We are pollution vectors when eating or drinking from single use plastics. Jane Goodall asked us to intentionally choose how to act every day. Refusing to be a vector for fossil fuel industries is a choice we can take every day.

Adults must be able to talk to adults. Not platitudes but actual dialog.

Deeper awareness of language and logic is needed. Changing scale at one’s convenience to dissolve dialog and dehumanize the unfamiliar is no longer tolerable. Should have never been. Fallacy driven language must be overcome, patiently but firmly.

I think flattery to a person can be as dehumanizing as demonizing. While a person can change and become better or worse during a lifetime because that is how humanity works, it is the actions that matter and should qualify for social commentary, I think. 1/4

Perhaps the generational chasm is more clearly obvious when considering the lack of literacy regarding data and large scale evidence, and the blindness to psychological conditions that have put mentally unqualified people in positions of power.

Adults without a college degree in the US may know how to read but are naturally behind in data and psychology research because they may have last learned about evidence and human behavior in high school, if at all.
Museums need to reach out to adults, specially those without school age kids.

I will say this: Carl Sagan may as well be rolling in his grave listening to astronomers who have allowed themselves to be dumbed down to mostly children programs and cocktails for nerds. Why is anybody confused about adults not understanding data? Museums can and should do better.

Fake wealth is apparent in the use of single use plastic. Consenting to single use plastics bypasses rationality and well aligned criteria.

Thinking of the reasons that individuals give me over the last decades to consent to single use plastic pollution. It seems to me that the little fake luxuries entailing plastics (serviceware, balloons, etc) hide poverty in the US, and that may be why the pollution continues against evidence.

Too many adults are trained to feel accomplished by regularly stuffing trash cans with plastic waste.

Aligning knowledge with behavior means actively rejecting plastic “disposables” (pollution).

A most ridiculous aspect of futuristic movies where the environment is highly polluted and barren is that protagonist characters look like supermodels instead of broken, toothless, skin falling off…

In my experience, removing the face of abuse does not remove abuse, even if that face stepped down to a retirement job as a reward after the systemic abuse has been put in place. That face is but rage bait and distraction, whether personal, community or institutional.

People are poor having had goods replaced with plastics. Plastics —around food, in clothes, etc— are presented as luxury by oil industries where proper materials cannot be afforded. It is hard to explain the plastic crisis to those in denial of their poverty. Poverty denial hides plastic pollution.

I met Hanne some years ago and know her work is becoming more needed to overcome the individualistic competition of talking points that block societies from moving forward.

Posts in social media are safe when stemming from one’s own thoughts. Not implanted, not baited but reflective and connected, one’s own thoughts. Keep the thinking going.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The mute option is also useful to give space to a friend who has not figured out they are being rage baited, specially if there is no action called, and the info is just meant to drive righteous despair.

Plastic from fossil fuel industries rely and promote an unconscious notion of micro merit for each piece of trash consented to: that bottle of water, that carryout container, that plastic packaging. Data and perception literacies are necessary to address mass distributed pollution.

The ability to moderate one’s feed including photos should be at the core of social media as to afford ourselves to detangle from propaganda and from those/bots merely echoing propaganda.
