What is the #greaterGood?
Who is the arbiter tasked to decide the answer to that question?
By what authority does it decide?
#Freedom is being me without anybody's permission ...

Not for profit, but for the #GreaterGood
#Good = For All
In #Union We Stand

Divided We Fall

In the wake of the 2024 election in the United States, what is one step we can take toward a more #inclusive, #cohesive, and #compassionate society?
That’s the question we put to a range of scholars, writers, and thinkers whose perspectives we deeply respect here at the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center—and here are their answers.

@MAKS23 as their grandparents did it, so they have to do it too, as #heroism in #russia is about committing #warcrimes and not about #selfsacrefice for the #greatergood

Richard Allestree, Anglican minister, writes on the parable of Lazarus & Rich Man from Luke 16. He notes that the rich man, the Glutton, who did not aid a starving Lazarus on his doorstep, is sent to hell. Allestree wishes that everyone would give this lesson the import that it needs. He says every degree of unmercifulness that we show to others, comes back to haunt us.
How can you respond to the needs at your gate?

I have a “community nature center” in my town, which is an interesting model, and different than the more classic USA “nature center” model. It is closer to a permaculture model, but it still has a #leavenotrace element, which limits both interaction and impact between all community members.
My vision of a “permaculture center” is a space dedicated for building “community.” However, my vision also excludes utilizing this space for a human agenda to “#savetheplanet” or contribute to “a more sustainable future.” While those goals may be fulfilled through that I envision, I find that when those become the primary goals of “centers” or other initiatives, the local sense of community gets lost. Those #local community relationships become sacrificed for the sake of the “ #greatergood.” But that result ultimately weakens the “greater good” because the “greater good” requires strong relationships at a local level as well.

“One of the most common mental habits we all succumb to is confirmation bias, picking out the convenient bits of information that let us know that what we already believe is true.”

This is for about 50+ folks who claimed to be pro #HumanRights - against fascism, against racism, against bigotry & against all that most of us deem evil - who spent more time trying to troll or avoid admitting they're colonial slaves for paycheques - than they ever had trying to help out at any real frontlines.
Real #frontlines are where you're uncomfy as fuck & never know when you'll be arrested for #civildisobedience for #GreaterGood ✊
Shut up. Comfy critics. You're cowards & you know it.
