Morgen in de papieren NRC, nu al online - mijn analyse over de crisis aan de universiteiten, en de veel grotere kwesties die er op het spel staan, die iedere inwoner van dit land aangaan. En wat we van onze politici en bestuurders (mogen) verwachten:
https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/11/08/hoe-zwakker-de-universiteit-hoe-gemakkelijker-het-kabinet-autoritair-beleid-kan-doorvoeren-a4872384

@allen@mstdn.social: Landelijke demonstratie, donderdag 14 november, 13:00-15:00, van Moreelse park Utrecht naar het Domplein.

Opinie | Hoe zwakker de universiteit, hoe gemakkelijker het kabinet autoritair beleid kan doorvoeren

Onderwijs en wetenschap: Het is crisis aan de universiteiten, nu het kabinet fors wil bezuinigen op het hoger onderwijs, schrijft Ingrid Robeyns. Het anti-intellectualisme van PVV en BBB bedreigt de vrije samenleving.

The larger context: over the last 9 months I have been involved in 'The Extreme Wealth Line Initiative', that tries to take steps to empirically develop the concept of an extreme wealth line (this falls under 'co-creation', right??). Our ultimate goals is to construct a widely endorsed Extreme Wealth Line that plays the same societal role as the World Bank's Extreme Poverty Line; this is one step on that long and most likely thorny path.

In the New Yorker, a fascinating profile of Marlene Engelhorn who gave her 25 million inheritance to a citizens' council that decided how it should be spent.

Engelhorn is very smart and reflective about her privilege and unjust structures in society. This is not the last thing we will hear from her. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/09/09/how-to-give-away-a-fortune

How to Give Away a Fortune

An Austrian heiress recruited fifty people from all walks of life to redistribute twenty-five million euros—if they could agree on how to spend it.

Is it possible for company owners to keep controlling their companies if we were to live in a world in which there is a cap on personal wealth (that is, in a limitarian world)? Rutger Claassen and I argue that this is absolutely possible. Our arguments can now be read over at Crooked Timber.

Heel herkenbaar stuk van Michael Merry over discriminatie en ongewenst gedrag aan de Nederlandse universiteiten. De korte samenvatting van mijn analyse is: zolang onze universiteiten zo hiërarchisch zijn, en er zo weinig (vaak: geen) interne democratie is, wordt dit probleem niet voldoende opgelost. Hiërarchie faciliteert macht, en te grote en persistente machtsverschillen zijn de voedingsbodem van ongewenst gedrag.

@gevoel@mastodon.green ik ben bang dat er uit de argumenten voor een grotere groep dan alleen de superrijken conclusies getrokken worden... :)
