My headset, for taking calls. Being able to hear people clearly, and know they can hear me clearly, made a significant improvement to my quality of life.

Taking unprincipled, unreasoned positions is more fashionable.
Which tendency is more productive?
Everyone should be able to see the attacks on RMS and FSF for what they are: a campaign of bad-faith bullshit backed by corporate haters.
Mentorship for mastery is where the largest gains come from, so that's where I focus my working energy.
I have an individual practice where I do one-on-one tech mentoring from students to CEOs and beyond, and my clients see huge improvements in their capacity. It's very rewarding, and I intend to keep growing after lockdown ends. Writing marketing copy is harder than mentoring for me, so my website is lacklustre, but it works well enough at hosting my calendly link: https://imagineer.school
Mentorship doesn't replace the entire school experience, though. For that, I'm using the Sudbury Valley School model, and once everyone is vaccinated we'll open a K-12 physical school in Toronto 2025.
Is anyone else here working on democratic education models?
