dysfunction is normal then functional is insane. As George Bernard Shaw opined, "The reasonable person adapts themselves to their environment. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable person." Reasonable people have adapted to the current dysfunctional environment. We can no longer trust our personal political reasoning. What is the solution to this dilemma? Frontier. The solution is to adventure! Adventure into the apparent unknown! It's romantic like my hat! Frontier adventuring means heading into unknown territory of unknown risk, but do so with the best safety measures possible. Irreni will appear crazy to you because the crazy today seems normal to you. The only way out is to bridge the gap of unknown
