“We have hit a tipping point where the civil rights of an #individual need to be put aside for the #CivilRights of a #community. When a community doesn’t feel #safe, you have to act and you have to make sure there’s a #deterrent and a #consequence.
In my home state again [#Queensland], I would encourage every state to do this, we’re going back to #outback camps where we are rebuilding these young people with a life #skill. Not putting them behind barbed wire but sending them to remote places, giving them a skill and #purpose in life.” — David Littleproud

»If we think skill is wordless, it is only because we start from a notion of the word already divested of all traces of vocal and manual performance… This is the kind of word we academics are used to, and it is also the sort that inhabits the training manuals, assessment protocols, regulatory standards and codes of practice that pretend to subordinate skilled practice to rational management.«
– Tim Ingold, "Five Questions of Skill", 2018
Stonemasonry gave the 'Limestone City' its name. Now there's no local program to keep the skill alive
Heritage buildings earned Kingston, Ont., its nickname, but starting this spring the local program training the workers needed to maintain so many landmarks will stop welcoming students.

How to Remember What You Read via from Brain Food [Shared]
It happens all the time. You read an amazing book, one so packed with wisdom that you think it’s going to change your life forever. Then…it doesn’t. Why? Because when you’re finally in a situation where you could use its insights, you’ve completely forgotten them. Time is our most valuable resource, so we shouldn’t waste it. The investment we make in reading should have a positive, lasting impact on our lives.
Consuming information is not the same as acquiring knowledge. No idea could be further from the truth.
