Urgently Addressing Immorality - Part E

The Revolutionary Climatological Needlepoint Committee hopes you have your climate courtesy credential handy.

Where do you usually place them?

How well have you prepared for COP26, and how do you know? 

How will you be protecting your brain, your mind, your reputation, and your credentials?

What, in fact, are your climate courtesy credentials and how relevant will they be over the next few weeks?

Which design have you chosen for a physical, digital and political helmet to protect yourself from harm?

Perhaps you associate urgency with quickness, and even with rushing, yet urgency must always be addressed with proper understanding.

If you have designed your helmet properly, with or without assistance, it will probably fit you comfortably.  It will also most likely have a suitable face shield attached and an practical pivot mechanism.

You will certainly also require a properly courteous face mask.  You may possibly even require a balaclava, protective gloves and a lightweight blanket.

Please read all the preparatory notes again carefully, in between cleaning, eating, sleeping, and other necessary practices.

Always remember that caring properly also includes caring for yourself properly, but not excessively.

Do ensure you live and travel as lightly as possible.

Do not gamble or otherwise take unnecessary risks.

Do your best to attain, retain and convey wisdom.

Display appropriate respect for bluestockings and lovely green leggings.

Try to ensure, at all times, that you distinguish clearly between myths, legends and verifiable facts.

The best way to address immorality, whether urgently or otherwise, is to maintain your own morality at all times, in all places.

That will be the most suitable expression of your leadership, of course.

Addressing any remnants of your prior immorality should certainly be an urgent priority for you.

Only suitably moral persons are appropriately qualified for the task of holding powerful people properly to account.

What, then, is suitable morality?

And how have you already acquired it as part of your climate courtesy credentials?

In many cities and towns, all around the world, at any time of year, you are likely to find hot air, hopeful heirs and horrible hotels.

But what will you find in terms of morality and immorality, and how, and where?

Your definition of climate courtesy is even more important than the design of your political helmet.

Clear definitions are essential when attempting to overcome various forms of immorality.

How do you usually acquire definitions?

When attempting to address any type of immorality, whether through legislation or less forceful persuasion, how do you define the immoral?

When is discourtesy immoral, from your point of view, and when is it actually quite necessary?

When, for example, is political satire absolutely required and when is it inappropriate?

If you are preparing for the long-term future appropriately, you will have already answered all the questions here to the best of your limited ability.

If you believe your abilities are unlimited, you are obviously deluded and possibly even somewhat immoral.

How have you acquired an acquaintance with cultural diffusion and cultural dissonance?

How have you attempted to overcome your own ethnocentrism, and how successfully, and by which methods?

How have you attempted to clarify your cultural identity in an age of considerable climate change, societal change, political change and economic change, whatever your current age may be? 

Where and what have you been exploring, whether physically, virtually or intellectually, in the quest for a civilised atmosphere?

If you have already found that atmosphere, in accordance with your own definitions and specifications, where is it located, and have you attempted to make your home there?

How have you defined a civilised atmosphere, both scientifically and culturally, and upon which evidence?

You may already know why COP26 will inevitably be crap.

Most of the attendees are likely to know nothing about true civility, climate courtesy, quality of life, appropriate design, necessary anonymity, natural usefulness, proper conservation, or sensible syncretism.

Most of the attendees are likely to be at the event mainly for their own, personal advancement, whether politically, socially, academically or economically.  They are unlikely to be there mainly to support the survival of civility itself.
