Pt I of #DespairIsNotAStrategy : 15 Principles of Hope

"#Hope can co-exist with other feelings. #Grief & hope can co-exist. #Fear & hope can co-exist. #Disappointment & hope can co-exist. #Sadness & hope can co-exist.

Writer, historian, & activist #RebeccaSolnit concurs in her book “Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities” where she writes: “A gift for embracing #paradox is not the least of the equipment an #activist should have.”

The reason many #christians and most #evangelicals will never be convinced that #climate change exists is because they believe their god has a #divine plan. To #challenge god's divine plan is to doubt the #wisdom of god. This results in #punishment much like a child getting punished by the #father. In this case, according to their #legend, punishment means #burning in #hell or eternal #damnation or not going to #heaven. #Fear is a big #motivator in #patriarchal #societies to deny climate change.

I'm not defending The Red Berets. I believe they are what you say, vigilantes with racists mixed in. Kinda like US police.

The truth may be as dark as the 1970s in NYC. Fear, as fear does, drives all of us along with the need to survive. NYC was paralyzed by fear for a decade.

Robyn Dixon: Russians snitch on Russians who oppose war with Soviet-style denunciations

"Parishioners have denounced Russian priests who advocated peace instead of victory in the war on Ukraine. Teachers lost their jobs after children tattled that they opposed the war. Neighbors who bore some trivial grudge for years have snitched on longtime foes. Workers rat on one another to their bosses or directly to the police or the Federal Security Service."

#MAGA can’t (really) think of leaving this cult. This is my interpretation out of @aimstein’s #TerrorLoveAndBrainwashing book. It’s bc—

#FEAR —leaving their people/needing to reestablish ties; fear of negative feedback/threats; & the terror of aloneness—identity & relational loss.

#Despair

They reject their doubts, maintain ideology (#FOX) & project fear on to outside world —anything not MAGA, any marginalized other & reject the govt that supports said other—we become become the threat.

Some of you know of the filmmaker, Penelope Spheeris, because you know she directed the 1992 film, WAYNE'S WORLD. But the film of her's I like most is the 1981 #documentary, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, which I saw in the early 80s at a local art house theater — probably as the "midnight movie" selection. The film hit me like a ton of bricks. I never forgot it.

It's a spiritual poverty when fearful people shoot others who ring their doorbell or turn around in their driveway.

The love of tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and extreme profits for gun makers and oil drillers is the root of all evil. I think Jesus said that.

Children play freely with art. They create without fear. Fear of failure only comes in when we’re older. It often develops after we’ve been hurt or criticized. Fear of failure thrives when we feel we have to justify our creation.

Fear.

white fear of Black people achieving full equality in all areas and in all ways as white people have always had here since colonization in what is now the #UnitedStates.

That's what all of #police violence is about.

That's what every attack on being "#woke" and #CriticalRaceTheory is all about.

That's why white people don't want to #DefundThePolice so we can fully fund social services and education, and do other collective good.

#Fear of Black people.

Episode 5 of #The1619Project.

One of the great difficulties of suffering from #anxiety is that one often has ignore their fear and act anyway, but this requires a great deal of rationality because one must constantly decide whether each situation is legitimately dangerous. #Fear is a tool that we evolved to protect ourselves and if we get too good at ignoring it, then we can get into serious trouble. Submitting to it, on the other hand, isn't an option either, so one is stuck with a heavy cognitive burden. 1/2

It can all be lies, because lies also help further their cause by sowing #confusion: "Can't trust anything these days! Nothing is real?!"

Driven by #fear, Revin ran as fast as he could. He heard Lidja screaming. He put on a burst of speed until a towline grabbed him & dragged him high up in the air. He could see clouds as he sailed up. Then it dropped him. He was in free fall, then struck the ground. Hard.
He sat up, heart pounding. The clock ticked. Lidja turned over then reached over, feeling for him. He laid down & pulled her to him. He patted her, reassuring himself to her presence, until sleep took him once more.

What is a #brainelevator?

#CBT #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy uses an ABC model to explain how a general (A)ctivating event results in an individual (C)onsequence (emotion, physical reaction) through an individual (B)elief.

Example: You see a dog. You feel #fear, you might freak out. Because you believe it might harm you.

If everyone seeing a dog would have the same belief, they all would be scared. No one would love dogs or work with them.

So, in #CBT we question your conditioned...

Happy #Thanksgiving everyone!

It's #ClimateCrisis, we were fed for 77years with cheap energy. We got fat and complacent.

No reason to #fear, though, but to become active and solution focused.

Assume you got shipwrecked in considerably warm, survivable water and you knew coast is within your swimming reach. Would you use your small chance, without a compass, to survive or just give up?

Btw, do you know the #Turkey paradox?

My loss seems a small and petty thing,
Like a demand for attention,
Sometimes I lose my voice to this doubt,
When Everyone expresses their emotions so eloquently,
Instead there is a hollow place were my grief should be,
I have emptied out my soul in sorrow and pain,
Now I fear what grows there,
For in it’s place only Rage remains, fierce and burning,
I will pour out this rage,
In the hope that in the emptiness that remains,
I will find the space for myself to grow

Hey Mastodon #philosophers, #CognitiveScientists, etc.. I am very naive about empirical #psychology generally and I am working on a paper about #fear. I wonder if you could help me with literature suggestions:

I am looking for work about the threat response system. Specifically, I am looking for work on the possible scope of #ThreatConditioning: what *kinds* of stimuli is it possible for a creature to be conditioned to have threat response to? E.g. the ontology of possible stimuli.

#Mentalhealth is my main favorite subject that I'll be tooting about.

#SelfCare #Selfmanagement facing #fear #anxiety #panic and #depression.

#NeuroScience knows a lot about #neuroplasticity and how desired behavior patterns can be built by proper training ( #CBT ) while undesired patterns atrophy like an unused muscle.

Modern, integrated cognitive behavioral trainig (iCBT) combines the best approaches of conscious and unconscious mental processes.

“Panic attacks revolve around terror. Though people mainly associate them with the mind, they’re actually constellations of symptoms, both physical and cognitive. Your brain is seized by fear; your body responds, and it can be hard to make sense of it all.” https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/10/well/mind/panic-attack-symptoms-causes.html

I really want to tell my mom about my #Autism assessment because I tell her about everything. But I'm also scared she'll tell me that I couldn't possibly be Autistic when I resonate with it so much.
