Teacher Tom nails it. I think the criticism could be applied beyond schools. It is the same in the what is the matter with men, no one has friends, no one wants to work, and other discourses. Always about demographics, never the system or its incentives.

The "conversation" about Bella Ramsey reminded me of the Penny Arcade chestnut. Lyanna Mormont is my favorite character in Game of Thrones.

"The [Left's] focus on lived experience by identity groups prioritizes the emotional world of the inner self over the rational examination of issues in the outside world and privileges sincerely held opinions over a process of reasoned deliberation that may force one to abandon prior opinions."

Love this interview with Bill Murray. Introverts hearing about Bill meeting an order of magnitude more people than them are thinking, "Damn, Bill, I feel your pain."

I think COVID was the first time a lot of average Americans realized how quickly the modern surveillance state could come down on them and control what they saw and how they traveled and none of it was communicated effectively by our various institutions. (Because mass media was eaten by the web.)

Idea to actualize: Cover band called the Dead Trumps that does a cover of: "America, Uber Alles," with redone lyrics appropriate for our historical moment.

Reminder: Uber Alles means "above all", or First, if you prefer English.
