It’s not all in your head: are you being gaslit?

You protested. The protestations were greeted with, ‘That’s crazy’, ‘It’s not a big deal’, ‘You’re overreacting.’ Somehow you endured. But the very fact of your survival then became woven into the rewriting of history, to confirm the minimising and denials and later repression. (‘Well, you survived, didn’t you?’, ‘It all worked out in the end’ or ‘That was just a blip.’) So, at no point during it did someone (or perhaps someone did, but not enough, or perhaps just not the people most dear to you) look at you and confirm the reality of the horror with which you were dealing. To the contrary, they said you’re crazy for being upset and over-sensitive, and any difficulty you might have was ‘all in you’. That’s what gaslighting is like. Source link

Men Behind Arctic Doomsday Seed Vault Win World Food Prize

(DES MOINES, Iowa) — As Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin began thinking about ways to prevent starvation and protect the world's food supply, they came up with what Fowler called “the craziest idea anybody ever had” — a global seed vault built into the side of an Arctic mountain.About 20 years ago, Fowler, now the U.S. special envoy for Global Food Security, and Hawtin, an agricultural scientist from the United Kingdom, envisioned the so-called “doomsday vault” as a backup spot for seeds that could be used to breed new crops if existing seed banks were threatened by wars, climate change or other upheaval. On Thursday, officials in Washington announced that Fowler and Hawtin would be named 2024 World Food Prize laureates for their work.“To a lot of people today, it sounds like a perfectly re...
