The gospeller attitude some people take toward Jung is so ex cathedra that if he wore blue pyjamas and drank oolong, it must be just so.

"No significant American political figure has ever spoken in such a fashion. It is language that betrays Miller's indoctrination in the ideology of the Third Reich ... [he] has absorbed and spits out the ravings of Josef Goebbels and Julius Streicher, the publisher of Der Sturmer." ~ WSWS

If this World Cup were happening in Russia, say, or anywhere in the global south, under conditions similar to those now prevailing domestically and abroad, the incandescence of the outrage would rival any stadium's lighting. Its absence in respect of the US is rank hypocrisy.

Reports of fuel riots in Kenya and official warnings in India to prepare for an economic crisis equivalent to Covid reconfirms what we already knew: the damage of war descends preexisting hierarchies, inconvenience in the North is disaster in the South.

When patients ask, “What disorder do I really ‘have’?” the honest answer is usually more interesting and messier than a single diagnostic label. I wrote for the @nytimes.com on what I wish people understood about diagnoses and the nature of mental health problems. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

It has become clear to me that aging itself does not bring wisdom. It often brings regression to childishness, dependency & bitterness over lost opportunities. Only those who are still intellectually, emotionally, spiritually growing inherit the richness of aging.~James Hollis

Never forget "the countless small actions of unknown people" (Howard Zinn), especially now, when evil seems to have the upper hand; do not overlook the salt-of-the-earth who are trying by way of money, prayer, protest—to name but a few expressions—to tend to the near impossible.
