Thanks, Daryl and I would add to your and Naomi Klein's
thoughts....transformative education.
And just as a key part of understanding what that might mean on the deeper
emotional/social intelligence learning that underlies most of our taught
prejudices, biases and narrow ways of seeing problems from only one dominant
perspective (though it is not a perspective without worth, just one that often
reinforces the patriarchal-capitalism-control connection), I would like to just
point out the conversations about these subjects on the internet and here and
the ratio of men to women in that discussion.
My argument and it is a difficult one because the conversation is still such a
necessary one to be having -- this is inherent in the form/mode and limits of
that very discussion in these technologies and one of my main concerns in what
will too easily be disregarded, left out and reinforced by them.
And why that is true, how it was historically developed and how exactly it is
reinforced in this medium is an essential part not only of transforming
education but pretty much doing anything else transforming in the model of how
humanity changes its view of healthy and equal societies and Mother Nature
herself.
Those heavy metaphors do need to be excavated, understood and taught
differently including what the technology reinforces of the very "old"
patriarchal paradigm and how that might be done differently.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all on this Planet,

"Radical emissions reduction will only emerge from radical social movements ...
transformative policies must be backed by transformative politics.” Naomi Klein
