One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

The thing about truth is that it’s immutable. Trying to dissolve it is like trying to drain the ocean. Sure you can nibble around the edges but eventually some combination of politics (best case), economics (bad case), or physics (worst case) returns everyone to reality.
This is maybe the one area of my life where I am a genuine pessimist. I think the dissolution of truth is inevitable in a world where almost all information flows through the internet, but even so I am dismayed that conservatives are right now trying like hell to own and hasten that process.

Though the provenance of the belief is questionable, I have always liked the idea that you are not truly gone until the last time someone speaks your name. With this in mind I will sometimes speak a name, just to myself, and take a moment to remember someone so that, if only in me, they live on.

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

And I speak of spiritual suffering! Of people seeing their talent, their work, their lives wasted. Of good minds submitting to stupid ones. Of strength and courage strangled by envy, greed for power, fear of change.

In my personal life I have moved away from thinking of people as stupid. Instead I just think of people as "incurious," where the Doing of learning has become something they are too tired, scared, or proud to pursue. Curiosity is, I think, the greatest human virtue, the Doing of learning.
to me, Doing is a knife that must be continually honed, however small the grind wheel available to you is, because to me it's not about how sharp the knife actually is it's about the process of honing itself. if you are Doing then you are living. there are always opportunities to Do if you seek them

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.
Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:
