"The Quantum Mechanics of Politics" by Flora Lewis (1983) (http://bit.do/fQcUr)
"If humans are not perfect, what nonsense it is to think we can invent a perfect society. The best possible society, which can never be anywhere near ideal, has to be the one best able to correct its mistakes, to develop new ideas, adjust to new circumstances. The writers of our Constitution understood that even the best minds and hearts make mistakes."

"... the world is dominated by automatic systems chomping away on our error-ridden dossiers. They urgently require the context, common sense, and fairness that only humans can provide. However, if we leave this issue to the marketplace, which prizes efficiency, growth, and cash flow (while tolerating a certain degree of errors), meddling humans will be instructed to stand clear of the machinery" (p. 155).

"Difference Making at the Heart of Learning: Students, Schools, and Communities Alive with Possibility" by Tom Vander Ark and Emily Liebtag (2021) (http://bit.do/fP26c)
"For some, building social capital and creating a culture and curriculum of contribution may cut against the grain of the American tradition of personal identity and autonomy. It's less familiar than the pursuit of individual gain. But ironically, it's clear that contribution is the superpower of the innovation economy. It is learning how to make a difference that builds value for individuals and communities" (p. 62).

Season 1: Episode 37 - Leah Thomas: Hello, intersectional environmentalism
"Why every environmentalist should be anti-racist" by Leah Thomas (2020) (https://bit.ly/3w2GCXB)
"Intersectional environmentalism is an inclusive version of environmentalism that advocates for both the protection of people and the planet. It identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the earth are interconnected. It brings injustices done to the most vulnerable communities, and the earth, to the forefront and does not minimize or silence social inequality."

Season 1: Episode 36 - Bret Turner: Identity via psychosocial osmosis
"Teaching kindness isn't enough" by Bret Turner (2019) (http://bit.ly/3lAHJsu)
"Young children are not only developing a sense of morality; they are developing a sense of who they are. This includes their race, gender, class and more. These identities have never been treated or represented equally in our society, so when we teach about love, acceptance and kindness without addressing this inequity, we gloss over crucial differences in the ways our students experience the world. The harm done by long-term exposure to injustice—to the kind of imagery found in racist books, microaggressions and discrimination—calls for more than a simple understanding of kindness. It demands that kindness be interwoven with substantial notions of true justice."

"The Meaning of Human Existence" by Edward O. Wilson (2014) (http://bit.ly/3bZGkZm)
"Selfish activity within the group provides competitive advantage but is commonly destructive to the group as a whole. Working in the opposite direction from individual level selection is group selection — group versus group. When an individual is cooperative and altruistic, this reduces his advantage in competition to a comparable degree with other members but increases the survival and reproduction rate of the group as a whole. In a nutshell, individual selection favors what we call sin and group selection favors virtue. The result is the internal conflict of conscience that afflicts all but psychopaths..." (p. 179).

"Etienne Wenger, co-author of Digital Habitats: Stewarding Technology for Communities and author of Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity asserts that human knowing is fundamentally a social act. By hearing about the experiences of others, you mash up snippets of data, add them to your own, and fit them into your sense of who you are and what you can do — together and with others. Learning 'changes who we are by changing our ability to participate, to belong, and to experience our life and the world as meaningful'" (p. 33).

"A shared learning culture in which employees are always acquiring new skills and honing existing ones increases loyalty and decreases turnover. It also improves morale by developing employees into mutual supporters and champions for one another. It's important to move them away from a typical 'winner-takes-all' or 'every-person-for-themself' mentality and toward one that embraces collaboration and helpfulness. Workers who become good at shifting back and forth between teacher and student are humbler and have fewer ego issues" (p. 66).

"Taking ambitious climate action could generate more than 65 million new low-carbon jobs by 2030, equivalent to today’s entire workforces of the United Kingdom and Egypt, combined. Switching to new, sustainable patterns of consumption and production not only boosts climate action, but also holds the potential for eradicating poverty, creating jobs, improving health and contributing to more sustainable ecosystems. Ensuring access for all to clean energy services also carries the potential of reducing the gender divide in terms of education, health, livelihoods and empowerment."

The full question should be, 'What can I do next?, and always next, because you're never going to be done.

"It is never enough to merely state grievances to challenge the status quo. To create meaningful change, you must put forward an affirmative vision for what you want the future to look like. Again, this is not about messaging. It's not enough to merely express your grievances more artfully. You have to define an alternative that is actually better, not just for those who agree with you, but for the vast majority of those who will be affected by the change you seek" (p. 117).

"The Adaptation Advantage: Let Go, Learn Fast, and Thrive in the Future of Work" by Heather E. McGowan and Chris Shipley (2020) (http://bit.ly/3r8npRo)
"We are so focused on developing machine capabilities to perform cognitive work that we nearly fail to develop our uniquely human skills, and paradoxically we have trained humans to act more like machines. We are conditioned, for example, to respond to the stimulus of a smartphone alert and have trained ourselves to structure data in ways computers can understand. We test people on tasks that machines can do (retrieve information), rather than asking people to act more like humans (creating and collaborating). We ponder just how powerful silicon computing can become and yet we don't even know what humans are capable of doing" (p. 122).

Students do not naturally arrive at high school, college, or adult education programs at once dependent upon teachers and resentful of being taught. They become that way as a result of years of dependency training. And they continue resisting with the implicit cooperation of teachers" (p. 142).

