  1. @Professor_Stevens Public #education in the #UnitedStates has been failing for generations, that seems to be a consensus here, even if we disagree on #RootCauses.

    #Finland is not only ranked as the ‘happiest’ country, it is a world-leader in #PublicEducation. Coincidence? 🤔

    One part of their curriculum starting at a young age addresses the “commercial forces” that you cited as a #RootCause of disrespect for education in #American families. helsinkitimes.fi/themes/themes

  12. what do y'all think? : ""The biggest climate issue is a bunch of egotistical men who refuse to change," she says, referring to the heads of multinational corporations." - bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-

    i'm a cultural anthropologist (amateur), so my interest in her statement has less to do with "is she making an accurate statement" and more to do with: what is it that drives the desire to come up with 'the biggest issue with ___" or "the main problem with ___"? because there definitely is a desire to figure out the "root cause" of this thing (so that it can be "fixed"). but i don't know if that's possible.

    i used to have this desire myself! it drove my activism... and my lack of activism - because i "couldn't figure out the root cause". analysis paralysis is a consequence of this kind of "root cause" thinking.

    not to say that there aren't root causes (there may even be a root cause yet!), but that the search for a root cause can be a particular kind of activism failure mode. it's one that i think i was stuck in for way too long.

    and to be clear, i DO think it's important to look for root causes, i just don't know if there's a SINGLE root cause.

    i think that we are trapped in a tangled web that is
    - a systemic problem (a problem of systems that create outcomes regardless of which individual people are running the systems)
    - that is also a problem of a specific kind of masculinity (NOT a problem that's like something about men themselves as humans)
    - AND ALSO a problem of literal individual egotistical human men lol. (as today, kissinger death day, should remind us all.) sometimes it really does make the difference to remove literally 1 egomaniacal human man from a group situation. and sometimes that one man is fucking impossible to get at (especially since you can't get to them with guillotines anymore).
    - AND THAT ALSO has a bunch of other root causes like colonialism, slavery, human separation from nature, spiritual poverty, devaluing of animal and plant life, devaluing of the land, the concept of 'owning land', racism, heteronormativity, ableism, the legal system that protects corporations, the market system, the belief in and desire for hierarchies, the desire for an ordered and controlled world, "ends justify the means" thinking, and a million other things.

    i don't know if there's a way to get free of this web (i certainly feel very wrapped up in it), but i can still use my teeth to bite at the little pieces of web around me & my friends & the little piece of land around me!
