Found this last night. Today it reminded me of the small convo in Sunday group about this of us being seen as a a threat/pariah for our actions. I also think about Family Systems therapy where it is believed that families has dysfunctional anxieties that have been normalized and considered "safe". Once one steps away from this, the normalization/mean is thrown out of equilibrium.
I would argue that those who "step away" lean in the direction of life and its attendant risks.
Interesting responses in applying his argument to woke culture....
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?
You or someone in your fam? It's Christmas shopping time and I'd prefer to support small biz and folks I know. I also just listed some of my ceramics on Etsy and can share a link if y'all are interested. 🎄
Anyone else know this game? Apparently it's a Canadian invention- kinda like air hockey or shuffleboard. My husband is obsessed and my boys are getting super into it, too. Pretty wooden board, fun to play. Anyway, just thought I'd see if y'all had heard of it. It's brand new to me. Any other favorite games?
