As a facilitator, working with both sides of an issue with a group can be hard. Doing so challenges me to practice non-attachment.

Estelle Platini

"Capital’s answer [to the 1970s crisis] was the neoliberal revolution, directed against the democratic nation-state […]. The search was now on for improved motivational techniques, aimed at making the progress of capitalist accumulation more independent of politically mediated social and economic concessions. A central role in capital’s fight against the apathy of its retainers and the stagnation of capital accumulation caused by it was played by increased competitive pressures on the workers of the ‘affluent societies’ of the West, domestically by ‘deregulation’ and across national borders by ‘globalisation’, forcing them to work harder and submit themselves more obediently to unpredictably fluctuating market conditions, by developing the new kind of ‘governmentality’ that has been so strikingly portrayed by Michel Foucault."

Wolfgang Streeck’s in “Taking back Control? States and State Systems after Globalism”

The Conversation U.S.

New research on #kids and #attachment: There’s been a long-standing notion held by many psychologists that early attachment behaviors are mainly determined by a child’s temperament.

No: Even children with characteristics of a difficult temperament can benefit from the advantages that come from multiple secure attachments.

@MisterMadge Probably possible though the whole thing about most jobs is that it's actively working against most people and even the workers themselves, as a kind of 'drive' or stress towards doing more of it from some kind of attached need (the attachment theory) like a child that needs a parent (or "parent" company) and then "does stuff" to others and not to you... but what goes around definitely comes around by design.

Liked the picture, had a speck on my screen and though that was the hawk in the distance until I scrolled and it moved :)

"It is awkward and it is threatening to detach from what is already not working."

Lauren Berlant wrote in "Cruel Optimism" (page 263)

Book presentation: 'A relation of cruel optimism exists when something you desire is actually an obstacle to your flourishing. Offering bold new ways of conceiving the present, Lauren Berlant describes the cruel optimism that has prevailed since the 1980s, as the social-democratic promise of the postwar period in the United States and Europe has retracted. People have remained attached to unachievable fantasies of the good life—with its promises of upward mobility, job security, political and social equality, and durable intimacy—despite evidence that liberal-capitalist societies can no longer be counted on to provide opportunities for individuals to make their lives “add up to something.”'
