hey tech founders or antagonists - i'm interested in getting input to help co-design a framework for INTENTIONAL TECH e.g., what if we brought critical theory to tech founders? what if we fostered truly collectivist and democratic approaches to technology development? what if existential reflections and craftsmanship were part of the DNA of all startups? here are some sketchings of the idea. welcome your thoughts!

Speaking with Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, who co-founded Andela to find the brightest young people in Africa. He pays them to train to be world-class developers and connects them with employers around the world looking for top technical talent. During our chat he refuted the dystopian view that technology is taking jobs away, emphasized the importance of investing in Internet access, and reminded us that although we've always thought of Africa as a place we give to, in 20 years there will be more workers out of Africa than the rest of the world combined. Also, he has a killer and infectious laugh.

The government's debt is the people's wealth: @JAMyerson gives a lesson in macroeconomic double entry bookkeeping. thenextsystem.org/monetarily-we-…
The great majority of money (the great majority of the means of debt repayment) appears not in note- or coin-form, but simply as electronic entries in spreadsheets. These entries came into existence not through minting or printing, but by a keystroke. The primary operation performed by the money system therefore is not circulating money, but creditingand debiting it on balance sheets

Are We Finally Ending the Battle of the Edu-Tribes? samchaltain.com/are-we-finally… This one is generating a lot of response, most of it negative.
A belief that learning doesn’t just happen in school – it happens anywhere and everywhere – and therefore schools must become places that can recognize and accredit student work whenever and wherever it occurs.
why the need to accredit/recognize.?
A belief that all student learning, to the greatest extent possible, should be designed in a way so that it can legitimately offer a “slice of the solution”, and contribute to our ongoing collective effort to solve actual, intractable social problems.
rev of everyday life..
spaces of permission.
nothing to prove..
reminds of Carl's recent talk.. panel said.. we need to question politics of what gets funded.. what questions/research/et al..
ie: perhaps not better credential/credit/proving ing
alt: self talk as data.. in the open
A belief that empathy is a foundational skill for student development and growth – and that schools in general must become more explicitly focused on the skills and dispositions (as opposed to content knowledge) they believe their graduates must acquire in order to live successful, fulfilling lives as adults.
if so... if empathy.. then trust goes beyond debs verb ess. and certainly beyond the next link in this article.
krishnamurti sh... partial empathy is no empathy
trust/love people ..
let go of control.
district wide doesn't matter so much.. (ie: we've gone nation wide.. ).. if focus is off. even just a bit.
