BITS & PIECES
I collect interesting information, thoughts and visual inspiration throughout my day, which I save here. Below, you’ll find insights from books, a wide array of images and links to varied sites. especiallyI enjoy browsing through past highlights.

I think that what we were being taught was less a body of knowledge than a way to be in the world: orderly, organized, attentive to direction. There is nothing wrong with developing those skills—in fact, I’ve learned the hard way how useful they can be. What is wrong is their fetishization, the way they were allowed to outrank the actual body of knowledge held within algebra or English lit. The result was that “learning” felt like a kind of bait and switch.

But they are building their dystopian dream on a scammy, shaky foundation that's bound to collapse sooner rather than later.
