One thing I learned during 35 years education: students will control something. You can use that in a productive manner or not.

It’s interesting how compliance is often conflated with learning.

Very few things are simple, but here is one:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Share your evidence or stop making the claims.

Embodied cognition. Situated cognition. Distributed cognition.

These are all as real as what happens in your brain.

@elliswyatt No one can be an expert on everything, and while we may be compliant when we follow experts, we have a much better chance of things turning out well than if we feign expertise and the capacity to evaluate information when we are informed by dubious knowledge. Sure I was compliant in getting COVID vaccinations, but it served me well.

@elliswyatt yeah, the problem with “not everyone agrees” is that that are allowed to base their agreement on incomplete, inaccurate, false information. At this point, if you are denying recent climate change as a human-caused phenomenon, then you can be sure I’m judging your abilites to make informed decisions.
