#Critic
It’s a damn sight simpler to criticize other people’s ideas than it is to set forth your own. One is never in so much danger of making an ass of one’s self as when one is engaged in saying, “This I believe …”
Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]

Bashing vs. Building
Collectively, do we like reading stories about bashing people or things?
Or do we liking reading articles that build new ways?

„Gaza: Well-known writer opposes Hamas
The situation for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic, yet some Hamas leaders speak of a "historic" victory. The writer Akram Surani from Gaza City wrote an open letter to one of these leaders over the weekend. A death-defying step.“

I was wrong.
It turns out there IS something more boring than authors talking about their writing process.
It's YouTubers making video-blogs about reader reviews. That's right – not about novels, not about authors, not about critics – these are reviews of amateur book reviews by unknown READERS of a book.
No. No. No. Just f—k me with all the noes.
Or as we used to say: F—k you and the horse you rode in on.
A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong stumbled or where the doer of the deed could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

multi bias multi perspective ideas of what natural is, what nature is, and not just what these theories are - how do these influence conservation processes, how we understand biochemistry, and ecological process in DETAIL. We arent just talking about theological stuff here. It's ALL up for grabs. #queer #ecology #rant #critic #system #trans #muslim #Ecologist #writer #nature #wildlife #queering #indigenous #sources #society #ecosystem #conservation #thought #theory #interactions #bias
Your inner critic is the customs officer between ideas & actions. The one stamping "DENIED" on half your inspirations before they ever hit the conveyor belt. A necessary evil like brakes on a runaway train, except when the critic mutates into a petty tyrant. And what mutates the critic? Media. A 24/7 intravenous drip of other people's thoughts.
Consumption is the fuel for this mutation.
