Tonight, we played a few games of Nego, a strategy game with cats. The rules are very simple, but there are some nice twists. The design of the physical pieces was our favorite part.
The game was designed by Yuka Morii, a Japanese clay artist and Pokemon illustrator.
I enjoyed it, but my partner felt it was boring. We both felt the game sort of plays itself as spaces become more limited. We both like it as a piece of art, though. The game is available here: japantrendshop.com/nego-cats-b…

This is an interesting article about how to increase people's ability to care.
The world feels/is more dangerous these days. Part of it is our attitudes. Marketing and politics have taught us to distrust one another. As more people are impoverished or feel the threat of impoverishment, the angrier they become. This is hardly surprising.
When pet dogs or cats are abused and abandoned, they can often become distrustful and aggressive. We are no different. It takes a lot of consistent security and care to turn these behaviours around. If we want to resolve any number of the problems we are facing in the world, we have to stop thinking in terms of who needs to be punished. Stopped--yes, rehabilitated--yes, used as an outlet for vengeance--NO!
Human rights start with recognising everyone's humanity.
Who we care about is limited – but our research shows how humans can expand their ‘moral circle’

When it feels like so many people are in need of compassion, how do we decide where to direct it?The Conversation
like this
what if the person suffering was actually someone we disliked, or even someone who may have caused harm to others? Would we care then?
Absolutely. If we are to hold on to our humanity we must do this. However, if they hurt me? I will care from whatever distance and abstraction I feel is necessary for the safety of me and mine.
