So You’re Thinking About Becoming Christian — Here’s Why - Dualistic Unity Thinking about becoming Christian? This article explores why Christianity is so appealing — and how its promises of certainty, identity, and belief quietly reshape growth, empathy, faith, and lived experience.

The move often follows disillusionment with self-guided paths. What trust has been eroded before authority feels comforting again?

In Gorton and Denton, I found a long-festering sense of fury that Labour has no idea how to tackle | John Harris The people I met were disconnected and angry at the same time. Even if Labour somehow wins this byelection, how does it arrest the slide into hopelessness, asks Guardian columnist John Harris

In Gorton and Denton, I found a long-festering sense of fury that Labour has no idea how to tackle

“here and all over the county: anger, disconnection and bewilderment with a party and government that are now floundering and disoriented”

A Crisis of Confidence for ICE and Border Patrol as Clashes Escalate

“They’re causing chaos, and unfortunately it’s costing lives.” There's a growing sense of #fear, #frustration and #disillusionment among some current and former #immigration officials at the DHS over the Trump administration’s approach to its immigration #crackdown.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.” — Ursula K. Le Guin

Some systems feel inevitable right up until they don’t. Old assurances are thinning, and people are quietly rediscovering agency — not through heroics, but through relationship, realism, and shared capacity.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: “Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibility.” — Viktor Frankl

When the illusion of rescue fades, freedom isn’t what’s left. Responsibility is.

Not as blame but as capacity returning to where it always belonged.

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: “A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed.” — Donald James

When truth lands hard, it’s often because an old story was doing a lot of quiet work.

Disillusionment isn’t a mistake — it’s a signal that something real is finally being felt.

When we stop pretending - Part I Disillusionment is a threshold

After slowing down, some stories quietly stop working.

This piece names disillusionment as a threshold — grief first, then sobriety — where agency begins to return through relationship and shared capacity.

The Nobel as Loose Change
A moment that doesn’t shock — only confirms.
When honor becomes negotiable, even symbols turn into loose change.

Coming Out of the Fog - Dualistic Unity An experiential exploration of what people mean when they say they’re “coming out of a fog”—the moment thoughts are no longer mistaken for reality, and clarity begins to return.

The fog lifts slowly, often without relief. Why does seeing more clearly sometimes feel worse before it feels better?

Candide - Wikipedia

For school I read some:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candide

"
A young man, #Candide, lives a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise, being indoctrinated with #Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor #Pangloss. This lifestyle is abruptly ended, followed by Candide's slow and painful #disillusionment

Question for anyone — but I’m seriously curious about how this is framed in professional dialogues: what #evolutionary role does an experience of #disillusionment play in human existence if at all? Is it simply part of learning? Is it maladaptive when we get stuck in that state?

Young adults are less likely to follow politics or say voting is important: AP-NORC poll A new poll finds young people in the United States are less engaged in politics than older generations are.

A new AP-NORC poll finds #young people in the U.S. are *less* engaged in #politics than older generations are. The findings point to a broad sense of #disillusionment among younger people about the country's political system.

I don’t expect perfection. But I miss sincerity. I miss being able to believe that someone in power might actually mean what they say.

Some still do, I hope. But they’re getting harder to find.
