npub1axmrvkyyh6muj6jcd3md7j0zu0z78hlr0uh7huu5v5lgs98y0yksptdsle (npub1axm…dsle) Thanks for the poke to get me to respond :)
I am getting older and have worked in fields where they has been "controversy." Early on, my interest as an undergraduate was science education, specifically issues like evolution/ creationism, addressing pseudoscience, etc. Later in life, I have been interested in responding to myths in education (e.g. learning styles).
What I have learned is that many ideas that are seen as "cutting edge" by a new generation were throughly debunked in earlier generations (Stephen Jay Gould's response the The Bell Curve is a favorite example).
How we respond to tired old ideas matters. I am hopeful a new generation will push back on them, because I am trying to use my time left to explore what makes me curious.
