December 10, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | If violence is not inherently bad, what's my problem? #PlumbingViolentDelights
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"Or maybe it's not just an illusion. There are times when vengeance seems to be. When people do violent acts as well. And in some cases, that's approved of, and in some cases it's not. And I think also when you think about activism, there's. There's a whole bunch of other steps that can be done before reaching the point of violence. But when some. When things have not worked up to that point, it's almost a last resort. Right."

December 09, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | Philosophically exploring the topic of violence, a series. #PlumbingViolentDelights
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"So then I think if that's the case, then realistically I am having unrealistic expectations, hopes for human behavior with respect to violence. That is from a perspective that's on the outside of the bell curve, right? If other humans do exist like me, then maybe I'm an outlier and I'm trying to see the rest of the world and other humans through a lens that just does not apply to them. And on the flip side, their lens doesn't necessarily apply to me."

December 01, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | Asking him to be the "good guy", is asking him to risk everything. No wonder sexism & misogyny are alive & well.

"I mean, how many times have we heard people say in real life, let alone in movies and television, don't cry like a girl, don't hit like a girl, don't run like a girl, et cetera, et cetera, and telling a man that for him to be a man is to not be a woman. But then the way that this manifests is far more. So."

November 23, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | What if... blurring the edges brings clarity?
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"But I was thinking about all of the nuances that are involved with the different auroras and the colors and the intensities of what if instead of it simply being temperature, density, humidity, that have to do with like how cloud formation happens. What if there's an additional component in the mammothous clouds that has to do with the type of molecule, or even not just molecule, but type of particulate, because clouds are forming around particulates."

November 18, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | Cognitive empathy; "what's in it for me?"
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"Or the way that someone will start laughing, and then you hear somebody else start laughing and you don't even know what's so funny, but then you find yourself laughing. It's sort of contagious, right? It's. It's a part of your genetic makeup, so to speak. But cognitive empathy is something that we have to teach children of. What would it feel like if you had your toy stolen or if you were hit, right?"

November 07, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | Values then identity or identity then values; it changes everything.
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"And this is bizarre to me, because when that happens, it's not the values that are firm, it's the identity. And so that means that you can be a Republican or a Democrat, you're lifelong. But because those groups, those labels, mean different things through time, that means that whether you like it or not, if you're aligning with that identity and your identity comes first, then your actuality, your values are changing. And so then I'm thinking, what is?"

November 01, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | Broken systems: when capitalism is interwoven with human dynamics...
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"So I actually got to see this firsthand today and it kind of blew my mind. I went into a room on Clubhouse with people I've never talked with before and it was on sustainable leadership. And the men were talking about things from a very, I'll say, abstract way. They're talking about systems and economics and numbers."

Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"And we make individually, we make decisions based on what we want most or what will benefit us most, or which in group we want to be a part of, etc. But throw a bit of technology in there and suddenly we have another animal. I was reading an article the other day where a gentleman was talking about the very near Future, as in 2025, or in some cases 2026."

October 25, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | The science of trees ๐ค healthy human relating.
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with these per se, but I think there's a beautiful understanding with respect to seeing relationships as seasonal. Sometimes someone comes into our life temporarily and they go again, and maybe they come back, or we go and we come back, or maybe we don't. But while we were in relation to one another, there's something beautiful there."

October 25, 2024 @SeekingPlumb | "4 strikes, you're out!" How deeply entrenched "boxes" & hierarchies shape perceptions & thinking. ๐คฏ
Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb

"I married the son of a preacher man, the whole nine. So this is not at all foreign to me. Just the where it is today of labels and boxes and hierarchies playing such a pivotal role in being able to have any sort of dialogue around belief and non belief or scripture. And to hold up scripture as some paragon, but then to brush it aside when someone does come to you with receipts around what's in scripture. It was really surreal."
