Turkish Tuesdays, Hakan:Muhafiz/The Protector, s1e9, and a Lesson in Humility (vs. Empathy…)

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

What do we learn from season 1, episode 9, and then, my impressions of this episode?

Lessons:
1.) Sometimes, “a little knowledge is dangerous.
   Charging in where angels fear to tread is plain stupid, without knowing the whole story.  Humility, it seems to me, is a combination of knowing what you might not know, and having the empathy to be able to imagine that someone else might actually know more than you do, from long hard experience.  Oh, wait, that is humility, no?

Greenpeace USA was at the meeting in Kingston, Jamaica of the International Seabed Authority (ISA) and has been sounding alarm bells since it began. The meeting ended last Friday, April 1, 2022. The ISA’sconcluding press releasestates, quite bluntly, what the main order of business was:

The ISA Council meetings focused on the draft Regulations on exploitation of mineral resources in the Area.

This threatened plunge (literally) into the depths of the ocean to extract minerals, without understanding or recognizing the science or the expected devastating environmental impact, would be irreversible and impossible to repair or restore.
