#woke The “ #Skeptics ” Are Crashing Out HARD
When people who claim to be defending #science and #rationalthinking are calling for the #censoreship of scientific fields of research that irritate their often blind #ideological spot or the dismantling of programs aiming at increasing #diversity in #sciences, if they are supporting #authoritarianism and #totalitarian regimes, you know they are they have everything but a scientific agenda. #antiwoke #ExtremeRightWing

He looked at me and he said "Kosher food.... What exactly are you looking for?"
me: "Kosher food?"
him: "Exactly What is Kosher food."
me: (a little stunned and unsure how to answer) "Food for Jews?"
him: Well we go these crackers in.... (pointing to a display of matzoh I hadn't seen). Is there anything you're looking for specifically?
me: Well that's good (I hadn't seen the matzoh). What about gefilte fish, or borcht, or bamba, or....?
him: *looks blankly* I'm sorry I'm not very.... I don't have a very... broad... experience with....
me: (really uncomfortable at this point) "It's okay. It's okay really. It's fine" and I walked away (out of the store).
I believe the guy when he says he doesn't know what kosher food is, but he was head (?) of grocery, and even though he didn't do anything wrong, it was a lesson in how important understanding can be in making someone feel welcome/unwelcome.

I had this experience Saturday and I'm only now processing it.
I want to be clear that I don't think anyone in this story is antisemitic, but one doesn't need to be hateful to make someone uncomfortable, and that should hopefully be universally applicable.
I was doing very last minute shopping for Passover supplies, and we went to a supermarket in West Vancouver, the City Market in Park Royal. I went to the International foods section, there was no Jewish/Israeli section. No broths/soups/matzoh ball mix, borcht, bamba, etc.
I went to the Customer Service desk and asked, and the woman suggested I go to "Fresh Foods". I asked why fresh foods, and it turned out she had no idea what kosher food was, so she was guessing. She mentioned they had hallal food (which was good to hear but not what I needed). She called over (head of?) grocery and explained I was looking for "kosher or Greek food", and I explained no Greek, just kosher food.

A reminder that “the wisdom of crowds” does NOT mean that any random collection of ignoramuses will perform better than a small set of experts! It means that a DIVERSE SET OF EXPERTS will do better than one or two.
“The fact that cognitive diversity matters does not mean that if you assemble a group of diverse but thoroughly uninformed people, their collective wisdom will be smarter than an expert's. But if you can assemble a diverse group of people who possess varying degrees of knowledge and insight, you're better off entrusting it with major decisions rather than leaving them in the hands of one or two people, no matter how smart those people are.”

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:
**Writing festival to host first naked workshop**
By Katie Waple, 08 Apr 2025
Aspiring writers are being urged to "strip off to get inspired", following in the footsteps of authors like Victor Hugo, Agatha Christie and Ian Fleming.
Bournemouth Writing Festival, which runs from 25 to 27 April, has announced it will be offering its first naked writing workshop.
The ticket-only event was organised in partnership with British Naturism and will take place on 23 April at Springbourne Library.
Festival director Dominic Wong said: "Obviously some people may be shy at first but once you're in the swing of it everyone wants to be involved."
The writing festival will feature authors, TV and film screenwriters, journalists, editors, writing coaches and literary agents.
Mr Wong said: "Whilst this session will be a first for the festival, naked writing certainly isn't new in literary circles.
"Agatha Christie was said to be a huge fan, whilst Ernest Hemingway not only stripped, but also stood up naked to write...

Today I was called out for using the phrase “car guys” because it’s not inclusive of women. I corrected myself of course, but I’m reminded that a lot of my vocabulary (and as a corollary, my thoughts) are still under the influence of traditional patriarchy.
It’s really hard to undo decades of upbringing where being a man was the default and neutral state of existence. When I learned (UK) English as a child, teachers taught me to use “he” as a gender-neutral pronoun.
While I strive to be more inclusive, I continue to be surprised by how many of these patriarchal patterns continue to burrow deep inside my unconscious mind.

#Trump's admin says billions of dollars in cuts are needed to curb the federal deficit & bring the US debt under control.
His cutbacks on #research come amid a broader clash that has seen Trump criticize #universities as *discriminatory* for their #diversity policies & denounce what he sees as a failure by some institutions to protect Jewish students from #antisemitism.

I have just skimmed the book 'Gathering Moss' by #RobinWallKimmerer (searched something for my moss podcast episode) and am amazed at how much you can take away from moss evolution for today's political situation. Evolution speaks much for diverse, resisting, and adaptive communities.
