Great book I cannot recommend enough about looking at things different. Quote of the year, "Rage may be justified but politicians are our representatives as much as our leaders but with the lack of public protest maybe we're getting the politicians we deserve" #framespotting #damntheman #drumpf

#trewLit All the world's a stage. It's Trew. Somehow we've subscribed to a very dim view of life. We eat, we shit, we die. There is significantly more to our existence than drollery. We are creators. We are decision makers. We are lovers. We are energy. You may not believe it about yourself, but you are important. You have a unique voice and skill set that the world needs. You wouldn't be here otherwise. Don't believe me? Then that is really half the problem. Limiting beliefs. Look what humans have been able to achieve - they're related to you. Let's build something together - even if it's just that fucking Lego set. Let's try. There is nothing we can't do, unless we convince ourselves we can't. #framespotting #bookofthefortnight

Cars are framed as freedom machines (think of all those empty roads in car adverts): a frame which emphasizes their advantages and ignores or down-plays their side effects. So you can happily buy one without worrying about any side effects it might have. Admittedly this framing goes with the grain of our thinking anyway. We don’t like having to keep thinking about how our actions might affect other people. It’s boring. Restricting. It’d be much more fun to live in a world where we can just do what we like, wouldn’t it? Of course, that’s a make-believe world. Actions do have consequences. In a make-believe world they might not, but in the real world they do. But we don’t really want to face up to this, and so we lap up a lot of framing about freedom. Freedom is a wonderful thing, but it cuts both ways. One person’s freedom to pollute erodes the next person’s freedom from pollution. It’s great to have freedom from being exploited; but what about someone’s freedom to exploit you: is that great too? Corporations want “free markets” for example: the freedom to operate without regulation and without having to bother about the pollution or other side effects they cause. But that’s denying us the freedom to protect ourselves from them. Again there’s a general pattern: framing tends to support the freedom of a few people to do certain things, but ignores the consequences, especially for others. The freedom frame often looks at one person’s rights, but the next person’s rights fall outside the frame and get ignored.
