I didn't see Cuba in the big overview visualization where Sri Lanka and Vietnam seem like Outliers. From glances at FoodFirst articles about hunger and AgroEcology I have this image the Cuba does pretty well. #PaulFarmer mentioned that Cuba is a model for managing poverty relatively well, the Nordic countries are models for managing wealth.. Why is #Cuba so bad on CO2 emissions? Tourism? And what is #LandUseChange? I bet they'd do better without the #USA #embargo.

> .. the experience of suffering.. is not.. conveyed by statistics or graphs.. the suffering of the world's poor intrudes.. rarely into the consciousness of the affluent, even when our #affluence may be shown to have direct relation to their #suffering. This is true.. when spectacular human rights violations are at issue, and it is.. more true when the topic.. is the everyday violation of social and #EconomicRights..

The #Christian ideals of #PaulFarmer in TraceyKidder's book comes to mind too.

@WorldNewsTop@mastodon.social DemocracyNow! mentioned #RanaAyyub too. #ArundhatiRoy wrote movingly about the #Gujarat #pogrom or #massacre overseen by #NarendraModi too. #Arundhati mentioned that #Modi celebrated his birthday at the #NarmadaValley #dams that destroy the livelihoods of millions of people.. #PaulFarmer and his view of dams and health hasn't been able to stop the big money yet.. SAD!

' "…he combined a very fierce intellect with just an absolutely expansive heart and generosity and a real enthusiasm and joy for service and fellowship that was unparalleled. At the same time, he had impossibly high standards — high standards for medicine, that everyone should get a very First World care, that there is no First, Second and Third World, high standards for #dignity.”...

"「権力の病理」はファーマーの怒りの告発書である。彼はぼくらの意識が「遠くにある」貧者に対して弱すぎると怒る。健康と医療は万人にとっての権利、人権であるが、多くの人はそれを奪い取られている。その遠因は貧困にある。貧困は構造的権力、権力という暴力装置がもたらしたものである。この暴力は真自由主義がドライブしている。アメリカのような強欲な先進国がそれをドライブしている。ポストモダンな価値相対主義が看過している。多くのコンベンショナルな人類学者も、倫理学者も、医療者も、人権団体も、看過している。看過してはならない。現実を深く観察し、分析し、対策をとらねばならない。貧困を、病気を許容してはならない。全ての人を貧困と病から開放するべきである。ファーマーの鋭い舌鋒がぼくらののど元にするどく襲いかかる。"

#Aravinda's article about dams and illiteracy brings together #PaulFarmer on a #dam in #Haiti, and abuse of #MinamataDisease patients by #IshiharaShintaro. I read the article years ago (on Zcomm Znet) and it kept coming to mind even during those years when I couldn't find it again.

"Dr. Farmer attracted public renown with “Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World,” a 2003 book by Tracy Kidder that described the extraordinary efforts he would make to care for patients, sometimes walking hours to their homes to ensure they were taking their medication."
