    “Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”

    —G.K. Chesterton

    should we really be bringing our kids up to be nice little conformant drones?

      nah better to raise them to be erudite starry eyed homeless people with a real sense of cosmic justice and the knowledge they can kill dragons if only they wanted to badly enough

        “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
