We're taught that "education ends bigotry," yet the worst homophobes I've known in my 70+ years were some of my teaching colleagues, followed closely by medical professionals, and electricians.

A quotation from Emerson

There is no virtue which is final; all are initial. The virtues of society are the vices of the saint. The terror of reform is the discovery that we must cast away our virtues, or what we have always esteemed such, into the same pit that has consumed our grosser vices.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Circles,” Essays: First Series, No. 10

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

   The total moral collapse of respectable society during the Hitler regime may teach us that under such circumstances those who cherish values and hold fast to moral norms and standards are not reliable: we now know that moral norms and standards can be changed overnight, and that all that then will be left is the mere habit of holding fast to something.
   Much more reliable will be the doubters and skeptics, not because skepticism is good or doubting wholesome, but because they are used to examine things and to make up their own minds.
   Best of all will be those who know only one thing for certain: that whatever else happens, as long as we live we shall have to live together with ourselves.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Essay (1964-08), “Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship,” The Listener Magazine

Pre-Doom remarks for the record: This is one of those things too absurd to be fictionally predicted by dystopian lit and cinema.

Still grappling with this new paradigm where #mores like “lack of qualification” and “corruption” don’t matter.

As a German I feel with you. I'm removed generations from Nazi Germany — born in the 60s. It is with mixed feelings to get Germany's past thrown in your face every day with the current sins of the US.

But if Germany's past as the ultimate baddies helps prevent some of the atrocities in this world, I'm good with it.

"The fish never discovers that it lives in the water. In fact, since he lives immersed in it, his life goes by without noticing its existence. Similarly, behavior that is normalized in a dominant cultural setting becomes invisible." — Michel Foucault — — — #MichelFoucault #quote #quotes #environment #culture #habit #normalized #invisible #mores #society #rules

Middlemarch, by George Eliot.
You are an unusual early 19th century young Englishwoman, who marries for intellect, thinking you will be welcomed into a life of the mind, but things don’t go well for you, or anyone else in town, really, as your generation’s ideas of reform, both social and political, bump into the wall of respectability that governs, and limits, all.

Het bestuur van Mores, het meldpunt voor ongewenst gedrag in de culturele sector, stapt op. Er komt een externe adviseur die een nieuw bestuur gaat vormen omdat het bestuur "zelf onderwerp van gesprek is geworden", staat in een verklaring. Dat is slecht voor het imago van het meldpunt en daarom treedt het bestuur terug.
