楊子取為我，
Yang • zi • gains • for sake of • self,
拔一毛而利天下，不為也。
pull • one • hair • and then • benefit • heaven • under, • not • do.
The directness of classical is better—the entire philosophy explained in three characters: 取為我 (“gains for me!”).

The more I’ve learned about #neuroscience and #trauma,
the more I’ve realized that the lies we’re told by society about #individualism, rationalism and human agency/choice have DEEPLY confused us about
why we suffer and how we heal.
A quick 🧵

.We desperately want to believe that we make our own choices based on our own logic.
But #neuroscience is teaching us that our decision-making is SIGNIFICANTLY determined by our affective/emotional state and the ways we’ve been socialized over time.

.Our affective/emotional states are deeply impacted by how relationally safe we feel within our social context up to and in a given moment.
In other words, the extent to which we feel physically safe and socially accepted affects what we CHOOSE and what we DO.

#Boston #USA is part of that #IvyLeague playground 🧐
#MIT & #Harvard are in close proximity - Like #Oxford & #Cambridge in the UK (those prestigious institutions also synonymous with producing spy's & leaders)!
Perkins worked for #ChasTMain
Browder for #BostonConsultingGroup

If you look at geo-political history from 1980's - today... These two fella's have really played their part!!
Both books are great by the way... well worth a read!
- #JohnPerkins = #SouthAmerica & #CentralAmerica
- #BillBrowder = #US #Russia #UK #EU ... possibly the world!? 🌐

Far-right parties are currently gaining momentum & exerting parliamentary influence in diverse countries such as the UK, Hungary, the USA, Austria, Sweden, Germany, & Denmark.
Far-right terrorism has increased dramatically.
We ignore this at our peril.

Far-right recruitment discourse offers an affective script of feeling angry, insulted, & ashamed, as well as courageous, proud, & hopeful.
Research shows how affective–discursive practices are employed to create gateways to radicalization and ideologically motivated violence.

Within fascism, the myth of #palingenesis, that is “national rebirth from the ashes,” is continual and key to the motivation of political action & violence: 'heroism' is the “psychological recompense for fascist political activism.”
You want your world back? Go get it. They're not just going to hand it back over when they're done with it (as if there'd be anything left). Consider securing it better next time. But it will take the right ideas, the right principles, not mere political power. That's their game.
"The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of *reason*: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement."

It matters not which border crossed,
From desert dry or tempest tossed,
To waves of grain and freedom’s sigh,
From womb’s dark hold to first-light’s cry—
You’re here, you’re here, at last.

It matters not what age you came,
Eight months or eighty years the same,
What color skin your parents’ face,
What faith from which they fled to grace—

Now eye to eye, measuring minds,
The hopeful search for justice finds
No honest man can blindly curse
One more like he in chorus and verse
Than different—yes, in essence we
Are species same, from nose to knee—
As equals born with equal right
To live and work and dream the night

Ah, the #EuropeanParliamentElection knocks at the door! Let’s see who is #campaigning for what…In #Italy, a #rightwingcoalition calls for a #guaranteedincome, #largerpensions, and resistance to the heavy-handed #austerityprograms enforced by the #EuropeanUnion.
In #France, some #rightwinggroups champion #fight against #climatechange, decry #exploitation of #foreignworkers, growing #economicinequality. What about the #centerright and #centerleft parties? #Polls show they will lose their #majority, and the Euroskeptics bag 30+% of seats.
However, #Euroskeptic, like #populist, is a term that obscures more than it reveals. #Spain’s leftist #Podemos isn’t likely to break bread with #Italy’s rightist #NorthernLeague-#M5S, but both are considered #Euroskeptic. Some are really #wolves but wear #sheepskins.
