Convenience

I've become a fan of the Eduwonk blog. This interest might pass if I come to find it obnoxious. Or I'll lose interest, sort of, if the topics become so interesting to me that I become obsessed. Obsession would interfere with my current schedule.

Isn't that just reminiscent of why people don't take action to right wrongs they believe to exist? The righting of wrongs is often inconvenient. I might argue that leaving the wrongs around will eventually be more inconvenient, except that this isn't necessarily true. Lots of people avoid the right/good path and rise above the sector or group soonest affected by the wrong. So long as people in authority can rise above others when bad things come around, the bad things are likely to continue. Does this not sound like universally assured destruction?

People who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
