What can #spiritual #ecology do in concrete terms?
If the evil lies in our assumptions, in our #worldview, then that is where we must start. That is why #education is the first concrete measure.
As a society, we have become entrenched in a stubborn #materialistic way of thinking. But even convinced materialists must admit that this attitude toward #nature has put our planet in danger.
So the solution lies in #rethinking. Viewing all life as something #sacred is a reasonable alternative.

#Vedanta led to a #peaceful and #sustainable #civilization that lasted for millennia. Even though it had some flaws in its practical implementation, we see them clearly today and can avoid them. As #Advaita Vedanta, it provides an intellectual basis that is appealing to scientifically minded modern people. If we choose to rebuild our #worldview on this basis, we can hope that the #rethinking of people and, as a result, the rebuilding of our civilization can succeed. https://www.continentia-verlag.org/post/advaita-vedanta-and-the-future-of-civilization
Modifying our view of the world and of man, #rethinking our understanding of what a fulfilled human #life is, are the prerequisites for a #sustainable and #harmonious #civilization.
#statstab #201 Missing Data and DAGs and other stuff
Thoughts: #missingdata is difficult to handle, but maybe if we build theoretical models using #DAGs will help. Also measurement error.

Just went for a (longer than planned) run through a semi-ancient woodland SSSI. Best thing for calming the brain and having a good think about those big decisions in life.

#rethinking #energy ⚡ Tohle video ukazuje, že většina z nás pravděpodobně nad přechodem k udržitelným zdrojům energie uvažuje špatně (včetně mě do tohoto momentu). Ve zkratce, bráno celosvětově: 79 % naší energie pochází z fosilních zdrojů, 13 % z obnovitelných a 8 % z jaderných. Což je prostě dosti nepěkný poměr.

The Guardian view on #rethinking #economics: a discipline in disarray holds too much sway in the UK
..."mainstream economics is proving incapable of giving sensible answers to important questions. Whether it is the financial crash, the pandemic or inflation shocks, the response is that spending cuts are needed as public debt"...

#Rethinking how we #cover the #Court.
The #essential #criticism here—that #reporters too often #treat the #SupremeCourt as #hallowedinstitution and its #decisions as #pure #expressions of #judicial #science, rather than as a #political #body engaged in #politics.

This #WebsiteProject would be unnecessary, if not for the lack of #institutional #accountability the #RCMP has demonstrated, despite numerous attempts by #RCMPofficers themselves, RoyalCommissions , reports & thousands of #CivilianComplaints . It presents an #opportunity for a wholesale #rethinking of the role of the RCMP in #Canadian Society.
#Histories presented here are #important for every Canadian to know & understand.
Read, share, teach.
Decreased productivity & increased negativity. Sound familiar?
It's burnout, baby.
Is it possible to reshape burnout into inspiration?

A velha história é a história da separação. Precisamos de novas histórias, porque a velha história é mentira. Nós não estamos separados um dos outros, nem das plantas, dos animais, da natureza, do cosmos. A nova história é, afinal, a mais antiga de todas, e os povos indígenas sabem disso: que estamos todos todos interligados, que somos feitos da mesma matéria uns e outros e as estrelas!

As soon as I hear a #physicist use the word #imagine I start dismissing their theories. Even if it’s #BrianCox or #michiokaku using human concepts and imagination to talk about light and gravity needs to be thought about, and maybe some #rethinking should happen.
@TucsonSentinel Long ago, when I went through the hiring process for my local PD (I ended up doing something else…) I was told by others - you know policing is 90% social work? Which was fine by me. We need to tell recruits that and train them accordingly. #Policing #Rethinking
“Sell It Black”: Race and Marketing in Miles Davis's Early Fusion Jazz
Although, as some scholars show, “connections between the music and marketing loom over any discussion of fusion jazz,” those discussions often rely on either assuming or dismissing the idea that commercial concerns imply the corruption of an anterior musical purity. Such discussions not only disregard the necessity of material circulation which a recording's commodity status requires, but they also regularly conflate a musician's interests and goals with those of a record company. With this article, I make distinct what has previously been conflated by considering both the differences and the similarities between Miles Davis's and Columbia Records's values in relation to marketing during the contested and commonly misrepresented period of early‐1970s fusion jazz. I emphasize that while Columbia's primary concern was in reaching what it recognized to be an expansive and lucrative white youth audience, Davis would not be satisfied until Columbia began selling his music “black” in order for his recordings to reach a significant number of African American listeners. This article thereby contributes to an ongoing critical reevaluation of fusion jazz while highlighting a key issue for those jazz scholars concerned more broadly with a recording's role in the creation of musical meaning.

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
I'm going away for a month. When I return, in the new year, I hope to have a new outlook on life. Because, right now, THIS is how I feel.
