Roman Krznaric: How Empathy Can Change the World | A N D -wackySigns-








Why we need to move empathy from personal emotion to collective moral concern

Empathy comes in two distinct forms: affective empathy is our instinct for mirroring the emotions of others, while cognitive empathy is our conscious ability to understand someone else’s perspective. In this instalment of Aeon In Sight, the British writer Roman Krznaric argues that empathy is a uniquely powerful – if often overlooked – tool for transforming and improving societies on a mass scale. Using it effectively, however, requires much more than affective empathy’s rush of emotions and reflexive reactions, to which the culture today seems particularly inclined. Rather, to get the most out of empathy, we must focus on widening our moral concern through cognitive empathy, finding ways to move from the personal to the collective.

A CALL TO EVERYBODY and me talking and mystifing art 2014-11-28




A CALL TO EVERYBODY and me talking and mystifing art 2014-11-28




Who is this poet?


I found it in my computer and its not me for sure.
This person ar much more exact than me and
that get it clear and cut.


Im just run thru the

mall
grabbing all cloth i can


making real art of it in

the contaminated
waste place southsouth-east of
the mall.




and you know what...

Since art is a nice diversement
and often are very well in its
frame on your wallls.

Since the most powerful
generator of intelligence and
culture growning wise.

Since trivia drowned out it
The church have no messeage
no more.
just sad beggings of forgivness


Art is still alive.


Art fled
your mingle of bland
years ago.
To the kids in poor town

In a concrete suburb

where the need was hunger and
amphetamines killing 
cold night and 20 below!


(most mrs mary jane - she heals they say, i just get lost)


Art took over some dudes doing them
into artists desperados.
Still hidden,the
collection of photographs



Zero tolerance towards graffitti




The guys did large pieces

deep in tunnels
Some visible too.



Big good stuff.

They signed and took the
photos
good photos
them posing




If it should be handed over

to the police there would be a
LARGE law suits over
much Moolah.



One should be aware of that

that the cleaning nazis
took the pieces down
in two or three days.



Art seem to slip out of your

convinience prison.
over and over again



Many in the cultural setting
are very nice but nice
wont cut it this time.





Nice my ASS!


¨

Its time for Göteborgs Handels och Sjöfartstidning



If you dont get that use google.

Or never mind



Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

-Look!
What a funny cat.

But can anybody identify this pro poet?

What To Say


Can a public cry for peace,

Give a billboard a bad time?
Can a mile of smoking cars
Make a clear mind a crime?

Tiger’s got to hunt.

Bird got to fly.

Is this our own river here?

Is this our pure common air?
If we scream in the pixilated fog
Will we lose what we remembered there?

Tiger’s got to hunt.

Bird got to fly.
Tiger’s got to eat.
Human try to understand.

Did the city on the hill explode?

Take your seat for the sunniest day.
All of life is now watching us
As we forget, forget what to say.

Tiger’s got to hunt.

Bird got to fly.
Tiger’s got to eat.
Human try to understand. 
(chorus repeats 3X)

Is this our own river here?

Is this our pure common air?
Tiger’s got to hunt.
Human try to understand.
