    Oh I know back problems very well. Hope you're feeling better. Climate/environmental changes are definitely some of the most important issues we need to address. Overpopulation is also another important issue. So many hospitals can't keep up with the level of medical care needed to care for the citizens of our larger cities. The list goes on and on. I love these videos Mary Jane, thanks for taking the time to give us reason to reflect and think. And sorry about your broken window and plumbing issues. My friend Scott does all my handy work, from plumbing, to construction, and he doesn't ask for too much money.

    Yes, I'm with you Mary, on dealing with the important matters that will face us all.
    On a smaller scale, I've always tried to deal with my own problems in a similarly systematic manner... and that's by being... or at least trying to be practical, about any pending issues that will need my attention.
    Other things may seem more appealing to put one's energies towards, but this requires a form of discipline that reaps it's own rewards in the long run.
    I would suggest that most people are fairly reactionary when it comes to this sort of thing, and their reward centers will usually dictate many of their responses.
    It's something that requires a shift of thinking... but is oh so worth the effort!.
    But as with you... procrastination is definitely one of the things that I'm always fighting against... and I'm not sure what that's about... because It's something that I'm always very critical of, in regards to myself!.
    So don't feel that you're alone in dealing with this particular paradox, as it kind of defies sensible logic to a degree!.

    • @WhatashameMaryJane
      @WhatashameMaryJane  Год назад +2

      Since you mention being practical, I wonder: isn't being "practical" exactly caring for the urgent tasks? Doesn't dealing with long term tasks a good dose of idealism? Just a matter I thought about while reading your comment.

      Absolutely. We need a standardized basic income for the elderly. One that takes effect early enough so that the transition from a full job (30 to 40 hours a week + 30 days vacation) to 70%, 50% - 30% to max 12.5 hours/week from age 64.
      All of us: Technically, there are partly well-founded 'assumptions', which refer to a maximum, regular daily working time of NOT more than 4 hours a day.
      So we not only work too much, we also get too little for it. Religious freedom is one of the aspects that first come to mind at this point.
      In addition we should include people affected by neurodiversity to at least 100% basic income, guaranteed by the state.

    Per le termiti ti suggerisco di bere due grappe, vestirti da Sbilf e suonare il Piffero..le termiti verranno irrimediabilmente attratte dal suono e ti seguiranno ovunque..per i problemi alla schiena e alla cervicale io lavorando al pc ti consiglio di cercare rimedi (ginnastica a corpo libero) perchè sul lungo periodo abbasseranno parecchio il livello qualitativo della tua vita. Per gli altri problemi io credo chiederei un consulto per le termiti (anche se il rimedio che ti ho consigliato è molto valido) per capire se hanno già intaccato pesantemente le fondamenta e in questo caso porre subito rimedio.Per quello che riguarda il video in generale io cerco di stilare una sorta di scaletta mentale dei vari problemi e delle priorità e dedico un tot di tempo ad ognuno di essi percentualizzandolo in base al livello di gravità . Per il resto la mia opinione è che le 2 maggiori ricchezze nella vita siano il tempo e la felicità.. le attuali dinamiche del mondo tendono a renderci frenetici,egoisti e competitivi facendoci perdere di vista il concetto base, ovvero l'essere tutti compagni di un viaggio senza meta in cui chi sostiene d'avere la mappa se l'è disegnata da solo. Forse basterebbe solo rallentare, ascoltarsi e darsi una mano a vicenda per capire che non conta arrivare primi ma godersi la corsa.

  • @ChiccoMusic12
    @ChiccoMusic12 Год назад

    Credo che storicamente sia sempre stato cosi. Finchè i problemi non ci toccano nel quotidiano non gli dedichiamo tempo nè attenzione. O almeno la maggioranza di noi non lo fa. Ci vuole conoscenza e lungimiranza, nonchè una coscienza matura e una forte assunzione di responsabilità collettiva. Certo non si può risolvere il problema ambientale senza un coordinamento fra stati a livello globale, viste le implicazioni economiche. Credo che si continueranno a fare piccoli passi poco rilevanti finchè il problema non diventerà troppo evidente e a quel punto potrebbe essere troppo tardi. La guerra in Ucraina, e molti altri fatti quotidiani, ci mostrano come il problema ambientale scivoli in fondo alle priorità di fronte a problemi culturali, sociali, economici o politici ritenuti più importanti. Si potrebbe allora dire: vabbè, ma io cosa posso fare nel quotidiano? Eh, bella domanda. E a cosa servirebbe? Tralasciando Cina, USA e India che sono delle autentiche discariche, perfino un paese moderno e ricco come la Germania dipende ancora dal carbone. Il Dio denaro purtroppo sembra sempre molto più convincente di pezzi di polo nord che si sbriciolano ed inverni sempre più miti. Quella climatica è un'autentica guerra globale da combattere ogni giorno, a tutti i livelli, affinchè diventi la priorità più importante e urgente, come dici tu.

    • @WhatashameMaryJane
      @WhatashameMaryJane  Год назад

      Eppure noi in Italia i problemi climatici li tocchiamo con mano, altroché. La scorsa estate tutte le regioni sono state affette da siccità. Nonostante ciò, si è parlato di stratagemmi per garantirsi un'adeguata quantità d'acqua per questa prossima estate e per le poche estati a venire, piuttosto che ragionare su prevenire che il problema si ripresenti e peggiori in futuro.
      Per quanto riguarda il cosa può fare uno nel quotidiano, direi che nel tuo caso già prendersi il tempo per riflettere su questo tema e scrivere un commento pubblico a tal proposito rientra nelle azioni a favore di una soluzione.

      @@WhatashameMaryJane eh, come vedi si tappano i buchi ma il problema rimane sempre li. E per risolverlo non bastano incentivi, bonus e rimedi temporanei, serve un coordinamento globale. Abbiamo ancora gente come Trump che dice che il riscaldamento globale non esiste, o come Bolsonaro che disbosca la foresta amazzonica per interessi economici. Questi qui sono appoggiati da metà degli elettori dei loro paesi. La situazione è complicata, per usare un eufemismo. Certo non serve guardare molto in la, con la pianura padana che è il luogo più inquinato d'Europa. Credo che sia fondamentale entrare nell'ottica del dover rinunciare a qualcosa. Per esempio gli aumenti sul gas avrebbero potuto ridurre bruscamente i consumi. Sono scesi solo del 10%, perchè chi ha soldi paga quel che deve pagare e sta con 24 gradi in casa, alla faccia del riscaldamento globale. Le auto elettriche, finché non abbiamo una produzione energetica totalmente rinnovabile (che allo stato attuale è un'utopia) sono inutili o quasi, gli allevamenti intensivi e le industrie sono un altra fetta grandissima di inquinamento, ma chi li ferma? La politica deve muoversi, ma le priorità sono sempre altre. Insomma, un bel casino.
