Humility: Why modern leaders need to resurrect this ancient virtue


...
Van Tongeren: I’m certainly not the first person to think that humility is a good idea, but two things have happened.

First, we’ve accumulated enough psychological research to have a clear sense of what ancient wisdom has suggested for a long time. The empirical data support that humility really is transformational.

Second, our culture — particularly in the United States but also worldwide — needs it more than ever. The U.S. is in the midst of what scholars have called a narcissism epidemic. Our overinflated sense of self is growing at astronomical rates. We’re seeing this lack of humility in political, religious, and other cultural conflicts that are creating a sense of despair, loneliness, and mental disease that we perhaps haven’t seen in quite some time...



in reply to Andrew Pam

Imagine the jealousy felt by those of us living in the Trump world although I suppose the whole human race lives in it with respect to pollution and climate change. He pays companies billions to abandon renewable projects and go fossil. Unfuckingbelievable.


Wingo Starr and friends form charity art gullery


More than 200 model seagulls are to go on display later this month as part of a community art project.

Artworks Art4All, a Barrow-based community interest company, has been collecting pieces from schools and community groups for its exhibition since September.

Its volunteers run art projects for groups, including those experiencing isolation and mental health issues, to give them a space to be creative in a supportive environment.

Founding director Sharon Tait said gulls of all sizes, made of felt, glass and even sweets, would be exhibited and auctioned for charity. "We have a lot of seagulls in Barrow. A lot. And now we have even more," she said.

The exhibition is entitled What the Flock? The Seaquell, and builds on a similar project where people were invited to create model sheep.

Treasurer director Linda Rollinson said her favourite was a 5ft-tall (1.5m) cushioned seagull called Wingo Starr...

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will require more RAM to run.

honestly it's the Windows figure that seems divorced from reality. My work PC hovers at 9 GB used before I even open an app. Add to that the 1.5 GB reserved by the onboard GPU and I quickly hit virtual memory by opening the mandatory electron apps.

why shouldn't I switch to light weight Xfce displaymanager ? Gnome also should be resized downwards. I promise Ubuntu doesn't need so many GBs any more.

I loved Sabayon.

I dont remember which version it was that i installed ( but an early one). It was easy to install ( from a CD / DVD) its default graphics , icons, wallpaper, themes were were cool. A dark dangerous red.

It mostly worked, i loved it.

Not sure why but most likely becuase i had a half dozen machines to maintain it made sense to have something essier and more widely used. I think it was the early days of Ubuntu so that was the choice.

Wow Sabayon what a treat.

A Modest Utopia!!
Great Weather on Sunday for HanaMi CherryBlossom Sakura gatherings.. Mimata's KamiYone Park is awesome, and it felt great, very convivial to be there with a lot of people enjoying the day.. I ended up running from the CherryBlossom Beauty slope to the other side of a neighboring 山 big hill to appreciate the big playground.. Lots of healthy bright-eyed people outside having a great time.. It reminded me of some lines from Paul Goodman's essay "A Modest Utopia" all we really want is good air, clean water, and the chance to grow up healthy and vivacious... all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed...

A pond at Malakoff Diggins. This place was mined hydraulically beginning in the 1850s, a process so "pleasant" it led to the first environmental legislation of any impact in California. The blasted hills continue to drop sediment, as is evident.

Here's the final piece. I helped out a bit for filling and getting the lines a bit cleaner, everything else was theirs. Their artist name is NIKU and I painted a quick vertical type in black and white next to it.

💾 IA, acumulación primigenia y resistencia por Sutty

Crawlers de Big Tech saturan servidores autoalojados forzando migración a Cloudflare. Mientras Aaron Swartz fue perseguido por piratear papers, Meta/OpenAI roban terabytes impunemente. Hay estrategias para las huertas digitales comunitarias pero son cada vez más complicadas de implementar.

¿Invisibilidad o disputa? Si la IA será "la verdad", ¿salimos del corpus o tejemos vínculos propios?

In my new op-ed at The Hill, I describe a shift in how staffers & citizens perceive American democracy through the concept of “shifting baselines.” thehill.com/opinion/congress-b…

This term from ecology illustrates how each generation tends to view the environment of their youth as normal, regardless of how degraded the system may be. I wonder whether future generations will recognize when it’s necessary to push back if their firsthand memories are only of political upheaval. #uspol #science

amen.

"For young Americans coming of age in the 2020s, a constant state of political combat has been normalized. Within just a few years, they have witnessed the Capitol breach of Jan. 6, 2021, protests sweeping through cities nationwide, encampments and clashes on college campuses, and ICE raids in residential neighborhoods...."
