One of the most humbly brilliant professors I’ve ever known was from Morocco. I’m not sure if he’d have something modern or postmodern to say here about terms like ‘close-knit’ and ‘traditional’ being called ‘oppressive’ if they existed in a different part of the Mediterranean.

Loneliness is a growing global health issue, but it’s harder to spot in close-knit communities worldwide. Being surrounded by people, as in Moroccan society, can mask feelings of isolation and depression, making them taboo and harder to address.

Solid dose of hopium from @doctorow.pluralistic.net

As seas rise, we're going to have jobs for every person who is willing, building sea defenses and moving whole coastal cities inland. Two generations of neoliberalism has left us with massive shortages of housing stock, crumbling highways, inadequate schools and hospitals. That means that we need to build *lots* more of these, and they can be built with state-of-the-art climate hardening, including geothermal heat, "passive home" designs, modern insulation, and heat-pumps. The rights-of-way for the interstate system would make dandy railbeds for arrow-straight, all electric high-speed rail powered by solar, wind and tides.
All of this has the potential to yield a second peace-dividend prosperity. A post-oligarch world can recover industrial capacity by diverting it away from destructive activity (data centers, luxury housing) to essential functions (climate defenses, decent housing for everyday people). A post-oligarch world can recover democratic excellence by removing the malign influence that morbid wealth exerts on our policy choices: for example, if we don't like the quality of public schools, we can fix them by giving schools more resources, not by letting billionaire dilettantes privatize and starve them in the name of "school choice":
