But with this discussion we’re getting far away from ed tech and are working on the grounds on which a functioning society is based.

How relevant is my work in such a world?

I have to admit, this question pops into my head, too. Maybe the work is all the more relevant because so much stuff is happening. I find the work diverting, an opportunity to find some joy in the day. Writing about the crazy stuff that’s happening here gets it out of my head, exorcizes the demons, so to speak.

Those demons? Those human vices that are ever with each of us: Lies, pride, and avarice. We are all caught swimming in the choppy waters of life.

In the immortal words of…well, you know.
