The Pushback Paradox: Arguing against a position on social media almost always results in a greater, rather than lesser, awareness and acceptance of the position you seek to refute. 2/

There are only two premises you need to accept to see the paradox. 1) every engagement on social media (comment, quote tweet, reply) is a de facto β€œshare” which increases visibility 2) Negation is an extra cognitive operation, and is the first thing to be lost in memory 3/

Dear black folks, the talking heads on the left & right are not talking to us. They're talking to each other. They're playing a rhetorical game of "YOU'RE the REAL racist." Avoid their trap. Let's build up our own communities w/ those who signal through work, not rhetoric.

The ship was at sea, far from the shore. It was not a good ship, but it was the ship folks knew. Some said for decades that the ship was unfit. Then came an epic storm & it became clearer how unfit the ship was. More storms are looming on the horizon. Time to go back to the land.

If your economy requires people to consume things they don't need or even want, and to do more of it each year than the year before, just in order to keep the whole edifice from collapsing, then you need a different economy.

But it's possible for those who see the depth of the problems we face, and who possess the capacity to contribute to building something better, to shift their purpose in life toward this end, even if they might not live to see its realization. These are the seeds we must plant.

"It is up to us to stop seeing Progress (which cannot be stopped by anyone or anything) as a stream of unlimited blessings, and to view it rather as a gift from on high, sent down for an extremely intricate trial of our free will." #Solzhenitsyn
