In a world of ever greater division and exclusion (including by a smarmy superficially self-righteous visionless 'leader 'of the #trustbasedphilanthropy 'movement' , Justice O'Connor showed us how think an array of nuanced colors. What the worl d so sorely needs now

RIP remarkable #SupremeCourt Justice #SandraDayOConnor. I had the privilege of sitting with her at a Civic Salon at the Constitution Center at Montpelier, VA. I almost fell out of my chair when she said she liked my book 'Constitution Cafe: Jefferson's Brew for a True Revolution'

Read how FInnegan the PhilosFish creates a greener world for all species. It is instructive to all who favor a top-down rather than a bottom-up one (in this a fish from the depths) in creating a more #trustbasedworld in which #trustbasedphilanthropy is giving from the bottom up.

Finnegan the Philosofish, wondered, 'What is a surface, really? To discover answers, he swam straight to the surface from the deep ocean depths -only to conk his head on a mountain of plastics. The Philosofish sprang into action, Read all about it

Hope you like this whimsical philosophical tale about how other species among Earth's living creatures can show us the way to solve some of our most intractable woes.

Boundlessly grateful to friend, brother, & advisory board member @CornelWest for his incredibly generous words about our longtime kindred collaborations to make ours a more caring, inclusive, loving & trust-based world in which #trustbasedphilanthropy emanates from the bottom up.

[Cornel West @CornelWest]

My dear brother Christopher Phillips and I have worked together for over twenty years. This dialogue reflects our love and respect for each other! @ChristopherCafe

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

@JamesFallows Nostalgic for when its Op-Ed section offered a bracing variety of challenging perspectives. Now it's mostly cookie-cutter thinking :( NYT needs to rehire a public editor (NPR has one!) & stop censoring even gentle criticisms on its site (say this as a longtime premium subscriber)

[Socrates Cafe - Democracy Cafe @_SocratesCafe]

If we're ever to have a #trustbasedwold with genuine nonbiased #trustbasedphilanthropy, with giving from the bottom-up, highly democratized, it begins with inclusive discourse and a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm between human souls through continual encounter and inquiry.

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

So excited I'll soon be giving presentations at my beloved alma mater @williamandmary, where I've been invited to share my 27 years of experience engaging diverse people across the globe in kinds of discourse that enlighten & make us more connected to one another and to ourselves

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

@dsallentess Yes indeed. I wrote this when I was a Network Fellow at your Safra Center for Ethics :) https://t.co/Kh30D9KNNB

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

@PostOpinions @dsallentess I wrote about this too, when I was a Network Fellow at Harvard's Safra Center for Ethics, when @lessig was its director! https://t.co/Kh30D9KNNB

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

@TrustBasedPhil For a very different perspective, and approach ,check out this piece that makes a most compelling case for "unbiased, data-driven, and transparent philanthropy"https://t.co/viKLr5hbXF

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

@dsallentess A) Besides Dr. Allen's prescription, which I fully endorse (& wrote about myself, when a Network Ethics Fellow at Harvard, we must also 1) lower the voting age for 'childkind' https://t.co/uhO0FAj0FC 2) create mini-republics that comprise true democracy https://t.co/uhO0FAj0FC

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

@dsallentess B) 3) utilize our right as citizen jurors to nullify laws https://t.co/uhO0FAj0FC 4) significantly increase the number of Supreme Court Justices (there's no pre-set limit) 4) read the Constitution - most Americans haven't 5) revive the Spirit of '76 https://t.co/pA8c7csyun :)

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

Audio version of my book #SocratesInLove by incomparable @PRHAudio! Also just published my #SixQuestionsOfSocrates & #ConstitutionCafe. A #trustbasedworld will never be had from loveless doctrinaire iterations of #trustbasedphilanthropy, but from #UnconditionLove & #Understanding

[Christopher Phillips/Philip Christopher Philipou @ChristopherCafe]

Very thrilled that Penguin Random House Audio released its fabulous audio version my book 'Socrates in Love' on this most appropriate of days, Valentine's Day. They've also published audio versions of recently my books 'Six Questio…https://t.co/bjhN9E7kLb https://t.co/GilZC3lBcd

@AnnahitaMahdavi two of my heroes

[Socrates Cafe - Democracy Cafe @_SocratesCafe]

Thrilled that our philosophical book for children and youth will soon be out in Arabic, as will 'Day of Why' (posting a copy here of it in Tzeltal, a Mayan language). It is such an empowering act of autonomy for children and youth to be able to philosophize in their own language

[Socrates Cafe - Democracy Cafe @_SocratesCafe]

Hope you'll listen in to this soulful exchange about the ongoing and worsening crisis in Iran with @AnnahitaMahdavi and @CornelWest and me and my life partner @CeciCPhillips , co-founder of our nonprofit

A big thanks to my dear friend @ChristopherCafe for sending me a copy of his new book. Having heard some of the thoughts and experiences that went into this writing, I can’t wait to dive in. Get yours today.
Thanks, Chris!

[Socrates Cafe - Democracy Cafe @_SocratesCafe]

So blessed that @CornelWest, who's on our nonprofit advisory board & wrote the gorgeous foreword to my 'Soul of Goodness,' is such an unswerving supporter of all we strive to do, now in our 27th year with our nonprofit labors of love, & his amazing life partner @AnnahitaMahdavi

[Cornel West @CornelWest]

What a joy to have this rich and deep conversation on the Iranian Women-led movement with our dear brother Chris and our dear sister Ceci! @AnnahitaMahdavi @ChristopherCafe #IranProteste2022 #زن_زندگی_آزادی
