Why I Love Ron Swanson's Masculinity (But Dislike Much of What Passes as Biblical Manhood) : A Thread
Ron Swanson's manhood is secure. He knows he's a man, We know he's a man. This is a biological fact, not a metaphysical category.
Because of this, Ron Swanson's manhood is not performative. He is who he is.
Ron Swanson is so secure in his manhood that he is not threatened by powerful women. He is friends with them and attracted to them.
Ron Swanson is so secure in his manhood that he does not need to lord it over weaker men. He guides them and encourages them in their development.
Ron Swanson is humble. He is open about his weaknesses (they are few & named Tammy) and depends on his friends to help him overcome them.
Ron Swanson is a wise, mature man. Be a man. Be like Ron.

Conservatives rightly see morality & economics as linked. But we tend to see the affect as linear or unilateral, w/ morality affecting economics. This thread reveals different story & one that's more consistent w/ Scripture, imo.
For example, Proverbs 6:30 says that no one despises a poor man who steals to satisfy his hunger, assuming his economic state is what has reduced him to stealing, not simply a loss of personal morality or responsibility.
But it's larger than this. E.g. Genesis 1 sets the frame for human flourishing as image bearers. Interestingly, the Creation Mandate link family formation (be fruitful & multiply) & stewardship/ vocation (rule & reign). They are intertwined & mutually dependent.

Reading this reminded me of first time I engaged w/ the Magnificant in any meaningful way (despite having grown up in church that taught me to love Scripture)
I was writing a paper for college class (Bible as Lit) when I 1st saw connection btwn Hannah's prayer (recorded in I Samuel 2 & Psalm 113) & Mary's
As controversial as Mary's prayer is (what w/ the proud cast down & rich sent away empty), Hannah's prayer is even more so, especially given the immediate context

Thinking a lot about class, leadership, & discipleship recently & realized we need a category of "upper working class"--folks who have roots in poverty or lower working class but aspire to middle class.
Something really distinct is happening in this group, especially as it relates to establishment culture & their own attempts to advance in it.
Class differences aren't simply about economics & education. They also reflect access (or lack of access) to the social institutions & broader system.

#Thread I was triggered to write this by a status I saw over the weekend which was figuratively calling people who aren't entrepreneurs fools.
You must have seen similar ones like it. The one where they will claim you're building somebody else's dreams if you work 8-4 or 9-5.
The earlier you people who peddle entrepreneurship realised that not everyone is cut out for the business world, the better it would be for everybody.
You think I'm not living the life I dreamt of just because I answer to a boss? *Just let people do what they love, man.*
How difficult is that for you to understand?

If you're truly an entrepreneur in Nigeria and you sell real goods and services, you can't paint entrepreneurship ( in Nigeria) as exciting, attractive and something only foolish people will not venture into.

CURSE OF KNOWLEDGE:
This is a powerful cognitive bias, and the one that's probably most responsible for you staying stuck in your dead-end way of doing things instead of breaking out.

What is it?
The mind's inability to remember what it was like to not know something.
At first glance you may think this is a relatively unimportant thing. Completely harmless.

But it's robbing you of your freedom. Here's how.

To understand, we're going to use an example from my life: Magic Tricks.

I'm a professional mentalist; I've performed in Vegas.
I know how the mind works, and I understand why the simple methods of magic are so powerful; they leverage exactly these kinds of mental hiccups. So, here's the example.

I do a trick, and you want to know how it works. You'll do ANYTHING. Pay me $100, even. Great! Pay up!

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Gemalto has apologised for publishing erroneous report on Aadhaar data breach. But why would a world class firm mislead the people of India? What has Gemalto to gain from it? Does Gemalto has stakes in #Aadhaar? Lets see which journalist has the courage to report this.
To understand whats really going on you must first know the background of Gemalto and where it comes from, that would bring things into clear perspective. Then we would address the Aadhaar issue and how the People of India is being mislead by UIDAI.
