Spot and discard!

1. identify distractions (news, entertainement, debates, values, campaigns, renewables, transition)
2. identify the issues that require addressing (nationalism, sexual violence, extractivism, degrowth, activism)
3. urgently avoid fueling distractions
4. do not acquiesce on people fueling distractions.

"Let humanity perish rather than the principle! This has been the motto of utopians and fanatics throughout the ages. Socialism, interpreted in this way, has become a religion […] which in the nineteenth century is the least revolutionary of all."

There are two effective ways of participating in a discussion topic: #groups and #hashtags.

For example, choose your <topic> and type <topic> in the search box at the top of your screen. Then:
- "Profiles": spot one ending in "@a.gup.pe" then on the right push "Follow";
- "Hashtags": spot an item and then in the top right-hand corner "Follow the hashtag".

You may enter a peculiar discussion below, if it piques you:
#moralBeauty
#SpotAndDiscard [… what distracts from autonomy]
#institutionsDeceive
#judicialBias
#unitary
#fragility
#proZionism [support, allies]
#israelism [foreigners raised to unconditionally love Israel]
#JewishState [citizenship]

You are so imaginative!
I hope that your thinking of designing new paths is arousing joy!

Please consider writing about material on community-based academics.

Here’s to #AdministrativeAbolition! “we argue for administrative abolition, that is, the elimination of all college presidents, provosts, deans and other top level administrators who we argue form a parasitical group” https://muse.jhu.edu/article/917791
