Post thumbnailI think that there is a real problem when psychologists try and teach psychological techniques to their “clients”
Because there are fundamental differences between relating to a “client” and relating to a friend or family member
Ths first difference is getting paid, “paid friends” are an abomination and a perversity
Motivational interviewing starts with an understanding of this, in my (provisional) opinion.
Offers and Needs Market
Post thumbnailImagine you had…
A simple way to build trust, community, and confidence.
A joyful way to help people connect, build partnerships, and meet each other’s needs.
An inclusive way to guide communities through challenging times.
An effective way to reduce environmental impact.
… there is a way.
The Offers and Needs Market (OANM) is a two-hour guided process where community members meet (virtually or in person) to identify and exchange their passions, knowledge, skills, resources, opportunities, and needs. From finding a place to live or a creative partner to offering graphic design services, public speaking techniques or even a special food recipe, anything’s possible at an Offers and Needs Market!

QAnon refers to a set of far-right, conspiratorial ideologies that have risen in popularity in
the U.S. and globally since their initial promotion in 2017 on the 4 chan Internet message
board. A central narrative element of QAnon has been that a powerful group of elite, liberal
members of the Democratic Party engage in morally reprehensible practices, but that
former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was prosecuting them. Five studies investigated
the influence and network connectivity of accounts promoting QAnon propaganda on
Twitter from August 2020 through January 2021.

Post thumbnailTang ping (Chinese: 躺平; pinyin: tǎng píng; lit. ‘lying flat’) is a lifestyle and social protest movement in China beginning in April 2021. It is a rejection of societal pressures to overwork, such as in the 996 working hour system, which is often regarded as a rat race with ever diminishing returns.[1][2][3][4] Those who participate in tang ping instead choose to “lie down flat and get over the beatings”[citation needed] via a low-desire, more indifferent attitude towards life. It can be thought as the Chinese equivalent of the hippies counter-culture movement.[5]

Post thumbnailFood Not Bombs is a loose-knit group of independent collectives, sharing free vegan and vegetarian food with others. Food Not Bombs’ ideology is that myriad corporate and government priorities are skewed to allow hunger to persist in the midst of abundance. To demonstrate this and to reduce costs, a large amount of the food served by the group is surplus food from grocery stores, bakeries and markets that would otherwise go to waste, or occasionally has already been thrown away. This group exhibits a form of franchise activism.

Guerrilla gardening is the act of gardening – raising food, plants, or flowers – on land that the gardeners do not have the legal rights to cultivate, such as abandoned sites, areas that are not being cared for, or private property. It encompasses a diverse range of people and motivations, ranging from gardeners who spill over their legal boundaries to gardeners with a political purpose, who seek to provoke change by using guerrilla gardening as a form of protest or direct action. This practice has implications for land rights and land reform; aiming to promote re-consideration of land ownership in order to assign a new purpose or reclaim land that is perceived to be in neglect or misused. Some gardeners work at night, in relative secrecy, in an effort to make the area more useful or attractive, while others garden during the day for publicity.

When the system is designed to exploit us then we need to be resourceful in getting our needs met.
It is best that we don’t allow ourselves to be conscripted to support a system that is against our interests.
In contrast we need to do whatever we can to support systems and relationships that meet our communities needs

According to researchers, being a compelling communicator boils down to projecting two qualities: warmth and strength. Being compelling is important, but it doesn’t help you to navigate potential conflict.
Nonviolent communication does. In fact, practicing NVC can lead you to completely rethink your values, but more on that later. Perhaps the biggest benefit of the nonviolent communication model is that it gets you to focus your attention in more productive ways during potentially heated exchanges.

I used to be an incel (no not me :-) )

“Share this with anyone who mocks a guy that identifies as “incel”. These folks carry a lot of pain. It’s not a joke or a consequence of their choices. At worst, they’re mired in learned helplessness, despite what you’ve been told by the mainstream media. We shouldn’t mock them, even if we’re unable to help them.”
A Complete Taxonomy of Internet Chum – The Awl

In what other cultural medium can you find the deepest libidinal channels of the brain truly laid bare, with the quarterly pay-per-click revenue report to back them up?
Have you lately exercised your deep-seated impulse to view an image of a weeping soft-cooked egg sitting on top of the pimple-encrusted face of Uma Thurman?

- connect with people who have exciting ideas and education
- connect to people who are doing things or will be doing things

The experiment is still to communicate peer to peer rather than broadcast BUT perhaps broadcast has value in finding connection
