Empathetic leaders are not enough when an organization’s systems, processes, and decisions telegraph a lack of caring. How are we adding up basically decent people into agglomerations where empathy seems to be in such short supply? Shaping empathic leaders is thus necessary but not sufficient. During these two consequential activities, employees or prospective employees expect empathy but often don’t experience it. In so many cases, organizations rely on individuals making empathic decisions on the fly in an array of situations.

Images created by AI are getting exponentially better, to the point where many people are unable to distinguish them from the real thing.

In Brazil's Bailique Archipelago, rising ocean levels and river changes disrupt local life. In short:Climate change and human activities are causing longer periods of salty water in Bailique, affecting the local economy and ecosystem. Government efforts to address these challenges have been inadequate, leading to a decline in the population and worsening living conditions. — Aurélio Marques, local boat pilotWhy this matters:As sea levels rise, saltwater seeps into freshwater ecosystems, drastically altering the habitat.

Nanotechnology's foray into agriculture with nano-enabled pesticides promises enhanced crop protection with minimal environmental impact, but raises significant environmental and health concerns. Martina G. Vijver and Tom Nederstigt write for The Conversation. Key quote:Many of the properties that improve the performance of nano-enabled pesticides in pest control may equally exacerbate their impacts on organisms other than the pests being targeted. — Martina G. Vijver and Tom Nederstigt, environmental scientistsWhy this matters:The shift toward nano-enabled pesticides in agriculture presents a precarious balancing act between striving for sustainability and safeguarding against unforeseen environmental and health risks.

It’s an unusual feeling, that sense of connectedness to something that happened long ago, before you were even alive to see it. Every year at Manchester Pride, once the vivid flashes of disco lights and vibrant music begin to fade, I attend the Candelit Vigil.

This is followed by a powerful, roaring applause, and later the bright colours of fireworks and confetti, choir singing triumphantly. There is a sense of a prevailing and resilient community, in memory of these wonderful, bright souls.

Like the word ‘sustainability’, hope sounds positive, but if it is just the hope that we can maintain (‘sustain’) our privileged western lifestyle, how positive is that? What kind of hope is based on ignoring evidence of collapse, or on fearing to consider its possibility? [1] We have seen the rise of #climatehoax and #climatescam while climate action has been painted as part of an authoritarian plot to steal our liberties. Maybe to act without hope is also to act without fear; a kind of liberation. We need to confront, to be allowed to confront, the sociopathic agenda this kind of hope is serving: I would characterise ‘hope’ like this as toxic.
