Labor movements ushering in the 21st century — and the future

 September 21, 2024


The problematic with current labor organizing is Wall Street greed.  It’s hard to target the owners of the economy because they are insulated behind financialization.  But if we can successfully reframe the narrative — who knows?  The labor movement has stepped up to address the two key questions of the 21st century: information technology and the just transition to green energy.  Welcome to the 21st century: an information revolution powered by green energy.  There is no alternative!  It takes more democracy to operate more advanced technology.  It’s just as simple as that.  When we finally live in the world we would like to see exist, should that day ever come, we will have this organized labor movement to thank for it.

Situationalism v. dispositionism

  We must attain, interrogate, critique, and transform measures of attitude, perception, and belief, revealing conclusions about the nature of what someone knows. So I want to show you a modified Venn diagram — modified by me, so please be patient — and which describes two aspects of social psychology that influence policy, behavior, and belief through structures of law and the way we approach thinking about questions involving human disputes within institutional structures; so you can see that, roughly dividing this category of looking at people and their relationship to larger systems and how those systems in turn see people into two camps, you have situationalism, which means people‘s social context shapes choices, and you have dispositionism which basically pre-judges people on social characteristics leading to the notion that someone can be at fault for who they are. Of course, there’s some fuzzy areas in the middle. For instance, you can say that context and sense of self sha...

Answering some nagging philosophical questions

Structurally sound assumptions may be made by simply denying all assumptions that may be made until they prove themselves otherwise.   This is why science is still so relevant because science is the purest natural expression of logic.   However, such an important distinction and framing needs the further question: for what does logic serve human beings?   The straightest answer I can give you is, while some will claim that a sound assumption denies its opposite, the truth is that a denial of the truth denies itself, and that’s why the truth is true, since Socrates.   The establishment of truth has been difficult since then.   Do you follow what I’m saying?   Logically speaking, logic is truth, but truth is not logic.   So we enter a dialectic.   The distinction but not difference between facts and actualities is the difference in making sense of it here.   The truth is a fact that became an actuality.
