Talking about Humanism - in all it's forms

I had the pleasure of speaking with Damien AtHope - who is an axiological atheist, which means - he's an atheist who is primarily concerned with values. And - the values he lives by - are Humanist values.

We spoke for about 1 1/2 hours about a lot of things. Art, Science, Our journeys to Humanism. Our hopes for the future and more.

Leo Igwe - On Humanism

Video of Leo Igwe - on Humanism - really powerful discussion on why we need to be courageous and willing to take responsibility for our own lives.

Leo Igwe works to end a variety of human rights violations that are rooted in superstition, including witchcraft accusations, anti-gay hate, caste discrimination and ritual killing in Africa. I have corresponded with him for years - this talk - is wonderful. He talks about why Humanism is important for human progress.

Standing Tall

I just published a book on bullying called, The BullyVaccine.  I was talking to my son about bullying the other day since I’ve taught him the skills I teach in the book and he said, it’s important to stand strong and have courage.

I agree. The problem is, how does one do that?  It isn’t’ easy.  As I was pondering this concept of standing tall, I realized something important. Standing up for yourself doesn’t mean you get violent or demean the person you are standing up to.

Yes, you are defying them, but the best way to stand tall is to stand up, look your oppressor right in the eye and basically say – you don’t scare me and no, I’m not going to stoop to your level. It’s an act of compassionate non-compliance.

It isn’t about fighting back. It’s about declaring that you aren’t going to play the game a bully is playing anymore. And that’s why standing up is such an act of courage.

I don’t think it’s just kids that need to learn this lesson. It’s the adults as well.

Here is a video of my son talking about bullying.
