Over the last 3 months I’ve had the opportunity to teach robotics and coding at SK Moseneke Primary School through Supreme Cadets Institute.

“However, there is another kind of power, one that is more appropriate for the new paradigm – power as empowerment of others. The ideal structure for exerting this kind of power is not the hierarchy but the network, the central metaphor of the ecological paradigm. In a social network, people are empowered by being connected to the network. Power as empowerment means facilitating this connectedness. The network hubs with the richest connections become centers of power. They connect large numbers of people to the network and are therefore sought out as authorities in various fields. Their authority allows these centers to empower people by connecting more of the network to itself.”

@ChrisExcel102 South African politics has become a spectator sport. We are concerned about who filled the stadium instead of what was said inside it. Crowds are not a substitute for ideas, policy, or accountability.

Even in systems designed to break us, we gathered. Decades later, I experienced similar. Different vehicle, same spirit. On a bus from Joburg to Lesotho, as the city fell away, the passengers burst into song and praise.
