🚨 NEW: Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock has urged MPs to back the Assisted Dying Bill tomorrow
This is the logical conclusion of health systems that began to sell the idea that with the "right choices", no one would ever become ill. They'd move, ideally, from treatment of illness to promotion of wellness. The inevitability of death, and the fact that we all die of…
One thing I've noticed about this image is that it's a happy, middle age person in a clean, well-fitted kitchen, who seems to be enjoying life. An image that says, "Your choices will make You a happier You." Assisted dying as the last stage of a life lived by consumer capitalism.
The true marker of a decent and civilised society is how committed it is to maximising the safety and security of the most vulnerable; the degree to which it values human life. This glorification of euthanasia is truly sickening. It is sinister.
All this just highlights the fundamental flaw with the liberal modernist worldview which derives it's moral framework from reason and utilitarianism. I am afraid to say that the human life is filled with "burdens". It's inherent to our social relationships. That is reality.
Leadbeater on being a burden, transcribed. Small prize for the first person who can decipher this for me.

Kim Leadbetter's approach to legislating on suicide appears to be: “If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.”
Less than 3 weeks before it's due to be debated, Kim Leadbeater MP has finally published the text of her assisted suicide bill. It's 38 pages long, has 43 clauses and 6 schedules. MPs will have a maximum of five hours to debate it. bills.parliament.uk/bills/3774/pub…
Great piece by @AshleyAFrawley compactmag.com/article/how-ev…
One paradoxical consequence of a certain kind of humanism is that while learning about how important specific ecosystems are to the flourishing of other species we failed to recognize that there may be specific material conditions conducive to the flourishing of the human animal.
Surprisingly honest. Not even trying to hide what they’re up to anymore; not even remotely ashamed to be suggesting the fake not only as a replacement for the real but as that which obliterates genuine tools of human creativity. Pure disembodied hubris in action.
These HR doctrines are implicitly individualising as well, reducing all workplace problems to those of "experience" and self-curation. You become your own project (your job is to "optimise yourself") and your workplace adopts an "ethos of care" to pretend it is on your side.
Related to this is the rise of self-care shamanism coming out of HR: employee “wellness” programs, just like pizza/drinks, exist to distract everyone from the fact that it is untenable work conditions which produce the need for the very “self-care” HR swoops in to facilitate.
If you think great art is a "byproduct" of anything and not a spontaneously granted gift from the gods, you need help!
