There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵

Proud of the activism, dedication, and scholarship of my colleagues at @dukedecolonize. A thread from our recent commentary in @GlobalHealthBMJ

[Duke Decolonize Global Health @dukedecolonize]

Our recent commentary, https://t.co/sFxvhCbHgp, attempts to capture why and how the current global health machinery has not lived up to its promise of global health #equity.

As emerging GH practitioners part of the #DecolonizeGlobalHealth mvmt, we have some ideas.

Disgusting, but unsurprising....the uniquely voracious nature of American capitalism never fails to prioritize capital over human life.
