'Além disso, a pretensa meritocracia do numerus clausus é uma tautologia: o sistema académico define o que é considerado “melhor” e depois declara que os aceites são os “melhores”. Mas onde está a demonstração que médias altas identificam os mais aptos para determinada profissão? Alguém acha que os melhores médicos se escolhem pela capacidade de receber e memorizar “aprendizagens” de Português ou Biologia no ensino secundário?'

Great interview by @NathanJRobinson. Mimics my transition to $maximalism in the 00s. Another element to (not in article) is its protestant dualist iconoclasm, which feels very antibody, antiflesh. As if spaces/objects are designed for the spirit, not the body.

And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars"

The past few weeks have been so difficult due to how the attacks and then war affected all, especially friends and colleagues most connected to the region---and most of all those in place, of course. Any position is bound to upset somebody, when what we need is common humanity.

"love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves." Seeking solace in music, as it has the power to bring people together, when we most need.
