White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism is a book written by Robin DiAngelo about modern race relations in the United States. An academic with experience in diversity training, DiAngelo coined the term "white fragility" to describe what she views as any defensive instincts or reactions that a white person experiences when questioned about race or made to consider one's own race.
Author Robin Jeanne DiAngelo
In White Fragility, DiAngelo views racism in the United States as systemic and often perpetuated subconsciously (below conscious awareness, aka implicit bias) by individuals. She recommends against viewing racism as committed intentionally by "bad people" and instead advocates for seeing it for what it is. More
In our second investigation, Ms. Denny gets out of hand because she is hiding multiple identification documents. She shoplifts then wants to pay for the items, even though the clerk has previously refused the sale. She's bouncy and privileged with enough of a sense of entitlement that "Phil Lincoln," presumably the aggressive police officer responding to the call, gets tired of it very quickly and takes her down that results in broken glass from a bottle of stolen alcohol and charges of resisting arrest without violence in addition to petty theft.
Not to be judgmental about those males who have an Oedipal complex, sexually fantasizing about their own biological mothers (like females who harbor an Electra complex), but c'mon. This seems biologically repugnant and gross, not to say it is. Maybe we are just trained by our society to regard it so, as seems to be the case in all societies. There seems something built into the human experience to give us a natural aversion to incest, which may be nothing more than the very powerful "familiarity breeds contempt." If we grow up with someone, see too much of them, it seems natural we are not interested sexually in them. This seems to hold most of the time. There are aberrations, of course. But who is for this? Who is for incest? It is hard to believe that it appears to be such a strong feature of the Judeo-Christian mentality. "Judeo-Christian" is a made-up term, invented for Zionist Jewish Israeli hasbara or propaganda to conflate American culture with Jewish culture on account of shared roots through the embrace of Christianity by many WASPs and Europeans. Jews, particularly biblical ones, may be all right with incest, judging from Bible stories, and a strong patriarchal attitude, but do Christian patriarchs feel the same? Are no children in such families safe? Why would it be more prevalent, or seem to be more prevalent, in the South? (We're looking at you, West Virginia). Is it lack of opportunity? Is everyone related? Is it in the zeitgeist so people just go with it? What is going on?

In Buddhism, the fifth precept is to abstain from intoxicants like alcohol (beer and liquor), drugs, and other [12, 13] things that occasion heedlessness. Early Buddhist Texts nearly always condemn alcohol, and so do Chinese Buddhist post-canonical texts. Smoking that leads to craving is sometimes also included here.
Right action is an important start on the Path
In modern times, traditional Buddhist countries have seen revival movements to promote the basic Five Precepts the Buddha pointed out as longstanding sources of grievous suffering (karma or deeds producing unwelcome results). As for the West, these precepts play a major role in Buddhist organizations. They have also been integrated into mindfulness training programs, though many new mindfulness specialists do not support this because of the precepts' religious import. Lastly, many conflict prevention programs make use of the precepts. Five Precepts

WARNING: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring: There shallow thoughts intoxicate the brain" - the Great Alexander Pope (reddit)
O, those Greeks of Macedonia were something
This is in reference to the spring in the Pierian Mountains in Macedonia, sacred to the Muses. The first line of this couplet is often misquoted as "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
In Greek mythology, the "Pierian Spring" of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia was sacred to the mythological Pierides and the Muses. As the metaphorical source of knowledge of art and science, it was popularized by a couplet in Pope's 1711 poem An Essay on Criticism:
WQ says no such thing. What we say is that, in an ultimate sense, "self" (soul, ego, atman, atta, spirit) is impersonal.
So there IS a "self"?
In a conventional sense, of course there is! How else would we live in a squiggly universe without a sense of our boundaries demarcating where we end and others start?
Oh, so I don't have to give everything away, join a commune, and do whatevers my Guru tells me to?
Ugh, no, you do not. Be yourself. Think. Practice. Buddhism only makes sense for those who practice the Dhamma, not the debaters or scholars of it.
Wait, then, so I'm as "real" as this chair? - Yes.
EGO DEATH is a "complete loss of subjective self-identity" [1]. The term is used in various contexts, with related meanings.
The 19th-century psychologist and philosopher William James uses the synonymous term "self-surrender." Jungian psychology uses the synonymous term "psychic death," referring to a fundamental transformation of the psyche (soul) [2].
So I can be responsible with a career? - Yes.
In death and rebirth explanations, ego death is a phase of self-surrender and transition [3, 4, 5, 6] as described by mythologist Joseph Campbell in his research on the "Hero's Journey" [3].
It is a recurrent theme in world mythology and is also used as a metaphor in some strands of contemporary Western thinking [6].
In descriptions of drugs, the term is used synonymously with "ego loss" [7, 8, 1, 9] to refer to temporary loss of one's sense of having a self due to the use or abuse of drugs [10, 11, 1], be they negative (deluded) hallucinogens or positive (pro-realization) entheogens.
The term was used as such by Harvard Dr. Timothy Leary and others [1] to describe the death of the ego [12] in the first phase of an LSD trip, in which a "complete transcendence" of the self [Note 1] occurs.
Did the Grateful Dead know about this?
The concept is also used in contemporary New Age spirituality and in the modern understanding of ancient Eastern religions (such as Nondualism/Advaita/Oneness) to describe a permanent loss of "attachment to a separate sense of self" [Web 1] and self-centeredness [13] (egoism, egotism, selfishness, conceit).
This kind of conception is a part of Eckhart Tolle's Buddhist-like teachings, where Ego is presented as an accumulation of thoughts and emotions, continuously identified with [and clung to], which creates the idea and feeling of being a separate entity from one's self, and only by disidentifying one's consciousness from it can one truly be free from suffering [14].

Life: break us to wake us? DRUNK

The fifth of the Five Precepts the Buddha advised humans to adopt is to abstain from intoxicants that occasion heedlessness such as alcohol, drugs, and such substances [12, 13].
The Five Precepts (guidelines for morality, virtue, human ethics, harmlessness, ahimsa) are called pañca-sīla, binding on all Buddhist laypeople. They are to abstain and refrain from:
killing any living being
stealing (taking what is not given)
sexual misconduct
false speech (which means speaking falsehoods or lying and malicious speech, harsh speech, and frivolous speech or "animal talk"* mislabeled as gossip)
the use of intoxicants (such as beer and spirits or surāmeraya).
Early Buddhist texts nearly always condemn alcohol as do Chinese Buddhist later post-canonical texts (of the Mahayana tradition).
Smoking is sometimes also included here.
In modern times, traditional Buddhist countries have seen revival movements to promote the Five Precepts, the least good karma if we hope to ever be reborn on the human plane again and avoid the subhuman planes.
In the West, the precepts play a major role in Buddhist organizations. They have also been integrated into mindfulness training programs -- though many modern "mindfulness" specialists, having changed the definition of "mindfulness" (which the Buddha called sati) to something that better suits them -- do not support this because of the precepts' spiritual religious import.
Lastly, many conflict prevention programs make use of the precepts. More
What do we do when drinking other than "animal talk"?
Back off, Bich! - Don't call me 'bich,' Birdbrain!
*What is "animal talk"? It is lowly speech, literally "beastly talk," the name the sutras (ancient texts) give for the following: "Talk about:
