Academia rewards clever papers over real world impact. That makes it less useful. But it also perpetuates privilege—those with less experience of injustice find it easier to play the game, i.e. work on abstruse problems while ignoring topics that address pressing needs.

Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve. It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary. And if it works, people will think we over-reacted. We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.

Two of my heroes, @errolmorris & @mrbobodenkirk, got together to apply their unique ways of looking at the world to climate change. The videos are absurd and sad, yet also funny. It’s not a comfy space they create, but it IS loving. I’m kinda amazed. More: youtube.com/playlist?list=…
