I recently learnt that executive dysfunction can be broken down into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won’t be satisfactory, or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps. As much as we feel bad about it, it’s extremely important to remember that it is NOT laziness and we in fact shouldn’t feel bad.

hey reblog this instead

I wasn’t very kind to myself for a really long time and I’m trying to learn that now. So do what you need to do, and push yourself, but also forgive yourself if you fuck it up, or if you’re struggling.

I don’t think people realize the claims “world poverty has decreased” and “world hunger has decreased” rely entirely on how poverty and hunger are defined by whomever is collecting the data, not empirical improvement, and that’s how measuring both can be skewed to support a certain narrative.

As of now global poverty is most popularly identified by the World Bank using an international poverty line, which is a set amount of income said to represent the state of poverty around the world. The World Bank’s IPL is an income of $1.90 a day. According to that, someone is counted as above extreme poverty if they earn more than $1.90 a day. This paints an extremely inaccurate picture of global poverty, as I’ve outlined before, because it is based on absolute destitution, so a person earning above $1.90 a day has not been brought out of poverty at all. In fact, someone could earn a lot above this number and still live in destitution, because affordability of resources is different in every country—and this is done on purpose, the IPL was created as a (lazy) way out of calculating by country and area.

I’ve summarized and sourced all of this info and more already, but I will never shut up about it until people stop uncritically supporting the idea that economics is natural law.

Hey let’s bring this back in light of Bill Gates getting backlash because he’s done much worse for “philanthropy”.
