I did a lot of nodding and “yep”ing as I listened to this one, about how a subset of American society has turned against the knowledge of experts (and no doubt it‘s happening elsewhere, too). He doesn‘t offer solutions, which is of course frustrating, but then the first step to problem solving is acknowledging the problem. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @Riveted_Reader_Melissa !

ChaoticMissAdventures My goodness it is so frustrating. Not only are they turning against experts many are turning against knowledge period. It is so bizarre. 1mo
Hooked_on_books @ChaoticMissAdventures It really is bizarre. And they revel in doing it! I really don‘t know what the answer is, but it‘s really bad for us as a society. 1mo
Prairiegirl_reading And “do your own research” from RFK while cutting actual research is devastating. 1mo

Christine Ooh, we‘re covering this topic in the sociology of science class I‘m teaching right now. I‘d better check this one out! 1mo
Hooked_on_books @Prairiegirl_reading Not only that, but he shows up in here as an example of a dangerous person for spreading misinformation. And here we now have him as our HHS secretary, which shows how much further we‘ve slid down this dangerous path. 1mo
Hooked_on_books @Christine I would totally take that class! 1mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You‘re welcome…. I‘m glad it still held up. We seem to be sliding down this slippery slope so fast, I sometimes wonder when I recommend books if they will hold up, even when they are just a few years old. I remember back when I read this thinking how much the climate change debate had been taken over by the same forces of Big Tobacco back in the fight of cigarettes…Big Oil now. But now we are into Big Coal and so many of those issues have ⤵️ 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ been co-opted into the political cultural issues instead of science with debating science teams paid by the corporation. And now we have progressed into cutting funding of the basic science itself, and deleting reports we do not like (culturally) which gives the misinformation voices even more space. 1mo
Hooked_on_books @Riveted_Reader_Melissa You sum it up really well. And the pervading force is money. Pay people to say what your interests want rather than try to find the best way, is what these folks do. It‘s not a good thing at all. 1mo

“You'll always need to use multiple platforms to move your projects forward. No single platform can do everything. The intention here is not to use a single software program, but to use a single organizing system, one that provides consistency even as you switch between apps many times per day.” 🤯

This book was as depressing as it was interesting. Notably it was written before the pandemic so today‘s reader is left feeling like there‘s a lot missing from the discussion. However the points made still feel spot on as someone who works for a firm where thought leadership used to be a big part of our business.

This is a book geared towards kids, but it‘s interesting reading for adults too! I certainly learned a lot about Indigenous peoples and how much they have contributed to the world through their inventions and creative thinking.
