Just bought this today because I was browsing B&N & the back of the book was basically word for word describing the rant I went on to my therapist yesterday, lol. I'm so tired of feeling like a project or an investment. I just want to be a being.

New piece about the horror of alienation that we all are experiencing right now, inspired by the movie Obsession. From Paulo Freire’s concept of “dual being”, to the social context of demon possessions, to alienation at work, this movie made me think about a lot. open.substack.com/pub/damongar...

NEW PODCAST! Best, coolest, weirdest, specialist episode of all time tbh. This Good Friday I'm thinking about systems, agency, the nature of reality, the inseparability of particles, and what Jesus meant when he said on the cross, "They don't know what they’re doing.” youtu.be/vQb7fprRq7Y?

Go to @sojo.net and read the new excerpt from Enough is Enough: Degrowth, Capitalism, and liberation Theology sojo.net/magazine/mar...

While Christianity facilitated the emergence of capitalism, it never did so without internal opposition. Christians on the underside of capitalism speaking up for themselves and the lives of oppressed people have always found conflict with other Christians privileging the imperative of economic growth at all costs. Degrowth prompts us to rediscover the prophetic critiques of growth and the communitarian commitments, the other tools within Christianity, that could destabilize the idol of economic growth.

On Nov 1 more than 41 million people lose access to SNAP. So while Trump supporters say they’re “saving God”, this administration is really starving God. Jesus said, “whatever you did to the least of these you did to me.” Wrote an essay on The God Who Starves here. open.substack.com/pub/damongar...
