“It’s time for a different approach. One that recognises that real learning, real skills, real understanding, can’t be measured only by standardised testing. One that recognises the vital role of arts and vocational subjects, and treats them equally within the curriculum.
“And one that genuinely equips children for the world they’re growing up into – giving them the media literacy they need in a dizzying social media and fake news landscape, the understanding of ecosystems and biodiversity vital to tackling the climate and nature crisis, and the creative and critical thinking skills that set us apart from machines in the age of AI.”

"If you are lucky enough to live within the walls of the imperial citadel, which is to say here in the US, you experience American power as something benign. It protects you and your property. It bestows freedom by upholding the rule of law. It is accountable to the people through democratic institutions.
"But if, like me, you live on the barbarian fringes of Empire, you experience American power as something quite different. It can do anything to you, with impunity... And you can't stop it or hold it to account."

I started doing https://neal.fun/absurd-trolley-problems/ for a laugh, but something like the fourth or fifth problem asked me to choose between my life savings and 5 strangers' lives.
> Oh no! A trolley is heading towards 5 people. You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track, but then your life savings will be destroyed. What do you do?
After you do each problem it tells you how many people have pulled/not pulled the lever. I pulled the lever, obviously. Well, I thought it was obvious.
> 57% of people agree with you, 43% disagree
That was BY FAR the most evenly split it had been up to then. All the decisions about actively selecting the death of 1 instead of 5 or 4 instead of 5 and so on had been much easier for people to choose, apparently.
I will never cease to be amazed by how shit a significant chunk of humanity is. I'm feeling quite miserable now!

"For the past decade, I have focused on platform governance as infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on anonymity, minimal data collection, and behavior-based accountability, so that people can speak about intimacy and identity without fear of extraction or exposure."
"I believe we should build our own community. That's why I started researching open-source software and building my own self-hosted community."
"Most people learn how to get in through word of mouth. We also block search engines, bots, and crawlers from the community area. So from day one, we gave up visibility on purpose—we traded reach for resilience."
"The design makes it easier for people who want a slower, more intentional space to stay—and for people who want something frictionless to self-select out."
"Speech regulation is hard, because speech is freaking messy. And once you turn messy human speech into rules that scale, nuance gets flattened. Minority communities usually pay first, because large systems choose efficiency over lived reality."
"Some friction is the price of pluralism, and with good guidance and interface design, conflict can become a point of learning instead of a point of collapse."
"Age verification is a good example. I get that the goal is to protect minors. But identity-based age gates often turn into identity infrastructure. They chill lawful adult speech, concentrate gatekeeping power, and push everyone to hand over personal data just to access legal content."

I would say there's a very important difference between social relationships facilitated by technology and social relationships mediated by technology. Only in the latter case does the technology get in the way of our need to connect with one another.

"A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments.
"Universal basic income, also known as guaranteed income, is the idea of giving money to everyone regardless of how much they already earn – to give them the freedom to move between jobs, train for new positions, provide care, or engage in creative pursuits.
"Mein Grundeinkommen (My Basic Income), the Berlin-based non-profit that ran the German study, followed 122 people for three years. From June 2021 to May 2024, this group received an unconditional sum of €1,200 ($1,365) per month.
"The study focused on people aged between 21 and 40 who lived alone and already earned between 1,100 euros (around $1,250) and 2,600 euros ($2,950) a month. They were free to use the extra money from the study on anything they wanted.
"Over the course of three years, the only condition was that they had to fill out a questionnaire every six months that asked about different areas of their lives, including their financial situation, work patterns, mental well-being and social engagement."

2. Optionally; you can also express yourself as clearly as possible when people are not touching you and you would like them to.
3. You don't have to be the strongest or toughest to defend yourself, it's enough just to be difficult enough to not be worth the trouble.
4. Sometimes it's important to just go "Hrm. Actually, I don't care." and wander off.

Rising cost of everything combined with pay not even tracking inflation for the last few decades will tend to cause an ever-increasing number of young (and not so young) people to ask themselves what the point is really, in staying alive and working hard just to be kicked in the teeth regularly - just because it makes for good soundbite politics, it seems sometimes.
I've lost 5 friends younger than me in the last few years, 4 of them to suicide, the other to NHS delays. I don't expect either number to stop there unless our government's policies start changing, dramatically and soon.

"But real leaders would do it differently. It doesn’t even need the good sense Goffee and Jones speak of to understand things are going wrong on Twitter/X – by continuing to use that platform you are supporting the business of a man who expresses shock that no one is trying to assassinate Harris or Biden. Who thinks UK civil war is inevitable. Who thinks it is totally OK to threaten Taylor Swift. You are basically still on a platform run by a modern day fascist."

“It’s ostensibly a mainstream platform, which now has bespoke moderation policies. Elon Musk is himself inculcated with radical right politics. So it’s behaving much more like a bespoke platform, created by the far right.”
