On children, from Andrew Solomon’s masterpiece Far From The Tree: “Even when they are flawed, do wrong, hurt us, die—even then, they are part of the rightness by which we measure our own lives. Indeed, they are the rightness by which we measure life itself.”

I’m entering hospice today. Will probably update every little if at all. But I wanted to say to be kind, be brave, be principled, be an idealist. Most importantly, be a decent human. I love that we existed together, in this moment of time.

Loneliness has profound human and economic costs in our society. And the institutions where people spend most of their waking hours should be doing more to counteract it. s.hbr.org/36vEXP2

I just watched one of the best talks ever given on what smartphones, social media, and ed-tech are doing to childhood and education. From Sophie Winkleman. If you question the wisdom of the screen-based school day, you must watch, just 20 minutes: youtube.com/watch?v=7V6nuc…

I feel like there's a small minority of miserable and lonely people with crazy views (both left and right) who are the most fervent and engaged consumers of online content and most of our current problems are downstream of that fact.

Two years ago today I published this article making the case for phone-freee schools. The case is far stronger today, now that so many schools are getting great results, esp. hearing noise and laughter in the hallways again. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Dear managers: If you’re not going to consider feedback, it’s better not to seek it at all. Data: When people in power request input but then disregard it, they’re judged more negatively than if they hadn’t asked. Bad leaders ignore. Good leaders listen. Great leaders act.
