#science and #democracy have (at least) one thing in common: They take into account that #humans are #flawed and put #policies and #protocols in place to minimise the #damage such flaws (#greed, #bias, #stupidity, #corruption, #narcissism, #ego, #burnout, #ignorance etc.) can do.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE MOST #FLAWED #DEMOCRACIES, ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT THEY LIVE IN THE ONLY PERFECT ONE.

Having an #IntelligentDiscussion with my son over #Breakfast on how the #GradingSystem is #Flawed to #Failure. Why are we using a #System from the 1700s? Why does it reward #Failure more than #Mastery? Why doesn’t it take into account the #Diversity in skill through a #Curriculum?
It irks me because when you trip up and fall it can hit your average so hard and digging out of that is not in your favor and it doesn’t represent you or your #Knowledge.

Dear Friends of Truth and lies,
As you may know, lies are called Truth by some.
For example:
- People who 'lie for Jesus' use the #Mastodon powered (the software is free to use by anyone) Truth #social madia.
- If we say something it does not become true because of imagined, stolen or appropriated status.
- Even if we think outside the box, we end in one...
In other words, like #minded idiots propagate idiot #reinforcement. #Surprising? Not really...
#Imagine (if you can) that everything you may think, know and #experience is #flawed? Too hard, too #dangerous?
Ah ha! You are one of the self-styled #geniuses, who are always right about everything? I would join you but am wrong, #misinformed and unwilling to be #deprogrammed. Mmm...Maybe I could try a little...

#Federal #Judge #Tosses #Florida's #Ban on #GenderAffirmingCare.
The #law, he wrote, stemmed from the “#antitrans #animus” of #state #lawmakers and by a “deeply #flawed” #analysis drafted by the #state #Agency for #HealthCare #Administration.”

We can't impress upon a young person his or her responsibility to make these choices,
if we refuse to respect his or her right to make those choices.
That is the basic flaw in our approach.

Five #bands keeping the #spirit of #RiotGrrrl alive.
Although it did a lot of good for #women in #alternativemusic, riot grrrl was fundamentally #flawed in its #politics.
It also predominantly focused on #white, #middleclass #women, often #marginalising #womenofcolour and #outrightly #excluding #trans #women.
