Comment on: Blog Post 'THE FAILURE of OUR LORDS & MASTERS TO ACT...': forfeit $11 billion. Last November, at the end of a month-long trial, Bankman-Fried—known colloquially as SBF—was found guilty of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy in connection with the collapse of FTX. The exchange had fallen to pieces in November 2022 after running dry of funds with which to process customer withdrawals. The money was missing, the jury concluded, because Bankman-Fried had conducted an elaborate fraud whereby billions of dollars’ worth of user funds was swept into a sibling company and used to bankroll high-risk trading, venture bets, debt repayments, personal loans, political donations, and a lavish life in the Bahamas. In a court filing, the US government described the affair as “one of the largest financial frauds in history.” Bankman-Fried had demonstrated “unmatched greed and hubris” and a “brazen disrespect for the rule of law,” it said. https://www.wired.com/story/sam-bankman-fried-sentenced-ftx-fraud/…; Added by Michael Grove at 13:09 on March 29, 2024

Comment on: Blog Post 'THE SAPPHIRE REVELATION': RE, over which Queen Victoria ruled with an iron fist of discipline, forever committed to her own soul-mate connection with Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Unfortunately that 'iron fist of discipline' precluded Victoria as Queen, from the inter-personal relationships with others and particularly her children, which are best alluded to by Muriel Rukeyser, in her Speed of Darkness poems. As the Goodreads synopsis states ... In an essay on the poet Muriel Rukeyser, Adrienne Rich writes that Rukeyser "was one of the great integrators, seeing the fragmentary world of modernity not as irretrievably broken, but in need of societal and emotional repair." …; Added by Michael Grove at 6:30 on April 23, 2015

Comment on: Blog Post 'WHAT IF THE LOVE of BUILDING on BILDUNG...': ystems theory on the one hand, and on the other, a currently emerging initiative called Global Balance which aims to move human civilisation into a more co-operative way of behaving, bringing all parts of the system into balance for a sustainable future. It concludes that the emergence of a global system designed to meet the needs of all, is a natural part of the evolution of the human species. By learning from evolutionary biology, social change agents can create the natural design that will allow human civilisation to develop its next scale of co-operation "... I would applaud the fact that he has published his integral take on the world of work and have downloaded a Kindle edition of his "WHY WORK?" and shall of course keep people updated accordingly, on his views of that which I believe is particularly important for my soulmate and I's own children and their children's children. An Experiment in a Complex Change Initiative In 2009 we engaged in the 2020 Climate Leadership Campaign, led by the State of the World Forum, and aiming to engage policy makers, business and citizens in a commitment to achieve 80% CO2 reduction by 2020. We worked on a three-day event that ended up being about 240 people from different sectors of society and different countries, 90 international and the rest were Brazilians, a mix of context and sectors of society, and a mix of age groups. So quite a diverse group of people looking to create some coherence – not just connection to a vision although that’s a very important prerequisite but a shared framework for collaboration on what we need to work on. 80% reduction in CO2 from pre-industrial levels by 2020 was an ambitious target, one which none of the political community are really talking realistically about but which a significant percentage of the scientific community say is what actually needs to happen if we’re going to keep the planet under 2 degrees warming. When we got there, we were challenged by the location, which wasn’t ideal, as well as by the leadership of the initiative which was very emergent, to put it politely – moving targets, changing contexts, a changing landscape pretty quickly. There was little which we could rely on as being fixed, down to the last minute really. We were designing and adapting on the fly as we went. In the design team itself, of course, there were different interest and perspectives. People get to meet each other a few days before the event and then we have a pre- design. We had to get to know each other and get a process that would work for the diversity of participants and the ambitious goals of the campaign. …; Added by Michael Grove at 12:19 on December 20, 2019

Comment on: Blog Post 'THE Chinese goddess of COMPASSION': s compassion for myself in another form. It’s another self-compassion method. Imagine the pain you feel when you see someone else suffering — the suffering you feel is real suffering, just as the other person is suffering. Yet, most people don’t actually ease that suffering in themselves. So, how do you ease that suffering in yourself when you see someone else suffering? You reach out, empathize, make a connection, and look for a way to reduce the other person’s suffering, and your own. If the other person opens up, that’s great. If not, that’s OK, because you’ve reached out and let them know that you too suffer when you see them suffer. That’s a powerful thing. And so your ease your own suffering, and it’s a selfish sort of compassion. But that’s the only kind there is. …; Added by Michael Grove at 8:09 on May 11, 2013
