that's indeed one of the options

however, given the propensity to deliver comments on matters of common concern in general and in my diary those that are beside the issues raised in particular, not-commenting at all is the exception

for those willing (able?) to see, my diary efforts are being made to widen the traditional academic scope of perspectives and connect them with hands on operationalizations

always under the axiom that

• suffering is recognizable, widely shared and a trigger for others to offer relief. This axiom is chosen due to its potential for overcoming engrained paths of thought, creed, nationality, academic or other tribe, whatever
  
• operationalization of whatever urge comes from seeing suffering and not turn an blind eye is what imo is now at hand
  

The latter is riddled with pre conscious and subconscious nodes of comfort zone serving sabotage type urges. Since this is mostly not on the actors' radarscreen, an experienced sense of integrity makes a plea for more bold action easily dismissed

how intellectuals could engage themselves for the common good

, in my reply to ARgeezer, you can read how intellectuals represent our culture's true capital. When this capital is not set to work in these dire times, then we're shooting ourselves in the foot. And are culpable for doing so, as far as I'm concerned. But that is not inviting, so I'll refrain from sharing this uncomfortable feeling too widely.

our Planet needs all our capacities Sven; not hobby horse riding by people with superabundant brain activities

also interesting to note that I receive @'s from you all as that the angle represented here is considered worthy and stimulating. And also stating that posting that on ET would be, ehh, unproductive or thereabouts

fcol, we at ET are privileged and in concerted action we could move mountains, be a part of the solution
