this is so brilliant. give kids the ability to create without making it dependent on their technical abilities. be a secretary for a child and make their dreams a reality that isnt overshadowed by 'cute' spelling errors #margaretmead #cathybateson #withadaughterseye

gregory bateson and margaret mead were constantly pioneering new social constructs. here, for example, is a horny jail they made for themselves where if you try to escape you get malaria #hornyjail #gregorybateson #margaretmead #withadaughterseye

Representation is important!!! You have no idea what life experiences the people you meet have and what lessons theyll learn from things they see you do #JamesBaldwin #MargaretMead #ARapOnRace #pillastorytime

Deborah Levy quoting Margaret Mead in her 2016 novel Hot Milk

#books #bookstodon #reading #DeborahLevy #fiction #MargaretMead #anthropology

Nya uppfinningar som vunnit hyfsat bred acceptans är t.ex. deklarationen om mänskliga rättigheter, brott mot krigets lagar och mänskligheten, internationella brottsmålsdomstolen. Försoningsprocesser. Sanningskommissioner.

Många av dessa har kanske ännu inte nått universell acceptans, men är på god väg! Vi har sett att rättvisa skipas. Att drabbade samhällen kan läka. Att de nya uppfinningarna ger mer välstånd än krig. Men vi behöver uppmärksamma dem!
#margaretmead #war #peace

Wedérus menar att vi kanske är en sådan ny uppfinning på spåret och citerar konfliktdata. Jag håller med. Krig mellan länder är enormt kostsamt, ofta även för den segrande parten. Antalet krig och dödade i krig har minskat stort sedan 1900-talet. Och nya uppfinningar finns. #margaretmead #krig #fred #anthropology

Vi behöver inte acceptera tanken att krig är en biologisk eller historisk nödvändighet. Thomas Wedérus lyfter fram antropologen Margaret Meads tanke att krig, liksom matlagning, giftermål, rättegång och begravning är en mänsklig uppfinning.

Femur or humor?

Margaret Mead was once asked by a smart ass student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization. She answered back with an even smarter question:

“Falafel is good but have you ever tried shawarma with hot sauce?”

True story!

The notion that we are products of our environment is our greatest sin; we are products of our choices. - (Margaret Mead)

Could you take the time to consider the choices you make today? Even the smallest ones will matter in the long run. Choose wisely.

#MargaretMead at first wanted to be a painter when she grew up, but such intellectual role models led her to college thinking of English as a field of study. https://bit.ly/3EaxB1f

margaret mead would look you dead in the eye and say "that was a poggers moment" and you would say yeah it sure was

a rare moment of defeat: margaret mead organizes a conference about rituals, and it falls flat because she mixed comparative religion scholars with catholic priests who believe their religion is 100% correct and everyone elses is 0% correct

just started reading it from the beginning out of curiosity. good lord james baldwin can move mountains with his words

#araponrace #jamesbaldwin #margaretmead #pillastorytime

margaret mead kept a little notebook on her to write down cool ideas people said, and simply by doing so she got people to tell her the most interesting things they could think of in order to get her to whip out that notebook

we can see echoes of this brilliant idea in what will later be known as "fishing for RTs"
