Life is too short for bad education.

Here to learn... alongside you.

[Joel @Joelliechty]

We learn through curiosity assisted by a web of resources: information, conversations, practice, experimentation, failure, etc.

Learning is an often haphazard dialectic between these. Like life, it is messy.

Our education models should account for and even encourage this.

@khemaridh *I love all the "do the self-work" comments in this thread: therapy, journaling, family histories, cultural expectations, reflecting on the stories we tell ourselves, inherited (shitty) beliefs, the function of shame, etc.

@khemaridh A lesson I'm learning: I imagine people are always thinking about & judging me. A friend replied, "Joel, you're great and I love you but I don't think about you much and neither do most people"😆

Twas a little freeing to destroy the idea that people sit around thinking about me

[Joel @Joelliechty]

@khemaridh I was talking to a friend today who was in a healthy relationship that was loving, caring, safe, etc. (after a caustic relationship). He related that experiencing love in the face of not-enoughness mitigates (*doesn't solve) the stories we tell ourselves of not being enough.

Bad ideas about god turn into bad realities for humans.

If you can glean joy from dissatisfaction, then life will give you a constant supply of joy.

Your day-to-day life is your primary classroom.

@wes_kao And then, when I found myself hating the rat race, I discovered I wanted to be better amongst all us who critiqued the rat race. Damn my persistence 😅

Your attention is a gift. Give it to someone right now.

Live well. Enjoy today. For tomorrow, we may die. #MementoMori

@khemaridh I remember, in one of the early SYP cohorts, appreciating the tactics. But also, as I heard you talk, watched you write and post, I mused if your journey wasn't towards an existentialism that surpassed the mechanics of productivity. This is not surprising, Khe and you are a gift.

This seems empowering

Justice requires solidarity in which the oppressed, oppressors, and systems are transformed toward freedom.

Embrace aging. It’s more attractive.

Even data-driven decisions in education are function of definitions of success. What data we choose to focus on is a result of how we imagine success.

[Joel @Joelliechty]

People are endlessly interesting.

"How do authentic assessments mirror the real world?"

Heard this question on a competency-based education webinar. Great question. One step further is an assessment that happens in the real world (if possible), not just a facilitated, mirrored, proximity.

The future of AI tools seems to be specialization-driven tools. Here's a great emerging law example. https://t.co/dZsBNaDeel

The joy is in the tension.
