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. 4h
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. 4h

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! 3h
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. 2h
Hooked_on_books @Christine I would totally take that class! 2h

“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.

I made a #BookTree once & decided I am way too lazy for it. It‘s putting the books away that sucks! Anyway, last year my holiday cards & postcards from Zazzle featured book stacks & book trees. 🤷🏻‍♀️📚🎄

I picked the tagged book for its title but it looks so interesting I may need to add it to my TBR! 🌳

Eggs This is lovely🌲📚🎄 1y
