A Conversation with a social inhibitor

Tonight, I had a conversation with a social inhibitor

---
It happens all the time that someone do not agree with you on something
or does not have the same worldview as you
What can you possibly do?
Negotiate and discuss with civility
It does not have to result in an agreement but at least each of you would have raised his own voice
---
It is harder when you are with a social inhibitor
--
Who is a social inhibitor?
My definition is : Someone who completely denigrate a ounce of humanity in some individuals because they have different attributes, characteristics than their own.

What can you do?
Highlight than they are being discriminatory and leave them to think about their attitude and behaviour.
If they do not change, what can you do? just keep telling them when their behaviour is inappropriate.
if you are getting tired, cut the tie.
if you are not...

Any ideas?

Do you need to be an expert to talk about money?

Learn and share Ian Tennant from Positive Money Uk explained today at the Leicester secular society how money is created by commercial banks and the consequences this have on the rest of the economy and our state of democracy. Did you know that 3% of the money available is cash (coins and notes) and 97% is money created by commercial banks? Did you know that between 1970 and 2012 the money supply increased from £25 billion to £2050 billion? What shocked me was the idea that a non elected body (commercial banks 80 board members) decide how the 2.9 trillion created by them will be spent. The government has 650 parliamentaries and 2.1 trillions to allocate. Isn't there a more...

Forearm yourself with the Politics of Time and Repair the broken work-centred economy - after reading ''the Refusal of Work'' by David Frayne.

This weekend, I read the Refusal of Work by David Frayne. In the book, he defines work and exposes critical accounts of different authors on how work is valued and regarded as a morally good behaviour to engage in so that the individual can be financially independent to buy more stuff at the detriments of its own health and wellbeing and the integrity of the natural environment.

The work of André Gorz on The Politics of Time punctuates the writing in a beautiful manner and I am thankful to have been introduced to his thoughts. Finally, He invites us to get ready to o...
