Mostly brief responses to stuff I read/watch. Some silly stuff, some random observations or photos from my day. No family stuff until there's a way to limit the audience for their privacy!
NB: I will only follow back people I know IRL - no offence!

In this age of global uncertainty, where in the world can we look for guidance?
The loss of the central role of people in today’s complex global systems is the greatest danger of all. In Kenya and Amdo Tibet, it can be rediscovered.

How the rise in diagnosis of neaurodiversity and mental health conditions is tied to the current care model - not system-gaming.

What looks like ‘overdiagnosis’ is really a system struggling to provide continuous care
Diagnosis rates are rising because the NHS pathway is overwhelmed and fragmented, not because distress is being exaggerated.

On 'levelling down'... the reason people distrust Socialism is that not enough allegedly Left politicians work to, in the words of Chris Mullin's PM Harry Perkins (in the novel 'A Very British Coup') "abolish Second Class". Egalitarianism should mean the best for all, not the minimum.

This. This is how grievance/resentment is a mentality rooted in insecurity, played out as insistence on adherence to social convention preserved in aspic, for the sake of individual comfort over and above that of others.
