“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art.” [emphasis added]

—Ursula K. Le Guin

teach them rebellion and revolution and defiance, teach them to dream about a better world, teach them right to repair and reverse engineering and open source, teach them science and technology and engineering and art and design are all interlinked and that economists have no idea what they’re doing, teach them who the dragons are, teach them resilience and sustainability and regeneration, teach them other people have feelings too

don’t teach them conformity and obedience and compliance
