My hot take for this hot morning? The 5 greatest threats to society right now from which all other threats blossom, are:
- Illiteracy
- Innumeracy
- Willful Ignorance
- Selfish Arrogance
- Magical Thinking
Focus on tackling these & we may be able to ride out the other less tractable horrors we face.
Funny how good childhood nutrition and early education will do a lot towards righting the first two, and how those improvements might flow naturally into the others, and to think about who, exactly, is preventing universal good childhood nutrition and early education.
in violent agreement there. Still waiting on someone to finally pull the trigger on universal pre-K child care, though not sure it can happen before 2028, if ever.
