Immigration Essay Aired on NPR Station

My Fellow Americans! Today my essay regarding the Braver Angels immigration workshop aired today on KQED as part of the organization’s Perspectives series. You can listen here. If you find the essay helpful, or think listening might encourage others to join our civil discussion, please share! If you’ve an idea for an essay or letter to the editor regarding a civil discussion or depolarization…

"Persuasion becomes effective when you recognize the fact that you don’t really change what people believe. You speak to what they already believe. You show them how a larger understanding of reality is more consistent with the things that they truly believe, deep down, than the way they are seeing the world in that present moment. You begin to get at the deeper 'whys' behind people’s beliefs, and suddenly they can come to a new point of view through their own convictions. So much of what keeps us anchored in polarizing points of view is wanting to hold fast to the things we think have meaning. We can show each other that there is greater meaning to be found in connection, in relationship through understanding, through compassion and curiosity. Then suddenly we tap into people’s incentives for transcending where they are in favor of where they could be."

Plasma membrane K+ efflux channels are voltage-gated; that is they open only if the plasma membrane becomes depolarized.

For example, blue light induces a decrease in growth rate and a transient membrane depolarization in etiolated cucumber seedlings only after a lag time of about 25 s (Figure 16.15). (...) Another rapid response elicited by blue light is a depolarization of the membrane of hypocotyl cells that precedes the inhibition of growth rate (see Figure 16.15B).

wow, I really love how avant-gardely the answer boxes to this question are formatted

musing on some possible things regarding putting a boy thru various horrors

something something, kidnapped by the military to be experimented on and exploited. bonus muzzle because he bites.

mittens so he doesn't try to gouge open his surgical incisions (he would try, yes) but also so he can't remove the electronarcosis patch or collar, etc. Kind of a non-standard jumpsuit, but I figure he is a unique subject and they may choose to dress him in a uniquely identifying way (reflective stripe). Nylon hobbles vs. metal cuffs and waist chain just a matter of situation.

Modified DBS device to suppress powers via hyperpolarization of specific neurons in the anterior insular cortices, bilateral. Pulses can be used to cause temporary depolarization and trigger involuntary power activation.

epidural electrode grid over meta-motor cortex (fictional auxiliary part of the primary motor cortex) is normally off but can also be used to trigger powers in concert with insular pulses, or to overload his brain and create a massive burst of energy.

Military is also experimenting with ways to induce euphoria via ecstatic aura but so far that mostly just triggers a cascade of depolarization across both insulas, aka, an ecstatic seizure. like Dostoevsky. Oops! They're working on a way to prevent the transition from aura to seizure.

Anyway, TJ escapes, probably. Maybe destroys the entire facility. Probably kills a bunch of people either indirectly or directly.

goes all out on the weirdo front in his 30s, new tattoos, new piercings, DIY hair dye... probably a couple years after escape though. Interim is presumably mostly him being depressed and paranoid since he's like... a wanted fugitive...

Grows out his hair partly to cover up the lumps on his forehead and hide his surgical scars but also partly to "hide in plain sight" by looking pretty different to the average civilian.

Also because he's mildly nervous at the barber now.

also adopts a baby ferret and names her Zephyr. She's a silver panda color with Waardenburg syndrome, thus deaf. She's also a rescue and is very aggressive to other ferrets to TJ keeps her solo and she gets to free roam his bedroom (their bedroom) and sleeps on a pillow next to his head. TJ adores her and she's spoiled rotten. She makes him feel calm. He lets her ride in his hood when he vacuums.

Same wing tattoos as normal timeline but with different context of in part being used to cover up some of his scars and in part just to like, reclaim his personal and bodily autonomy.

EEG I decided even if he destroys the facility there's a non-zero chance he ends up with some copies of some of his tests including brain scans, so I decided he could get that on the back of his neck. X tattoo behind ear also reclamation of the body (location of electronarcosis sticker)

Cracked skull on shoulder because he's Edgy (I just thought it would look nice)

Unlike Lilith, does not keep his dye job touched up. Speaking of Lilith, not sure what their relationship status is at this point. TJ is a little bit antisocial, so. idk.

It’s crazy how much my school stumbles over itself to take the centrist position to everything but stays just clear of taking a side and making it clear they’re in support of their minority students 🙄🙄

I'm always shocked by the amount of neoliberals on here that want to talk down to our Muslim brothers and sisters who did not vote for the blue flavor of genocide for their families back home. Like do you not understand the sacrifice?

I had to stop being friends with somebody who wanted an easy scapegoat for Donald Trump and his victory, so she sent me a bunch of things about how it was the Hispanics who brought him on us. Factually and statistically false. We no longer talk.

I am begging you guys in this time when community is going to be so important, to talk to your friends who couldnt vote all the way up the ticket and find out WHY. Where is that 46% of Americans who didnt vote for president coming from? Can you understand them?

took all day but figured out how i want to do power dampeners in scratchverse lol

Win-WIN: Take the 2025 New Year's Depolarization Challenge

Consider adding this to your New Year's resolutions: depolarizing America. It's up to you and me!

Dear Fellow Americans, The political polarization in our country seems so unwieldy that common people like you and I can feel like there’s no way to change the situation. Happily, I’m here to say that’s not so. As the popular affirmation states, “We can only control TWO things in our lives: our attitude and our effort.” And our attitude and our effort prove to be very powerful. With that in…

Contrary to expectations, nuclear, rather than cytoplasmic, cry1 molecules were found to meditate blue light-mediated changes in membrane depolarization.

Gonna be wild to watch leftists react to this new world of racial depolarization. Just the knowledge that white, Latino, Asian, Arab, and Native men all voted majority for Trump, and only Black and Jewish men didn't. Leftism in America is not prepared at all for racial depolarization. Academia certainly isn't. We're living in Wild West times.

It's going to be brutal.
