  The Republic by Plato is a philosophical text that addresses the question of justice. In the text, Plato argues that justice is not simply a matter of following the laws of the city, but rather is something that must be based on the ideal state of the city. For Plato, the ideal state is one in which all citizens are able to participate in the ruling of the city.

  Emotional Exploitation - Taking...

  Cito Harder

  Emotional exploitation is a subtle yet deeply damaging form of manipulation that preys on a person's emotions to serve the interests of another. Unlike mutual emotional support, which fosters healthy relationships and personal growth, exploitation involves using someone’s feelings, vulnerabilities, or insecurities to gain control, compliance, or advantage. This can occur in personal relationships, the workplace, and even society at large, leaving individuals feeling powerless, confused, and emotionally drained. Understanding emotional exploitation is crucial to recognizing its effects, breaking free from its grasp, and preventing future manipulation. 
  At its core, emotional exploitation thrives on imbalance. The exploiter takes advantage of another person’s emotional investment, whether it be love, trust, guilt, or fear, while offering little or nothing in return. This dynamic can manifest in many ways, such as a friend who constantly seeks emotional support but disappears when others need help, a romantic partner who uses guilt to control decisions, or an employer who manipulates workers into unpaid overtime by making them feel obligated or ungrateful. Regardless of the setting, the pattern remains the same—one person’s emotions are weaponized to serve another’s self-interest. 
  One of the most harmful aspects of emotional exploitation is that it is often difficult to recognize while it is happening. Many individuals who are exploited rationalize the behavior of their manipulator, believing they are simply helping, being loyal, or fulfilling an obligation. Exploiters frequently use gaslighting, guilt-tripping, or shifting blame to make their targets question their own perceptions.

  Multisolving - Creating Systems...

  For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.That experience, along with the guidance of leaders in systems thinking and racial justice, convinced her that the world's thorniest problems may be easier to tackle together than one by one. That's multisolving: using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems at the same time. Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them.This unique resource is for local school boards that need revenue for their students but don't want to overtax low-income seniors. It is for nonprofits working to reduce food waste and combat the root causes of hunger while increasing racial justice. It is for seaside communities that can protect themselves from flooding while also improving biodiversity with a living coastline. It may also be for you: doing the work you know is imperative but that is sometimes overwhelming, a tiny drop in a swirling ocean.

  Am I Alone Here? - Notes on...

  Peter Orner

  "Stories, both my own and those I've taken to heart, make up whoever it is that I've become," Peter Orner writes in this collection of essays about reading, writing, and living. Orner reads and writes everywhere he finds himself: a hospital cafeteria, a coffee shop in Albania, or a crowded bus in Haiti. The result is a book of unlearned meditations that stumbles into memoir. 
   
   
   
  Among the many writers Orner addresses are Isaac Babel and Zora Neale Hurston, both of whom told their truths and were silenced; Franz Kafka, who professed loneliness but craved connection; Robert Walser, who spent the last twenty-three years of his life in a Swiss insane asylum, working at being crazy; and Juan Rulfo, who practiced the difficult art of silence. Virginia Woolf, Eudora Welty, Yasunari Kawabata, Saul Bellow, Mavis Gallant, John Edgar Wideman, William Trevor, and Václav Havel make appearances, as well as the poet Herbert Morris—about whom almost nothing is known. 
   
   
   
   
  An elegy for an eccentric late father, and the end of a marriage, Am I Alone Here? is also a celebration of the possibility of renewal. At once personal and panoramic, this book will inspire listeners to return to the essential stories of their own lives.
