While on lockdown, the galleries of Singapore’s iconic ArtScience Museum were empty — but online, the museum was abuzz.

    What I love about older museums apart from their exhibits is the architecture, specifically in the matter of their acoustics.
    The reverberations from the hard stone surfaces give me a sense of a space for quiet contemplation, unhindered by matters spiritual necessarily.

      That sound you hear is called “striving for perfection”. Striving for perfection is now a white priviledge thing according to BLM.

    What makes communities hurt so much that they need a healing process?

    • Wuhan Virus

      August 2, 2020 at 6:30 pm

      Democrat policies. They incentivize the breakup of the nuclear family. Having no father in the home is directly correlated with crime in the community.

      please be aware that the other commenter is referencing an outdated paper called the moynihan report that discredited the civil rights movement of the 60s by purporting that black families simply need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps compared to the “success” of asian immigrants. the report is flawed in that it disregards the unique climates, treatment, and (dis)placement that resulted in both groups living in the US under rather different conditions (the african diaspora thru slavery and systemic disenfranchisement versus selective asian immigration policies that favored workers, educated professionals, and refugees). for your question, the hardships of poverty, unemployment, families being affected by death and hospital bills, and increasingly extreme weather events are surely sources of community suffering felt worldwide

    • Wuhan Virus

      August 2, 2020 at 11:55 pm

      @Jesse Steiner Negative. I blame the Democrats for holding them down and INCENTIVIZING the destruction of the family.
      And btw. More Republicans voted for the civil rights act.

      @Jesse SteinerDid I say anything about black people. No. You did. I said there is no fathers in the home and you automatically jump to the black community.
      That’s racist. I’m done with you. I dont talk to racists.

      War, uprising, racism, corruption and issues with Indigenous like the Stolen Generation in Australia . In Australia museums have become a way to expose what has happened to Indigenous people as a way to create understanding and empathy.

When wildfires rage in California, incarcerated people are often on the front lines fighting the flames. TED Fellow Royal Ramey was one of them. He shares the story of how doing public service in prison inspired him to cofound the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, a nonprofit helping formerly incarcerated people become wildland firefighters — and find purpose along the way.

This question inspired chef Anthony Myint to go from opening buzzy pop-ups to pushing for a shift to regenerative farming practices in the food system. He explains how it didn’t go the way he expected at first — and how restaurants are now teaming up with farmers and eaters alike to restore the climate while serving up delicious food.
