With the upcoming referendum in Carinthia on prohibiting windpower, I cannot stop thinking of Dom Quixote de la Mancha.

I’m a Luddite (and So Can You!) | The Nib

What the Luddites can teach us about resisting an automated future.

..."clear and present danger", already to #democracy, and in a not too far distant future, also to humanity for humanity.

And even if all this doomsday talk will not come to pass, making billions of well-educated people redundant will impact society on en par with the #IndustrialRevolution.

Hopefully, I am utterly wrong about this.

Per aspera, ad astra. Let's hope we won't share #Icarus' fate.

It is time for #Ludites 2.0

Give them flip phones for at least 3 months. That hurt and refocuses. Ask the #Ludites.

My sister got to lead Saturday School at the HS today. But not the regular version. She was with 9th graders who have been passing around naked photos of a classmate. Extra bonus for these teens as she personally knows each of them and their families. Remind your teens: 1. Don’t take nude pics 2. Don’t share nude pics 3. Disciplinary Action for Child Pornography doesn’t look good on a college application 4. Police & Teachers are your neighbors #TheBreakfastClub #TeenageLife #DisciplinaryAction
