Critical thinking is different from problem solving because there is no set outcome. I would love academia to be somewhat protected from the market because this will lead to more problem solving for profit and less critical thinking. I wanted to add that psychotherapy teaches critical thinking.

Oh interesting. There are still quite a few other candidates.

There other candidates running besides Platner. Boosting him over Jordan Woods-why?

This is a slap in his ego. The grift really need addressing. He is on track to bring in $7 billion for his family during this presidency given what he scammed this year.

Gas plants are slow to build. Solar is faster and cheaper. The new blue mandate will be able to boost solar and make gas irrelevant. Texas has increased solar incredibly fast-primarily because of the realization that the fossil fuel based system does not hold up during weather events.

Women look at the fashion pages regularly. Check out my previous post about standpoint theory.

In my 30’s when I still subscribed to the NYTimes, I used to look at the prices on the fashion pages and wonder who could afford to buy these clothes. Eventually I realized that this newspaper was not meant for me. It was meant for people who could spend over a $1000 on shoes.

This statement proves standpoint theory is correct-people with privilege and power view the experiences of those without this privilege as invisible. The views of the majority do not exist to Bari.

This is the petty behavior of a tiny man desperate to be made a bit bigger by causing suffering.

There was a great protest in DC on Saturday-any coverage? I don’t know because I no longer subscribe to the Post or Times. Locally there are about two events a week-sometimes three near me and I live over an hour outside Baltimore and DC.

Governors have a huge power to support renewables and the energy problem caused by data centers in Va has to be addressed. Automatic permitting for small scale solar will go a long way. Tax breaks for EVs that have vehicle to grid capacity would help with storage.

It’s up to us. We need to have the courage our elected officials are lacking-both Republicans and Dems. Mimicking the indifference Republicans are showing for the public means becoming like them.

There is a great deal you can do. This regime is the result of nearly 50 years of planning. The degradation of American politics was a bipartisan effort. Americans accepted being consumers instead of citizens. Showing up to vote is a fraction of what is required of us.

Fantastic protest-I hope the vid captured some of the energy.
