Point one: abolish poverty. Point two: abolish capitalism. Point three: Dexys Midnight Runners, playing free, daily, in the university library
Re: What are your values
I feel like education should be completely decoupled from potential economic value and teaching should be conceived of as something other than a shitty job for idiots

Re: What are your values
These are some goodass values.
#1 for me is don't "if only" the shitbaggery we're in direct proximity to: don't allow any coworkers of equal or lesser power to be dickmonkeys with that power, push for structures that limit the ability of people with more power to act out injustice; be as mouthy and adamant of an advocate for folks facing abuse as possible, offer protection and unblinking witness whenever doable; don't coddle ourselves with stories about how we can't justify doing justice within unjust structures relative to our abilities, power, and privileges; don't be bitter and stingy with goodness and convince ourselves that we would be [generous] if we [won the lotto] or [would help out other people in our field] once we [achieved a secure position above all of them], etc.
Also, to remember the unfathomable beauty of the holocene and take time to acknowledge that with or without a Divine aspect, some amount of love was necessary to get us to this point, even if it was great great grandpa protocrab's love for the nutrients locked into the ocean floor. Thanks, Grampy.

Re: What are your values
One cool thing is that sometimes our "values" can change.
I went from thinking very intensely that my reality was fundamentally textual or symbolic, and being worried by that because of interpretation being so fraught, to thinking less intensely that since reality-interpretation might not be the only way I come to know things, I could be more chilled out about it.
Anyway one "value" of mine is I want to understand other people's experiences and see them as fundamentally good or okay.
Another is to want to stop finding ways to find ugly things beautiful, or stop the generative reassessment of beauty or the process of finding ways to enjoy everything, so that I've got time and resources left to turn towards what seems beautiful up front.

Re: What are your values
I like these two current values. they make a lot of sense and pair well imo
