“The Emperor’s New Clothes” is transparently a story about the hard-wired inability some of us have to avoid perceiving and speaking the truth of a situation. For all its downsides – social awkwardness, anyone? – it’s a neurocognitive superpower. And like all such superpowers, we must only use it for good.

So here’s something I’ve been thinking about *a lot* lately. I live in the UK, where (as you may know) our National Health Service, the #NHS, is under severe strain. I believe a lot of that strain is intentional – designed to fracture the system so that it’s easy to privatize – but some of it is organic, and however it arises, it’s a real thing. With the need for access to care increasingly desperate, what I wonder is *why people with healthcare skills are not setting up free clinics*.

@npub1mdk…aptk But it’s not OK, really, is it?

There are, of course, worse things in the world, but I find it nearly unbearable that all of us are constantly exposed to the banal things Elon Musk thinks, says and does, whether we want to be or not. I cannot remember the last day on which I did not see or hear his name. (I’m doing it to you right now, and I hate it!) He is the very worst of us, and I look forward to a time in which he is first ignored and then forgotten.
