“Knowingness and the Politics of Ignorance,” Brian Klaas
“Knowingness is defined by a relationship to knowledge in which we always believe that we already know the answer—even before the question is asked. It’s a lack of intellectual curiosity, in which the purpose of knowledge is to reaffirm prior beliefs rather than to be a journey of discovery and awe.”
“How Much Discomfort is the Whole World Worth,” Kelly Hayes, Mariame Kaba
“…if we cannot organize beyond the bounds of our comfort zones, we will never build movements large enough to combat the forces that would destroy us.”
“Land Ownership Makes No Sense,” Jehan Azad
“On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs,” David Graeber
