This means there should be more than one perspective/voice when it comes to the production of historical knowledge.
It also means that facts and narratives should be seen as doing ideological work, advancing specific concepts of national identity, and aiding or frustrating the struggle for justice.
It means using the past to promote critical thinking.
It's important to have a good understanding of how technology works.
Not because getting a STEM job is valuable, or because technical knowledge is somehow more important than other types of knowledge.
It's because the powerful will use your ignorance of technology against you.
Systems are designed — out of necessity and intentionally — to constrain your choices. It's important to understand which constraints are technically necessary, and which are just there to exploit or control you.
I don’t know how we knew about this game. I guess the way we knew all the other games; somebody told somebody who told everybody else. An older brother to a younger brother, maybe, just a sort of inheritance of tradition and knowledge.

It's a slow but growing movement.
