"In an age where so many Americans navigate the precarity of the gig economy, it's darkly ironic that the politicians, many of whom have presided over this transformation, have taken to think of their offices as permanent sinecures." www.liberalcurrents.com/democracy-me...

Iain McGilchrist on how attention is a creative act.

Attention is a moral act: it creates, brings aspects of things into being, but in doing so makes others recede. What a thing is depends on who is attending to it, and in what way. Attention has consequences.~ Iain McGilchrist, ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜Œ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜บ

When thinking leads to the unthinkable, it is time to return to simple life. What thinking cannot solve, life solves, and what action never decides is reserved for thinking.~CG Jung, ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ

As any good therapist will tell you, you cannot heal what you do not acknowledge, and what you do not consciously acknowledge will remain in control of you from within, festering and destroying you and those around you.~ Richard Rohr

You can refuse a shadow projection and stop the endless cycle of revenge if you have your own shadow under conscious control. To be in the presence of anotherโ€™s shadow and not reply is nothing short of genius.~Robert A. Johnson, ๐˜–๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜–๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ

The only antidote to destruction is creation. ~Stephen Nachmanovitch

This reads like the prologue to the most terrifying dystopian novel ever written ... but every word is true. Excellent, frightening piece, @vermontgmg.bsky.social.

ICYMI: I wrote about the rollout of Casgevy, the first CRISPR treatment, a year after its approval. Due to manufacturing complexities, insurance delays, and the extensive preparation involved for patients, just two people in the US have received it as of December. www.wired.com/story/the-wo...
