  • tl:dr

    I don't like faith and I don't like dancing and I don't like heckling the only person of colour on stage.
    But you can't wait for everything to be how you like it.

  • { thoughts on faith & XR }

    These are important, empirical accounts of an individual’s experience.

    I share many of the reservations, hesitations etc. I think you’re correct to say there is some hesitancy about next week’s action (due to the political situation with leaving the EU). Which is understandable to me, I share them.

    More than anything I just want people to not shit on sincere efforts. The solutions to climate change are in the very earliest, creative phase. I hope people (particularly ‘on here’) acknowledge that in early stages of creative problem solving it’s vital to be totally open and entirely non-critical. Total support, criticism will come later. It’s 1000 times easier to sink an idea than to float one.

  • I felt uncomfortable during the exhortations to sing and dance

    With you here. Went to a families meeting which drifted off the agenda into 'sing along to this new protest song you must learn' which was so awkward I had to leave until things moved on.

    I think it is fair to say there's lots of good intention but this sometimes misses the mark.
