Choosing Representative #Jared_Moskowitz of Florida to serve as the ranking member of the #Foreign_Affairs Committee’s Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee was a stupid display of tone-deaf arrogance and amazing ignorance.

Haiti’s gangs are destroying the country’s farms while also taxing imported food. In Haiti’s gang economy, does imported food aid also weaken the very farmers Haiti needs in order to survive? See my substack @bertrandlaurent

@morna6.bsky.social Pleased to meet you. I’m the Duke of Mars. Me and my swarthy squad of ninja kangaroos are stealthily hiding in a crater waiting for billionaires from earth, who we’ll kick right back into orbit without oxygen. While waiting, I write on substack. Check me out: @bertrandlaurent

@reginafabry.bsky.social Hi Regina, I write about the anthropology of blame: how societies project guilt, disorder, and failure onto nature, animals, outsiders, and institutions — and what that history reveals about modern governance. I think you’ll like my substack @bertrandlaurent.

Man’s 1st government may not have begun with a king or army. It may have begun with a pig. My new Substack looks at domestication as Man’s 1st governance problem: ownership and the dangerous question, “Who decides?” Read it here: @bertrandlaurent #Governance #Anthropology #History #Civilization

@lifewithpigs.bsky.social Ever wonder why the Chinese symbol for “house” is the symbol for “pig” with the symbol for “roof” over it? See bertrandlaurent.substack.com/p/pigs-and-p...

@logosfan215.bsky.social I have been looking for a logo for my book since i started writing it. It’s difficult because the title is a play on words, an allegory. How would you suggest I approach such a challenge?

The lack of concern shown by many political and business leaders for the planet is appalling and frightening. The ability of #autocrats and #oligarchs to influence so many ill-informed and economically desperate people indicates that education and good governance are urgently needed.

@realmoralitylab.bsky.social Moral behavior is often defined by “taboos”, which are used to define social or behavioral boundaries. See #Who_Put_The_Devil_Into_the_Pig” a book by Anthropologist Bertrand Laurent about how societies have evolved. Find it on Barnes & Noble online.
