CounterNarration 🌠

@jlmannisto's blog about positive disintegration, creativity, our potential to develop ourselves, human catalysts, and transforming idealism into reality.

Being maladjusted to a disordered society is not in itself a disorder. On the contrary, this maladjustment can fuel both personal growth and positive social change—if it’s handled wisely. At @ThirdFactorMag, that's what we're aiming for. https://t.co/MvCFQzMtE4

This is where I've been lately! Check it out. It's like CounterNarration, but better! More voices, more space for community, more rigorous, but the same sorts of ideas that presumably got you to follow me at this Twitter account. https://t.co/IdTVgj488g

Neurosis is intimately bound up with the problem of our time and really represents an unsuccessful attempt on the part of the individual to solve the general problem in his own person.~CG Jung

Do any of you #overexcitable/intense people meditate? I'm writing about OE and #meditation , with the tentative thesis that it's helpful but works differently for us. If you have a story to share (either supporting or contradicting my thesis), DM me! I'd love to interview you.

[CounterNarration 🌠 @CounterNarrate]

@SENG_Gifted If anyone else relates to that, about meditation both being beneficial and difficult for intense/gifted/overexcitable people, BTW, I'd love to talk to you -- I'm thinking of writing an article about it. Please DM me!

@SENG_Gifted My dad got into meditation in the 1970s, and encouraged me to do so as well. I've gotten up to 30 min/day with some success, but went to a silent meditation retreat last weekend, and it was HARD. Others did better. I wondered if my intensity had anything to do with it.

[John Nichols @NicholsUprising]

As we mark the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, remember Marek Edelman, a leader of the Bundist youth group Tsukunft (Future). He risked his life as an organizer of the uprising, yet survived to tell the story until his death in 2009.

@AlexanderBlum0 It's interesting to imagine a world where this lottery exists: people would have to demonstrate skills or competencies directly to their employers rather than having a name on their CV that stands in for them. Hmm....

[CounterNarration 🌠 @CounterNarrate]

@AlexanderBlum0 I actually found the article thought-provoking. Ivy League admissions are competitions of status, which is different from merit. Robinson makes a good point that far more people than get admitted to Harvard could do the work, and that's worth mulling over.

@amirbarblog @AlexanderBlum0 And to be clear, I meant that the quote's compatible with the concept of male fragility, which isn't to say I think that's the ideal frame for the issue. I wholeheartedly agree that we should strive to eliminate unequal power relationships, not recreate them in reverse.

@amirbarblog @AlexanderBlum0 Hear, hear. Well said, Maqroll.

[Richard D. Wolff @profwolff]

Every economic system – slavery, feudalism, capitalism, etc. – is born out of another’s decline. Each grows, changes, and then dies giving birth to another. Capitalism’s decline drives us toward worker cooperatives, an alternative system.

[CounterNarration 🌠 @CounterNarrate]

@Kate_Arms This is a great point. We can never experience another person's life, so it's impossible ever to directly compare...but there are ways of aiming the mirror to reflect what we can't see directly, and in those cases, we often brush off what we see. #SENGChat

[CounterNarration 🌠 @CounterNarrate]

@SENG_Gifted I have the flip side of that experience, of trying to get adults who I recognize as "rainforest minds" and gifted adults to open up and talk about these experiences. But they hate the G-word, so I have to talk around it. #SENGchat
