Someone shared this with me who said it had been circulating in the Hasidic community. Will likely offend a lot of people these days.
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
Got turned around in the group today but hope it was eventful!:)
Was happy to ruminate on Individuation and group think.
Also with some questioning of an analogy made with human society and collectivity/herd instinct as one might compare us to other animals, crows for example roll in murders and are monogamous.
Schools, mumurations, heck, why not go with praying mantids and the feast on male heads or clown fish and the infamous sex change?
Animal comparison takes us so far and then humanism would proceed with reason and rationale, hopefully tempered by the monsters on the margins, the shadow, the Tik Tok in the gaping maw of Father Time?
Shower thought: We focus on teaching critical thinking to counter “woke,” but it doesn’t always work. Maybe we need to hone and demonstrate discernment skills first. Mainly, practicing a detachment from assumptions, slowing down reactive thinking, seeking wisdom from elders, etc. AKA: humility.
