@BigBrainBizness @BreneBrown We live in a 2-tier system. This is an important conversation.
The “everyone gets a diploma” is failing society.

[Big Brain Business @BigBrainBizness]

Brené Brown, researcher and author, on the contradiction she keeps hearing in rooms full of tech billionaires:

Her work puts her in rooms where the founders and CEOs of major tech platforms talk openly about how they think.

What @BreneBrown hears there unsettles her:

"So I hear someone say, 'Hey, you know, tech billionaire, what should my kids study? I'm worried for my kids… they should study coding, physics,' and then five minutes later, as if that answer didn't happen, someone will say, 'What do you attribute your success to?' I mean deeply when you think about it, and the same person will say, 'My deep reading of philosophy and the stoics.'"

The contradiction is what stops her: the same people crediting philosophy and the liberal arts for their own success are telling other parents their kids should focus on coding and physics.

That gap leads her to a bigger, more uncomfortable question:

"I start to extrapolate from there and wonder if there is a thinking class that's emerging where they're like, 'We're going to read philosophy and we're going to read the liberal arts and we're going to study history, and the rest of you just keep scrolling. Don't worry about the big words. We'll handle all the big words for you.'"

She points to Steve Jobs as an early signal of the same pattern:

"It's like when they asked Steve Jobs, 'Boy, your kids must love the iPad.' Steve Jobs said, 'My kids don't have an iPad.' And then his biographer who spent time with his family said he wasn't kidding. There's no technology. At dinner, they're talking about art and history."

The takeaway is simple but uncomfortable.

The people building these platforms are protecting their own kids from them, and giving them books, ideas, and real conversation instead.

So why are the rest of us being sold something different?

@DrSouthern @CBSNews We are just numbers. The government wants to control those they can control because it is ultimately about their money. Healthy people don’t cost the government like the unhealthy do.

@archeohistories @histories_arch Anybody else root down to their belly button for a look-see?

@pete_mcvei70 @NewYorker Wasn’t it proved that election fraud is very rare?

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@FBIDirectorKash Just one! And someone thought they done exposed it all!!!!!

@FUBARnsv1 @CNN Let me get this straight. You think I teach because I want to be mistreated and underpaid? You don't think a lot about us, do you? I have a master's degree and I'm still paying on those loans. I had to have two jobs to survive. If I didn't have a mate, I'd be on food stamps. Wow.

@TommyThunder1 @bshelburne @HBODocs did you even watch the documentary? No matter their crime, they are human. Someone's mother, father, brother, sister. Dogs get treated better.

@GozinyaD @fasc1nate How very Christian of you

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@PoxOnBothHouses @FoxNews That man in the lower right quadrant of this picture is literally spewing hate. Who is he angry with? Today, maybe he should take accountability and repent. The president is failing to bring people together, instead he uses sycophantic behavior like JD Vance saying this… oh boy.

@ClintEastw15122 @GovRonDeSantis Teachers can’t feed themselves but an AI response is clever.

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@ryanstudiesai @FixingEducation There is a dire need for decorum and manners at the very top. Behavior has gotten worse.

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@Xx8xBatmomx3xX @FixingEducation Tell me you are not educated without it even being a question.

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@milliemille19 @aldotcom That’s some hefty propaganda you have accepted. I’m not sure how the schools hirer so many “others” to corrupt the children. I know when I’m teaching there is no time to pull out my MAGA hat or picture of Clinton and talk about the Epstein files…. But they know.

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@Matt79213 @Advantagethink @Maplebronut @LePapillonBlu2 Yes, I see you are a Christian, too. Keep telling all of us how ignorance is bliss, dear.

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@Matt79213 @Advantagethink @Maplebronut @LePapillonBlu2 Are you 12?

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@Advantagethink @LairdStuff @Maplebronut @LePapillonBlu2 Those in office are not Christians. Sir, you are not one either. We want people to come in this country legally but what we don’t want is people being profiled and rounded up like animals with quotas. Trump said he was going after the worst—not true. Killing people?

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@jeffrey7070 @Forbes Do you believe that the feds taking over elections will be fair? Taxes are not lower. My money doesn’t go as far. In fact, if I were single I could qualify for SNAP. I’m a teacher with a master’s degree. Get off Fox News.

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@3DRealityCap @Forbes Except it’s not. Crazy, huh?

[Larissa Goodrich @GoodrichPhoto]

@EddieM4343 @Forbes Maybe it’s the people waking up to the quotas and the profiling and the raiding of places. Maybe it’s food prices or housing…. Or it could be that he is running the media and the DOJ- Epstein files? Or that overt racism is acceptable? Are you obtuse?
