the key

$: let\ting go$
to betterness/equity

$: let\ting go$
is to let go

$: let\ting go$
of control.

$: let\ting go$

$: let\ting go$
the problem

$: let\ting go$
is that we keep trying/pretending/promising

$: let\ting go$
to let go.

$: let\ting go$

$: let\ting go$
but the thing about control

$: let\ting go$
is that it’s like

$: let\ting go$
trust.

$: let\ting go$
an all or nothing ness.

$: let\ting go$
a partial freedom is no freedom ness.

ie: 7 billion people (all of us) set free is the solution.

yet 1%ish of us are managing/strategizing solutions.

while the other 99%ish.. are currently:

trying to survive poverty/oppression/abuse/war..

too busy with work/school/supposed to’s

crafting perfect pitches to beg for resources for a brilliant solution to some problem

(but most likely not to the problem that’s deep enough – or we’d be there by now.. no?)

we can try to increment our way to betterness.

we’ve been doing it for several years now.

with some successes.

$: let\ting go$
but we haven’t yet realized/figured-out/believed-ina problem/solution deep enough to get to the root/soul

of all of us.

$: let\ting go$
the key to betterness/equity is to let go of control.

$: let\ting go$

$: let\ting go$
partial trust is no trust. trust isn’t earnable. it doesn’t depend on the other person being trustworthy. that’s judgment. not trust.

partial control (aka: partial freedom) is no freedom. it may make us feel better about ourselves. but it’s making the world worse. it’s not a fix. freedom can’t be measured/predicted/mandated. that’s control. not freedom.

and it’s killing us.

$: let\ting go$
which is ridiculous.

because the key is so simple. within reach.

we don’t need more meetings/prep/training/regulation/strategic-plans…

only one thing stands in our way to a better world

finding the bravery/wisdom

to all

no matter how well hidden .. or fun/shiny the trail to get there … or new-ish sounding or flowery the verbiage.. appears.. no matter how kind the people.. how well intended the intentions..

practically speaking (esp in regard to ed reform) a few signs we’re not letting go:• sentences end with math score comparisons• we don’t question compulsory/assumed basics• we talk competition/consumerism/credentials/money/cc• we talk• we make plans/scripts to engage others, to shape their curiosities• we think only some people can handle freedom/whimsy• we don’t think setting people free is our first/urgent problem

today we have the means to facilitate the curiosities of 7 billion people. everyday.

that’s fairly new.

but not yet tried/believed.

it won’t wake people up.enough.

choice matters.curiosity matters.
