What kind of a world are we preparing our children for? What kind of a world are we preparing for our children?

I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work.
Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

Remembering Andreas Eshete
A revolutionary, philosopher, and devoted patriot, he was among Ethiopia’s leading public intellectuals. https://t.co/oqk0dE7A8E

As the old saying goes “it takes one to know one.”!

A powerful tribute to the man who was larger than life! Or in the words of the authors “…one of the greatest minds of Ethiopia’s finest generation of thinkers.”

Written by Ephraim Isaac, Joshua Cohen, Abdul Mohammed, Mulugeta Gebrehiwot, Alex de Waal, and Solomon Dersso.

Quote:

“Andreas embraced controversy and understood that there was much to be learned from disagreement. But he could not tolerate charlatans - the bullshitters who, as philosopher Harry Frankfurt has argued, foul public discussion because of their indifference to the values of truth and falsity. Andreas despised lazy thinking and vacuous sloganeering. He could be quick to anger, especially at pseudo-intellectualism, and he lamented the decline in the quality of Ethiopia’s political debate.”

“Students at Addis Ababa University remember Andreas’s course “Theory of State and Law,” which transformed how many law students thought about fundamental questions of government, state, law, and society. His lectures were eloquent, and, across every political and social spectrum, his former students maintained a lifetime of connection and friendship with him.”

Final day of #BYM2024 @BritishQuakers

[Jed Stevenson 🌍❤️🌈 @jedstevenson]

Judge Hehir asked jury to ignore concerns of the accused with climate breakdown. On same basis suffragettes and Civil Rights activists were once jailed for public disturbance without reference to their abiding concerns. How long before our society wakes up to this one?

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The sentences handed to the five @JustStop_Oil campaigners are utterly disproportionate. Four and five years in prison for peaceful protest? This is what you might expect in Russia or Egypt, not in a supposed democracy. https://t.co/jE3YUrd9EY

You showed how the present is highly informed of the checkered past. In that, you made everything we want to notice about the past eternally present.

By the memories you have renewed, the present you have contributed to, and the tomorrow you labored to create, your legacy will

Our new article explores water insecurity in Kabul from a geosocial perspective—how the geochemical (salinity, bacterial contamination, drought) and social (poverty, infrastructural inequality) interact. https://t.co/k14eVUdzt4 w/ @DaudHamidi @HaenssgenJ M.Vasilevic & C.Greenwell
