Supplementary "Oikeiôsis, which can be translated as 'appropriation', is the idea that, in common with other animals, as we grow in awareness, we extend our concept of 'self' to include first our care-givers, and then other beings similar to us. We appropriate them into our sense of self and begin to have concern for them. The Stoics' ethical application of this insight is that we should increase the extent of our Oikeiôsis. The aim is to reduce, as far as is practicable, the gap between the concern that we show for 'self' and the concern that we show for the various categories of 'other'. Oikeiôsis was represented by Hierocles as a series of concentric circles, often now referred to as the Circles of Concern, with the Mind/Self at the centre, and the series of outer circles containing categories of people at increasing distance from the self. Hierocles' idea is that we should strive to draw each circle closer to the centre, treating members of a given circle like members of the immediate inward circle. For example, one should treat parents like one's own body, and treat uncles and aunts like parents, and so on. By drawing the circles towards the centre, we aim to increase the concern that we show for all of humankind. The idea is not, however, to treat everybody the same. People are still in the relative circles. This is a key distinction drawn by Hierocles. We should, though, treat the members of each circle better than would otherwise be the case. We ought to treat others as we would wish to be treated in their position, in accordance with the four Stoic virtues (Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, Justice). In this way, we can deal justly with anybody because he/she is in at least the outer circle, a member of the human race." https://modernstoicism.com/oikeiosis-reimagined-the-circle-of-compassion-by-ray-pilling/ #IRLPhilosopherHierocles #TheoryPhilosophyStoicismOikeiosisCirclesOfConcern #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft ? #BehaviourEmpathy

Addendum this appears to be an edited/repurposed version of #CaricaturistKevinCarden's 'Father reads to children while holding shield' illustration https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-reads-to-children-while-holding-shield/412695814 Metaphorically, Carden's original talks about the idea of fathers (parents) shielding (protecting) their children from harm. Significantly, the shield protects from a generalised/non-specific threat not the overt #OtheringHateHomophobia.ic re-inscription shown here. The theme of 'protection/liberation' is clearly something Carden finds interesting - as is evident in other examples of his work https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-holds-up-shield/253391891 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-protecting-his-child/278610451 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/mother-and-son-under-umbrella/490793637 His illustrations tend to offer up exaggerated scenarios rendered in a 'fantasy art' style, which seem to be influenced by traditions of Christian imagery/metaphorization. Perhaps, the combination of visual style, sentiment and ideology made the image more accessible/amenable to those who produced the reedited version - I'm thinking specifically of its somewhat #CharacterisationSentimentality? #PhenomnRoleFamilyFather

Supplementary #OrgUSProPublicaCoreyJohnson, #OrgUSProPublicaByardDuncan "Cambridge analysts ran the enhanced data through an algorithm to create psychological profiles that allowed for more incisive targeting. Potential voters were assigned one of five personality groups: risk-takers, carers, go-getters, individualists and supporters. Each got a tailored message. Risk-takers were viewed as highly neurotic and susceptible to ads that pricked their fears, Cambridge records show. Go-getters, on the other hand, would respond better to messages of optimism and the promise of a better future. ... For the gun industry, a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Hillary Clinton presidency would have meant more legislative battles and a possible return to gun restrictions and loss of profits. Patrick O'Malley, the man who had been running the NSSF's largely successful electioneering effort for more than a decade, realized it needed to modernize, according to Cambridge emails. So in April 2016, O'Malley, an NSSF contractor and political consultant, hired Cambridge Analytica. The written agreement called for Cambridge to mobilize supporters of the Second Amendment in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned. Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'. The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.' In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'. His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign. Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'. 'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.' Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted. 'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.' In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/ #NMUKGBNews #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyOliverDowden #MetaphorSpatialEchoChamber #IRLPollsterFrankLuntz [Wikipedia] #PhenomnClimateChange #PhenomnClimateChangeGlobalWarming #PoliticsCapitalism

The clip seeks to promote the book: 'Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity', authored by #IRLAuthorHelenPluckrose and Lindsay. Seemingly, "Cynical Theories is a melodramatic book. Pluckrose and Lindsay guide the reader through postmodernism's metamorphosis as it transforms into the 'applied postmodernism' of the '80s and '90s--comprising the new fields of postcolonial theory, queer theory, critical race theory, gender studies, feminist studies, disability studies, and fat studies--which eventually gives rise to the most dangerous of all postmodernism's transmutations, the 'reified postmodernism' Pluckrose and Lindsay sometimes refer to as 'Social Justice scholarship.'" https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-cynical-theorists-behind-cynical-theories/ #IRLPhilosopherJeanFrancoisLyotard, #IRLPhilosopherJacquesDerrida and #IRLPhilosopherMichelFoucault #IRLScholarRichardDawkins, #IRLAuthorGloriaJeanWatkinsAKABellHooks, #IRLScholarAnthonyGraylingAKAACGrayling #NarrativeUtopiaWokeLiberal #OrgClassifPPCNChineseCommunistPartyCCP Cultural #PhenomnRevolution #PoliticsCommunism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #CharacterisationWeakness_ #TauntGaslighting #IRLAuthorShelbySteele #PowerControlSegregationJimCrowLaws

Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said around 10 per cent of 800 live investigations now involve far-right extremists - a 'significant increase' on previous years. 'It's my fastest growing problem,' he told journalists in central London. However he added that Islamist jihadism was 'still by far globally the biggest threat people face'. 'It has stabilised at a very high level of 30 per cent more than two years ago,' Mr Basu said. 'The extreme right wing is starting from a very low base but a 17 per cent rise in hate crime should make us all pause for thought.' Mr Basu said that rising Islamophobic, antisemitic and racist abuse can be seen as a 'proxy' for increasing extremism, and must be tackled to reduce the terror threat." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/terror-attack-plots-uk-far-right-wing-extremism-threat-met-police-neil-basu-a9112046.html #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism "If Right Wing resurgence was 10% reacting to the 30% Would not dealing heavily with 30% reduce scale of the problem?" #PhenomnTerrorismJihadificationJihad #IRLPoliceNeilBasu [Wikipedia] #PowerControlViolencePhysicalDecapitationBeheading #2017_ManchesterArenaBombing #ConspiracyTheory_CabalGroomingGang #IRLPrivateCitizenImtiazMadmood "A woman converting to Islam is like a black person converting to slavery."
