Open Everything
[ image : mitch haile ]
I’m watching the winter Olympics with one eye, rocking the baby gently with one foot, tapping this in with one hand.
One finger actually.
Which brings me to Leigh Blackall’s crys for help amidst his own baby carnage….and assertions that the institution is stronger than the revolutionaires. I’d imagine that it would be hard to accept that being one actually meant that you have to adapt to cage fighting when boxing and it’s routines had humdrummed the sport of brutality into something less cogent and strangely now socially acceptable.
I’ve heard it said( and learnt the hard way ) that criticism is cheap and that shitting in your own nest is cheaper.
Likewise teaching…and learning or both or in opposite orderas the instituition might have it. Stack the chairs, file the students through the door, pat the backs of funny guys wearing feathers and gowns, pay homage to the seemingly unending array of compliance measures, benchmarks, deadlines, slapdowns and any number of ways to describe what to others see as their main opportunity to moved on, ahead…..
“……Oh,but the rhetoric of openness, access, equity and networked futures.”
Rubbish….or at least now you’ve experienced what open everything might mean to those trapped in the pickled concoids of an institution, get on with better describing it rather than lamenting in a historical quagmire.
Go find some local neckbeards who connect cool things together.
