We're Solving Society

  What Our Project is Going to Require   WE’RE SOLVING SOCIETY I am one woman committed to solving social problems, hoping to put a few names after mine for this organization.  How it works Specify what problems have hit you directly. Answer all required questions. Wait for triage, and think about what you would like to contribute. Spread the word so we can get funding going.  Get an interview.  Consent or do not to having your interview published.  Contribute or do not to a proposed solution. Consider donating your skills or sign up for the compensated waitlist once our Transparent Budget is online and able to be properly distributed.  Decide if you want to be an acknowledged or anonymous contributer.  WSS believes that we are currently undergoing a crisis due to national inaction. We have decided to take these issues into our hands. Currently WSS is a volunteer freelance organization with very limited funding, but we will be allocating funds to ...

Performative Nonchalance and Apathy: A Reflection on Addiction, Ethos, and Power Struggles in Honor of Earth Day

  I recently  just read an article  from WRCBtv.com where a police officer, Sergeant Ker Yang states (in regards to Chauvin) that police officers were “trained to appear confident, stay calm and avoid staring or eye contact.” Simultaneously, we see the statement “he appears altogether unconcerned with the desperation and agony just below him” and that “this wasn’t the face of fear or concern or worry.” Yet, obviously, he had complete cau s e to worry — he repressed it. He lost his job, he made a horrifying mistake. It doesn’t matter how excellent his performance of nonchalance was, he indeed had every right to be terrified and luckily for us, some semblance of justice was served. Why, do you think, might this be? As part of deescalation tactics, many officers are trained to downplay the weight of the situation or pretend to be unworried or nonchalant. For instance, when things are going really poorly for a top official, this might be the exact moment where he may laugh, d...

A Catch-22 It's Hard to Miss: C's Get Degrees and Affinity Bias

  In college, I once met a straight A student. She was very serious and diligent about her work, knew   h ow to keep the perfect course load, and would often cry when she was scraping too close to a B. I still remember her fondly, as she had a very good understanding of her time and energy budget. However, I do remember one thing she said to me that sticks out, “You’re really brave going into STEM.” This was back before I relegated my cognitive neuroscience degree to a minor in favor of philosophy after suffering from burnout in addition to actually and genuinely loving philosophy more. I never asked her what she meant by that. I was not a straight C student, in fact I averaged A’s and B’s until I had to take a depression leave — twice. I double majored while working multiple jobs, and I didn’t have anyone teaching me about the impossibility of that from an energy economics standpoint. I’m not afraid to talk about that — student burnout and depression are real, and I wish more...