Season 1: Episode 22 - Rick Hess: In it for the long haul.
"Education Unbound: The Promise and Practice of Greenfield Schooling" by Frederick M. Hess (2010) (http://bit.ly/2Ng6fT5)
"Medical and technological breakthroughs today are often seeded by expensive investments made 10 or 20 years ago, or even longer. The payoff for boosting K-12 R&D will not be wondrous increases in student achievement in three months or three years; it will unfold only in the course of time. This is a difficult sale in the 'fix it now' world of schooling..." (p. 39).

"Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis" by Robert Putnam (2015) (http://bit.ly/3pj7hKV)
"This is not the first time in our national history that widening socioeconomic gaps have threatened our economy, our democracy, and our values. The specific responses we have pursued to successfully overcome these challenges and restore opportunity have varied in detail, but underlying them all was a commitment to invest in other people’s children. And underlying that commitment was a deeper sense that those kids, too, were our kids" (p. 261).

"So You Want to Talk about Race" by Ijeoma Oluo (2018) (http://bit.ly/3aZiqLW)
"When somebody asks you to ‘check your privilege’ they are asking you to pause and consider how the advantages you’ve had in life are contributing to your opinions and actions, and how the lack of disadvantages in certain areas is keeping you from fully understanding the struggles others are facing and may in fact be contributing to those struggles. It is a big ask, to check your privilege. It is hard and often painful, but it’s not nearly as painful as living with the pain caused by the unexamined privilege of others" (p. 63).

"I think it takes a certain muscle to feel like the world is a reservoir that gives rather than takes. And… we all have a choice to make about that, whether we see the world that way or not. But if we can see it as something where we’re allowed to get things and soak it in, then we can get it anywhere we look" (31:13-31:38). - Alexi Pappas

Season 1: Episode 18 - Dave Roberts: From individual to collective.
"Republicans vs. the planet" on the Ezra Klein Show (December 23, 2019) (http://apple.co/39ZoxAx)
"... that all presumes that people sense a change and a difference. But what's gonna happen, storms are gonna incrementally, very very slowly get worse — everything's getting incrementally, slowly worse — and every new cohort that's born into that thinks that's normal. The timescales are so screwed up here. There's not a single cohort in power that feels a change at the level of human experience. So we're gonna get used to each new increment of chaos, each new increment of suffering. The idea that there will be regular heat waves that wipe out thousands of people at a time will just be normal" (1:19:50-1:20:31) - Dave Roberts

"Can Chloé Valdary sell skeptics on DEI?" by Conor Friedersdorf in The Atlantic (January 31, 2021) (http://bit.ly/3oYTWrf)
"All individuals are complex and multifaceted. If we treat any human being, any group of people, as a conglomerate, we run the risk of stereotyping them, reducing them, in our words and in our actions, and turning them into an abstraction... That’s not going to be helpful or sustainable for anyone. We have to treat each other like family." - Chloé Valdary

Season 1: Episode 16 - Richard Pascale, Jerry Sternin, + Monique Sternin: The solution is coming from inside the group!
"The Power of Positive Deviance: How Unlikely Innovators Solve the World’s Toughest Problems" by Richard Pascale, Jerry Sternin, + Monique Sternin (2010) (http://bit.ly/2LdLd6h)
"The hardest thing for trained field workers is believing in their hearts that ignorant, poor, uneducated people can have answers the trained people never dreamed of. Every field worker or facilitator carries internalized expectations about how we add value. Relinquishing the need to prove one's competence is difficult. Experts are 'answers' looking for problems to solve. Positive deviance practitioners, on the other hand, are community mobilizers who catalyze others' empowerment. Group conversations are the means for translating these intentions into action. 'Solving the problem' is secondary to tapping the distributed intelligence of the community to discover its own latent wisdom" (p. 164).

Season 1: Episode 15 - Daniel Kahneman: What's so bad about uncertainty?
"Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman (2011) (http://bit.ly/3ajy18B)
“An unbiased appreciation of uncertainty is a cornerstone of rationality — but it is not what people and organizations want. Extreme uncertainty is paralyzing under dangerous circumstances, and the admission that one is merely guessing is especially unacceptable when the stakes are high. Acting on pretended knowledge is often the preferred solution” (p. 263).

"Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-reliant, and Better Students for Life" by Peter Gray (2013) (http://bit.ly/3qGXRuI)
"We have created a world in which children must suppress their natural instincts to take charge of their own education and, instead, mindlessly follow paths to nowhere laid out for them by adults. We have created a world that is literally driving many young people crazy and leaving many others unable to develop the confidence and skills required for adult responsibility” (p. 19).

"Learning Horizons: What Equity-Centered, Radical Learning Innovators Are Showing Us about Where Learning Is Headed" by Sunanna Chand + The Reinvention Lab (2020) (http://bit.ly/3cg13IL)
"We can't go back to young people being bored out of their minds for eight hours a day, being lectured at instead of co-constructing their learning. We can't go back to oppressive and racist pedagogical practices and schools. We can't go back to a world in which young people feel like they have no power, and are the least valued and least heard stakeholders in a system that is supposedly built for them. There are different ways of learning. Let's test them now, and not abandon them post-pandemic" (p. 15).
