It is therefore, and unfortunately because truly difficult work, not
at all peripheral to these essential questions of sustainability and
healthiness of humanity and the planet, but the core issues to address
in truly getting to anywhere socially, economically and emotionally
different.
Yes indeed.
I have been baffled for some time about how to introduce these concerns
and what has been learned, however as you say this is 'tough stuff'.
Maybe some kind of face to face inquiry node on these topics alongside
the list would be valuable. And if we are both in London (and anyone
else, I am also based in Brussels) we could perhaps see if that idea had
legs. I'll send my contact details off-line.
A last thought that might nourish anyone looking in, or draw acute
scepticism! Few people seem in touch with the long term research of the
psychohistorians. A key element of their study of the evolution of
childhood and its relation to political realities suggests that the
possible politics to some degree tracks changes in child, especially
infant, child care. ie that political relationships elvolve in the
direction of mirroring how power is experienced via childcare. It could
be that the extent to which men are much more involved in childcare and
that it seems increasingly more child-centered, might result in a
contradiction of patriarchal politics. This has been my personal or
local experience. Your thoughts?
