Another World is Probable

About Another World is Probable

I blog every Monday at www.anotherworldisprobable.com and this podcast is me reading those posts. For years people asked me whether I had a blog and the answer was always "no," until one day it was, "yes." I started "Another World is Probable" as a nod to the World Social Forum's annual theme, "Another World is Possible." There's also that quote from Arundhati Roy who says, "Another world is not only possible, she's on the way and, on a quiet day, if you listen very carefully you can hear her breathe." In my opinion, we've moved beyond the cusp of possibility and into the realm of reality.

   Don't Just Do Something, Sit There

   Sometimes I think the expression, “Don’t just do something, sit there,” was made for me. I’m not prone to inertia and people often describe me as “tenacious” and “hard-working.” If something doesn’t work, I’ll try something else. And then something else. And then something else. I’m not tapping into intuition – I’m throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. That works for some people. It does not work for me.

   Holding it All

   I notice in myself and others the desire for certainty, resolution, simplicity. This means this, and that means that. We like binaries: heroes and villains. Black and white. I don’t know about you, but I’ve literally never encountered anything in real life without complication and nuance. More in this week's post.

   Do We Still Care About the Truth?

   As a journalist, and maybe because of my psychological makeup, I care a lot about the truth. It irks me when people repeat false information, or they declare something as fact without citing any evidence. I also notice when an issue stirs passion in people, or presses their buttons, they’re more apt to gloss over the truth because it doesn’t fit with what they want to be true. More in this week's post.
