20 years from now, it’s going to be hard to understand why attacking the planetary life support system was a behavior we chose to reward for so long after it should have been criminalized. In fact, some of us are having trouble understanding it now.

No one believes me when I say this, but the decline in reading is already having dire consequences for art & culture. The media you loved in your youth—shows, albums, films—was made by artists who were widely read. You will not have that quality of art in a post-literate world.

basically every form of anything has that problem, the simpsons is now written by people whose only background is in watching the simpsons, snl with snl, star wars with star wars, pop music with pop music

I don’t want comfort or convenience. I want abundant wildlife, I want a planet covered in forests & greenery, I want breathable air, I want literate kids, I want a revival of reading for pleasure and the arts, I want a culture not in danger of being dismantled by the tech-addled

Not going to boost this account but this is a terrible way to approach life. This attitude is the reason kids are growing up never hearing of Robin Hood or King Arthur. They have been deprived of their inheritance. Resist the tyranny of the present moment.

@SketchesbyBoze @acobasi I think society would be in a better place if college first focused on youths exploring what it means to be human (liberal arts) and try to apply it to their own lives. People can focus on career but forget vocation, only to painfully realize later that our souls can't be bribed.

In time we’ll see the mass closure of humanities departments as among the most clueless & self-defeating things that’s ever been done. As Carl Sagan said, a school that doesn’t teach history, philosophy, music, literature is offering you a half-education at best.

History, philosophy, English, linguistics & creative writing “are no longer financially viable” says University of Hertfordshire Arts & Humanities are being squeezed into handful of elite universities, while huge parts of the UK are left without access timeshighereducation.com/news/hertfords…

We ask, “Why have lyrics gotten less sophisticated? Why is satire no longer possible? Why do readers mistake authors’ depictions of events for moral statements?” & in each case the answer is, “Because people don’t read much & intelligent content no longer draws a wide audience.”
Cora Harrington@CoraCHarrington

Side effect of the literacy crisis is people not recognizing literary devices anymore

If @seattletimes.com can do without journalists, it can do without my subscription, too. And if it thinks Seattle wants to be served up slop by an unaccountable planetary destruction machine, it has seriously misread the Northwest.

YIKES: The Seattle Times rejected a union request to not replace workers with AI saying "Journalism doesn't mean journalists." instagram.com/p/DX7Tkxpj55K/…

We went from “the humanities are utterly pointless” to “suddenly, no one can read” in the span of about a year.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

The incentive to make money has so twisted our priorities that people can’t believe you enjoy learning for its own sake. It ends in a world where no one knows history, poetry, myth because they see no profit in it. Disdain for the humanities reveals a total poverty of spirit.

when people genuinely cannot conceive of a reason to attend university that isn’t solely about employment i find it quite scary. this country is so anti-knowledge

I find Gmail’s new “write this for me” feature deeply sinister. They’re trying to convince you that you are dumb and helpless. Don’t let them steal your ability to formulate thoughts and communicate. You were capable of writing an email in 2022 and you’re capable now.

A lot of you are under the mistaken impression that progress means advances in tech. Real progress is kids who are literate, free meals for public school students, a culture in which human art & poetry are celebrated. We're regressing rapidly & the only way forward is to read.
leila@ainiladra

please read ... books, poetry ... please think & reflect ... know your history ... it matters much more than this screen-addled, instant gratification, sound-bite, consumer based irreality tries to tell you
