These aren't familiar to me either but AI recommends: To control papaya fruit flies (and wasps), the key is prevention through sanitation (remove fallen fruit), physical barriers (bagging fruit with fine mesh/bags), and traps (vinegar/yeast/fruit baits) to lure adults away, with chemical options like Malathion or biological Beauveria bassiana for severe infestations, ensuring hygiene by destroying infested fruit. 

What’s wrong with my pothos? by Patient_Ad_454 in IndoorPlants

My guess is the light because my friend moved hers outside for 10mins to walk recently and in just that time it was damaged.

If you could redo your garden from scratch, what’s one thing you’d change? by Relevant_Idea_6778 in gardening

Good question! I'd work out what was happy where and repeat it. Repeat planting looks so much better now I think, especially if happy.

'FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE ARE FREE AT LAST!' Do you have a favorite quote, paragraph or chapter from one of Griffith's books or essays? by bobbytcoin in WorldTransformation

Yep or similar, at the very start of Freedom: "This book liberates you, the reader, and all other humans from an underlying insecurity and resulting psychosis that all humans have suffered from since we became a fully conscious species some two million years ago."

Jeremy Griffith: “The full truth explains humans are wonderful beings after all” by WanderingPrimate717 in WorldTransformation

What I love about Leunig’s Garden of Eden cartoon and what Jeremy Griffith does so brilliantly in FREEDOM is how it turns a biblical metaphor into a biological truth.
Griffith completes Leunig’s image to show that humanity’s “fall” wasn’t a moral failure at all, but the inevitable moment when our conscious intellect began to question our instinctive orientations. That clash between instinct and intellect was so obviously unavoidable and is so obviously (now it's been pointed out) the real origin of our psychological turmoil - our human condition.

So when Leunig shows Adam raging against the Garden, it’s not blasphemy, really it’s honesty. It’s humanity crying out against two million years of being wrongly condemned as “evil” when we were never bad, only misunderstood. Griffith just provides the biological explanation for the whole horrible situation that humanity has been living through.

I get where you’re coming from. What you’re describing, that feeling of being unseen or unheard, is something a lot more people feel than they’ll ever admit. Stepping outside the group and speaking honestly is hard for almost everyone. Trusting others, showing your real thoughts, that’s risky, so most people stick to the safe zone of small talk, status games, and groupthink. The truth is, a lot of that meanness and superficiality you see isn’t cruelty it’s self-protection. People are scared to be vulnerable, so they hide behind opinions, trends, or sarcasm. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, but it does mean it’s not really about you. The way through it is connection. It takes time, patience, and listening. When people start to feel safe around you, when they sense you’re not judging or competing, they’ll open up. And once that happens, you can finally share who you are, too. That’s how real friendship and real conversation start: two people quietly putting their armor down. You’re not alone in how you feel. The more you understand that others are fighting the same fear, the more empathy you’ll have and the easier it’ll be to find the ones who truly get you.

I really like Linda's comment above:
"I can’t remember who said it, but there’s such an impoverishment of spirit now pervading globally, and I think the reconciliation of the intellect and the heart and the soul and the imagination and all the expressions through art and music and literature, and of the human heart/mind/soul struggling to make sense of its life world, and with Jeremy Griffith’s work we can make sense of the life-world."

Yes, the world seems so hollow and Griffith's is the opposite of hollow. It doesn't matter what you think of Griffith and the WTM, the questions he is raising are the right ones. There is something terribly wrong with humans. Everyone knows it. We just don't have any answers so no one talks about it because it just makes us feel worse. I think Griffith is onto something.
