In Democracy in America, de Tocqueville comes across an (already) deserted settler home in the Eastern USA (on an island in a lake, from memory) and his reaction was "Quoi! Deja des ruines?" - I used it as an epigraph in my book of poems about conflict, as almost seemed like a prophesy... #fragility

A drug that mimics low oxygen (FG-4592) prevents obesity and bone damage by boosting energy burn and blood vessel growth. This points to a dual therapy for diabetes-related bone fragility and poor fracture healing in humans.😀

Fragility.
#Fragility is we got for our country by electing thin-skinned republicons… AGAIN.

🌍 Fragility and forced displacement are closely linked, driven by conflict, climate change, and socio-economic instability. In 2024, over 120M people were displaced, with 6.7M more expected by 2026 (UNHCR, DRC). #Fragility #Displacement

Why Control Doesn’t Bring Relief - Dualistic Unity A reflection on control, resistance, and the quiet exhaustion of managing experience—and what shifts when control loosens instead of tightens.

The more control is applied, the more fragile relief becomes. What instability is revealed by needing constant adjustment?

The Systems We Rely On Need Us More - Dualistic Unity Modern systems feel fixed but they only exist because people maintain them. This essay explores dependence, inequality, and why poverty is not an accident.

The illusion of permanence hides how fragile large systems actually are. What confidence rests on assuming someone else is holding it together?

This means all of our conversations about #GAI and user responses have to take into account that #psychological #fragility is not any part of this technology programming or expectations.

It does not #understand what it is reading. It has no #context. It is responding purely at a #symbolic level.

El ultimo día del año para recordar un artículo escrito de una manera diferente. Cómo la obesidad y la homosexualidad se viven como un estigma. #homosexuality #obesity #story #fragility 📖🖊️

I’m almost 60. I grew up in rural Vermont, a white monoculture through and through. Reading this, I can only assume the author has some form of disability and r cognitive impairment. Yet he writes for a so-called “think tank”. Astounding.
