       @alpineibex @StevenDouglas @SjmaraldoNo...all is not lost...All is in permanent transition and no one knows what to do with it.  NO ONE.Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.  There are too many things happening behind the scenes.If you haven't watched "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix, you are missing out on some key explanations about why the world's gone nuts.It is wonderful to come back after a long hiatus and get welcomed back with insults and insinuations.  šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘

       @alpineibex @StevenDouglas @Sjmaraldo But can you find the Internet before the internet?  Human nature is what it is but the ability to exponentially manipulate and exacerbate the worst parts of human nature and to spread those bad seeds and feed them with algorithms developed to exploit human weakness using over 400 individual personality data points recorded from our most private selves leveraged with AI machine learning all to extract profit by making you do it more.  That’s unprecedented.

       @alpineibex @StevenDouglas @Sjmaraldo You assume WAY TOO MUCH about things you know nothing about…and too much on what you do know…

       @Zemeliko @DLMarch54 @timr @StevenDouglas @Gbrian15 @Mr_NobodyAs hard as it is for me I have to remind myself that one of the most dangerous phenomena on the planet is the cult of personality. I hate being wrong and after looking back over two and a half years, I was so off on so many things. I felt like all I did was research…and to be so wrong. I hate relating to Pontius Pilate when he opined ā€œWhat is truth?ā€ 2000 years ago. But can relate to the conundrum.

       @Debradelai @darulharb Bullshit.  It’s to provide context and to make connections…to see patterns of human behavior…the old adage ā€œhistory repeats itselfā€? Conflict in Ukraine?  Don’t talk about that…that’s a naked attempt at indoctrination…it’s about relevance.  It’s about key concepts that define the humanities.  Some teachers are so dogmatic in their approach and beliefs that EVERYTHING they do is some form of indoctrination…but teaching shit that matters and connecting the dots is not.

       @DLMarch54 @Debradelai @darulharb Teaching and leading teacher has been my vocation for almost 30 years across four states…urban, suburban, and rural. It’s too broad a brush ya’all painting with.  We aren’t all teacher Union waving Commie mindfuckers. You cannot teach historical concepts in a vacuum…We can’t equate ā€œcurrent eventsā€ it’s nefarious purposes. Historical revisionism is rife…progressive horse hit litters the landscape…but don’t associate that with current events…blame the standards.

       @DLMarch54 @Debradelai @darulharb Each state establishes their guiding content ā€œStandardsā€.  Teachers are required to teach to those standards.  The process of creating the standards is a highly political one where politicians tap their favorite buddies from around the state and pull them together to make them feel anointed and empowered.  That’s where the shady shit happens…backroom deals with textbook makers…educational agendas being set behind the curtain.  NOT in teaching current events.

       @DLMarch54 @Debradelai @darulharb What you describe frames my entire "Why" for life.  My soul is in public education.  I'm a 3rd generation...it's my family business...I despise what the Commies have done to our spiritual and intellectual  core as a nation.  My life has been devoted to understanding why that happened and serving as a bulwark against that encroach.  That's why I became a public school administrator for 15 years.  I took duty with the Night's Watch.  Answer the call in the AM.

       @DLMarch54 @Debradelai @darulharb It's a dangerous business.  I post under a pseudonym due to the realities associated with modern social media.  When I explained the "insurrection" (was a current event) last year I had a parent come after me. I was teaching International Baccalaureate (IB) Psychology and framing the "insurrection" as a form of "deindividuation".  Was called in to admin as an apologist...if you don't kowtow activist parent head-hunt.  Social media doxxing of teachers is real.

       @Debradelai @DLMarch54 @darulharb If I don't clarify what an "insurrection" actually is...They only get the bullshit narrative...By discussing and challenging the bullshit narrative...I generate some critical thinking...That's what teenagers have to learn to do with a stacked deck against them...

       @Debradelai @DLMarch54 @darulharb Curious what you would suggest.  Open to finding different ways to challenge the next generation to think about the multifaceted nature of reality.

       @Donjanusgjrdrm @Debradelai @DLMarch54 @darulharb IB is high level high school education intensified over a two year program.  More rigorous that Advanced Placement (AP) psychology.https://www.ibo.org/contentassets/5895a05412144fe890312bad52b17044/psychology-sl-hl-2019-en.pdfI teach 9th grade freshman world geography this year as well as psychology.  They are so damaged... But as soon as we started talking about real shit happening in the world they perked up.  And they warm to the right shit because it makes sense.We start with the basics but grow into now

       @RonOgletree @Debradelai @DLMarch54 @darulharb Yep...that works...My philosophy is exactly the opposite.  When don't you use your cell phone?I teach them how to use them for productive purposes.Tell me when cell phones won't be integral to your life...how about them?  The worst technology they will ever remember in their lives will be the cell phones they all have.To be relevant today you have to learn across generations and meet them where they are.

       @Debradelai @DLMarch54 @darulharb Just to finish...clarifyI believe in presenting both sides of an issue to gain perspective on the 360 view.  I don't tell kids what to believe...I challenge them to make claims and support with evidence based on defining narratives.  Current events help frame the human condition.  We cam compare and contrast past with present.The whole goal is not to indoctrinate...It's to teach kids wired in regurgitation to learn systems of thinking.

       @Debradelai You sure know how to tear people down...its uncanny.  People who revere your opinion and support your efforts...and rather than dialog with those who took time to build relationship and support your community...you just sling insults and epithets.  You are such a brilliant man Saul.  It's a shame man.
